Miss Nobody Movie Trailer By Brendon Connelly/June 8, 2009 7:39 am EST The goodly ones at Quiet Earth have found the first trailer for Miss Nobody, a black comedy that seems to be be relocating the Heathers or Jawbreaker type of murder mirth to a corporate setting. Think 9 to 5 or Office Space with bodies hidden behind the filing cabinet. The film is directed by Tim Cox, previously neither famous or even famous for his monster movies like Larva or Mammoth (if Miss Nobody flies, even a little bit, perhaps he can adopt it as his de facto debut) and stars Leslie Bibb, Missi Pyle, Patrick Fischler, Brandon Routh, Kathy Baker and Vivica A....

New Photo: Chloe Moretz As Hit Girl In Kick-Ass By Peter Sciretta/April 22, 2009 11:18 am EST This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a photo (see the previous photo after the jump) of Chloe Moretz as Mindy aka Hit Girl in Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, but it’s definitely a better look at the character in action. The new photo comes courtesy of the new issue of Empire Magazine , guest edited by Steven Spielberg....

Rumor Killer: Scream 4 Gets A Greenlight? By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 4, 2007 1:09 pm EST Update: BloodyDisgusting have confirmed this story to be false.

So… Is Back To The Future Coming To Blu-Ray This Year Or Not? By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 6, 2010 1:00 pm EST Break out the champers because the short answer appears to be yes. But why the confusion? The story starts on December 28th, when Spanish home video site Zona DVD ran an Iberian equivalent of an April Fools joke and unveiled a spoof trade ad for Blu-ray releases of the Back to the Future trilogy....

Sony Confirms Spider-Man Reboot Will Be In 3D By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 10, 2010 12:18 pm EST Sony Pictures has confirmed that the upcoming Spider-Man reboot will be distributed in 3D. The studio hasn’t revealed if the movie will be filmed using 3D cameras or be converted in post production. I assume the former, since the decision is being made during pre-production. The new movie which still remains untitled (I’m betting on “The Amazing Spider-Man”), will begin production later this year directed by (500) Days of Summer helmer Marc Webb from a screenplay by James Vanderbilt....

Teeth Gets An R-Rating, But How? By Peter Sciretta/April 11, 2007 1:04 pm EST When The Weinstein Co and Lionsgate Films picked up Teeth at the Sundance Film Festival, everyone wondered if the film would be release unrated. The dark comedy follows a girl who has teeth in her vagina, and uses her extra set to take revenge against guys that have done her wrong. Harvey Weinstein said he didn’t want to cut the movie to ensure an R rating....

Television Spots: Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 30, 2008 1:26 pm EST Warner Bros has begun to air television spots for Clint Eastwood’s Grand Torino.

The Ugly Truth Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 13, 2008 3:05 pm EST The poster for the Katherine Heigl/Gerard Butler romantic comedy The Ugly Truth is actually kinda funny.

Toy Story 3 Character Poster Roundup, And How An Unused Ending For Toy Story Ended Up In This Sequel By Russ Fischer/Oct. 12, 2009 7:26 am EST Last week, we premiered one of the character posters for Toy Story 3. I wanted to quickly round up all the others that appeared on sites around the web. (We also had the leaked TS3 trailer on Friday, and the ‘real’ version goes live today at noon, so I’ll be updating and bumping that story accordingly....

Tyler Perry’s The Family That Preys Movie Poster By Hunter Stephenson/June 30, 2008 7:49 pm EST Haha. Two Slashfilm readers have already informed me that they wouldn’t be commenting on this poster before it was even posted. Wow.

The film stars Kathy Bates and KaDee Strickland....

Watkins’ Methuselah To Grow Old Disgracefully For Warners By Brendon Connelly/March 25, 2009 7:11 pm EST Variety have the announcement of James Watkins’ next. The writer-director describes Methuselah as “an adrenalized thriller that has a bit of intelligence and resonance”. Here’s hoping – how many times have we been promised that but, then… well, we get a lot of adrenaline, I won’t question that. The title refers to the biblical character who lived for a millennium, give or take, before getting drowned in the great flood....

Clint Mansell’s Smokin Aces Scores A Release By Peter Sciretta/June 4, 2007 1:46 am EST Clint Mansell has undoubtedly created the best music score in Hollywood history. And I’m talking Requiem For a Dream. You might have not seen the movie, but you sure as hell have heard the music, which has been ripped off for commercials and many movie trailers (including one of the Lord of the Rings films if I remember correctly)....

Confirmed: Jonathan Nolan Not Credited For Terminator Salvation By Peter Sciretta/April 28, 2009 12:33 pm EST Earlier this week, we noticed that screenwriter Jonathan Nolan was not credited on the official “Written By” credits on the Terminator Salvation website. This seemed odd considering how much director McG played up the Dark Knight screenwriter’s role in the film (even referred to Jonathan as “the lead writer of the film.”) When asked at Comic Con if Nolan would receive screenwriting credit for his work, McG responded “I don’t know how the WGA rules work but honest to goodness, we did the heaviest lifting with Jonah....
