‘NO’ Trailer: Using Commercial Tricks To Enact Political Change By Russ Fischer/Dec. 18, 2012 12:30 pm EST The film NO made waves at Cannes back in May, and the trailer has just arrived late in the year to become one of my fave trailers of the season. The film features Gael Garcia Bernal as an ad executive who comes up with a televised ad campaign to unseat Chilean leader General Augusto Pinochet in a vote that took place in 1988....
‘R.I.P.D.’ Trailer: Here Come The (Dead) Men In Black By Russ Fischer/April 17, 2013 3:44 pm EST Perhaps there’s a minor demographic out there that was desperate to see Jeff Bridges parody his True Grit role in a Men in Black knockoff. That would be one easy way to explain R.I.P.D., in which Bridges plays a dead lawman who, with the help of another dead lawman (Ryan Reynolds) fights evil from the afterlife....

Bradley Cooper Replaces Jude Law In ‘Jane Got A Gun’ By Angie Han/April 8, 2013 6:00 am EST The all-star lineup for Jane Got a Gun is changing again, hopefully for the last time. Bradley Cooper has just joined the Gavin O’Connor-directed Western in the villain role vacated last month by Jude Law — who was himself a replacement for Joel Edgerton, who switched characters when Michael Fassbender departed. The troubled Western has seen some serious shakeups over the past few weeks, most famously when original director Lynne Ramsay quit by simply not showing up on the first day of production....

Here Are Potential ‘Ant-Man’ Cameos Linking It To The Marvel Cinematic Universe By Germain Lussier/Aug. 14, 2014 3:00 pm EST After years of anticipation and months of controversy, Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man starts filming on Monday, August 18. Then it’ll be a race to the finish as the director will have less than a year to complete the film, which is set for release July 17, 2015. That doesn’t leave a lot of time for improvisation, but in between Edgar Wright leaving the project and the start of shooting, a lot of work has been done to change the film and also add more connections to the Marvel Cinematic Universe....

J.K. Rowling’s ‘The Casual Vacancy’ To Become HBO Miniseries By Germain Lussier/April 23, 2014 11:45 am EST J.K. Rowling and Time Warner have a pretty good relationship. Together, they helped make one of the most successful and impressively coherent film franchises in history with Harry Potter.

LOL: The Time In 2003 When A Movie Studio Head Said Superhero Movies Were A Fad By Germain Lussier/June 17, 2014 6:00 am EST There are almost two dozen superhero movies scheduled in the next four years. Not all of them will happen, but even that tentative schedule shows Hollywood’s massive continued commitment to the genre that continually brings in hundreds of millions of dollars for studios like Disney, Sony and 20th Century Fox....
LOL: Theater Shows ‘Rise Of The Guardians’ Instead Of ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ By Angie Han/Aug. 1, 2014 1:30 pm EST As Big Two superheroes go, the Guardians of the Galaxy are a pretty obscure bunch. So much so, even the trailers for the movie poke fun at that fact. Still, you’d think they’d be pretty well known now, what with a $100+ million budget and the power of the Marvel Studios marketing machine to back them up....
Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 Sequel In 2009 By Peter Sciretta/May 13, 2008 11:35 am EST Paramount Vantage and Overture Films have announced that they are co-financing and co-producing a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 with documentary filmmaker Michael Moore.

Page 2: Star Wars, GoT, Alien, Simpsons, Apes, Raging Bull, HttyD, Godzilla, Doctor Who, BTTF By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 8, 2014 4:00 pm EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 36 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....
POTD: ‘Deadpool’ Test Footage Behind The Scenes By Russ Fischer/Aug. 1, 2014 11:15 am EST We haven’t posted the footage because it still hasn’t been officially released. I’m sure you saw it anyway (that’s a screenshot, above), and now you can see Ryan Reynolds on set, in “costume” in a Deadpool test behind the scenes shot. The image comes from co-writer Rhett Reese on Twitter: Behind the scenes at the #Deadpool test....
Remember, Remember The Fifth Of November: The Day Time Travel Was Invented By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 5, 2011 10:00 am EST The Fifth of November is important for a variety of reasons… but most importantly because it was the day that time Travel was invented.Doc Brown: Here’s a red-letter date in the history of science, November 5, 1955. Yes, of course, November 5, 1955.Marty McFly: What, I don’t get what happened.Doc: That was the day I invented time travel....
Rumor: Tera Patrick In Quentin Tarantino’s Faster Pussycat Kill Kill By Hunter Stephenson/June 30, 2008 4:38 pm EST Thar she blows. Not Tera Patrick, the NY Post’s equally shameless Page Six, which reports that the porn starlet is in talks with Quentin Tarantino for his remake of Faster, Pussycat, Kill! Kill! Back in January, you may remember that the Post’s Liz Smith reliably dished that Britney Spears, Eva Mendes and Kim Kardashian were all set to star in this forthcoming project, one that seemingly exists inside a dingleberry-shaped galaxy owned by Rupert Murdoch....
Science Has Determined The Saddest Movie Of All Time By Germain Lussier/July 27, 2011 4:30 pm EST In 1995, two scientists published a report listing sixteen short film clips most likely to elicit specific emotions. There are clips for everything from amusement and anger to surprise and sadness. Scientists show these clips when they want a subject to feel a specific way in a controlled environment. And while it’s hard to crown the most “angry” movie of all time or most “surprising,” tears make sadness a bit more quantifiable....

The line-up is already incredibly impressive, as it includes world premieres of Ashton Kutcher in jOBS, the new Shane Carruth film Upstream Color, Richard Linklater’s Before Midnight; and the horror sequel S-VHS just for starters....
Sundance Fave ‘Fruitvale’ Sets Summer Release By Angie Han/April 3, 2013 5:30 pm EST Briefly: Every year at the Sundance Film Festival, there are a few films that come out of seemingly nowhere to blow everyone away. This year, one of the favorites was Fruitvale, from first-time feature director Ryan Coogler. The fact-based drama starred Michael B. Jordan (Friday Night Lights, The Wire) as Oscar Grant, a young Oakland man tragically killed by BART police officers on New Year’s Day 2009....
