The Weinstein Co has launched a pretty cool new website for Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Makes a Ponro at ZackAndMiriStarID.com.

The site has some of the standard options like the green band and red band trailers, but is surprisingly clickable, with all kinds of fun animations. The centerpiece is the Get Your Porn I.D. program [...]

Not content with merely serving as a loving womb for caffeinated movie bloggers, the Amazon subsidiary, IMDb, is now offering 6,000 movies and TV episodes for free steaming a la Hulu.

Sony has launched a filler page for the upcoming Green Hornet movie written by and starring Seth Rogen. The film isn’t due for another two years, but they already have a logo. Why the long lead?
