At this point, being surprised by superhero cross-pollination in the Marvel universe is a bit like Captain Louis being shocked, shocked to find gambling at Rick's Café Américain. That said: The possibly secret cameo that gets revealed in this latest clip from Thor may actually shock you. Shock shock you, even. Click ahead to watch, but not if you want to be spoiled.
Kirsten Dunst is having some second thoughts about her decision to marry. Sure, as one character notes, she's positively glowing at her wedding, but soon she's in the back room about to cry. Finally she makes the confession: "I'm not really happy." Oh, the tragedy. If only another planet would come and crash into the earth to put her out of her misery! Ah, but have no fear; that hypothetical planet actually is hurtling toward our planet right now, and you know that Lars Von Trier is going to make sure that it collides! Yep, the trailer for Von Trier's "beautiful film about the end of the world," Melancholia, has arrived. Naturally, borderline NSFW nudity lies ahead.
Granted, the joke in this video clip isn't the most laugh-out-loud hilarious street prank ever pulled. All the same, there's something refreshing about seeing a director who at one point dressed up and played ball with all the self-congratulatory excess of the Academy Awards now standing on a street corner dressed as an old lady and asking a passerby about his camel toe. Can you guess the 1999 Oscar Nominee?
Kat Dennings's played "gleefully out-of-control" in Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, but that movie seems like a much more benign tale of teenage fervor compared to what's happening in her new movie Daydream Nation. Sleeping around? Seducing teachers? Let's crank up the Rihanna and watch helplessly as this good girl goes bad.
Back in January, the Beastie Boys debuted a 20-minute short film at the Sundance Film Festival called Fight for Your Right Revisited. Directed by Adam Yauch (aka "MCA"), the '80s "period piece" stars wall-to-wall celebrities including Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell and Danny McBride as they roam the streets in track suits and chains, smashing TVs, throwing pies and parodying the Beastie Boys' trademark music video moves. This afternoon, the red band trailer is available for your enjoyment. Check it out ahead and see if you can name all of the celebrities. Ready, set...
Would you have loved The Fighter more if Micky Ward and Dicky Eklund fought each other at the end, and if Paramount dropped the "The" in the film's title? Good news, then! The trailer for Warrior has arrived to make those improvements -- and it even ignores the Masshole accents. (Which may or may not be an improvement from where you're sitting.)
Roland Emmerich may be best known for producing some of the most epic disaster porn this side of the Mayan apocalypse (The Day After Tomorrow, 2012), but he trades catastrophic earthquakes for large-scale Elizabethan England stampedes in his latest venture, Anonymous. Not that the premise is any less ridiculous: the film is based on the unorthodox theory that William Shakespeare did not write the 37 plays and 154 sonnets that have immortalized him in culture today.
When a trailer begins with Joseph Gordon-Levitt jumping shirtless off a flaming diving board in slow motion while Metallica blares in the background, it seems pretty safe to assume that we're not dealing with the usual feel-good, barely-edgy Sundance comedy. Or so I thought. But in fact, about halfway through, the Metallica self-consciously stops, and after that, it's hard to be so sure.
Movieline hero Clint Culpepper strikes again! Sony announced today that it will distribute Joe Cornish's debut feature, the London kids vs. aliens action comedy Attack the Block, via its Screen Gems division. "The film is, at once, charming, scary, funny, hip, clever and completely hits its mark," said Screen Gems president Culpepper in a press release. Guess all that geek cred from SXSW did the film some good after all! Hit the jump for more info and a look at the film's nerdgasm-inducing trailer.
It doesn't rank as Steve Carell's first post-Office project, but Crazy, Stupid, Love will be the first chance fans get to see the former Dunder-Mifflin branch manager outside of the friendly confines of Scranton when the film is released on July 29. Not that anyone will notice Carell when Ryan Gosling's Situation-like abs are on full display.
Tuesday marked the 17th anniversary of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's tragic suicide. Cobain's hometown commemorated the day by erecting a statue in his honor. The city of Seattle celebrated Cobain's life by continuing preparation on its Nirvana memorabilia exhibition. And Nirvana superfan Jared Leto honored the anniversary by posting his own homemade Kurt Cobain audition tape on YouTube.
As Billy Crystal teased on The Daily Show earlier this week, his latest project is actually a trip back to one of his most beloved past projects. Nope, not Monsters University; When Harry Met Sally 2! Before you curl up into the fetal position and start to weep however, note that When Harry Met Sally 2 is nothing more than a four-minute Funny or Die spoof. And a great one at that. Click ahead to watch the NSFW fun.
As announced on Monday, the Tribeca Film Festival will debut a work-in-progress cut of the new documentary Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon. Because of course Kings of Leon needs a documentary. Light your sex on fire and watch the NSFW first trailer for Sky ahead.
It had to happen eventually: An enterprising, film-obsessed soul with editing software and a few dozen hours of free time has spliced together the quintessential Boston-movie supercut. And by "quintessential," of course I mean all your favorite Beantown malcontents in various states of aggressive, profane misbehavior. Wicked! And needless to say, NSFW.
Did you know that I want most superhero movies to kill themselves? It's true. The minute we take the budget of one superhero movie and give it to, say, five or six different comic whodunits like Murder by Death or Clue, I'll be a happy dame. But here's one superhero gem I can tolerate: India's ultra-expensive version of Iron Man/Hancock called Ra One. A longer-look at the film has arrived, and its big on drama, with the kind of soundtrack that will please fans of James Bond.
