Steve Carell‘s first really big starring role came in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but he’s playing a man much more experienced in matters of the heart and body for the new Hope Springs (formerly titled Great Hope Springs). As a respected relationship therapist, he dishes advice to a couple (Meryl Streep and Tommy Lee Jones) growing bored of their decades-long marriage. Watch the new trailer after the jump.

Over the weekend a new trailer showed up for The Amazing Spider-Man. This Japanese trailer offers a few small news bit of footage, with attention paid both to the film’s action scenes and some of the character moments between Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) and supporting cast members like Sally Field and Emma Stone. It isn’t a grand departure from what we’ve seen before, but those looking for just a bit more of a look at Marc Webb‘s new film version of Spidey will find it below. Read More »
Here’s the trailer for the best sci-fi movie of the summer! Oh, wait… er, April Fools? This is actually the trailer for Len Wiseman‘s remake of Total Recall. Or one might call it the trailer for Len Wiseman’s new adaptation of the Philip K. Dick story We Can Remember it For You Wholesale, which just happens to use the same title used the last time someone made an adaptation of that story. However you want to look at it.
Regardless, Colin Farrell stars in a version of the role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger, and he is caught (maybe) between his memory and true past, as well as between Kate Beckinsale and Jessica Biel, in the sci-fi action thriller.

I guess this should really be called the Total Recall Trailer Teaser Trailer, because once again this is essentially a trailer for a trailer. But at thirty seconds, this clip features enough footage to count as a standalone teaser. The full Total Recall trailer, showing off what director Len Wiseman has done with Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, and Bryan Cranston, will be shown during the Celtics/Heat game on ABC Sunday April 1, and will then appear on Apple in extended form.
In the meantime, check out this trailer tease below, and begin your predictions about whether Wiseman’s take on the Paul Verhoeven / Arnold Schwarzenegger film will be a summer gift, or an April Fools prank. Read More »
One of the best moves all involved made with the original Men in Black film was to have Will Smith record a simple and catchy as hell theme song. It’s a lot easier to sell tickets to a movie when people can’t help themselves humming the film’s title all day long.
Smith was a driving force behind Men in Black 3, and though he hasn’t had an album on shelves since Lost and Found in 2005, we know that Smith went back into the studio last fall, and so there was reason to expect that he would crank out a theme for the third MiB movie.
That didn’t happen. Instead, the producers turned to Cuban-American rapper Pitbull, and you can hear the slight track he turned in below. Read More »
For most of the past year, the only members of the public who had any real idea what to expect from the villain in Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man were those in attendance at Sony’s panel at Comic Con last year, when the first footage of the Lizard was shown. Over the past couple months we’ve seen images of licensed products that showed a hint of the character, and the full-length trailer revealed quite a bit as well.
But the best look at the actual face of the character now comes via more merchandizing. In this case, a big poster shows us just what Marc Webb and his designers and effects team have cooked up as the post-transformation visage of the character played by Rhys Ifans. Read More »
The viral campaign for Sony and Marc Webb‘s The Amazing Spider-Man hasn’t been nearly as exciting as the one for Fox and Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, but here’s a new installment from the Spidey viral that makes a few things clear.
We’ve wondered since the film was announced where classic Spidey character J. Jonah Jameson fits in, and how his newspaper the Daily Bugle, which employed Spidey alter-ego Peter Parker in most versions of his story, will evolve to find a place in the modern world. With print publications holding a far less important public role than was once the case, the Bugle seemed anachronistic.
This clip shows that the Bugle is now a television station, and while there is no version of the Jameson character, his role of vocal Spider-Man naysayer has been picked up by Denis Leary‘s character Captain Stacy. Read More »
Rian Johnson‘s never done this before. This, meaning, promote a movie he really can’t talk about with a huge, huge studio backing it. The movie in question is Looper and, from the looks of it, Johnson has finally stepped into the big leagues after two fantastic smaller films. Looper, which will be released September 28, stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a present day assassin for the mob of the future. Time travel is real and the mob uses it to send people back in time to be murdered. It’s called being a looper and the perks are fantastic…until the person sent back to kill is the 30-year-older version of yourself played by Bruce Willis.
Johnson seems to have really outdone himself with Looper, crafting a whole new world of time-travel, action sci-fi. In our exclusive one-on-one interview, the writer/director (and frequent /Filmcast guest) talked about how he researched this concept, the contributions (or unfortunately lack there of) of Primer director Shane Caruth, when and where the film might premiere and even one question that prompted the usually candid director to ask me to turn the camera off. Check out the video below. Read More »
