Guesswork on 'Thor' Script

I love musicals and Rob Marshall's newest musical "Nine" is no different! This week a brand new trailer has appeared online premiering a new track from the film.

Hack/Slash Hires Scribe

A comic I have enjoyed for a variety of reasons is Hack/Slash. It is funny, sexy and best of all brutal.

Official 'Cotton' Image

One thing I truly enjoy is horror movies. They are escapism at it's best and today I have a film that looks to be well worth a look-see. Last week at AFM, a new image and full synopsis were revealed for a occult horror film produced by Eli Roth titled "Cotton" and boy does it ever get me anxious.

Well after doing a little digging, I came across this holiday gem that hosts a cast of actors I can really get excited about! Find out more after the jump....

Trailer: Grown Ups

Adam Sandler is one comedian I that I use to love endlessly. I waited for his comedies to release each year always knowing that I would get a ton of laughs when they finally hit cinemas. More recently my enthusiasm has faded significantly. Outside of "Funny People " he hasn't made a film I enjoyed in years. Hopefully that will change next summer when "Grown Ups" releases. Read more about "Grown Ups" and watch the first trailer after the j...

'Witch Hunters' Adds Writer

Tommy Wirkola at the very least really knows how to get fanboys excited. He is the creator and director behind this year's Dead Snow. If you are unfamiliar with Dead Snow, all I have to say is Nazi Zombies! So, have I got your attention? I thought so. Well back in May I reported about Wirkola's follow up idea, which is being produced by Paramount, Adam McKay and Will Ferrell under their Gary Sanchez Productions "Hansel and Gretel:...

Posters: The Wolfman

Two new posters for Universal's "The Wolfman" hit the net today over at Cinematical & AICN and I have them here for you below. The first new poster gives the onlooker a different viewpoint from the film focusing on Gwen Conliffe (Emily Blunt) as she hides from the Wolfman himself. I love this new poster, it is a bold statement by Universal and a snazzy looking one at that. The second poster continues the noir likeness, but focuses on the...

Trailer & Images: Love

Today I stumbled upon something that has really got me amped for Valentines Day 2010. While trolling through Apple trailers I noticed an advertisement for Angels & Airwaves "Love". I was quickly reminded that the progressive rock band's third album was titled "Love" and had been pushed from a December 2009 release into 2010. After clicking the advertisement I was treated to find that not only does Angels & Airwaves have a new album releasing...

Scripting Men in Black 3

Sony is eager to get a third Men in Black into theaters. The studio had previously hired Tropic Thunder scribe Etan Cohen to pen the next installment and news is circling that a 2010 shooting start is looming.

Find out who will join Jeff Bridges in "True Grit" after the break....

Marmaduke & Bears Updates

More of our favorite cartoons are coming to the big screen in live action/CGI hybrid films. We've seen Garfield, Alvin and the Chipmunks and Scooby Doo, but now two more will follow suit. "The Berenstain Bears" and "Marmaduke" are taking shape by their specific studios and this week news has broke on both warranting me giving my two cents. Instead of wasting a ton of time dredging out two stories, I figured it be better for all of us if I just...

Goyer Updates Ghost Rider 2

Say what you will about the first Ghost Rider flick, but I dug it! Sure it wasn't great and was a bit too campy, but nonetheless I got my money's worth. That said, I am excited for a sequel and what writer/producer David Goyer has been saying about the upcoming sequel has me pretty excited. Just what has Goyer said you ask? You're gonna have to keep reading....

Trailer & Poster: Salt

Something I am not is a fan of Angelina Jolie, to be quite frank, I hate her. I think she is a terrible actress who (like too many others) has used her sexuality to get her where she is today. She has been typecasted from the get go and I for one checked out way back in her Tomb Raider days. Despite my hatred for Jolie, the less than talented actress is starring in yet another action film with her in the lead. Checkout the brand new trailer for...
