We know more about Andrew Stanton's Finding Dory, the sequel to Finding Nemo, than we did about the other Pixar projects on display at D23 today. And yet there's more to learn, and the presentation of the film today featured some big cast announcements. One thing is that, while he's in both The Good Dinosaur…

Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton had a rough year in 2012, but he's going back to calmer waters for his next film. Stanton is set to direct Finding Nemo 2 for Pixar, and last year he recruited Ellen DeGeneres to reprise her role of Dory. Now Albert Brooks has been signed as well, and so we…

One can only guess how the horribly mismatched Ben and Alison from Knocked Up are faring these days, but in just a few weeks we'll get to see how their pals Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) are dealing with being on the cusp of middle age. Universal has just dropped a new red-band trailer…

There are some huge, huge laughs in the new trailer for Judd Apatow's "sort of" sequel to Knocked Up, This Is 40. Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann return as Pete and Debbie, supporting characters in the 2007 hit, who are struggling with the reality of turning forty. The kids are now older, the relationships more complicated,…

Selling a 3D movie through 2D technology (like our computer screens) always presents a bit of a challenge, but even more so when it's a 3D converted movie of a 2D film that first came out nine years ago. After all, there's no new dialogue or footage to pick over, and little insight to be…

Who doesn't love the inexplicable, transportative moviegoing experience? I remember seeing Wim Wenders' documentary about Cuban music, Buena Vista Social Club, and floating on that one for days. I thought I was going to see a concert film, but it took me to a place I'd never been before and did it in a unique…

Every year during awards season, The Hollywood Reporter somehow organizes the schedules of basically every single actor, actress, writer and director of the year's best films to sit down and discuss them. This, in itself, is pretty spectacular. What's even better is they release the videos of the full conversations so we can watch. For…

When Judd Apatow announced his upcoming film, once tentatively titled This is Forty, we immediately wondered about the cast. That's not just a result of Apatow's fondness for a stable of comic actors that goes back to the Freaks & Geeks days, but a natural question given that the film is a spin-off from Apatow's…

I think Nicolas Winding Refn's film Drive, starring Ryan Gosling as a stuntman/getaway driver who is pulled into a difficult situation through his attraction to his next-door neighbor (Carey Mulligan), is pretty great. (Bryan Cranston, pictured above, plays a supporting role; I wanted to give him some header image attention.) I'd love to have a…

Because there is more than a slight risk of over-hyping the Nicolas Winding Refn film Drive, I've resisted posting the regular green-band trailer for the film, which dropped a week or so back, because it is almost exactly the same as the red-band version that hit during Comic Con. The trailer shows just a bit…

Nicolas Winding Refn could own 2011 and 2012. The director has been one of our faves for some time thanks to the Pusher trilogy, Bronson, and Valhalla Rising, and his action thriller Drive, with Ryan Gosling, generated great buzz at Cannes and won Mr. Refn the Best Director prize. Drive recently premiered in LA, and…

The first Cannes screening of Drive, the new film from Nicolas Winding Refn that stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston and Albert Brooks, ended not long ago. Reviews aren't up yet, but a sampling of Twitter reactions suggests the movie has one of the most positive consensus opinions of the Cannes premieres so far…

Sometimes, all it takes is two minutes of new footage from a great filmmaker to start the day off right. Here's your first look at a clip from Drive, the Nicolas Winding Refn film that stars Ryan Gosling as a stunt man / getaway driver. The clip is from very early in the movie, and…

The show now known as CinemaCon, formerly ShoWest, is in full swing in Las Vegas. The marketplace is full of first looks at a great many films we'll be seeing over the next year, and we've got images from two of them. One is among my most highly-anticipated films of the year: Drive, directed by…

Albert Brooks is one of the most respected and influential names in comedy and Judd Apatow, who got his start as a stand up comedian, is almost certainly a huge fan. That said, you can almost bet Apatow is jumping for joy that he's close to casting the comedy legend as Paul Rudd's father in…

Briefly: Quite a cast that Nicolas Winding Refn has assembled for Drive: Ryan Gosling is the disaffected stuntman by day, getaway driver by night, and Carey Mulligan is the woman whose boyfriend (Oscar Isaac) initially gets Gosling's character into the underworld. Then add Albert Brooks as the antagonist, with Christina Hendricks and Bryan Cranston on…

At least half of getting a movie right is casting. And Nicolas Winding Refn seems to really be getting Drive right so far. He's got Ryan Gosling starring, and Bryan Cranston and Carey Mulligan in supporting roles. That's three hits right there, no strikes. And now he's lined up something of a left-field choice to…

The first full-length movie trailer for The Simpsons Movie has hit the web. [quicktime width="480" height="215"]http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/trailers/thesimpsonsmovie3.mov[/quicktime] "A cast of thousands in the movie event 18 years in the making." I've been very critical in the past over this film. The teaser trailers offered very little funny. I feared that the movie was made probably 10…
