Add Zack Snyder's upcoming Sucker Punch to the list of movies that Movieline will be fearlessly covering during Comic-Con 2010. The first image from the film has appeared online and... huh. If you loved Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, then here's your movie!
Sure, yesterday's trailer for The Social Network was creepy and superlative, but didn't it feel like there was a little something missing? I mean, this is an Aaron Sorkin-scripted production. Where's his trademark walk-and-talk?
Go ahead and send out those Evites for the Mad Men premiere party you've been planning all year: AT&T has reached a carriage fee agreement with Rainbow Media after threatening to yank the company's cable networks (AMC, IFC and WEtv) off the air.
