Michael Bay Admits Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen’s Mystical Storyline Was “Crap;” Jabs At ‘Tron: Legacy’? By Germain Lussier/March 4, 2011 2:30 pm EST It took director Michael Bay two years to admit what we already knew. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen was “crap.” Bay said as much in an interview with Empire, where he revealed the first look at Sentinel Prime, one of the main players in Bay’s latest film, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, which will be released on July 1....

Mondo Will Release The ‘Drive’ Soundtrack On Vinyl; See Great Neon Posters For The Film By Russ Fischer/March 5, 2012 2:30 pm EST For some music lovers, vinyl LPs never stopped being an ideal way to listen to music. Stick to CDs or MP3s if you like, but I’ll continue to nurture my own enthusiasm for the large cover art and physical interaction with LPs. Last year, I reluctantly bought a digital copy of the score for Nicolas Winding Refn’s movie Drive, but would have much rather been able to purchase an LP pressing with the moody cues from Cliff Martinez....

Movie Trailer: Kat Dennings In ‘Daydream Nation’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 13, 2010 12:24 pm EST “The year this story takes place is the year nearly everything happened to me. It was the year I spent nearly all of my time having great sex with Mr. Anderson, my by-far favorite teacher.” We haven’t known too much about Daydream Nation, the indie named after a Sonic Youth record, which stars Kat Dennings and Josh Lucas....

Movie Trailer: Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere By Peter Sciretta/June 14, 2010 2:51 pm EST Focus Features has released the first movie trailer for Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere starring Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning.Watch the trailer now embedded after the jump. It very much feels like a thematic/tonal sequel to Lost in Translation, another Coppola film about famous father figure connecting with a daughter figure (more metaphoric in the other film) in a hotel....

NBC Renews ‘Parks & Recreation’, ‘Up All Night’, ‘Whitney’, Cancels ‘Awake’; ABC Re-Ups On ‘Happy Endings’, ‘Suburgatory’, ‘Revenge’, ‘Once Upon A Time’ By Angie Han/May 11, 2012 3:00 pm EST For better or for worse, networks are finally sorting out their schedules for the 2012-2013 season, which means renewals and cancellations are being announced left and right. Viewers of NBC and ABC’s comedy lineups will be happy to see most of their favorites safe for another year, but Awake fans should prepare to say goodbye....

New ‘Tales From The Crypt’ Series In Development By Angie Han/July 28, 2011 12:00 pm EST It’s been fifteen years since HBO’s horror series Tales from the Crypt ended its seven-season run, so I suppose it’s not terribly surprising that someone has decreed it time for a… reboot? Remake? I’m not sure what, exactly. Point is, there’s going to be another one. And it actually sounds pretty different from the old one....

New Photos: Several Images From ‘Thor,’ And A Single ‘Captain America’ Shot By Russ Fischer/March 16, 2011 4:30 pm EST One new image from Captain America (above, click to enlarge slightly) and several new scans of images from Thor have come online. The other pics, along with a new synopsis for Captain America, are after the break. These scans are via SuperHeroHype and, sadly, they’re not great quality. Hit that link to see a few more, but we’ve pulled the most notable new images....

Now Marilyn Monroe Has Dueling Biopics; One With Naomi Watts, One With Michelle Williams By Russ Fischer/May 13, 2010 2:22 pm EST I know that Marilyn Monroe is an American icon, but do we really need two biopics of the actress in the works? On one hand, there’s My Week With Marilyn, which started development last year. Scarlett Johansson was originally slated to star, then Michelle Williams stepped in. And now there is Blonde, which adapts the fake memoir by Joyce Carol Oates....

Three Day LOST Marathon Announced By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 27, 2010 7:00 am EST When Lost was coming to a conclusion, one of my friends felt left out (as he had never seen an episode of the series) and joked (half seriously) that he wanted to try to watch every episode over the period of a week in order to see the final episode when it aired live. I thought that was a ridiculous idea....

VOTD: Jonah Hill Teaches Elmo About Mustaches By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 28, 2010 6:00 am EST Sesame Street recently featured a segment featuring Jonah Hill and Elmo talking about mustaches. Mustaches? Jonah Hill? Elmo? All in one video clip? Hit the jump to watch it now.

VOTD: Real Life South Park Commercial By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2010 12:00 am EST What if South Park wasn’t a cartoon? What if it was a live action weekly show? What might that look like? Watch now in this international Comedy Central commercial. via: nerdcore VOTD: Real Life South Park Commercial By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2010 12:00 am EST What if South Park wasn’t a cartoon?

‘Burning Man’ Trailer - Matthew Goode Is Troubled, Popular With The Ladies By Angie Han/Sept. 14, 2011 4:00 pm EST [via The Playlist] I actually think the trailer looks pretty decent. The opening shot, of Goode inside the car as it crashes, is particularly gripping. However, early reviews haven’t been terribly kind to the film. While people seem to generally agree that Teplitzky’s got an eye for striking visuals, there’s less consensus on whether the film on the whole is effective....

‘Chronicle’ Director Josh Trank Responds To ‘Fantastic Four’ Rumor: “I Know As Much As You Guys Know” By Angie Han/Jan. 27, 2012 3:30 pm EST Trank’s comments don’t rule out the possibility that the studio really does plan to offer him the gig, but if that’s the case, it seems they haven’t made their intentions clear to the young filmmaker quite yet. I know as much as you guys know. I’m totally serious....

/Film Has Arrived At Sundance 2011 By David Chen/Jan. 20, 2011 11:36 pm EST This morning, I woke up at 6 AM and travelled for 10 hours to get to Park City, where the annual Sundance Film Festival is held. This year’s fest promises to be just as exciting as those from years past, and we at /Film hope to have coverage of all the indie films that people will be talking about over the next 12-18 months....

‘Les Misérables’ Teaser - Tom Hooper Dreamed A Dream By Angie Han/May 30, 2012 7:30 am EST Just yesterday, we got a big batch of promising photos from the set of Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables, and today we have something even better: the first teaser. While we’ve seen video of the cast on set before, this is our first time seeing actual footage from the movie. Expectations for this project have been sky-high ever since it was first announced, thanks to its beloved source material and A-list talents....

‘Lockout’ International Trailer: Get A Look At ‘Taken’ In Space By Russ Fischer/Dec. 5, 2011 10:30 am EST Luc Besson’s EuropaCorp turns an eye to space for the film Lockout (or Lock-Out depending on where you live), in which Guy Pearce has to rescue Maggie Grace from a prison that has been taken over by the inmates. Yep, there’s a reason this movie has been referred to as ‘Taken in space’ ever since it was in the first stages of production....

‘Mother’s Day’ Trailer By Germain Lussier/Jan. 17, 2011 7:00 pm EST This isn’t exactly an official trailer, but Bloody Disgusting has stumbled upon your best look yet at Darren Lynn Bousman’s horror/thriller/reimagining Mother’s Day starring Rebecca De Mornay, Jamie King and Shawn Ashmore. And as we wait for Bousman’s next film, 11-11-11, this one is scheduled to open on April 1. Check out the near 2 minute trailer, which was used as a sales promo in Germany, after the jump....

‘Solomon Kane’ Writer-Director Michael Bassett To Write And Direct ‘Silent Hill: Revelation 3D’ By Adam Quigley/Nov. 3, 2010 3:41 pm EST Silent Hill wasn’t a huge success at the box office—domestically it failed to even gross beyond its $50 million budget—but apparently between its worldwide gross ($98 million) and DVD sales, it made enough that a sequel is now in order. The sequel, which has been given the title Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, is confirmed as being shot in 3D rather than post-converted (as should be the case with all productions from now on), and also has a writer and director on board to boot....

‘The Hobbit’ Will Remain In New Zealand By Russ Fischer/Oct. 27, 2010 9:30 am EST While The Hobbit likely isn’t the first movie to keep a location because of legislation, I expect it will long hold the crown as the most famous. Weeks of labor dispute in New Zealand, followed by uncertainty about using the country as a filming location, have led to a deal between Warner Bros. and the New Zealand government to keep the films in Peter Jackson’s home country....

Atom Egoyan And Guy Maddin Making Short Films For Opening Of New Toronto Film Fest HQ By Russ Fischer/July 8, 2010 11:36 am EST For the past few years the Bell Lightbox has been under construction just on the north edge of downtown Toronto. The center is meant to be the new headquarters of the Toronto International Film Festival, and it finally opens this year, on September 12. In addition to the annual festival, which opens September 9, the center will open with a free exhibit called Essential Cinema, which will be complemented by a collection of new short films....
