If I watch anymore Scream 4 teasers, I'm going to figure out who the killer is. In fact, I already have five guesses: 1) Old age; 2) Kristen Bell's alcoholic character from Burlesque; 3) Sidney "Pushed to the Edge" Prescott; 4) Kevin Williamson; 5) Mike Ryan, now that he's spent six hours sitting through the first three movies. Let's check out two more clips from the fourth installment starring Hayden Panettiere and Courteney Cox as the divine Gale Weathers.

Hold on to your hats, action buffs, because Hong Kong star Donnie Yen is about to blow your minds. In this Movieline exclusive clip from Legend of the Fist: The Return of Chen Zhen, Chen Zhen (Yen) -- in France with his fellow countrymen to help the Allies -- decides he's had enough with this trench warfare b.s., grabs a couple of knives, leaps, slides and sideways runs his way through a barrage of bullets, and single-handedly takes out a squadron of Germans. Thor, Transformers, Captain America -- the gauntlet has been thrown down.

Remember the good old days when we hunted Nazi war criminals and looked like Sam Worthington? The Debt laments those times too. Three youngsters (Jessica Chastain, Martin Csokas and Worthington) track down a WWII baddie in the 1960s, and thirty years later their older selves (Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson, Ciarán Hinds) realize the job isn't over. This is an updated version of a trailer we saw last July (the movie was lost in the Miramax sale), but hey! New graphics and more Mirren antics!

Did you put any bananas in your cereal this morning? Because Ashton Kutcher may have. As part of his "Real Men Don't Buy Girls" campaign, the celebrity do-gooder has produced a set of new videos that inform the public about the perils of child sex slavery. Which would be great, if the videos weren't so insanely tone-deaf.

On the one hand, this full-length remake of Footloose by 54 filmmakers worldwide is kind of a brilliant, awe-inspiring protest against the current remake culture we're facing in Hollywood. It's an impressive accomplishment, and their hearts were clearly in the right place. On the other hand, why Footloose?

If you were surprised that Michael Shannon locked down the role of General Zod in Superman: Man of Steel, imagine being Shannon. "It just came out of nowhere," he told an audience at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem, NC. "I'm talking to my agent [and he said] 'How about Superman?' I'm like, 'What?' The idea that I would ever be in Superman. I'm like, 'Are you serious?'" Very serious. Click ahead to watch the hilariously amazing Shannon explain his audition process with Zack Snyder.

Everyone, stop what you're doing. Universal has finally released the trailer for Honey 2, the absolutely un-awaited sequel to Jessica Alba's 2003 Razzie-nominated dance flick. It may not have the caché of other studio follow-ups like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 or any of the "stars" from the first film -- but what it lacks in original plot and compelling characters, it makes up for in spirit and sports bras.

After a troubled, 20-year road from script-development to screen, Passion Play is coming to select theaters. Then, just in case you blink, it will hit DVD three weeks later. Word of mouth out of Toronto was that the film was a disaster, and the theater-to-DVD release window pretty much backs that up. But after watching the trailer, I can't help but wonder: Can a film with Mickey Rourke falling in love with an angel played by Megan Fox while trying not to get killed by Bill Murray be totally worthless?

A teaser trailer for The Woman In Black, Daniel Radcliffe's first post-Potter film role, has popped up online and there's not a whole to say about it. Spooky English manor, startled Dan in a period waistcoat, and thick, impenetrable darkness that so pervasive it practically merits second billing. Take a look below! [IGN]

As far as Marvel Comics' summer superhero movies go, it seems like there might be a clear set of preconceived notions already coagulating into stone. Captain America? Looks like it might be a retro-adventure movie like Indiana Jones! X-Men: First Class? The trailer looked cool, but the posters are objectively vomit-inducing, so we're cautiously optimistic. Thor, on the other hand, seems to have already been declared DOA by the geek brigade. But this behind the scenes look on the set in New Mexico might start to change their minds.

So, it really has come to this. Back in 1963, Patty Duke won an Academy Award at the age of 16 for her work in The Miracle Worker. Now, she is shilling for SocialSecurity.gov while wearing Spock ears and an ill-fitting Trekkie costume. George Takei joins her for legitimacy. (Melissa Leo, you have seen your future.) I guess Mo'nique really was right when she eloquently said, "You can't eat an Oscar."

Upright Citizens Brigade co-founder Matt Walsh (Outsourced) called on a dozen of his fellow comedians to act in his directorial debut High Road, an improvised film about a weed dealer (James F.

If watching Lars von Trier end the world by crashing another planet into Earth has you down, direct your attention to the trailer for Dolphin Tale. You probably didn't know the film existed before this very moment, but that doesn't mean it won't make you cry tears of happy.
