Or is it Charlize Theron, who will play the wicked queen opposite Kristen Stewart's armored Disney princess in Snow White and the Huntsman? Take a look at the side-by-side comparison below before deciding for yourself.

Ever since hearing Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth and Charlize Theron promote their upcoming Snow White and the Huntsman project as dark, gritty and atypical of the Disney franchise at Comic-Con, we've been excited to see what the cast and director Rupert Sanders would come up with. Now, on the heels of the promising concept artwork, some set photos have surfaced showing Stewart as a horse-riding, cigarette-smoking, armor-wearing princess unlike any other.

Hilary Duff may have seen her planned screen turn as Bonnie Parker nixed due to pregnancy, but the erstwhile Lizzie Maguire will soon appear in the Polish brothers ensemble comedy Stay Cool.

Get a first look at Duff's would-be teen seductress (and her failed attempt at seduction) in Movieline's exclusive clip.

Don't pretend like a new American Pie movie couldn't work. You sit through the sequels when they're on Encore or TeenNICK, or whatever. Horniness is a watchable thing! In this new photo, we see the class of '99 crowd the photo booth for old times' sake. Don't deny the cuteness.

I Melt With You, Mark Pellington's dark -- and I mean way dark -- meditation on midlife crises and male bonding, proved to be decidedly difficult stuff for many critics Sundance Film Festival debut last January. Back then I wrote in favor of giving its existential punk romanticism a chance to make its case (especially if you're a fan of folks like Jeremy Piven, who turns in a great face-melting performance). You'll finally get your chance to weigh in on the IMWY debate this fall as the film makes its way to VOD and limited theatrical release; get in the spirit with three new stills that highlight the trajectory of Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Christian McKay, and Piven's bromantic weekend of horrors.

A hyper-stylized, genre-mashing fantasy actioner involving cowboys, samurai, and an axe-wielding Ron Perlman with dreadlocks isn't exactly what you might have imagined in a film with a title like Bunraku, named for an obscure, 300-year-old form of Japanese puppet theater rarely performed these days. But that's the film director Guy Moshe made -- starring Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson (Indecent Proposal reunion!), and Kevin McKidd as a dapper, Fred Astaire-like cold-blooded killer, no less -- and you've got to give him credit for his ballsy vision.

There's been precious few sightings to date of Rooney Mara in character as Swedish punk-rock bisexu-hacker Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Which can only be a good thing; there's only so much toplessness a marketing campaign can really withstand in the far-off months leading up to release. But what's this? New Rooney? Fully clothed, hooded and pointing at a dude? Ooh la la, let us at it. (Bonus: Daniel Craig and Christopher Plummer, also fully clothed!)

Though a U.S. release date has yet to be set, Twi-hards are already squeeing with anticipation for Robert Pattinson's period adaptation Bel Ami, in which the Twilight star plays a turn of the century dandy sleeping his way through the ranks of Parisian high society. Which means he gets up close and personal (and hot and heavy and between the sheets) with pretty much every woman in sight, as seen in a new batch of pics that have surfaced online.

Here at Movieline HQ, we've been holding out hope that the untitled Judd Apatow continuation/quasi-sequel to Knocked Up (which has been filming with the working title of This Is Forty) will feature a comeback performance from the terminally maligned Megan Fox. No word yet whether that will happen -- despite co-star Paul Rudd singing her praises last week -- but at least Fox is having fun on the set. Over the weekend she posted a picture of herself and co-stars Jason Segel and Chris O'Dowd mugging for the camera in a swimming pool. Moviemaking! Just like breaking rocks! Click through for the pic.

The last time Paramount released a still photo from Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol, it was that Eminem-y shot of Emo Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) wearing a hoodie. Fashion faux pas, Mr. Hunt! Thankfully, this new still -- which features Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Paula Patton and Simon Pegg -- is a bit better. Seems like the IMF team stopped shopping at Hot Topic and found Banana Republic at the other end of the mall. Click through for a look.
