CHARLIE COUNTRYMAN Trailer Means Make or Break Time For Shia LaBeouf

CHARLIE COUNTRYMAN Trailer Means Make or Break Time For Shia LaBeouf

Charlie Countryman’s newly released red band trailer looks very… adult? Shia LaBeouf is trying hard to break into more artistic filmmaking, but he’s still Shia LeBeouf. He still hasn’t risen to the occasion and brought a stand out performance to the table. He will always be the Even Stevens kid who was in that Indiana...

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Confirmed for THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

Aaron Taylor-Johnson Confirmed for THE AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON

The longtime rumors of Kick-Ass lead Aaron Johnson’s playing Quicksilver in The Avengers: Age of Ultron have been confirmed. For those of you who aren’t completely well versed in your Marvel heroes, Quicksilver is Magneto’s son and sports some super speed, akin to DC’s The Flash (please don’t murder me for comparing them, nerds). Elizabeth...

LEGO Movie Builds Excitement with Second Trailer

LEGO Movie Builds Excitement with Second Trailer

LEGO seems to have had a bit of resurgence lately. There are LEGO stores in every mall (where were these when I was a kid?), and several LEGO video games, including Lego Star Wars and Lego Lord of the Rings. Now 21 Jump Street directors, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, are bringing the bane of...

LONDON HAS FALLEN To Film in 2014 With Original Cast

LONDON HAS FALLEN To Film in 2014 With Original Cast

It seems the studios want Gerard Butler to be John McClane. Unfortunately, Bruce Willis is already John McClane, so the Diehard rip-off, Olympus Has Fallen, will be getting a sequel, set in London. The title is, you guessed it, London has Fallen and Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart and Morgan Freeman are set to reprise their...

Emile Hirsch Cast in John BELUSHI Biopic

Emile Hirsch Cast in John BELUSHI Biopic

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Emile Hirsch has been cast as comedy legend John Belushi, in the Steve Conrad directed biopic simply named Belushi. Conrad’s film will follow the heights reached by Belushi’s comedic genius, as well as his self-induced downfall and eventual death at the hands of drugs and alcohol. Hirsch undoubtedly has some...

As Expected, JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT Moves from Crowded Christmas Date

As Expected, JACK RYAN: SHADOW RECRUIT Moves from Crowded Christmas Date

Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’s release date has officially been pushed back to January, 17 2014. As speculated, Jack Ryan joins Monuments Men in an all out scramble of recent release date shifts. Here though, nobody was speculating Oscar potential for Kenneth Branagh’s directorial effort, but an extremely promising award season probably has something to do with...

Out in Theaters: BAD GRANDPA

Jackass has never pretended seriousness. They consistently play the buffoon and perform painful and self-deprecating stunts to shock bystanders and get belly laughs from audiences. Bad Grandpa is an evolution…

New International Trailer for THE BOOK THIEF

New International Trailer for THE BOOK THIEF

A new international trailer for The Book Thief, a World War II drama adapted by the bestselling novel by Markus Zusak, has been released. This follows 20th Century Fox taking out two whole pages in the New York Times to fill entirely with blank space except for a URL of the film’s website wordsarelife.com in...

Stephen Lang Will Return for AVATAR Sequels

Stephen Lang Will Return for AVATAR Sequels

Stephen Lang, the actor who played the nefarious Colonel Quartich in Avatar, has been confirmed by James Cameron to return and reprise his character. Despite the spoiler-fact that Quartich died at the end of the Avatar, Cameron is determined to work him into the remaining films of the series and isn’t revealing much, at least...

Red Band Trailer for HOMEFRONT Gets Bloody

Red Band Trailer for HOMEFRONT Gets Bloody

Jason Statham continues his streak of playing badass Americans with British accents, in Gary Fleder’s Homeland. But, like with Arnold Schwarzenegger, we don’t really care. The spoiler-ridden trailer plays like an annotation for five different action movies in one. A little bit Taken, a little bit Walking Tall, a little bit A History of Violence,...
