  • 'The Last Stand' Red-Band Trailer: Arnold Schwarzenegger's Quiet Weekend

    Luc Besson's EuropaCorp turns an eye to space for the film Lockout (or Lock-Out depending on where you live), in which Guy Pearce has to rescue Maggie Grace from a prison that has been taken over by the inmates.

  • First Look: Arnold Schwarzenegger On The Set Of 'The Last Stand'

    Celebrity Twitter accounts make some first-look reveals pretty easy. I'm surprised it has taken this long for Arnold Schwarzenegger to tweet out a cast photo from his new action movie The Last Stand.

    Sometime last summer, a report surfaced that Jim Carrey had been offered a part, possibly the lead, in the magician comedy Burt Wonderstone.

  • Casting Bits: Michael Williams In 'The Suspect;' Rodrigo Santoro In 'The Last Stand;' David Duchovny In 'Phantom;' James D'Arcy In 'Cloud Atlas'

    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…

  • This Week In Trailers: You Said What?, The Names Of Love, Dam 999, How To Cheat, Rio Breaks

    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: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m…

  • Jonathan Liebesman's The Killing Room Movie Trailer

    The Killing Room is part SAW (without the torture porn), part Cube (minus the sci-fi), but with a more psychological edge. The film tells the story of four volunteers who sign up for what initially appears to be a typical paid research study, only to discover that they've unwittingly become involved with a classified government…
