Anna Faris Comedy What’s Your Number? May Land Andy Samberg And Zachary Quinto By Russ Fischer/March 30, 2010 5:53 am EST We’ve talked about What’s Your Number? a couple of times before, for a few reasons. There’s the script, which hit the 2008 Black List when it was called Twenty Times a Lady. There’s the director, Mark Mylod, who is returning to features after working on Entourage and The United States of Tara....

Cloverfield Television Advertisement By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 18, 2007 1:43 am EST The first television commercial for Cloverfield has begun to air. So far I have only been able to find the ad online in low quality (video camera shot). It includes a bunch of new shots and is probably worth checking out regardless of quality. Plus I’m sure it will bring back memories of watching the original teaser trailer bootlegged on YouTube....
Comic-Con: 15 Minutes Of Jennifer’s Body Screened By Russ Fischer/July 24, 2009 7:14 am EST Many more details after the jump, but (obviously, since I’m talking about the first chunk of the movie) there are some potential spoilers. I’ll keep them to a minimum. Essentially, what we see is a friendship between Jennifer (Megan Fox) and Needy (Amanda Seyfried). It reminded me of the Laura Palmer – Donna Hayward relationship from Twin Peaks....
Could Alexander Skarsgard Be Marvel’s Thor? By Peter Sciretta/March 9, 2009 11:24 pm EST First of all, the following story is speculative and circumstantial at best, and as such, should not be considered more than a rumor at this point… but we’ll bite. LatinoReview had discounted a rumor previously floating around that actor Alexander Skarsgård was in line for the role of Marvel’s Thor, but today they received a tip that Thor director Kenneth Branagh was spotted having lunch with Skarsgård and a couple unrecognizable gentleman....
First Look: Depp, Law And Farrell In The Imaginarium Of Dr. Parnassus By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 20, 2009 5:15 am EST Bored? Frustrated? Desperate for something a bit more filling than the typical bot-crunching blockbuster? If you want something to really get excited about, try The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, the next sly and subversive fantasy from Terry Gilliam. It certainly works for me. Below the break is our very first look at most of the main cast in character and costume....
Full Trailer For Ip Man 2, Biopic Of Bruce Lee’s Martial Arts Teacher By Brendon Connelly/March 29, 2010 7:17 am EST Ip Man made my list of the best films of last year (it was a long list, I admit) and I’ve been keenly anticipating the second installment since the credits tolled on the first. The appeal is largely in seeing Donnie Yen, in the title role of Ip Man, Wing Chun master and Bruce Lee’s first ever martial arts trainer, getting into some very well choreographed scuffles....

Indiana Jones Raiders Of The Lost Ark Story 1978 Conference Transcript Revealed By Peter Sciretta/March 9, 2009 11:07 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. One of my favorite parts of the book is a page which contains excerpts from the original story conference between George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan in January 1978. It’s like being in the delivery room while Indiana Jones is born....
Indiana Jones Scratch Tickets? By Peter Sciretta/April 19, 2008 11:30 pm EST “Fortune and glory, kid. Fortune and glory.” Apparently The National Lottery in the UK are selling Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull-themed instant win scratch tickets. ThrowMeTheIdol posted the scanned photo seen above. Apparently they sell tickets themed after all four films in the Indiana Jones series. Strangely, I couldn’t find any more information on the promotional tickets online....

The Dark Knight director will reteam with Batman Begins star Ken Watanabe, who will play the film’s villain, a man who is blackmailing Leonardo DiCaprio’s character. Tom Hardy, who got raves playing the title role in Bronson at Sundance, will play a member of DiCaprio’s team....

Let Me In Movie Posters By Peter Sciretta/July 13, 2009 11:26 pm EST Posters have been removed at request of Hammer Films. /Film reader Adam W sent over these concept posters for Let Me In, Matt Reeves’ remake/adaptation of Let The Right One In. From what I understand, these are promotional concepts used to sell the movie in international markets. But it gives you an idea of what Reeves might be experimenting with for the look of the film....

Michael Bay writes on his official website: “They had me in a press release saying I supported it – but Universal has a long way to go in my mind....
MPAA Rates Terminator Salvation Director’s Cut R For ‘Some Violence And Brief Nudity’ By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 26, 2009 4:18 pm EST That man McG seems to change his story an awful lot. I can’t even unravel all of the threads of argument about the rating for Terminator Salvation (something… about… pizza?) but I do recall that, at various times, it was either fully intentional or fully unintentional that Moon Bloodgood’s infamous breast-baring not be part of the final cut....
