Ben Affleck Could Return to Dennis Lehane With ‘Live By Night’
It's been almost a decade since 'Gigli' nearly destroyed Ben Affleck's career, but in the time since Affleck went from leading man (of less than leading movies), to auteur as the writer/director behind 'Gone Baby Gone,' 'The Town' and this weekend's 'Argo.' And now he's already lining up his next gig.
‘Gangster Squad’ Trailer: “This Isn’t a Crime Wave, It’s an Occupation”
After being delayed by 'The Dark Knight Rises' theater shooting, and after a round of reshoots that removed gunplay in a theater setting, it looks like 'Gangster Squad' is back into fighting shape, and now there's a new trailer that shows a lot of new footage (and removes the shootout in the theater).
Matt Damon Says More ‘Bourne’ Unlikely
When 'The Bourne Legacy' was released, producer Frank Marshall mentioned that he hoped a fifth film would bring the characters played by Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner together. This may be wishful thinking as Damon has recently said that he doesn't think he'll go back for more.
‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Will Have an Extended Edition
'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' is due out December 14, but we now already know that there will be an extended edition of the film after it hits Blu-ray and DVD, set to be released sometime in third quarter of 2013.
‘Skyfall’ First Clip: Daniel Craig Finds a Way Onto a Runaway Train
One of the coolest moments in the 'Skyfall' trailer is Daniel Craig's James Bond jumping into a train with its back half ripped off, only to him land and straighten his cufflinks. Now that scene (or part of it) is online.
‘Frankenweenie’ Unleashes a Clip and Featurette
Tim Burton's 'Frankenweenie' opens tomorrow, and we've already seen and reviewed it. Our Jordan Hoffman said that it has "craft dancing all over the screen (Mr. Rzykruski’s mouth!), but the scenario and the writing is all very safe." But though we were mixed on it, perhaps this new featurette and clip will get you excited.
‘Lincoln’ TV Spot Debuts During Presidential Debates
To tie into tonight's Presidential debate, Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' has released a long form TV spot, perhaps to remind us of the last President everyone can agree was pretty amazing (well, at least most everyone).
Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper Debate Drugs in First Clip from ‘Silver Linings Playbook’
'Silver Linings Playbook' may be a buzzed about Oscar contender, but more than that, it looks like a good movie. Not a "Good" Movie like 'The King's Speech' but an actual good movie. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper star in this tale of people who feel like damaged goods coming together, and now there's a great clip from the film online.
‘Munsters’ Reboot ‘Mockingbird Lane’ Looks DOA
If you thought the idea of rebooting 'The Munsters' for modern times was stupid, you're in luck. NBC looks to be pulling the plug on 'Mockingbird Lane,' which was mostly cast and which played a four minute sizzle reel at Comic Con 2012.
‘The Avengers’ Reveals Concept Art for Thanos
'The Avengers' hit Blu-ray this week, and with it - for those who have the Blu-ray - there's a second screen app that allows you to look at all sorts of additional material on your laptop or iPad. One of the secrets revealed is early concept art for the bad guy Thanos. Take a look.
Nicolas Cage and Richard Kelly Suit Up for ‘Amicus’
This is a match made in crazy-movie heaven. Richard Kelly, the writer-director behind 'Donnie Darko' and Southland Tales,' will be writing and directing 'Amicus,' which has Nicolas Cage set to star. It's a true life story about murder and justice, with Cage playing a lawyer (which - to be fair - doesn't sound that out there).
‘Identity Thief’ Trailer Has Jason Bateman Battling Melissa McCarthy
Making comedy about a man whose credit line is ruined and is about to go to court for debt because of identity theft seems difficult. It's a nightmare scenario for anyone who's suffered it before. Hopefully Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are enough to make 'Identity Thief' entertaining, and now we've got a trailer for the film.
