LOL: Watch ‘Transformers: Dark Of The Moon’ With Autobot Cine-Mask 3D Glasses By Germain Lussier/Feb. 21, 2011 3:00 pm EST Not only is 3D driving movie ticket prices through the roof, it’s driving manufacturers to make very unnecessary products. A few months back we showed you a whole bunch of different TRON: Legacy themed 3D glasses and at this year’s New York Toy Fair, Hasbro announced they’ve partnered with Real-D to create Autobot Cine-Mask 3D glasses so kids can watch Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 3D looking like Bumblebee or Optimus Prime....
Martin Freeman Indeed First Choice For Bilbo In ‘The Hobbit,’ May Still Play The Part By Russ Fischer/Sept. 8, 2010 10:45 am EST Yesterday there was a rumor, sourced from the UK tabloid The Sun, that Martin Freeman was being courted to play Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit, and that he’d turned down the role because of his commitment to the BBC series Sherlock. I was dismissive of the report because The Sun doesn’t exactly have a magnificent track record....

Word out of festivals in the past month wasn’t terribly positive with respect to Julie Taymor’s adaptation of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. And now that the first trailer is here it is easy to make a guess or to as to why. The cast is phenomenal: Helen Mirren leads as Prospera, with Russell Brand, Alfred Molina, Djimon Hounsou, David Strathairn, Chris Cooper, Alan Cumming, Ben Whishaw, Reeve Carney, Felicity Jones and Tom Conti....
Movie Trailer: Wes Craven’s ‘My Soul To Take’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 17, 2010 4:08 pm EST We haven’t covered it very much, but in addition to the now-shooting Scream 4, Wes Craven has another movie coming up. This isn’t a sequel or anything, but it is very much in keeping with the basic Wes Craven methodology: high school kids are in danger thanks to an evil legacy that haunts their town, and may be possessing one of them....
New ‘Hunger Games’ Stills And Set Photos [Gallery] By Angie Han/Jan. 3, 2012 12:30 pm EST As excited I am for Gary Ross’ The Hunger Games, even I have to admit that some of the earlier news bits and marketing materials to trickle out were less than thrilling. Remember the time they spread out the very minor tribute casting announcements over weeks and weeks? Or those one-second clips they put out in advance of the teaser?...
New Details About ‘21 Jump Street’ With Jonah Hill And Channing Tatum By Germain Lussier/Feb. 4, 2011 10:32 am EST When Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum team up for the film version of 21 Jump Street, it’s not going to be some kind of literal remake of the popular FOX TV series than ran from 1987-1991. Hill had long ago been quoted saying the film, directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, would be a mix of Bad Boys and John Hughes, basically borrowing the idea for the original show – about a group of young looking police officers who go undercover in high school – and putting a modern spin on it....

That’s the new Jane Eyre image, above, showing Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender as the lead characters of Charlotte Brontë’s famous novel. We’ve seen one trailer already (and it was pretty wonderful, check it if you missed that post) but this image is notable for showing the characters in a serene, even tender moment....

Today Reddit user jabo27 has posted a photo of a Star Wats-inspired snow fort, in the shape of a crashed AT-AT.

Simon Beaufoy At Work On ‘Hunger Games’ Sequel Script By Russ Fischer/Jan. 16, 2012 3:30 pm EST Lionsgate may have purchased Summit and consequently got its grubby little hands on the rights to Twilight, but before the lion can further exploit Stephenie Meyer’s sparkly vampires, the company will be releasing the first film based on Suzanne Collins’ novel series The Hunger Games. Last time we checked in on development of the sequel, Catching Fire, the word was that Lionsgate wanted Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) to script....
Siri Becomes A Film Geek With iOS 6 By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 20, 2012 12:24 pm EST When iOS6 was announced, Apple said they were introducing new functions to the popular voice assistant program Siri, including the ability to search movies. I always thought one of the big shortcomings of the initial release was that Siri was unable to tell you what movies were playing at your local movie theater. With the new operating system update, Siri does more than that — she has become a film geek in her own right....

In the last week alone, we’ve gotten hints at the titles of the new James Bond film as well as a possible Doctor Strange movie because Sony and Disney were caught registering a bunch of domains....

Watch A Scene From ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows Part 2’ By Germain Lussier/April 11, 2011 2:30 pm EST One of the big selling points of the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One DVD that will be released Friday is a brand new scene from the beginning of Harry Potter and the Deatlhy Hallows Part Two, which is scheduled for release July 15. If you’re like me and would love to see the scene, but would rather wait until Warner Brothers releases both movies as one release (or, better yet, all eight films as one release) look no further....
