In Source Code, Jake Gyllenhaal plays a man who has traveled back in time (kind of; it's complicated) and has eight minutes to stop a bomb from exploding on a commuter train bound for Chicago. Which probably leaves you thinking: Wait, when did Jake Gyllenhaal become an action star? How did the former child actor and indie darling transform himself into the hero who saves the day?
· It may not be the butter-colored thrusting that those leaked stills from Breaking Dawn offered, but there is something quite lovely about this Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I deleted scene showcasing Ron and Hermione in one of their "oh, just shag already!" moments.

Judging from the reviews of Hop, the only way you'll probably see it over the weekend is if you have a child who doesn't want to watch Toy Story 3 for the sixty-seventh time. (Or maybe if you just want to see more of the ever-charming James Marsden.) Though while the quality of the animation hybrid might be fairly stale -- Movieline's Stephanie Zacharek wrote that the film was as "emotionally hollow as an empty plastic egg" -- the process of getting it to the big screen was quite perilous.
In a fitting development for April Fools' Day, MTV has announced that it is adapting Catfish -- the ambiguously authentic documentary about the most extravagant ruse ever pulled off by a Michigan housewife with a fondness for oil painting -- into a reality series.
You may have been excited when Buried director Rodrigo Cortes announced that his next film would star Robert De Niro, Elizabeth Olsen, Sigourney Weaver and Cillian Murphy, but judging from this first still of De Niro in Red Lights, expectations should be tempered. What is this exactly? An advertisement for some wannabe top-shelf vodka? A reboot of The Blues Brothers? Click through to be underwhelmed.
Ever since Jon Cassar's Kennedys mini-series was dumped by the History Channel, audiences probably figured that the project -- starring Greg Kinnear as John F. Kennedy and Katie Holmes as Jacqueline -- was bad. Even so, viewers still wouldn't have predicted that the Camelot narrative (premiering this Sunday on Reelz) would be as bad as critics are making it out. Ahead, the nine most scathing responses to The Kennedys.
It still doesn't have a director, but Lionsgate has announced that The Expendables 2 will hit theaters on Aug. 17, 2012. Suggested Movieline titles for the sequel: Still Expendable, More Expendable, The Non-Essentials, The Frivolous Guys. [Coming Soon]
Some backstory: The rental bikes in London have been dubbed "Boris Bikes", after Mayor Boris Johnson, who has a penchant for cycling. That's about all the context you need to appreciate the photo that former California governor (and future cartoon character) Arnold Schwarzenegger tweeted of himself taking a breezy bike ride with the mayor this week. But surely, there's a better caption for this amazing photo than what Ahnold applied! Take a look after the jump and get to work.
Last weekend, Chloe Moretz regaled MTV about her next big project. "You're gonna die when you find out," she said. "It's huge! You're going to be freaking out, cause I was. I left my iPad on a plane, I was so freaked out. [...] It's big, and it's crazy, and it involves some really cool actors." If you think Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Helena Bonham Carter and Michelle Pfeiffer are "really cool," then begin freaking out.
It was with no small amount of eagerness that Movieline ventured to the Magic Castle in Los Angeles to meet with screen veteran Barbara Hershey and discuss her work in Insidious, her second horror film in the last four months, following December's Black Swan. There, ensconced in a room in the famed nightclub -- a place purposefully shrouded in mystery -- conversation turned from the James Wan-directed tale to the paranormal and beyond thanks to a series of eerie mystery noises that, fittingly enough, evoked the thrills and scares found in the haunted house chiller.
"Leading up to the Oscars, I couldn't hear enough about how, 'Oh, people don't care about the Oscars anymore, it's dead, it's old, it's at the end of a long awards season, who cares about it?'" James Franco told David Letterman in an interview that will air Friday night. "Well, as soon as you don't host the way you want to, they suddenly care and they won't shut up about it! Suddenly, I can't hear enough about a show they don't care about!" Perhaps Franco has found a way to stop hearing about it: The embattled Oscar host no longer has a Twitter account.

Another day, another series of baffling remake announcements. Since today is April 1st, I have been clicking on each story with cautious hopes that the link would lead to a photo of a big Jack-in-the-Box laughing at me (or something of the sort). Sadly, that hasn't happened as often as I would have liked. So, just to lighten the mood, let's see how well you know Hollywood! Click through to read a list of remake announcements and try to guess which projects are fake, and which are actually in development.
Casting Will Ferrell in a dark adaptation of a Raymond Carver story sounded like a pretty intriguing idea when the synopsis for Everything Must Go first surfaced before its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. In it, he plays an alcoholic who loses his job, only to come home and find that his wife has locked him out and scattered all of his possessions on the lawn. So begins Ferrell's three-day yard sale, where everything must... never mind. But wait, why does an adaptation of a Carver story look so uplifting?
AMC and Lionsgate reached a deal that guarantees three more seasons of Mad Men with creator Matthew Weiner as show runner. AMC mostly backed down on the budget cuts and product placement they were initially demanding. (Yay!) However, while Weiner will produce 47-minute episodes for the first and last episodes of the show, he will deliver shorter 45-minute cuts for episodes 2-12 when they run on AMC to make more room for advertisements. (Boo!) They will be restored to 47-minutes for VOD, DVD and other digital platforms. (Yay!) The fifth season will premiere in March 2012, and Weiner says these will likely be the last three seasons. [Deadline]
