• '300: Rise Of An Empire' Trailer: The Ecstasy Of Steel And Flesh

    Early in the latest trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire, Eva Green's Artemisia hisses something about "the ecstasy of steel, flesh, sweat and muscle, rage... war." The context of the line isn't quite clear, but from here it seems to work just fine as a mission statement for the film as a whole. Like…

  • 'Rio 2' Trailer: To Grandfather's House We Go

    2011's Rio was entirely founded on the premise that Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) were the only blue macaws left in the entire world. The whole reason Blu left his comfy Minnesota home was to meet and mate with Jewel, lest their species die out altogether. But maybe Tulio (Rodrigo Santoro) isn't such…

  • '300: Rise Of An Empire' Trailer

    Here's the new trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire, the follow-up to Zack Snyder's breakout hit 300. This one has been a long time coming, but now, after everything, the film and the new trailer might have new significance, again thanks to Snyder.

  • 'Rio 2' Trailer: Meet The Parents

    The first Rio saw Blu, the Jesse Eisenberg-iest tropical parrot of all time, thrown completely out of his element when he was moved from Moose Lake, Minnesota to the colorful streets of Rio de Janeiro. He eventually managed to acclimate to his new surroundings (um, spoiler alert, I guess), but the second will see him…

  • '300: Rise Of An Empire' International Trailer: One Minute Of Action

    Studios have been experimenting with trailer lengths of late; we've seen long three-minute trailers and we're seeing short one-minute looks at new films, too. This latest international trailer for 300: Rise of an Empire is a one-minute blast of stylized action peppered with very serious proclamations of doom. It barely bothers to set out any…

  • Sequel Bits: 'Skyfall' Set Photo Shows James Bond's Beloved Aston Martin, Plus: 'Human Centipede 3', '300 2', 'Avengers 2', 'Green Hornet 2' (Or Not)

    Disgusting as the Human Centipede franchise is, I've gotta hand it to director Tom Six. Most sequels try to go bigger and better, but few try to go 50 times bigger. After the jump: Tom Six says Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) will feature a 500-person chain Rodrigo Santoro talks 300 2, or whatever they end up…

  • 'What To Expect When You're Expecting' Trailer #2 - "No Judging," Insist The Dudes

    It's not surprising that most of the marketing materials so far for What to Expect When You're Expecting have focused primarily on the women. It's inspired by a world-famous pregnancy manual, after all, and (Arnold Schwarzenegger in Junior notwithstanding) men don't often get pregnant. But with a comedically gifted male cast that includes Chris Rock,…

  • 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. And I'll say this: in this pic at least, he looks the part of an aged lawman who has retreated to a…

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

    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…
