New Iron Man Photo By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 21, 2007 9:27 pm EST Our friends at Screenrant have a new full body photo of Iron Man. It’s very similar to one of the previously released promotional images, but in a different pose. Check it out after the jump.

New Photos: Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 9, 2007 11:16 pm EST Newsweek has an early look at Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, and we have some of the photos. In the fifth film/book, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) must defend himself and Hogwarts, from the fear-mongering restrictions of the wizarding government, and the newly-assigned Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Dolores Umbridge....
No Reservations Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/March 22, 2007 1:24 pm EST No Reservations looks like the by the book dramatic crisis romantic comedy, complete with a cute little kid (who you might reccognize as Abigail Breslin from Little Miss Sunshine). And because you’re just dying to see it, we have the movie trailer. A remake of the 2001 German film Mostly Martha, by Shine and Hearts in Atlantis director Scott Hicks....
Prince Caspian Headed To Disappointing $51M Opening; Narnia Sequels In Question? By Peter Sciretta/May 17, 2008 1:20 am EST The early Friday night box office estimates are in, and Disney’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian failed to match the opening of 2005’s The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe. Caspian took in $18M on Friday, and is looking at a $51 million weekend, almost 25% less than the previous film in the series....
Robert Zemeckis To Mo-Cap The Beatles Into A New Yellow Submarine By Russ Fischer/Aug. 19, 2009 6:39 pm EST Variety is reporting some unexpected news: Robert Zemeckis is brokering a deal with Disney and Apple Corp. to remake Yellow Submarine with 3D motion capture technology. My initial reaction to the idea is knee-jerk and negative, and then I remember that Zemeckis has already made one Beatles film (I Wanna Hold Your Hand, 1978), so if anyone is going to make this work it could be him....
SAW 4 Teaser: Jigsaw’s Autopsy By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 12, 2007 11:20 pm EST Lionsgate has released a new teaser trailer for SAW 4 which features a VERY gory autopsy of Jigsaw. I’m still not really looking forward to this one, but I must admit that the autopsy reveal is a pretty clever way to open up the story. Watch the teaser after the jump. [flv:http://media2.slashfilm.com/slashfilm/trailers/saw4teaser2.flv 320 260] SAW IV hits theaters on October 26th 2007....
See Dan Fogler’s Best Sam Kinison By Brendon Connelly/April 1, 2009 4:32 pm EST The upcoming Sam Kinison biopic Brother Sam has been written by American Splendor’s Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, and stars Dan Fogler in the lead role. Judging from Fogler’s turns in Balls of Fury, Good Luck Chuck and School for Scoundrels, that’s a two steps forward, one step backward scenario by my reckoning. Factor in that Ace Venura and Patch Adams perpetrator Tom Shadyac is directing, and we’re back at square one....
Sequel To Aliens Vs. Predator Requiem Going Ahead? By Hunter Stephenson/March 10, 2008 10:15 am EST While some of the thrill is gone after two outings, especially amongst the non-geek mainstream, an injection of class and a detachment from the prior two films could still make considerable bank. I doubt they could get Ridley Scott at this point, but that’s the type of talent they should aim for. And this isn’t about AVP so much as rebooting the Aliens and Predator franchises, neither of which are particularly strong go-to’s right now....
The Joker On Empire Magazine By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 27, 2007 11:48 am EST The January issue of Empire Magazine features an exclusive photo of Heath Ledger as The Joker from the Batman Begins sequel, The Dark Knight. I’m still quite impressed by the facial makeup, but the outfit seems more like movie wardrobe, and less like this guy’s normal dress attire. Don’t get me wrong, it’s far from the cartoonish look of the previous incarnations....
The Road’s Kodi Smit-McPhee May Let The Right One In By Russ Fischer/July 12, 2009 1:19 pm EST Moviehole reports than in a pull-out section of the Melbourne, Australia paper The Herald-Sun young actor Kodi Smit-McPhee (seen alongside Eric Bana in Romulus, My Father and co-star of The Road) mentioned that he was up for one of the two lead roles in the American remake of Let the Right One In....
The Runaways Teaser Trailer By Russ Fischer/Dec. 17, 2009 9:29 am EST Hot on the heels of new distributor Apparition announcing that it will bring The Runaways to theatres comes a teaser trailer for the film. We get a little taste of Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning in character as Joan Jett and Cherie Currie, and hear Michael Shannon doing some voice over as impresario Kim Fowley. It’s decent-looking stuff, and backed by the band’s catchy hit ‘Cherry Bomb’....
Tron Legacy Billboard #3 By Peter Sciretta/March 10, 2010 2:00 pm EST Walt Disney Pictures bought the billboard located at Santa Monica/Westwood in Los Angeles for an entire year. Beginning in mid-December, the studio has been updating the location with new Tron Legacy advertisements,at the rate of one every month and a half. And it was revealed they will keep doing so up until the release of the film in December 2010....
VOTD: Han Solo P.I. By Peter Sciretta/June 4, 2009 11:24 pm EST In April we featured a mash-up of Star Wars and MacGyver, and now someone has created a Star Wars mash-up using Magnum P.I. No more explanation is needed. Who wouldn’t watch Han Solo P.I.? VOTD: Han Solo P.I. By Peter Sciretta/June 4, 2009 11:24 pm EST In April we featured a mash-up of Star Wars and MacGyver, and now someone has created a Star Wars mash-up using Magnum P....
VOTD: Roger Ebert Speaks By Russ Fischer/March 2, 2010 1:57 pm EST Roger Ebert has seemingly been everywhere lately. Esquire’s profile on America’s most visible film critic lovingly detailed his life after a battle with cancer that cost Ebert his ability to eat, drink and speak. His written output has become voluminous; Ebert is becoming a major voice not just in film culture, but across many lines of American experience....

William Monahan To Make Directorial Debut With London Boulevard, Farrell And Knightley To Star By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 23, 2009 9:54 am EST Poor chap. Despite also having written Kingdom of Heaven and Body of Lies, not to mention the upcoming big-screen fit up of Edge of Darkness, he is always referred to as William ‘The Departed’ Monahan. I don’t quite get it because, well, it strikes me that Kingdom of Heaven and Body of Lies are the better films....
3D Movies To Have Higher Ticket Prices? By Peter Sciretta/March 21, 2007 1:04 pm EST I’ve been a supporter of the 3D movie format. I believe that for some movies, it transends gimmick and becomes an incredible movie experience. But am I willing to pay more money for the experience? Probably. And the movie studios know there are others like me out there. “Theater owners are excited by this technology, because it not only provides a more special movie-going experience but also a meaningful growth opportunity, as research suggests more people come to see 3D movies and ticket pricing has more flexibility,” DreamWorks/Paramount distribution executive Jim Tharp commented in an interview with Omeon....
A.D. Teaser Trailer: Animated Zombies Want To Eat You By Russ Fischer/Feb. 4, 2010 1:03 pm EST Given the fact that zombies evidently can’t be stopped as the subject of live-action films, I’m fairly surprised that we haven’t yet seen much in the way of animated walking dead. That might change if the film A.D. is given a chance to get off the ground. Here we have a teaser trailer that also seems to be acting as a fundraising effort....
AICN Reviews Cloverfield By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 10, 2008 6:05 pm EST Harry Knowles of AICN has seen Cloverfield, and has posted a raving review. Here are a couple snippets: “CLOVERFIELD is a bold genre-reinvention unlike anything we’ve ever seen before.” “The movie is f**king brilliant. It’s what we were told it was going to be. An intimate perspective on an impossibly grand scale human disaster beyond most human levels of comprehension....
Casting Notes: Rachel Weisz In Dream House; Cate Blanchett In Hanna; Katherine Heigl In One For The Money By Russ Fischer/Feb. 9, 2010 1:06 pm EST The cast for Jim Sheridan’s new film Dream House has shaped up to be pretty impressive. We’ve had Daniel Craig and Naomi Watts so far; now Rachel Weisz has entered the fray. She’ll play Craig’s wife. He’s “a successful publisher who quits his Gotham job and relocates his wife and two daughters to a quaint New England town, only to discover that their perfect new home was the murder scene of a mother and her two children....
