Michael Bay appears to be winding down his Transformers 3 reign of destruction in Chicago, and just when everybody appeared to be getting used to the explode-y, rubble-strewn chaos, too. A new, authorized behind-the-scenes video on the filmmaker's Web site offers a glimpse at the warm give-and-take between Bay, his stars and the city itself -- this despite his downmarket golf cart. Christopher Nolan would never be seen in one of those.

While you're still interested in what Hollywood has to offer this summer, the industry has already turned its sights toward next summer. At the end of the Tron Legacy panel at Comic-Con, Disney showed the first footage of Johnny Depp on the set of May 2011's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.

It's hard to imagine a more volatile, horrifying, videotaped public crisis than that which accompanied last month's G20 summit in Toronto. But where the imagination fails, David Hasselhoff never does.

Movieline's chief film critic Stephanie Zacharek returns to the video front today with a look at Salt -- not the mineral responsible for hypertension and much of the flavor of your favorite processed foods, but rather the crackerjack action film starring Angelina Jolie as a butt-kicking spy whose identity may not be what it seems.

The trailers for Buried take an intriguing, maybe unprecedented approach to selling the Ryan Reynolds-trapped-in-a-coffin thriller: With the latest now arriving online and in theaters, it's clear that Lionsgate would like nothing more than for you to forget the old saw insisting less is more.

The last time Edward Norton and Robert De Niro shared the screen together it was in the convoluted 2001 caper The Score. That outing -- which wasn't very good beyond a preposterous third-act switcheroo -- co-starred the legendary Marlon Brando. Who did they get to join their threesome this time around in Stone? Well, Milla Jovovich isn't that much of a step down, right?

John Madden's long-shelved thriller The Debt cuts between its main characters in two distinct time periods, which allows the film to indulge in my favorite game: "What will these actors look like when they get older?"

And that the upcoming season of Weeds disposes of her crutch so violently, should tell you all you need to know about where this show is headed.

If you haven't seen Christopher Nolan's debut feature Following, then you should -- and odds are good you don't need to leave your house. (Or wait for the mailman.) IFC Films today issued word announcing the 1998 suspense thriller's availability on demand, along with a new trailer for the film online. The latter is after the jump.
