If you watched the pretty killer trailer for Drive and thought, "Needs more Han Solo," great news as you head into the weekend. Some enterprising video editor decided to mash-up the audio from Drive's trailer with video from Star Wars, and it's... not bad! Could use some better dubbing though. Click through for a peek.

After making waves at Sundance with his controversial horror pic The Woman -- in which a suburban family man imprisons a feral woman in his basement, with disastrous results -- director Lucky McKee (May, The Woods, Red) will finally unveil his film in theaters this October. And with a release date finally set, distributor The Collective has debuted a brand new trailer that sets a slightly gentler domestic tableau for the titular woman to completely ravage with her female fury.

Hunter S. Thompson fans have been patiently waiting over a decade for The Rum Diary to reach the big screen. (In fact, the adaptation process, which began in 2000, was so frustrating that the author himself coined the phrase "waterhead fuckaround" to describe the slow studio proceedings.) But The Rum Diary is finally in the can with a fall release date thanks to English writer and director Bruce Robinson, Thompson's long-time friend Johnny Depp and Depp's production company Infinitum Nihil. Let's take a look at the trailer!

Clueless is, without a doubt, the best dated movie of the '90s. The lingo, costuming, and music are the stuff of time capsules, but the film itself feels like a righteous love letter to the post-grunge era. I revisit it whenever there's a spare moment. In this new video, we see just how many outfits Beverly Hills teen Cher Horowitz (played with unwavering perfection by Alicia Silverstone) can squeeze into a 90-minute movie. Hint: It's a lot.

Red band trailers are the Movieline reader's one-stop shop for swear words, PG nudity, and otherwise offensive dialogue. They're the Costco of cusses. In the new red band trailer for the pleasant-seeming Our Idiot Brother (read the Movieline review here), Paul Rudd befuddles his parole officer, interrupts some schtupping, and survives the cutting commentary of his sister Elizabeth Banks. It's all very red, you know?

Cannes favorite The Artist looks flashy and frothy, but that combination is perfect for Michel Hazanavicius's sumptuous melodrama (in theaters Nov. 23) set in old Hollywood. It's chock-full of Errol Flynn mustaches, Marcel waves, mink stoles, and the kind of magnificent Tinseltown excesses that killed everyone on E!'s Mysteries and Scandals. The new English trailer is available in HD, so let's watch ahead.

Here at Movieline, we've seen some pretty random casts take the screen. Take for instance, the WTF-ery of The Big Bang (James Van Der Beek, Antonio Banderas and Snoop Dogg) or the brain teaser talent pool on Dorothy of Oz (Lea Michele, Kelsey Grammer and Patrick Stewart). But what can possibly be said about a trailer featuring Winona Ryder, Hilary Duff, Chevy Chase, Jon Cryer, Josh Holloway and Sean Astin acting out a second-rate Grosse Point Blank plot? Take a look at the trailer for Stay Cool and then we'll try to articulate our thoughts.

There was once a time when Twitter, vlogs, and YouTube didn't exist, and we could dismiss tabloid allegations of celebrity craycray by simply turning away from the register rack at Ralph's. Sometimes I wish those days weren't over. Case in point: Jim Carrey just posted a confessional video wherein he dreams of having children with Emma Stone. Oh my gosh. It's more unnervingly sincere than The Majestic!

The labs at Movieline's parent company PMC are always developing cool and creative ways to improve their comprehensive entertainment-media machine, and so it should come as no surprise that the TV and streaming video realms would receive a visit sooner or later. Thus ENTV, or Entertainment News Television, a new, regularly updated initiative featuring stories from around the PMC network -- sites like Deadline, TVLine, Hollywood Life and, of course, this very site as well. Coolest of all? We're going to cable!

The SXSW/Outfest favorite Weekend, starring newcomers Tom Cullen and Chris New, explores what happens when a one-night stand turns into a meaningful bond -- and when the two lovers in question happen to be sexy, hirsute gentlemen who sometimes look like each others' doppelgangers. In other words, this movie should be taught in schools. View the trailer for director Andrew Haigh's touching (not cloying!), honest (not earnest!) film after the jump.

Sure, Rider Strong has done a ton of stuff since his days on the ABC series Boy Meets World, but far be it from me to pass up a chance to name drop that TGIF classic!

After the jump, watch the film's trailer and get the full list of genre shorts playing at the Austin festival.

Because you don't own Star Wars on enough platforms, Lucasfilm is releasing the complete saga on Blu-ray in September. The massive and anticipated release will feature loads of bells and whistles -- including Original Trilogy deleted scenes! -- plus some new stuff. Like a computer-generated version of Yoda to replace the puppet used in The Phantom Menace . Click through for a comparison.

On Monday, the Internet learned that real human being Ryan Gosling had joined the ranks of hero after breaking up a New York City street fight. ("Street fight.") Many questions remained after watching the shaky video evidence, though, and the guys over at OMGICU.com tracked down Gosling street fight videographer Valerie Herrera to get to the bottom of the incident.

Nope, you can't bring up Dr. Strangelove and feel like a sophisticated comedy aficionado anymore: Charlie Sheen's Comedy Central roast references the 1963 film in its first advertisement, rendering it almost useless to humanity. That said, I can't wait for the actual roast -- talk about a "war room."

Of all the features set to premiere at this year's Toronto Film Festival, only one production resulted in the deportation of its lead. That film is Luc Besson's biopic The Lady, which stars Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon actress and Burmese deportee Michelle Yeoh as Suu Kyi, the Nobel Prize winner and Burmese government protester. Finally, a teaser trailer for this controversial picture has surfaced.
