First Behind The Scenes Look At Dinner For Shmucks With Paul Rudd And Steve Carell By Devindra Hardawar/Dec. 17, 2009 2:10 am EST For some reason, we haven’t heard much about the upcoming Dinner for Shmucks starring Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, so this bit of news comes as a pleasant surprise. The film is a remake of the French comedy Le dîner de cons (which has a not-so-nice title when translated), and will be directed by Jay Roach (Austin Powers, Meet the Parents)....

Forgetting Sarah Marshall Movie Posters By Hunter Stephenson/March 7, 2008 12:40 pm EST Judging by the teaser image above, I can’t blame you for mistaking it for The Smurfs Movie, but it’s really the final poster for the Judd Apatow-produced rom-com Forgetting Sarah Marshall. The poster tags the movie as “The Ultimate Romantic Disaster Movie” and the design has a lite, slacker-esque feel that is somehow appealing to both sexes. Star Jason Segel, playing a dude who goes to Hawaii to drown his breakup sorrows only to encounter his TV star ex, gets the man-child misery just right....

Jackie Chan And Chris Tucker To Re-Team For New Movie. They’re So Excited. By Hunter Stephenson/April 14, 2008 12:57 pm EST Jackie Chan: Chris, my man, let’s make new movie.

Chris: Jackie, you so crazy. I love it. Jackie: I love you too Chris....

Michael Cera Has No Interest In Ghostbusters 3, Jack Black Would Bust Ghosts If He Could By Peter Sciretta/June 17, 2009 2:00 am EST Even before a third Ghostbusters film was officially announced, I heard rumors that Year One/The Office scribes Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky were working on a script and that they were writing a role for Year One star Michael Cera. While the details of Eisenberg and Stupnitsky’s role in the project turned out to be true, and quickly spread around the world, nothing has ever been said about Cera’s possible involvement....

Mission: Impossible 4? By Peter Sciretta/April 30, 2008 2:18 am EST Coming off the box office blunder Lions for Lambs, and looking towards a potential disaster with Valkyrie, Tom Cruise needs another big hit, and he needs it soon. Everyone in Hollywood pretty much assumes that Cruise will push another Mission: Impossible film into production before the release of Bryan Singer’s historical thriller early next year. Now an insider pretty much confirms our suspicions, telling Life & Style Magazine, “Tom will make M:I 4 once Paramount greenlights the script....

Netflix To Charge More For Blu-Ray; New Set-Top Box Hardware This Year By Peter Sciretta/April 22, 2008 12:06 pm EST Netflix plans on charging a premium on accounts that rent Blu-ray movies because, well, the discs cost more. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings reasoned on a conference call that “consumers are used to paying more for high-definition.” Netflix had been offering both HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs to subscribers for no additional charge until Netflix stopped carrying HD DVDs in February....

New 3D Indiana Jones 4 Banner By Peter Sciretta/April 5, 2008 9:18 am EST The other night while I was at the AMC Theater at the Metreon in San Francisco, I saw a new Banner hanging for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Aside from it’s massive size, what was really unique about this banner was that Indiana Jones was actually swinging off the banner away from the natives chasing behind him....

Credit for the above photo goes to Vic from ScreenRant, who is typing like a madman on my left. I’m using his photo because I’m too lazy/tired to take my own....

New RED Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End Posters By Peter Sciretta/March 20, 2007 5:42 am EST Please don’t be mad at us, as it wasn’t our idea to launch the gigantic one day push for Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End. So here we are again with yet another post, with more Piratey-goodness. This time we have a set of five new posters we have titled pirates(red). Check them out below....

New Transformers IMAX Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 13, 2007 12:39 pm EST Paramount has provided us with this new Optimus Prime Transformers IMAX movie poster. I’m not sure I dig the grey and white gradient background, but that seems to be all the rage these days online. Yesterday we reported that the running time for the IMAX version is five minutes longer than the theatrical release. Check out the new poster after the jump, and the old IMAX poster at this link....

No “Porno” In New Zack And Miri TV Spots By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 19, 2008 3:18 pm EST Remember how we told you that some markets refused to run advertisements for Kevin Smith’s new R-Rated comedy Zack and Miri Make a Porno due to the word “porno” being in the title? Well it appears that The Weinstein Co has altered the movie’s title for some television spots in certain markets. Check out the television advertisement after the jump....

Ridley Scott’s Alien Prequel Will Be Shot In 3D By Peter Sciretta/March 4, 2010 6:51 pm EST Christian, who ran into Ridley at a recent film festival, hopes to work on the film, and breifly experessed his excitement for the project: Previously: “Ridley told me some of his ideas when we were here in Toronto. He has a very clear understanding of where this should go. They kind of stopped dead one of the greatest horror franchises there’s ever been, and it had legs to go on....

Schwarzenegger Approves Virtual Version Of Himself For Terminator Salvation By Brendon Connelly/April 23, 2009 2:00 am EST Due to what seems to be incredibly heavy traffic, I haven’t been able to access the official website of the Governor of California (?!?) to see it for myself but Arnold Schwarzenegger has reportedly addressed the ins-and-outs of his role in McG’s Terminator Salvation in a new webcast. His “maybe” left people even more confused… but thankfully, Variety have stepped in to reveal exactly what we can expect....

Southland Tales: Mandy Moore And New Production Photos By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 7, 2007 9:55 am EST Someone sent us some new photos from Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales. But first some news for Mandy Moore fans: A month ago Mandy Moore made a comment, wondering if she still appeared in the movie, after director Richard Kelly announced that the film had undergone major reedits: “I play The Rock’s wife in the movie, if I’m still in the movie at all,” Moore told Sci-Fi....

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen Teaser Trailer By David Chen/Feb. 16, 2009 12:14 pm EST For those who of you who thought that the Superbowl footage just wasn’t enough to whet your appetite for transforming robots, the full-length Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen teaser footage is now available online for your viewing enjoyment. Clocking in at 2+ minutes, this is probably one of the most deliberately paced teaser trailers for any Michael Bay movie ever (and for that reason alone it earns points in my book!...

World War Z Concept Art By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 28, 2009 11:54 am EST I have always loved concept art. Probably because it represents the absolute coolest a second of time could possibly look like. Everything after the concept art is a big compromise. It will never look that good. Even no so great films have cool concept art. I could look at the concept art for the Star Wars prequels all day long....
