‘Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/May 27, 2011 4:00 pm EST UPDATE: Yahoo now has a very slightly different US version of the trailer, and you can see it below, too. One of my most anticipated films for 2011 is Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, the movie co-written and produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by Troy Nixey in his feature debut.

‘Thin Ice’ Trailer - Greg Kinnear And Billy Crudup Swindle Alan Arkin In Wisconsin By Angie Han/Jan. 5, 2012 1:30 pm EST We first heard about Jill Sprecher’s Thin Ice when Greg Kinnear, Billy Crudup, and Alan Arkin signed on to star almost two years ago, back when it was still titled The Convincer.

‘Zombieland 2’ Is Cameo Hunting; Plus Early Plot Hints By Germain Lussier/Nov. 27, 2010 7:49 am EST [Editor’s note: The following article debatably contains a spoiler for the original Zombieland.] It’s not crazy to surmise that Zombieland went from good to great when Bill ‘Ghostbustin” Murray hit the screen.
