‘The Avengers’ Teaser Trailer By Germain Lussier/Oct. 11, 2011 7:22 am EST Even with all the casting, set photos, posters and more, comic fans still might not be able to process that Marvel is actually making an Avengers movie. We’re actually going to see Thor, Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye all on screen at once, fighting the forces of evil. Now you can see it with your own two eyes....
‘The Dark Knight Rises:’ New Scene Revealed, More Details On Catwoman Suit By Germain Lussier/Dec. 29, 2011 8:30 am EST The first time you watched the theatrical trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, a ton of questions obviously popped onto your head. For me, one of them was, “Why is Bruce Wayne in prison again?” In Batman Begins, the young Mr. Wayne was in prison punishing himself for the fate of his parents only to come out of the experience stronger than before and on his way to becoming the Caped Crusader....
‘Trespass’ Trailer: Threatened, Nicolas Cage And Nicole Kidman Turn The Tables On Their Attackers By Russ Fischer/Aug. 17, 2011 9:00 pm EST We’ve wondered what the story really is with Joel Schumacher’s Trespass, in which Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman and Liana Liberato play a family held in their home by invading criminals Ben Mendelsohn and Cam Gigandet. Do the invaders want money? Diamonds? Secrets? And does Trespass really turn into an all-out violent morass at the end?...

Best Foreign Language Film Oscar Shortlist Down To Nine, Including ‘A Separation’ And ‘Pina’ By Russ Fischer/Jan. 18, 2012 4:00 pm EST The sixty-three films eligible for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 2012 Oscars have been culled down to nine movies, and the resulting list is a bit surprising. Not making the cut is The Flowers of War, with Christian Bale, or Miss Bala, the Mexican film that did well at festivals last year....
Casting Bits: Brian Geraghty In ‘Flight;’ Alexia Fast In ‘One Shot;’ Mira Sorvino In ‘The Class Project’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 27, 2011 9:00 am EST Robert Zemeckis is getting ready to make Flight, in which Denzel Washington plays a booze- and drug-addled pilot who heroically saves a troubled flight, only to face an investigation into his role in the flight’s troubles.

Casting Bits: Sam Worthington In ‘Drift;’ Johnny Knoxville Not In ‘The Three Stooges’ By Russ Fischer/March 17, 2011 8:00 am EST Sam Worthington is going back to Australia. The actor is set to star in Drift, a surfing drama that will be co-directed by Morgan O’Neill and Ben Nott from a script by Morgan O’Neill. The film is set in 1972 and follows “brothers who start a new life in a remote Australian coastal town....
Dan Aykroyd On ‘Ghostbusters 3:’ “We Will Be Doing The Movie, Hopefully With Mr. Murray” By Russ Fischer/Aug. 25, 2011 3:30 pm EST Ghostbusters 3 is not a film I’m particularly keen to see made, but at this point I really want it to happen just so people can stop asking Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray about whether or not it is going to happen. No one likes to talk about the project like Aykroyd likes to talk about it, and when the big question was put to him this week — is it happening?...
David O. Russell Quits ‘Uncharted’ By Russ Fischer/May 26, 2011 1:16 pm EST Here’s something I expect many fans of the Uncharted video games will like: David O. Russell has quit the feature film adaptation of the game, leaving Sony looking for a new director. This is actually the second time we’ve reported that he wouldn’t make Uncharted. It was just over a year ago, in early May 2010, that the possibility he’d direct was reported, but in August we heard that negotiations couldn’t be worked out and he wouldn’t do the film....
David O. Russell To Direct Biopic Of Sleaze Auteur Russ Meyer? By Russ Fischer/March 18, 2011 6:00 am EST Now David O. Russell might make a film about Russ Meyer, who died in 2004 at age 82. David O. Russell almost has more projects percolating than we can count, but a Russ Meyer biopic could be a worthwhile endeavor. He’s one of those figures whose films are often known more by reputation than experience, and the actual man is even more unknown to most....

It’s a shot from behind the head of lead character Abin Cooper, played by Michael Parks (Kill Bill Volume 2), who is a preacher loosely based on Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church.

First Official Look: Gina Carano In Steven Soderbergh’s ‘Haywire’ By Russ Fischer/July 1, 2011 5:00 am EST Would it be so bad if the first official image from all of our most anticipated films for the next year involved a prominent cast member firing a rifle with some massive muzzle flash, would it? We saw an image like this featuring Bruce Willis from Looper, and now here’s the first official still from Steven Soderbergh’s Haywire....

Listen To Karen O’s ‘Jackass 3D’ Song By Germain Lussier/Oct. 8, 2010 6:00 am EST Jackass 3D is a mere week away and it’s like everywhere you go, Johnny Knoxville and the gang are right in your face with a huge high five. We’ve seen some awesome advertising, the cast of Jersey Shore give their two cents seemingly every MTV commercial break, a huge reaction after the footage showed at Comic Con and the whole gang in the music video of the Weezer song “Memories....
Michael Stahl-David & Zoe Kazan Cast In Joss Whedon-Penned ‘In Your Eyes’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 15, 2012 12:30 pm EST Last year Joss Whedon made an unexpected announcement: in addition to making Marvel’s The Avengers, he had formed a company called Bellwether Pictures, intended as a ‘micro-studio’ that will create small indie films. The first Bellwether film is already shot; it is a Whedon-directed adaptation of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing....
Miramax Deal Delays ‘The Debt’ And ‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 11, 2010 3:18 pm EST Briefly: Miramax essentially has new owners, but the process of handing the reins of the studio over from Disney to Ron Tutor and Colony Capital isn’t a speedy one. Given that Miramax hasn’t got many films, there won’t be deep repercussions if the deal takes some time. But Deadline says that the process has pushed The Debt (trailer) and Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (trailer), previously scheduled for December 29 and late January, into new TBD dates....
Movie Trailer #3: ‘Tron Legacy’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 9, 2010 8:55 am EST After all the posters and clips we’ve been on the verge of Tron Legacy overload in the past few months. OK, more than on the verge: we’ve got a lot of Tron materials. So why stop now? There’s a third, and presumably final trailer for the film. Disney is calling it the Tron Legacy ‘payoff’ trailer, and that might clue you into the fact that this one shows off a big chunk of the plot arc, and relies on the dual personalities of Jeff Bridges....
Plans Afoot For A Female ‘Expendables,’ But Who Will Star? By Russ Fischer/Aug. 20, 2012 9:00 am EST Briefly: The Expendables 2 made a reasonable showing when it opened a relatively slow weekend this past Friday, and so we presume that plans for another similar film announced last week are still going through. Adi Shankar’s company 1984 Private Defense Contrators, which co-financed films such as The Grey, Machine Gun Preacher, and Killing Them Softly, has hired Dutch Southern to write what is being called a female riff on The Expendables....
POTD: ‘The Hobbit’ Wraps Principal Photography By Russ Fischer/July 6, 2012 8:00 am EST Well over a year ago, on March 21 2011, principal photography began on Peter Jackson’s two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit. Today the production finished principal photography, and Peter Jackson has sent out a note and photo to commemorate the occasion. Peter Jackson (or his assistant, but why split hairs) posted the photo to Facebook, along with a note:...
