They’re the cast of the upcoming comedy Take Me Home Tonight, which opens March 4 and is set in 1988.

Warner Bros. Putting ‘The Wizard Of OZ’ DVDs On Moratorium Until Late 2013 By Russ Fischer/Feb. 14, 2012 9:30 am EST Tell me if this makes sense to you. On March 8, 2013 Disney will release Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful, which is a prequel to the classic The Wizard of Oz. What better way to drive sales of the DVD release of the original film, right? But Warner Bros....

Hiccup, Toothless and the whole crew could soon be flying into to an arena near you. DreamWorks and a live entertainment company named Global Creatures just announced that the How To Train Your Dragon Arena Spectacular will premiere in Australia in March 2012 before hitting New Zealand and then landing in the United States by June 2012....

Now there are a few different things flying around that look like confirmations of that report — one even comes from Anchorman director Adam McKay. Check out the info below....

‘Hellraiser: Revelations’ Trailer – Is The Ninth Time The Charm? By Germain Lussier/Aug. 22, 2011 3:00 pm EST Hellraiser: Revelations is the ninth film in the Clive Barker franchise. Yes, you read that right. Ninth. Since the 1987 original, which Barker directed, films with subtitles like Inferno, Hellseeker, Deader and Hellworld have all followed leading up to Revelations. This latest installment takes the story of an ancient box that unlocks the sadistic, other-worldly Cenobites and gives it a reality TV twist as a group of friends film what happens when they open the Lament Configuration, only to later have their parents discover the tape....

‘Sucker Punch’ Trailer #2 By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 22, 2011 4:00 pm EST Warner Bros. has released a new movie trailer for Zack Snyder’s new action fantasy film Sucker Punch, which stars Emily Browning, Abbie Cornish, Jena Malone, Vanessa Hudgens and Jamie Chung. It’s essentially a music video compilation of a bunch of kick-ass special effects-enhanced action sequences. It seems as if they got a bath of the final special effects shots approved and wanted to show them off to the public....

‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ To Open One Day Early By Germain Lussier/Dec. 13, 2011 10:30 am EST Briefly: Maybe I’m the only one incredibly excited by this, because I’m traveling on December 21, but Sony has now officially pushed the opening of David Fincher’s The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo up from that Wednesday to Tuesday December 20 at 7 p.m. “This is one of the busiest times of the year for moviegoing and we can’t wait to share this outstanding thriller with audiences all over the world,” Sony Pictures chairman Jeff Blake said....

‘The Grey’ Theatrical Trailer: Liam Neeson Vs. Wolves Round 2 By Germain Lussier/Dec. 2, 2011 9:30 am EST The teaser trailer for The Grey, Joe Carnahan’s man vs. wolf survival action story starring Liam Neeson, concluded with an epic showdown featuring Neeson getting ready to fight a wolf with broken mini-bar booze bottles taped to his hands. Basically, it was amazing. This brand-new theatrical trailer ends the exact same way but, before it gets there, we’re given a much better sense of the scope of the story and fear that the characters played by Dallas Roberts, James Badge Dale, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo, Nonso Anozie, and Joe Anderson must face....

‘This Must Be The Place’ Trailer - Sean Penn Rocks Out, Hunts Nazis By Angie Han/Dec. 21, 2011 10:00 am EST I’m still not totally sure what to make of Paolo Sorrentino’s This Must Be the Place, which has one of the more unusual premises I’ve heard in a while. Sean Penn stars as a retired rock star, still in eyeliner and lipstick, who takes up his recently deceased father’s quest to find and confront the man who tortured him at Auschwitz....

Cell Phone At Premiere Of 1928 Charlie Chaplin Film Debunked By Germain Lussier/Oct. 29, 2010 10:00 am EST Earlier this week, we were one of many sites to post a very intriguing video that hit the web. It was from the extras on the DVD of Charlie Chaplin’s 1928 film The Circus and showed what many believed to be a woman on a cell phone in 1928. George Clarke, the filmmaker and Simon Pegg lookalike who made the video, surmised the only thing it could be was a time traveler....

Comic-Con: Skyline Footage Description By Adam Quigley/July 23, 2010 3:06 pm EST What the hell is Skyline? That was the question that’s been wracking my brain ever since seeing the film’s title plastered across, appropriately, a massive skyline. The premise makes it sound suspiciously like Battle: Los Angeles, with an extraterrestrial force descending on LA to wipe out civilization. It also has one big knock against it on the outset: the film is directed by the Brothers Strause, the same duo behind AVP: Requiem....

Darren Aronofsky Trying To Secure Christian Bale For ‘Noah’ By Russ Fischer/June 14, 2011 8:05 am EST Trouble is, the other half of the budget is a good amount of money, as Noah is likely to cost around $130 million. So having a big name attached to the film would help, and Darren Aronofsky is now looking to Christian Bale to be that name. Vulture says the director and actor are in talks to get Christian Bale to commit to the film....

First Poster For ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 18, 2011 5:57 pm EST It’s only October 2011 but Hollywood is already gearing up for October 2012. Lionsgate in particular will have a very bloody month.

I Love You, Phillip Morris Release Delayed Indefinitely By Russ Fischer/April 9, 2010 7:39 am EST I can’t say I’m surprised about this, but I am quite sad: Consolidated Pictures Group, the small distributor that picked up I Love You, Phillip Morris quite some time after Sundance 2009, has decided to shelve the film. Sorry, not ‘shelve.’ The phrase is, I believe, ‘delay indefinitely.’ Last time we wrote about the movie, when a trailer arrived in January, it was set for a March 26 release....
