Trailers 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: What better way to hone your skills as a thoughtful moviegoer than by deconstructing these little pieces of advertising? This week…

For years, Marvel Studios and Marvel TV have been touting the phrase "It's All Connected," but rarely have they lived up to that promise. Apart from a few references to "the event" in the Netflix shows like Jessica Jones or Daredevil, or cameo appearances from B-characters in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the TV universe have…

Anvil! director Sacha Gervasi has roped in quite a cast for Hitchcock, a film which dramatizes the book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho in high style. Previous trailers have shown us Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren as Hitch and his wife Alma, and Scarlett Johanssen as Psycho's first-act star, Janet Leigh. Now, a…

With six stories spanning nearly three hours, told by an ensemble cast and three directors, the sheer amount of information presented by and discussions one can have about Cloud Atlas is staggering. Co-writers and directors Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachowski took David Mitchell's novel, which nests six stories within each other, and broke it down…

We've seen a good bit of footage for one of the Alfred Hitchcock movies that are in post-production right now: The Girl, which will air on HBO with Toby Jones playing Hitch during the making of The Birds. The other film is Hitchcock, from Anvil! director Sacha Gervasi, and it features Anthony Hopkins as the…

The same breathtaking ambition that makes Andy Wachowski, Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer's David Mitchell adaptation Cloud Atlas so intriguing also gives it the potential to flop, hard. Weaving together six interlocking stories that cut across time, space, and genre is difficult enough to do within the confines of a novel, to say nothing of…

Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, that other Alfred Hitchcock sorta-biopic that doesn't star Toby Jones as the rotund Master of Suspense, is pulling its cast together quickly now. Anthony Hopkins has been attached to play Hitch for some time, with Scarlett Johansson set to play Janet Leigh and James D'Arcy set for the…

While it remains to be seen whether Anthony Hopkins in Sacha Gervasi's Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho does any better at capturing the Hitchcock resemblance than Toby Jones does in Julian Jarrold's The Girl, what's clear is that the former will be surrounded by quite a high profile cast. Jessica Biel has just beat out several other…

Say the name "Alfred Hitchcock" to people and the first thing they think of is Psycho. Everything about the 1960 thriller has become iconic: the actors, the shots, the plot twists. More than any of the director's other films, it's the most often referenced and talked about. Which is why Fox Searchlight is moving ahead…

Madonna's first directorial effort -- 2008's Filth and Wisdom -- wasn't exactly well received, but you don't get to be a pop icon of her magnitude without thick skin and a lot of persistence. The multihyphenate returned to the director's chair this year for W.E., a drama consisting of two interlocking tales: one, the very well-known…

The Wire's Michael K. Williams (who, like John Goodman, just guest-appeared on Community) was in the running for the title role in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, and though he lost the part to Jamie Foxx, he may still end up in the film, in a part written just for him. Hopefully another new job won't…

After a bit of delay in finding a distributor, Madonna's second directorial effort W.E. has a home at The Weinstein Company. Moreover, the Weinsteins plan to release the picture sometime in 2011 -- a last-minute calendar addition that could mean one of two things. Either the movie has actual awards potential, or The Weinstein Company…

Before Daniel Day-Lewis gets his chance to don the beard and top hat, 20th Century Fox will have Honest Abe wielding axes and decapitating vampires. In October, the studio bought the rights to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter with a script by Seth Grahame-Smith, based on his novel, to be directed in 3D by Timur Bekmambetov…

Joseph Fiennes and Eva Green will travel back to Camelot, the Starz series that re-tells the story of King Arthur. Fiennes is Merlin, while Green will be Morgana. Solid casting with both, though I'm not certain that I'll ever be able to look at an Arthurian film or TV series without having to leap the…
