A Black Swan spoof seems like a terribly stale idea at this point, but then it’s not like any of their previous installments were right on the cutting edge either. Scary Movie 5 is slotted to open January 11, 2013. [via First Showing]
The story in “Scary Movie 5” involves the dance world, with a snooty, aloof, imperious, and oversexed French director of a dance company named Pierre putting on a huge production. Jody, a Caucasian late-20’s mother of two and her late-20’s African American friend Kendra are both vying for the lead in the production. Jody’s extremely controlling former dancer mother is determined that Jody will have the brilliant career that eluded her. The highly skilled mid-30’s Diva veteran dancer with the company, Heather Daltry, gets cut from the production and goes berserk.

Baskin-Robbins has teamed up with Sony to offer five new menu items linked to Men in Black 3, including one that’s actually inspired by a scene from the movie. The other four are just related to MIB3 because Baskin-Robbins and Sony insist they are.

Could this finally be a reason to watch Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator? According to Reddit user projectmustard, the first (1:07) teaser for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues will debut in front of The Dictator, which opens May 16. Projectmustard claims to have picked up the news from working “in the industry,” but since we don’t know who this person really is, I’d urge you to take this intel with a grain of salt.
That said, it’s not completely unlikely that Paramount would be eager to get an early start on advertising its long-awaited sequel. If projectmustard’s story is true, we’ll probably get a stylized logo or something along those lines rather than any actual footage from the film.
Vin Diesel’s never been shy about showing off the goods, whether it’s pics from the Riddick set or a glimpse of his toned upper body. The latest new image shows a shirtless Riddick (Diesel) looking deep in thought.
Diesel unveiled the photo on Facebook, with the following caption:
P.s. Filming Fast this summer is going to be incredible, haha… Thank you again for the opportunity to make magic.
A still from the Riddick set this year… we are in post and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it manifest. You all were such a part of it becoming a reality… willed it into being, so to speak…
Directed by David Twohy, Riddick also stars Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, and Jordi Mollà. [via SuperHeroHype]
Most of The Expendables 2 cast got character posters last month, but for whatever reason, poor Scott Adkins was left out in that round. Happily, Lionsgate has corrected now corrected its oversight with a new Adkins-centric poster that looks just like all the other stars’ posters.
Meanwhile, G.I. Joe: Retaliation has dropped one last theatrical poster featuring Dwayne Johnson, Bruce Willis, and Adrianne Palicki.
The Expendables 2 hits August 17, while G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens June 29. [via Collider, First Showing]
