Jeff Bridges Update: New ‘True Grit’ Photo; Won’t Appear In ‘Great Hope Springs’ By Russ Fischer/July 9, 2010 12:35 pm EST NO PHOTO I don’t think there’s any argument that Jeff Bridges is great enough to warrant his own little update once in a while. So here you go: a new on-set photo from the Coen Brothers version of True Grit, for one. Sadly, the other update negates a previous bit of casting supposition, as it looks like Bridges won’t play alongside Meryl Streep in Great Hope Springs....

Matthew McConaughey Joins Gus Van Sant’s ‘Sea Of Trees’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 5, 2014 5:30 am EST Briefly: The past couple years have seen Matthew McCaonaughey evolve into a barometer of quality — in short, if the guy’s in a movie (or TV show) you should probably see it. His True Detective is owning HBO right now, and he’ll appear in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar later this year. Now McConaughey is part of another new project: Gus Van Sant’s new film Sea of Trees....

Peyton Reed To Direct Jim Carrey In Yes Man By Peter Sciretta/July 13, 2007 2:16 am EST Yesterday we reported that Jim Carrey had signed on to star in Yes Man. Some people were excited since it will be Carrey’s return to high concept comedy. We weren’t too interested, but that has changed – Peyton Reed has signed on to direct the film according to The Hollywood Reporter. Peyton created one of our favorite modern “guilty pleasures”, Bring It On....

See The First ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ Teaser; Premiere Date Announced By Angie Han/Aug. 21, 2014 8:30 am EST Because American Horror Story essentially reboots itself each year, we never know quite what we’re going to get with a new season. But at least now we know when we’re going to get it. The network has announced a fall premiere date for the fourth season of the horror anthology series, titled American Horror Story: Freak Show....

The ‘Django Unchained’ Theatrical Poster Has Been Revealed By Germain Lussier/Nov. 12, 2012 10:15 am EST Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained has seen its fair share of posters: character posters, international posters, teaser posters and now we’ve reached the climax. The final theatrical one-sheet has now been revealed and it’s pretty standard. Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio and Christoph Waltz looking mean, lots of blood and the tagline: “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Vengeance....

Transformers 2: Weapon Modes Confirmed, Arcee Details, Possible Trailer Dates And More By Peter Sciretta/June 17, 2008 6:48 pm EST A description of a Transformers 2 video game leaked onto the web yesterday: The key line is “A new transformation system gives you more detailed control as you can switch between Robot, Weapon, and Vehicle modes” Recently screenwriter Roberto Orci revealed that there will be Transformers that transform into weapons in the sequel....

VOTD: Gen Ip’s Year-End Retrospective ‘Filmography 2013’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 11, 2013 2:00 pm EST We see a lot of year-end movie mashups, but for a couple years running some of the best have been from LA-based editor Gen Ip, who we talked to back in 2010. For Filmography 2013, she’s put together a seven-minute edit of scenes from 2013 films, organized around a core group of themes. Plenty of other people have done similar projects, but this one is a bit more gentle than some....

Watch Ben Affleck’s “Atrocious” Directorial Debut ‘I Killed My Lesbian Wife, Hung Her On A Meat Hook, And Now I Have A Three-Picture Deal At Disney’ By Angie Han/Feb. 20, 2013 7:00 am EST Over the past few months, Ben Affleck seen his Argo pick up the PGA, DGA, WGA, SAG, BAFTA, Golden Globe, and virtually every other statue in sight. Now it’s considered the heavy favorite to nab Best Picture at Sunday night’s Oscars, which would make it Affleck’s first win since his 1998 Original Screenplay Award for Good Will Hunting....

‘Cinema Verite’ Trailer #3 By Angie Han/April 11, 2011 7:00 am EST These days, reality television may be considered by some to be a blight on our cultural landscape, but there was a time when it offered a more honest counterpoint to the idealized families being portrayed on American sitcoms. Back in the early ’70s, filmmaker Craig Gilbert conceived of a documentary series about a California household as a response to shows like The Brady Bunch....

/Film Gets Redesigned By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 13, 2007 10:46 pm EST What’s going on? What happened to /Film? It’s been a long time coming. We’re in the process of migrating over to a new system with a brand new design. This week also just so happens to be the week that the 2007 Sundance Film Festival begins, so we’ll be on location covering all the action. It will give us a chance to test drive the new system and design, under less pressure than a normal news-week....

‘Guardians Of The Galaxy’ Trailer: “What A Bunch Of A-Holes” By Russ Fischer/Feb. 18, 2014 8:57 pm EST (For those who were reading about Guardians last summer, this is basically a much more polished version of the reel shown at Comic Con last year. Star-Lord flipping the bird wasn’t censored there, if I remember correctly.) Guardians of the Galaxy opens in the US on August 1, 2014. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy,” which first appeared in comic books in Marvel Super-Heroes, Issue #18 (Jan....

‘Incendies’ Trailer – Academy Award Nominee For Best Foreign Language Film Of 2010 By Adam Quigley/Feb. 1, 2011 7:00 pm EST Incendies premiered at the Venice and Toronto Film Festivals to extremely positive reviews, but with such a limited audience, it hasn’t had a chance for much buzz to spread. Of course, its recent nomination for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars should change all that. Directed by Denis Villeneuve (Maelstrom), this Canadian film tells the story of two twins who, upon hearing their mother’s last wishes, journey to the Middle East in search of their tangled roots....

‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Opening Moves Up A Day By Germain Lussier/May 7, 2013 9:34 am EST J.J. Abrams’ new Star Trek movie is coming sooner than you expected. Paramount has moved the wide opening of Star Trek Into Darkness up a day, from Friday May 17 to Thursday May 16. IMAX theaters will still open the film on May 15, however, and it still opens overseas on May 9. But if you don’t live oversees or don’t have an IMAX theater nearby, you can see the film in 2D or 3D at your multiplex a day earlier....

‘Tarzan 3D’ Trailer: Kellan Lutz Swings, Or Flails, As The Lord Of The Apes By Russ Fischer/Oct. 22, 2013 7:00 am EST Kellan Lutz (Twilight) isn’t just the other Hercules (the one that isn’t The Rock), he’s also the new digi-Tarzan. For Tarzan 3D, the actor provided the voice work and mo-cap performance for the title character, who does all the hanging with apes and swinging on vines that you’d expect from a Tarzan story....

‘This Is The End’ Green Band Trailer: James Franco’s Party Turns Apocalyptic By Germain Lussier/April 4, 2013 9:56 am EST This week’s second trailer for This Is The End once again features what’s sure to be one of the better trailer moments this year: Michael Cera slapping Rihanna on the butt, and then her punching him in the face. In the red band trailer, that’s followed up with more of Cera’s true colors....

‘Underworld: Awakening’ Trailer: Everything’s Blue! By Russ Fischer/Aug. 18, 2011 9:30 am EST I’m mystified by the continued existence of the Resident Evil and Underworld movies. The parade of sequels for each franchise seems, to me, to just be the same stuff presented over and over again. But good-looking women kicking ass is something that evidently crosses all sorts of boundaries. So there’s an audience that loves them, and Swedish directors Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein are here to present Underworld: Awakening, the fourth film in the series and the return of Kate Beckinsale....

Check Out The Freaky Animatronic Baby Cut From ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 4, 2013 4:19 pm EST I’d imagine that just about everyone who saw the final Twilight movie wondered why scenes featuring baby Renesmee used a CG infant. I certainly did. Despite being part of a weird film that caps off a weird series, that digital baby seemed way out of place....
