- Go behind the scenes of Breaking Bad‘s fifth season
- The first set photo from Season 7 of AMC’s Dexter drops
- The CW’s Arrow is virtually “a lock” for pick-up

There’s nothing like a good Michel Gondry movie to warp your fragile little mind. Whether he’s wiping out memories, sweding blockbusters or walking around with giant hands, Gondry’s films always have a unique and memorable aesthetic. He’s currently in France filming The Froth on the Daydream with Audrey Tautou, based on the 1947 novel by Boris Vian, and it seems the film will be more of the same. A French site has come upon a bunch of very uniquely designed cars from the set of the film, which you can see a full gallery of after the jump. Read More »
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson was initially famous for his presence and swagger in the wrestling ring, and for his goofy but memorable tagline “can you smell what The Rock is cooking?”
As an actor the guy has taken a few steps beyond that initial image (only a few) but now Michael Bay is bringing him right back to that original question. In a new set photo from Pain and Gain, Bay’s ‘ripped from the headlines’ movie in which a couple juiceheads kidnap a local businessman, the Rock is cooking something crazy. See the full image below.

Life of Pi has taken its good sweet time journeying from the bookshelf to the box office. First published in 2001, Yann Martel‘s novel passed through the hands of M. Night Shyamalan, Alfonso Cuarón, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet before ultimately ending up with Ang Lee in 2009. A tricky adaptation process and budgetary woes helped keep the film in development hell a few years longer, but Lee struggled through and at long last, we finally have our first little peek at the new movie. Hit the jump for a still.

Oscar-winning director Tom Hooper‘s big budget, musical adaptation of Les Miserables made my top ten anticipated films of 2012 because behind all the geek stereotypes, a good musical really gets to me and Les Miserables is one of my favorites. So when I say these newly leaked set videos featuring stars Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway singing are among some of the best I’ve ever seen, it comes from a place of passion.
One of the videos looks to be the grand finale of the story, the reprise of “Do You Hear The People Sing?” performed the entire company. Another is of Jackman’s character, Jean Valjean, storming out of a church singing and a third is of Russell Crowe‘s character Javier, who is hunting Valjean, riding to set on a horse.
Okay, so the videos get less exciting as they go along but they do provide a unique glimpse at the filming of such a massive musical. Check them out after the jump. Read More »
We all have our dream movies. Movies based on things we loved earlier in life that we never thought would see the light of day. The Avengers, out in a few weeks, is a big one. 2000′s X-Men is another, and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace is probably the granddaddy of them all.
For me, one of the films on that list has to be Ender’s Game. Orson Scott Card’s book didn’t find its way into my life until my twenties but when it did, it fit in perfectly with all I’d loved before it. Science fiction, kids saving the world, epic battles, video games, all of these things are blended together in Ender’s Game to make one of the most surprising and influential stories in modern science fiction.
And now, after years of development hell, a movie is finally being made. Written and directed by Gavin Hood and starring Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley and Haliee Steinfeld, it won’t be released until November 2013 but because there are superfans like me out there, every time a new photo is released, it’s exciting. Check out the latest images, including the monitor that keeps Ender in check and his bedroom, after the jump. Read More »

So it looks like Jason Segel won’t be a part of that Muppets sequel after all — for real this time, straight from the star/producer/co-writer’s mouth. Also after the jump:
