A new trailer for the thriller Premium Rush has gone online. The film was initially slated to open in January of this year before being pushed back to August, so we saw the first theatrical trailer way back in September. Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as a New York bicycle messenger who has a routine delivery turn into a life or death situation. I’m a big fan of both Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon, who plays the film’s antagonist, but I’m unable to muster any real enthusiasm for this pic. The trailer plays up the film’s high-octane thriller aspect while singling out a lot of bike stunts, but I can’t help but feel like Premium Rush would have been more relevant/enticing during the X-Games boom in the 90s. That said, with Gordon-Levitt and Shannon in the cast I'm willing to give the film a shot. Hit the jump to watch the trailer. »

It doesn't look like Universal has any doubts that "Snow White and the Huntsman" is going to be one of the biggest hits of the summer.
Despite the fact that the film won't be hitting theaters for another month, the studio is wasting no time in planning a sequel to the dark fairy tale — and it's looking to recruit one of the most prolific (and expensive) screenwriters in Hollywood to tell the tale, according to Deadline.
David Koepp has built a reputation as a go-to blockbuster writer, having penned films for Steven Spielberg ("Jurassic Park," "The Lost World," "War of the Worlds," "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"), Sam Raimi ("Spider-Man"), David Fincher ("Panic Room"), Brian De Palma ("Carlito's Way," "Mission: Impossible," "Snake Eyes"), Ron Howard ("Angels & Demons") and Barry Sonnenfeld (this summer's "Men in Black III").
Koepp's work as a director tends to be a little »

In keeping with the trend of studios jumping the gun on potential franchises, Universal is looking to get a script going for a sequel to this summer’s Snow White and the Huntsman. The studio is apparently already in discussions with David Koepp (Spider-Man) to get to work on a sequel to the highly anticipated fantasy epic. Apparently Universal is hoping to fast track the project so they can make it director Rupert Sanders’ next film. The trailers have actually been quite impressive for the dark take on the classic tale, and Sanders looks to have crafted a decidedly unique and epic film. Hit the jump for more. News of Koepp’s involvement comes via Deadline, but Universal president Ron Meyer previously revealed that they hope to build a franchise around the Huntsman character of the film (played by the incredibly busy Chris Hemsworth). No word on where that leaves »

Sam Worthington is what you might call a "straight shooter." What's most surprising when talking with the Australian-born star -- other than learning about his "Hunger Games" fandom -- is his candor when discussing past films. He's the first to admit that he didn't like his performance in "Clash of the Titans" (the 2010 predecessor to his current film, "Wrath of the Titans"), going as far to say that he felt he didn't have a character in that first film. But what if he didn't like his performance in a movie that he's currently promoting? Worthington is far from shy when discussing what he feels is his responsibility as an actor in relation to the audience. In "Wrath of the Titans," Worthington once again plays Perseus, the son of Zeus. The now-famed half-man, half-god, Kraken-killer has decided to, along with his son, Helius, live the quiet life of a fisherman. And »

I once had a friend ask me, “Don’t you ever watch anything happy?”
This was after she’d noticed, over the course of about a week, that I had watched a whole bunch of documentaries on National Geographic, a smattering of crime shows, and a whole lot of “Shark Week” specials. I protested that of course I watch some happy shows, there just aren’t that many of them that I like because “reality” TV just never seems to die.
When pilot season starts, I usually have a list of new shows that I want to try watching, and I do the same thing with mid-season replacements. Of course, I always do my best to catch any projects that my favorite actors are starring in, but there are also shows that just pique my curiosity.
Admittedly, my tastes almost always run towards sci-fi, fantasy, and horror shows. Some of »

Michael Barry has been a re-recording mixer for more than two decades, working on over 100 films. Some of the directors he has collaborated with include Tony Gilroy (Duplicity, Michael Clayton), Stephen Daldry (The Reader), David Koepp (Ghost Town, Secret Window), Robert Altman (Short Cuts, A Prairie Home Companion) and the Coen Brothers (The Big Lebowski, Fargo). In our interview he discusses his beginnings in sound, the job of the mixer, and the future of sound in film.
Filmmaker: When did you become interested in sound and film?
Barry: My mother studied piano at Juilliard. I grew up with her playing the Steinway in our house. She wanted me to practice but, well, you know. I did try later in life, and it just never took. I must have acquired some sort of listening expertise from my mother playing. She would comment that I could hear in-between the sound, which didn »
