Just when you thought you'd seen everything! Lucky McKee tweeted a link to this 1991 Mexican commercial for Alka-Seltzer.

Read MoreTrailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect.

Read MoreWith the amount of money Disney spent marketing TRON: Legacy over the past few years, it's no surprise that the film broke the $100 million mark this week, after twelve days at the domestic box office.

Read MoreBriefly: Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, directed by Henry Selick, wasn't a runaway hit when it originally opened.

So it is…

Go and buy it now! And then, go and watch these…
Read MoreDirector Brad Anderson is responsible for some of the best low budget thrillers of the past few years. Films like The Machinist and Session 9 have set a pretty high standard and now he's back with his most ambitious film to date. Vanishing on 7th Street played at the Toronto Film Festival this year and…
Read MoreFive days. That's how long we all believed legendary composer Hans Zimmer would be scoring Zack Snyder's Superman reboot. It was an odd piece of news considering Snyder hasn't started working on the film full time yet, but we all just assumed the sooner a composer is brought on board, the more collaborative he could…
Read MoreOne of the first pieces of online film journalism to truly legitimize the profession was Drew McWeeny's September 2002 evisceration of a J.J. Abrams script for a film eventually referred to as Superman: Flyby. McWeeny, then working for Ain't It Cool News under the name "Moriarty," ripped apart Abrams' script so completely, and in such…
Read MoreUniversal has been giving writers access to Jon Favreau as he works on post-production for Cowboys & Aliens, the better to get the word out about that movie. (We have a set report and will have some interviews this week.) In addition to talking about Universal's movie, Mr. Favreau is naturally being asked questions about…
Read MoreOne of the more appealing rumors that has been floating around for the past couple weeks is that Paul Rudd will voice Walter, the new muppet character in Disney's The Muppets. The report originated with some other shaky cast info, and has perpetuated since. Now it's one of several casting rumors to get shot down.…
Read MoreBriefly: While the big news in comic book-related TV today has to do with the finale of The Walking Dead and reported writer firings behind the scenes of the show, there's also new DC Comics TV news. The CW is developing a series featuring the DC character Raven. The empath and teleporter has been incarnated…
Read MoreThe first season of The Walking Dead ended last night (let's keep the comments spoiler-free for now, if possible) but the big news about the series came last week when there was a report that series creator Frank Darabont had fired the writing staff and planned to use freelancers to craft the second season. Now…

Read MoreThis is the sort of story that plays right into all the derision aimed at the George Lucas tendency to digitally revamp his own movies, and therefore seems like something you'd just chuckle over and shrug off as rumor-mongering. But then you see that it comes from a former Lucas collaborator: Mel Smith, who directed…
Read MoreFX has officially canceled the best show on television that you weren't watching, after only one season. Terriers had strong critical acclaim and a cult following, but mainstream audiences never found it due to a variety of reasons: a horrible title, bad marketing, and a plot which wasn't excitingly explainable in one quick sentence. The…
Read MoreLot of small sequel rumblings and rumors are flying about, so let's kick things off with one of the few bits that has a substantiated quote. Speaking to MovieMikes, Ernie Hudson says that Bill Murray is part of the holdup around Ghostbusters 3. "I know he really cares about his work," the actor says, "which…

Read MoreIt's that time of the year when there will be one film awards ceremony and/or critical poll after another, and we've got the results of three to kick off this week. The European Film Awards took place in Estonia over the weekend, and Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer scored six awards, including Best Film, Best…
Read MoreAfter more than two decades on the air, one would assume it might be difficult for The Simpsons to remain current and culturally relevant. However, while it's not as popular as it was fifteen years ago, week after week, the show remains as solid as any comedy on TV. Then, every once in a while,…

Read MoreBoxing fans know that, more than many other sports, fighting is an art. The way you punch, move and react can be such a fluid, beautiful thing that immortalizing the sport in art makes perfect sense. Saturday night in Los Angeles, that's exactly what happened as Paramount hosted The Fighter: Blood, Sweat and Art. It…
Read MoreEven before The Hurt Locker swept the late '09 / early '10 awards season, culminating with Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay wins, director Karthryn Bigelow and her co-producer and writer Mark Boal began work on another film. That picture, Triple Frontier (also briefly called Sleeping Dogs), has generated interest from major players…
Read MoreThough Dan Aykroyd recently said that casting was ongoing for Ghostbusters 3, the whole thing doesn't seem real. In fact, it's not going to seem real until he, Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and Ernie Hudson put on the jump suits, proton packs and snap a picture. Then I'll believe Ghostbusters 3 is happening. Still, anyone…
Read MoreThe defining screen take on the collapse of energy company Enron is currently the documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. But there is a UK stage version of the story, a satirical take called simply Enron, that has been optioned by producer Laura Ziskin. To the chagrin of the UK company, she has…
Read MoreThe pitch here is pretty simple: what if Dr. Seuss had created Star Wars? Thanks to characters like Yoda and Jabba the Hut, and the basic morality of the story, it actually works pretty well. Check out the work of cartoonist Adam Watson after the break. That's obviously the Seuss-style Jabba above, and a couple…
Read MoreYoutube user Weikang decided to edit a four and a half minute cut of Christopher Nolan's Inception which plays Yusuf’s dream, Arthur’s dream, Eames’ dream, and Cobb in Limbo simultaneously using split screens with adjustments for time dilation.

The film is expected to be a stand alone adventure following Jack Sparrow's quest for the Fountain of Youth. The set…
Read MoreNothing like a good Batman rumor on a Saturday afternoon. This rumor, however, is one we've been hearing for a while. In November, we ran a story speculating that Tom Hardy would be playing Dr. Hugo Strange, "a genius, mad scientist who becomes obsessed with Batman, learns his secret identity and ends up dressing up…
Read MoreBecause you demanded it, because we haven't posted about it enough, and because you know you're excited, it's time for another TRON: Legacy post! This post, however, isn't as serious as Dave's editorial on the potential box office failure, or as expensive as my write up on real life light cycles. No, this is just…

Read MoreEarlier this year, when audio recordings of Mel Gibson's rants against his girlfriend were released, one of the first casualties seemed to be Summit's film The Beaver, which Jodie Foster directed and in which she co-stars with the actor. She defended him and the film, and Summit took the movie to ground to wait out…
Read MoreTrailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m…
Read MoreBriefly: This one's going to be short because we don't have a lot of info, but Warner Bros. has picked up a pitch for an as-yet untitled musical comedy that the studio will develop as a film for Robert Downey, Jr. Brian Yorkey is writing the script and lyrics, with Tom Kitt doing the music…
Read MoreFour character posters are coming for Kevin Smith's new film Red State. Or, should I say, three more will be coming -- we've got the first now, which depicts the Virgin, played by Kerry Bishe. (Who we also just saw in a batch of new photos from the film.) Details on the origin of the…
Read MoreHere's a good little Friday treat; some of you may have already seen one (or both) of these shorts, but if not they're both worth a look. First we've got Coyote Falls, the first of three new CGI Road Runner shorts produced by Warner Bros. It ran in theaters, in 3D, this summer, but if…
Read MoreIf /Film is anything, it's a breeding ground for High School Musical fans. So we were all very understanding when Beastly, which stars HSM alum Vanessa Hudgens, was bumped from its original Summer 2010 release date to make way for Charlie St. Cloud, which stars Hudgens' boyfriend, and fellow HSM alum, Zac Efron. Inside, we…
Read MoreHow crazy is it to think that in less than two years we'll once again vote for President of the United States? Here's how crazy. There's currently a pitch going around Hollywood that would pit Zack Galifianakis against Will Ferrell as political rivals in a comedy timed for release near the 2012 Presidential Elections. Oh…
Read MoreLast month, Sony released the first teaser trailer for Jonathan Liebesman's Battle: Los Angeles. Today a new one and a half minute-long trailer has mysteriously dropped.

Read MoreMade for $30,000 and grossing over $3 million, Catfish is an amazing story, which helped turn it into one of the can't miss indie films of the year.
Read MoreKung-Fu Panda was silly fluff, but likeable enough as a child's introduction to kung-fu movies. (Assuming someone wouldn't just show their kids the safer Jackie Chan movies at some point -- maybe those come after Panda.) Taken against the Shrek and Madagascar sequels (and before How to Train Your Dragon) it made DreamWorks Animation look…
Read MoreIt's award season, and The Hollywood Reporter has begun posting their series of roundtable discussions with the contenders.

Read MoreThe other day, we discussed the fact that TRON: Legacy was tracking below expectations and that it could earn as low as $35 million during its opening weekend (in line with that, HitFix delivered a devastating review to the film this morning).

Series Co-creator/co-writer/co-producer Bob Gale is grandfathering the five-episode game series with Christopher Lloyd reprising his role as Doc Brown in the games, providing his likeness and recording a bunch…
Read MoreWe've all seen roasts on Comedy Central. The Roasts of Bob Saget, Pamela Anderson, William Shatner and David Hasselhoff come to mind as humorous events where a very famous person sits on stage and less famous, but more funny, people stand there and make awful, awful jokes about them. Most of the time though, I…
Read MoreThe news routine on The Dark Knight Rises has lately been more about what isn't in the movie than what is. For example, there was the recent ridiculous rumor about Heath Ledger's Joker returning via outtakes and CGI, which director Christopher Nolan and producer Emma Thomas quickly shot down. And now we know for sure,…
Read MoreHot off the heels of its acceptance to Sundance, the first stills from Kevin Smith's Red State have come online and they look nothing like a Kevin Smith movie. And we mean that in the best possible way. Red State, which is a thriller about "a group of misfits [who] encounter extreme fundamentalism in Middle…
Read MoreChances are it's going to be a good day when you wake up with a trailer description for the new Transformers movie in your inbox. And that's what happened today.

Read MoreAs MGM pulls out of the financial trouble that has plagued the studio for more than a year, one of the big questions is 'what about Bond?' The twenty-third James Bond film, so far called by the elegant title Bond 23, was in development with Peter Morgan scripting and Sam Mendes 'consulting' -- really planning…
Read MoreIt's been almost a year since we heard anything about Killing Bono.

Read MoreIf you were hoping to see Johnny Depp in anything but mainstream fare for the next couple years, this might be the time to store that dream away for a while. The actor is finishing Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, then will make Dark Shadows and The Lone Ranger. And after those, it…
Read MoreIt's amazing what one simple little sticker can do. The New York Daily News recently snagged a picture of a subway sign at the 14th Street Union Square Station in which someone replaced the now out-of-service "W" Train with a "9 3/4." Nine and three quarters, of course, is the train platform where witches and…
Read MoreThe idea of documenting one's life via confessional and storytelling monologues is hardly unusual in 2010, but Spalding Gray did it before almost anyone else. And he did it better; in films like Swimming to Cambodia, Monster in a Box and Gray's Anatomy his personal histories were a gateway to perceptive observations about life and…
Read MoreThe image above and one below are two new images from Terrence Malick's long-awaited The Tree of Life, the trailer for which will be running in front of prints of Black Swan starting tomorrow.

Read MoreAdd one more to the cast of McG's This Means War, in which Chris Pine and Tom Hardy go to war over the affections of Reese Witherspoon. (Angela Bassett was just cast the other day.) Mad Men's Abigail Spencer has signed on; she'll play Tom Hardy's ex-wife. Personally, I might do more fighting over her…
Read MoreSequel time: Star Trek 2 and Machete Kills couldn't be more different, but since there's a slight bit of news about the screenplay progress for each of them, why not make a little sandwich post? First up, Machete star Danny Trejo has told Bloody Disgusting that Robert Rodriguez tells him the script for Machete Kills…
Read MoreWhich of the posters above would drive you to see Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter in the well-liked historical drama The King's Speech? The one on the left is the miserable hack job that was tossed out by the Weinstein Company like an entry for a Hallmark Movie Channel parody contest on…
Read MoreOkay, this is so frigging cool. Parker Brothers Choppers in Florida have made ten working, life size Light Cycles just like the ones in TRON: Legacy. They don't leave a trail of light or anything like that, and it doesn't look like they can actually turn, but they're tangible and not on The Grid so…
Read MoreBarely a month after we got our first glimpse at the poster for Jodie Foster's The Beaver, starring Mel Gibson, word is that the film now has a release window: Spring 2011. That's fairly soon considering Gibson's name is still something of a bad word, but once Summit Entertainment - which is releasing the film…
Read MoreDerek Cianfrance's second narrative feature, Blue Valentine, was a Sundance favorite and has become a critical darling over the course of 2010. The film has also become a sort of film industry firebrand thanks to the MPAA's decision to hit it with a restrictive NC-17 rating. A passion project that took years to come together,…
Read MoreLooks like the movie revamp of The Three Stooges isn't as dead as former cast member Jim Carrey thought. After a decade of flitting from one studio to another, the film was lodged at MGM. With that company's bankruptcy clearing up, a path has led the project to Fox, which will put it into production…
Read MoreThe lion will roar once again. Earlier today we wrote about Darren Aronofsky being interested in returning to MGM's remake of RoboCop when and if the troubled studio got everything straightened out. That just happened. A Manhattan judge approved the company's re-organization plan which will allow them to file Chapter 11 bankruptcy. By doing that…

This is generally where you get many of the bigger…
Read MoreMany people sincerely hate the new layout for the Internet Movie Database. We understand. It certainly takes some getting used to. One perfect addition, however, is on their page for This is Spinal Tap. Referencing the famous quote from the film, the possible rating doesn't only go up to 10 like every other film. It…
Read MoreAlmost three years ago, MGM announced they were going to remake RoboCop. They even made a poster touting the then 2010 release and, eventually, Darren Aronofsky came on board as a director. However, MGM soon encountered some famous financial troubles and Aronofsky moved on to make Black Swan, which opens Friday. RoboCop seemed all but…
Read MoreNot long after reclusive author Thomas Pynchon published his latest novel, Inherent Vice, it was noted that the book rights were being handled by agency CAA. That seemed like a preemptive move to develop the story for film, and now we're seeing the very unlikely, but potentially wonderful results. Paul Thomas Anderson seeks to adapt…
Read MoreMichael Bay's latest work is arguably better than his last two films combined. The big time director, currently in post-production on Transformers: Dark of the Moon, took some time off to go back to his roots and direct a brand new Victoria's Secret commercial for the 2010 holiday season. The 90 second spot asks the…

Read MoreEarlier today the 2011 Sundance Film Festival competition line-up was announced, and quite a few people observed that the list of announced films did not include Kevin Smith's Red State. So does that mean that Smith's indie horror film didn't make it into the festival which launched his first film Clerks? Is that even possible?…
Read MoreI know, we just posted a second trailer for David O. Russell's The Fighter less than twenty-four hours ago. But a third one has shown up and it is quite a bit different than the other two. Not so much in the sense that there is a lot of new footage, but it is cut…
Read MoreThe list of celebrity appearances for The Muppets keeps getting longer. The film stars humans Jason Segel and Amy Adams in addition to the extensive muppet cast, and there are a great many minor appearances confirmed. (True to expectations set by previous muppet films.) I'll embed the whole list as it stands after the break,…
Read MoreNicolas Cage is doing press for his delayed film The Season of the Witch a month before it opens on January 7, presumably to avoid the holiday season crush.

Read MoreUPDATE: This may have come too soon -- re-reading the source story there's the line saying that Hans Zimmer is scoring "Nolan's new Superman chapter." So there could be an error there that should have that reading Batman rather than Superman, in which case this is a moot point. More very shortly. Original article follows.…

Read MoreDespite the presumption in many corners that Ruben Fleischer's next film after 30 Minutes Or Less (which is in post-production now)will be the sequel to Zombieland, that project isn't yet set in stone. And now Warner Bros. reportedly wants to steal the the director from Sony so he can to jump back into '40s Los…
Read MoreThe announcement of the movies playing the 2011 Sundance Film Festival is like looking into our film futures. It's December and most movie fans are looking back at the last 12 months, picking out award winners, writing top ten lists, and chances are we haven't even heard of the Sundance films. They're just titles, people,…

The company has signed a deal with new distributor FilmDistrict to stream movies in the post-DVD release window traditionally reserved for subscription cable channels. It's a deal similar to the one…
Read MoreI'm surprised that there isn't more buzz right now for David O Russell's The Fighter. Lets face it, the first movie trailer for the film wasn't exciting, and the poster is kinda "blah"-looking. I had a chance to screen the film at a sneak preview at AFI Fest (you can watch our video reaction here).…
Read MoreFocus Features has released a three and a half minute behind the scenes featurette for Sofia Coppola's new film Somewhere on IMDB (found via FirstShowing).

Read MoreThe idea that David O. Russell might direct the video game adaptation Uncharted: Drake's Fortune seemed rather odd. Sure, he's done an actionish-movie (Three Kings) and Uncharted is one of the more character-oriented action games out there. But it still seemed like a weird fit. Then news came out that the director is interested in…
Read MoreIt's a very Malick December 1, as we have detailed news on the director's new film, tentatively titled The Burial, and trailer news for his other new film -- the old new film, as it were -- The Tree of Life. JoBlo claims, via Twitter, that there will be a two-minute trailer for The Tree…
