Kanye West Scores “Remixed” Trailer For ‘The Canyons’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 2, 2013 2:20 pm EST We’ve wondered about the Paul Schrader and Bret Easton Ellis film The Canyons for months, after watching the casting, the spectacle of the production dealing with Lindsay Lohan, the festival rejection, and all those slapdash early trailers. The film is out now, and reviews, well, aren’t great. But the folks at IFC have come up with a great marketing angle: get one of the most popular and/or controversial artists of the day to put hands on a new trailer....

Sporting a solid cast, an original story and good word of mouth, the underdog film made over $115 million domestic and almost $300 million worldwide.

Michel Hazanavicius Will Direct ‘Will’ Starring Zach Galifianakis And Paul Rudd By Germain Lussier/May 15, 2014 1:30 pm EST For a movie with such an impressive list of names attached, it’s insane that Will has not been made yet. The script was written by comedian Demetri Martin and landed on the 2007 Black List. Three years later, Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis were attached to star. The former would play the title character, a man on Earth, and the latter would play the lead, a guardian angel whose job it is to write the man’s life from above....

Nintendo Considering Interactive ‘Legend Of Zelda’ Movie By Russ Fischer/Oct. 17, 2013 3:30 pm EST Nintendo’s Zelda game series seems tailor-made for a film adaptation, but after the notiorious failure of the Super Mario Bros. movie the company is understandably gun-shy when it comes to bringing games to the big screen. Nonetheless, Zelda film ideas have come and gone. The studio Imagi tried out for one years ago (see their pitch reel here) and there have been other conversations....

VOTD: Bryan Cranston And Aaron Paul Prepare To Read The ‘Breaking Bad’ Finale By Angie Han/Sept. 30, 2013 12:30 pm EST A recently uploaded video shows stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul preparing to read the “Felina” script over a couple of beers at Cranston’s place. “I’m so unbelievably depressed that this is happening right now!” Paul wails at one point. Check out the video after the jump. I think it’s adorable that Cranston feels the need to introduce himself — “He’s Aaron, I’m Bryan” — like anyone watching this video doesn’t already know exactly who they are....

And what a noisy, colorful return it may be. The gangster pic stars Law as a safecracker who’s just spent twelve years in prison for keeping his mouth shut.

You know, just in case you care about ancillary stuff like story. Check it out after the break.

‘Magic Mike’ UK Trailer - Less Furniture Building, More Beefcake By Angie Han/May 18, 2012 11:00 am EST Now this is what I’m talking about. Whereas the first U.S. trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s male stripper flick Magic Mike took pains to frame Mike (Channing Tatum) as just a sensitive furniture maker searching for something more than the seedy life of an exotic dancer, the new U.K. trailer plays up the sheer entertainment value of watching these guys get down and dirty....

Even better, it has Clive Owen starring as a pioneering surgeon in New York’s Knickerbocker Hospital at the turn of the century.
