Cool Stuff: Olly Moss And Eric Tan’s ‘Captain America’ Propaganda Posters By Germain Lussier/July 19, 2011 7:00 am EST Monday, we exclusively premiered Mondo’s Tyler Stout posters for Captain America: The First Avenger. They were bold, brash, and exactly the kind of beautiful busy style we’ve come to expect from Stout. We also mentioned that, in addition to Stout’s Captain America posters, Mondo would be releasing additional Cap posters by /Film favorites, Eric Tan and Olly Moss....

Details and photos after the jump. Teefury’s shirt design is m. Brady Clark’s ABAETERNO, which is a great reference to Ab Aeterno, the ninth episode of season 6 of Lost.

Film Music: Preview ‘Looper’ Score, And Listen To All Of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Score Now By Russ Fischer/July 10, 2012 12:00 pm EST Here are two great score previews. One is a five-minute piece that previews the Nathan Johnson score for his cousin Rian Johnson’s film Looper. The video features Nathan Johnson discussing some of the ideas behind the score for the film, and features many samples of the music along with an explanation of where the samples used in the score came from....

How Elijah Wood Will Appear In ‘The Hobbit’ By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 7, 2011 11:00 am EST Last night it was reported that Elijah Wood was part of a group of actors shortlisted to return for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. This left a lot of people confused, as The Hobbit takes place before Wood’s character Frodo Baggins is even born. But now the official Lord of the Rigns fansite confirms that (as of now) Wood is set to reprise his role as Frodo in The Hobbit, and even explain how this will be possible....

James Cameron Still Plans To Make ‘Battle Angel,’ Maybe By Russ Fischer/April 18, 2012 11:30 am EST For years, a film adaptation of Yukito Kishiro’s manga Battle Angel Alita was one of the primary films James Cameron was developing as a possible directorial project. At some point the film that became Avatar took over as his priority project. That continues to be his prime focus, at least as far as narrative projects are concerned, with plans developing to shoot two Avatar sequels in the coming years....

Jeremy Renner To Co-Star With Tom Cruise In ‘Mission: Impossible 4’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 26, 2010 10:23 am EST There’s been a lot of talk about how Paramount would manage Mission: Impossible 4 after the not outrageously good box-office of Knight and Day. (Which was also not outrageously disappointing, as the film has made twice in foreign markets what it pulled domestically.) The big idea was that the studio would expand the script a bit to be split more evenly between Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt character and another operative....

John August’s Coverage Of Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Natural Born Killers’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 9, 2010 2:30 pm EST Writers will tell you one of the best ways to improve yourself is to read other people’s writing. So, for an aspiring screenwriter, reading a ton of scripts is an excellent exercise. It’s one that John August, writer of Go, Charlie’s Angels, Big Fish and The Nines (which he also directed) knows well. As a freshman at the University of Southern California, August was reading almost a script every other day and writing coverage of each, both for class and an internship....

Liam Neeson Reteaming With Joe Carnahan For ‘The Grey’; Replaces Bradley Cooper By Russ Fischer/Sept. 2, 2010 3:25 pm EST Early this year, Joe Carnahan revealed one project he wants to make as his follow-up to The A-Team: a film called The Grey. It soon became a Carnahan / Bradley Cooper film, and we even went with the obvious headline ‘Bradley Cooper and Joe Carnahan Reteam on The Grey.’ Now it’s time to rework that headline, as Bradley Cooper is out of the picture, and Liam Neeson has stepped in....

New ‘Drive Angry 3D’ Red-Band Spot Rejects Award-Season Prestige By Russ Fischer/Feb. 3, 2011 5:00 pm EST Are you sick of all the high-minded ads for films hyping up the awards season praise that has been piling up for some? Then this might be your antidote. A fresh red-band clip for Drive Angry 3D has been shot out of the UK like a magic bullet. It is full of blood, explosions and a few boobs....

New Photo Of Jason Segel And Walter From ‘The Muppets,’ Plus More Plot Details By Germain Lussier/Jan. 7, 2011 12:30 pm EST We’re slowly but surely learning more and more about The Muppets. We got our first really good look at the film in Entertainment Weekly, then Peter walked down the street to Jim Henson Studios and got some exclusive photos from the set. The film, which comes out this Thanksgiving, stars Jason Segel, Amy Adams and Chris Cooper but also features a ton of cameos including Zach Galifianakis, Jack Black, Robin Williams, Ricky Gervais, Emily Blunt, Alan Arkin, Jean Claude Van Damme and others....

CAA is negotiating a deal for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s next movie that will pay him $10 million upfront and 25% first dollar gross on the back end. In his heyday, Schwarzenegger was a $25M/25% first dollar gross earner....

Ridley Scott: “I’ll Never Work Without 3D Again” By Germain Lussier/July 21, 2011 8:33 pm EST Earlier today, Comic Con audiences got their first look at Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and the director himself showed up, via satellie from Iceland, to join in the fun. Part of the news is that Scott is, in fact, shooting Prometheus in 3D and to that point he made the following shocking statement. I’ll never work without 3D again, even for small dialogue scenes....

Sylvester Stallone To Star In Prison Thriller ‘The Tomb’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 28, 2011 11:00 am EST The Tomb is like a revolving door of action stars and directors. The Summit project has been kicking around since 2008, with Jeff Wadlow (Never Back Down) as the original director and then Antoine Fuqua once set to direct and Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger flirting with the lead role. Now all of the above have moved on, and Willis and Schwarzenegger’s comrade in Expendability, Sylvester Stallone, is signing on to star....

The Disappearance Of Alice Creed US Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/April 26, 2010 12:00 am EST You may recall that we ran a UK teaser trailer for The Disappearance of Alice Creed in a March edition of This Week in Trailers. A Bigger Boat and Anchor Bay Entertainment have finally released a proper U.S. trailer for the film. The movie is about the kidnapping and ransom of a daughter of a rich businessman....

The Origin Of Marty And Doc’s Friendship In ‘Back To The Future’ Finally Explained By Germain Lussier/Aug. 18, 2011 1:00 pm EST Over the course of three Back to the Future movies, a major plot point that’s never explained is how Marty McFly became friends with Doc Brown. One is a free-wheeling teenager, the other a wild, middle-aged scientist. In reality, they’d probably never even meet, let alone be friends. But from the first frame of film one, we’re forced to buy into this unlikely friendship and we do....

VOTD: ‘Harry Potter’ Interpreted Via ‘The Book Of Mormon’ By Germain Lussier/July 11, 2011 3:30 pm EST Disclaimer: Outside of the fact that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 comes out this weekend, this video has nothing to do with movies. It’s a parody song about a book based on a song from a Broadway musical written by guys who do a TV show. So even though this isn’t technically “film” related, a Harry Potter parody song based on the song Hello from The Book of Mormon, co-written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone who do South Park, probably is worth a mention....

VOTD: Watch David Fincher Direct ‘The Social Network’ By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 3, 2010 7:00 am EST One of my favorite things to do is watch good behind the scenes documentaries for good films by great filmmakers. Unfortunately, many of the behind the scenes documentaries released on DVD/Blu-ray today are those fluff piece slickly edited featurettes, many of which are more a glossy informercial for the film than an interesting peek behind the scenes....

Watch Every Death From The First Four ‘Final Destination’ Films [NSFW] By Russ Fischer/Aug. 10, 2011 1:00 pm EST Final Destination 5 opens this week, and you really don’t want to go into this latest sequel in which death is not the end without knowing your Final Destination death history. So here, for the purposes of research only, is a supercut of every death in the franchise. And because character and story are hardly the point when it comes to these films, this is really the best way to catch up....

Which ‘Tintin’ Story Will Be The Basis For A Potential Sequel? By Germain Lussier/Dec. 15, 2011 5:00 pm EST As most of you probably know, Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s The Adventures of Tintin, which will be released next week, was originally called The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Though the subtitle was dropped and the film pulls from several stories, that’s the primary Herge book this first film is based on....
