Trust Paul Thomas Anderson to retain a sense of mystery, even as he gives up some information. The writer/director is in post-production on his new film The Master, which stars Philip Seymour Hoffman as the ultimate self-starter, a man who creates his own religion. We know that actors like Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Laura Dern are in the movie.
We also know that Mihai Malaimare Jr. (Tetro and Twixt Now and Sunrise) worked with PTA to shoot the film on 65mm. Now Anderson has offered up a photo of a scrap of that 65mm negative. Small as it may be, once the image is inverted and color-corrected, this is our first real look at Hoffman in the film. Read More »

The news that Ashton Kutcher had been cast as late tech guru Steve Jobs for the indie biopic Jobs: Get Inspired raised a few eyebrows when it was first announced, in part because it broke on April Fool’s Day. But the producers weren’t joking around, and we now have our first look at the Two and a Half Men star clad in a familiar-looking black turtleneck and 501s.

Whenever people ask me why I prefer Twitter to Facebook as my primary social media connection, I’m happy to run off a laundry list of reasons. One of the biggest ones is it gives us direct access to formerly unreachable people, be it politicians, athletes, musicians or, in today’s case, filmmakers. Where else can we directly pose a question to these people and actually get a response?
Marc Webb, the director of 500 Days of Summer and a small upcoming film called The Amazing Spider-Man, is the latest filmmaker to join the ranks of the little blue bird and he’s started things off right, with a cool new image from his July 3rd film. Check it out below. Read More »
Before a movie is released, fans want to know everything they can about the plot. When a movie is released, they enjoy the discovery of what’s actually on screen. Then, after a movie is released, they try and learn everything about its creation. Believe it or not, that’s the point we’re already at with The Avengers. Fans have begun to pour over the minutia of Joss Whedon‘s Marvel universe, looking for Easter Eggs, deleted scenes and stories from the production of the film. This will help.
Two concept artists who worked on The Avengers, Nathan Schroeder and Steve Jung, have each posted a bunch of images from the inception of the film. They reveal truly stunning looks at what would eventually be realized on screen. Check them out below. Read More »

The good news for a lot of comedy fans today is that NBC renewed Community for a fourth season. There’s a catch, however. That season is a truncated 13-episode order at this point. And while EW reports the renewal, the site says that the returns of series creator Dan Harmon and actor Chevy Chase are still to be confirmed. Presumably there would be no show without Harmon, but given recent statements by Chevy Chase, perhaps there is still reason to be concerned about his return.
Still no word on Parks & Recreation, though that could arrive later this evening. But we do have promo pics from NBC’s new shows, renewal announcements for 30 Rock and Parenthood, and word on returning stars for The Office. Also after the jump:
- Fox unveils a trailer for Fringe‘s fourth season finale
- FX is developing Heartsick, about a female serial killer
- AMC renews Comic Book Men and The Talking Dead
- HBO drops new character posters for True Blood
- VICE developing weekly newsmagazine series on HBO

We’re less than a month away from my #1 anticipated film in a great, great year of movies: Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus. The sort-of Alien prequel starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Idris Elba and Charlize Theron opens June 8 and the news of its R-rating is just the latest in a long line of fantastic updates on the 3D, sci-fi epic.
The latest comes from Entertainment Weekly, the May 18 issue of which (out Friday), will be graced by the film. While the story itself has yet to come online, they’ve updated their site with 17 new looks at the sets, costumes and stars of the highly anticipated summer film. Check them out below. Read More »
