Summit Entertainment has released a high resolution version of the Twilight movie poster, and a new official plot synopsis for the upcoming adaptation:
TWILIGHT is an action-packed, modern-day love story between a vampire and a human. Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) has always been a little bit different, never caring about fitting in with the trendy girls [...]

I can’t say this enough, American Teen is my favorite film of 2008 so far (you can read my review from Sundance). Nanette Burstein, the Academy Award-nominated filmmaker of On The Ropes spent one year following a group of teenagers during their senior year of high school. The movie won the directing award at the [...]

“This photo is a little creepy for this item.”
A dirty old man once said, “There are friends who have, friends who haven’t and friends who lie either way,” and Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte (above) and Leslie Bibb will star as the former partakers in the comedy A Good Old Fashioned Orgy. In the battle [...]

I’m a huge fan of Donnie Darko. Richard Kelly’s debut film is not only one of my favorite films of 2001, but it’s probably somewhere on my list of favorite films of all time. So when I learned this morning that a sequel was being made, I seriously began to doubt my commitment to sparkle [...]

Looks like Twilight won’t be saving Speed Racer after all. Summit Entertainment has released the first teaser trailer for Twilight on MySpace.

Based on the bestselling book series by Stephenie Meyer, and directed by Catherine Hardwicke, Twilight tells the story of 17-year-old Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) who moves to the small town of Forks, Washington to [...]

Previously, Slashfilm lashed into Sony Pictures Classics for releasing a full-length trailer for The Wackness, a fave upcoming flick of the site, that shamefully sold the film as just another navel-ring piece of garbage starring an Olsen twin. Knowing full well who was in the movie, I still anticipated a cornrowed Bijou Phillips popping [...]

All of us wily fans of highly unlikely action premises can let out a logical sigh, as MovieHole has received the official casting breakdown for Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino: a dirty, septuagenarian Harry Callahan is no where to be found. Dirty Harry 6 is back to being a daydream, but I’m sure Eastwood had a [...]

Even our box office analysts are predicting a disappointing opening for Speed Racer. But what industry analysts don’t know is that the first teaser trailer for Catherine Hardwicke’s big screen adaptation of Twilight will be attached to the Wachowski Brothers film, this according to Collider. Twilight is, of course, the first of a series of [...]

I wonder if they’ll film it on Duke’s campus. Gasp. The last time Tom Wolfe, the dainty literary dandy, had one of his novels adapted to the big screen it proved disastrous (1987’s The Bonfire of the Vanities), but THR reports that video director (U2, Avril Lavigne) Liz Friedlander will helm I Am Charlotte Simmons, [...]

It must be really hard to cut a good movie trailer, especially for a bad movie. But it always amazes me when great films sometimes have such horrible movie trailers. I’ve now seen Jonathan Levine ’s The Wackness three times. And since January the film has held strong on the list of my favorite [...]

Some movies don’t merit word counts or brain cells. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay starring Kal Penn, Rob Corddry, John Cho, NPH on ’shrooms and a bevy of bottomless ladies is one of them. Peter asked me to inform readers that the sequel is graphed here chronologically using the site’s laff-o-meter (usually kept [...]

Photo Removed at Request from Fox
Update: /Film reader Jim S sent me the above photo of the American version of the teaser poster. So it appears it is real after all.
The photo below has begun to circulate the message boards, claiming to be the Japanese poster for 20th Century Fox’s upcoming live action big screen [...]

Judd Apatow, get out of the way. Paramount Pictures has purchased a spec screenplay by Andy Richter Controls the Universe producer/scribe Jay Dyer for JJ Abrams to produce via Bad Robot. But this isn’t the typical JJ Abrams project. And by typical, I mean to say typical of the last few years which have been [...]

 The cast for Seth Rogen’s raunchy mall cop comedy, Observe and Report, has rounded out with a supporting cast that includes the ever glowin’ Anna Farris (Smiley Face, Scary Movie), Ray Liotta, Michael Pena (Lions for Lambs) and Jesse Plemons (cult fave on TV’s Friday Night Lights). While the mall cop premise sounds a little [...]

When I met actor turned screenwriter Dan Callahan at a Los Angeles party, he described his upcoming film College as Superbad but less smart and more vulgar, a call back to the raunchy teen comedies from my youth (Porky’s…etc). The official movie trailer has finally been revealed, and can be watched below.
And yes, my first [...]
