James Badge Dale has been having one helluva year and it's not stopping anytime soon. He can currently be seen as Guy Pearce's hot-tempered henchman in Iron Man 3. Next he'll be staring down the apocalypse alongside Brad Pitt in World War Z. And then after that he'll be seen as the title character's older brother in The Lone Ranger. The man's got one helluva agent, it seems. It also doesn't hurt that he's immensely talented and, for this writer's money, one of the coolest actors of his generation. The man steals scenes no matter how small the role or how big the cast around him (just look at The Departed, Flight and The Grey for evidence of that), and he can anchor complex TV shows (he was tremendous on HBO's The Pacific and...

Pacific Rim Trailer: Jaegers fight Kaiju to save humankind from extinction — but should they bother? Michael Bay’s Transformers 5 (or 6 or 7, sorry, lost count) has a new trailer — er … scratch that. Let me start again: Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim has a new trailer. Before you check it out, remember that every similarity between del Toro’s Pacific Rim and Bay’s Transformers movies (and Matt Reeves’ Cloverfield and Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds and Peter Berg’s Battleship and Gareth Edwards’ upcoming Godzilla remake and TV’s The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and …) is mere coincidence. After all, the Pacific Rim screenplay (credited to del Toro and Travis Beacham) is based on an "original story" — aka film treatment — penned by Beacham. Now, check out the Pacific Rim trailer below.

The Nixon director's new American history series sees him follow in the footsteps of Alfred Hitchcock, David Lynch and Steven Spielberg
The title of Oliver Stone's Untold History of the United States, the 10-part documentary series that starts its UK run this Friday (Sky Atlantic, 9pm), is carefully calculated to maximise on the celebrity of the film director, possibly surprising viewers at finding such a big-screen name in the small-screen listings.
Stone's attempt to correct what he sees as Us-centric teaching of 20th-century history in American schools is full of arresting connections – sauerkraut was renamed liberty cabbage in the Us during the first world war and french fries became freedom fries during the "war on terror" – and the British screening of his series is subject to its own intriguing connection: this week's announcement that the American drama Bates Motel has been bought for broadcast in the UK by the Universal Channel. »

Leave it to Ryan Murphy to find another tantalizing subject that should satiate his devoted audience.
EW has confirmed that the co-creator of Glee, American Horror Story and The New Normal is busy shopping a new script with Dexter co-executive producer Lauren Gussis that Deadline describes as a modern, provocative exploration of human sexuality and relationships.
It’s likely the project will end up on cable, where all of the good hibity-dibity seems to be happening these days. And there’s already a bidding frenzy in the works.
In fact, steamy sex series could become the next rage. In September, »

Many films screen at the White House. Few get such an overt endorsement as First Lady Michelle Obama gave to the Jackie Robinson biopic “42″ today.
“We think that everybody in this country needs to watch this movie,” she told a crowd at a gathering in the State Dining Room, where Harrison Ford, Chadwick Boseman, director Brian Helgeland and producer Thomas Tull took part in a “film workshop” with about 80 high school and college students. Also present was Robinson’s widow, Rachel. They also will be attending a screening tonight in the Family Theater in the East Wing of the Executive Mansion.
It’s undoubtedly great publicity for the movie, which opens April 12 through Warners, but begs the question of just how these events are arranged.
There is a long tradition of White House movie nights, dating back to the first film to be shown at the White House, “Birth of a Nation, »

There has been a few rumours circulating that Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg were set to join forces again for HBO following the huge success of 2001′s Band Of Brothers and The Pacific from 2010. Now, THR have revealed that it is happening and due to be called Masters Of The Air, which is based on Donald L. Miller’s non-fiction book: Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany.
It’s perfect ground for Hanks and Spielberg, who have an extensive history with such source material and I’m sure they’ll want to portray it in the right way, as both legends have a lot of respect and understanding for WWII. Gary Goetzman will join the two in producing, as he co-owns Playtone – Tom Hanks production company – together with Amblin Television for HBO.

In all of the trailers and TV spots that have been released for Iron Man 3, one character we haven't really seen very much of is the villain Eric Savin who is played by James Badge Dale. In the comics, the character is a U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who later becomes a cyborg villain known as Coldblood. Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige sheds some new light on what role this character will play in the movie saying,
James Badge Dale plays a character known as Savin. He works for Guy Pearce’s character, Aldrich Killian. You don’t know a lot about Savin at first but as the movie unfolds you learn more and more that he is a very frightening individual and he’s somebody that has used Maya Hansen’s technology Extremis for his own ends. He’s somebody who can walk around and seemingly be just sort of an average Joe, »

Director Steven Spielberg is turning an unproduced Stanley Kubrick screenplay about French leader Napoleon Bonaparte into a TV mini-series.
Here's what the filmmaker had to say in a recent interview.
"I've been developing Stanley Kubrick's screenplay for a miniseries, not for a motion picture, about the life of Napoleon. Kubrick wrote the script in 1961, long time ago. And the Kubrick family, because we made A.I.: Artificial Intelligence together, the Kubrick family and I, the next project we are working on, the miniseries is going to be Napoleon."
After Stanely Kubrick's death in 1999, Steven Spielberg took the reins on A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, which was released in 2001.
Stanley Kubrick tried to make his Napoleon movie throughout the 1960s before abandoning it in the early 1970s after no Hollywood studio would finance the project. The late filmmaker researched the French leader for years, and offered the lead roles to Oskar Werner and Audrey Hepburn. »

Twelve years ago, HBO put to screen a miniseries that was one part Television event, one part historical drama, which had the considerable backing of executive producers Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks and the hype of being something of a spiritual successor to their highly acclaimed war film Saving Private Ryan. Through ten one hour long episodes, essentially using TV as a medium to explore a vast and epic journey through the Second World War that would simply be impossible to map on the big screen, and with Stephen E Ambrose’s critically acclaimed non-fiction book as source material and a huge cast representing a collective of real world heroes, one of the most ambitious storytelling exercises the small screen has ever mounted was brought to life. The result was much fanfare, both critically and among the masses, a recurring trope that continues to this day, and the fledgling start »

Last month NBC debuted a 30-second teaser for its upcoming serial killer series Hannibal, and now we have a new two-minute trailer, which gives us a much better idea of what to expect from Hannibal Lecter's latest screen incarnation.
Created by Bryan Fuller (Pushing Daisies), Hannibal centres on the early relationship between the cannibalistic doctor and the man responsible for Lecter's initial capture, FBI Special Agent Will Graham. Mads Mikkelsen, best known to Western audiences for his turn as Le Chiffre in 2006's Casino Royale, steps into the role previously portrayed by Brian Cox (Manhunter) and, most famously, Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal), while Hugh Dancy (The Big C) portrays the criminal profiler Graham.
Also set to feature in the 13-part TV series are Caroline Dhavernas (The Pacific), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Beauty and the Beast), Aaron Abrams (The L.A. Complex), Hettienne Park (Young Adult), Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix »

Jonah Hill popped up in Django Unchained, John 'Captain Jack' Barrowman in Zero Dark Thirty. But which stars made the most impact with the least effort?
James Badge Dale 'Gaunt young man' in Flight
A veteran of hard-bitten parts in 24, The Pacific and CSI, Dale had a single-scene outing in Flight, playing an emaciated cancer patient who exists to act as a wheezing existential cupid to Denzel Washington's boozy pilot and Kelly Reilly's friendly junkie.
Rhea Perlman 'Mikvah lady' in The Sessions
Perlman's Jewish bathhouse attendant who gives Helen Hunt advice and a towel in The Sessions comes four years after her role in the sixth Beethoven movie, which went straight to video.
Jonah Hill 'Bag Head #2' in Django Unchained

Be warned, there are spoilers...
“In a strange way our work relationship isn’t like it ended and began again; we continuously collaborate and have done for many years now,” says Dan Glass of his long-time creative partnership with filmmakers Andy and Lana Wachowski which dates back to the sequels The Matrix Reloaded (2003) and The Matrix Revolutions (2003). “The only break in it was Batman Begins [2005]. While I was doing The Tree of Life [2011] I also did Speed Racer [2008] with them and Ninja Assassin [2009]. Cloud Atlas [2012] came up after Ninja which was directed by James McTeigue.
