Check out the full photo after the jump....

Jerry Seinfeld And Larry David’s Mystery Project Revealed By Germain Lussier/Jan. 13, 2014 10:43 am EST Jerry Seinfeld’s thoughts on Man of Steel might have been the most popular quote from the comedian’s recent Reddit AMA, but the biggest news was the announcement of a mystery reunion with Larry David. David co-created Seinfeld with the comedian and took some of the show’s sensibility — David’s half of it, at least — to HBO with Curb Your Enthusiasm....
Josh Boone In Early Talks To Write And Direct ‘The Vampire Lestat’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 18, 2014 12:15 pm EST The Vampire Lestat is a story very rooted in the ’80s, and we don’t know if this would be a period piece, or a modernized adaptation. If things come together, Boone would make this film after doing The Stand for Warner Bros.The Wrap reports that producers Brian Grazer, Alex Kurtzman, and Roberto Orci have all “signed off on Boone’s hiring,” with final approval yet to come from Universal....

Minor ‘Interstellar’ Plot Revelation Grounds The Film By Russ Fischer/Aug. 30, 2013 11:22 am EST We know that Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar features characters that journey to and/or through a wormhole in space, but that’s (forgive the pun) a pretty nebulous description. There are many different ways in which that basic plot could end up articulated on screen, and waiting to see how it all plays out is obviously part of the pleasure....
New ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ Images Show Off The Sprawling Cast By Angie Han/Sept. 19, 2013 11:30 am EST The Hunger Games had a pretty massive cast to start with, but since the first film ended with (um, spoiler alert) a whole bunch of characters dead, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is reloading with tons of other new characters.

Paul Thomas Anderson Admires Christopher Nolan’s ‘Dark Knight’ Trilogy By Germain Lussier/Oct. 26, 2012 11:00 am EST People tend to put filmmakers and film fans into strict categories; someone might be a comedy guy, a drama person, a horror fan or a superhero admirer. For example, no one would expect a filmmaker like Lars Von Trier to be a huge fanboy for Disney movies. He probably isn’t of course, but it’s just an extreme, hypothetical example of how we tend to presume peoples tastes....
Rumor: Activision Forming Movie Studio Division By Russ Fischer/Aug. 19, 2014 12:00 pm EST Looks like Activision likes the way Ubisoft is doing business. Not in the video game space; there, Activision has Ubi beat. But when it comes to creating movies based on original game titles, Ubi seems like it has a good thing going. The company started handling development of game to film projects via an internal division, and that led to projects such as Assassin’s Creed with Michael Fassbender and Splinter Cell with Tom Hardy, among others....

The project’s been brewing for a couple of years already, and prior to that Johansson took her first stab at directing with a short film starring Kevin Bacon....

Steven Spielberg’s ‘Halo’ TV Series Set For Fall 2015 By Russ Fischer/May 16, 2014 11:00 am EST We know some details about the parceled out Halo “digital feature” that will hit screens in the near future, but until now we’ve known little about the flagship Halo series that Steven Spielberg is producing for Xbox Live and potentially Showtime. Now, however, we know that Spielberg’s Halo series will arrive in fall 2015, alongside the new game Halo 5: Guardians....

Which Oscar-Winning Actress Filmed A Cameo In ‘Dumb And Dumber To’? By Angie Han/Sept. 30, 2013 4:00 pm EST Harry Dunne and Lloyd Christmas are iconic characters in their own way, but the goofy roles aren’t exactly the kind that attract Oscar love. So Dumb and Dumber To is adding a bit of Academy-approved sparkle in the form of a super secret cameo — or what was a super secret cameo, anyway, until the word got out and the headlines went up....
Who Was Responsible For The Cloverfield Movie Trailer? By Peter Sciretta/July 18, 2007 12:30 pm EST When the Cloverfield trailer hit one of my colleagues commented on Paramount’s genius marketing plan. I told him it’s not Paramount, JJ Abrams and his production company Bad Robot deserve the credit. I knew this because I’ve followed the viral marketing of Lost. The whole idea sounds less like an old school Hollywood idea and more like new school Hollywood using the internet the way it should be....
