‘Les Miserables’ TV Spots: Yes, This is an Oscar Front-Runner
We're about to enter the heart of darkness for the Oscar season, where a number of big pictures are going to make their bid to be the front runner. But all bets are off until December 25, when 'Les Miserables' hits screens. Now there are two TV spots to sell the scale and importance (and perhaps inevitability) of the film.
‘Holy Motors’ Trailer: Well, Hello Crazy
One of the biggest critical darlings of 2012 has to be Leos Carax's 'Holy Motors,' which is just now hitting America starting with a two screen run in New York. It's slowly going to be coming across the country, and now there's an official trailer for the U.S. And it looks bonkers.
‘Alex Cross 2′ – Tyler Perry is Already Plotting Sequel, ‘Double Cross’
'Alex Cross' doesn't open until Friday and we just reviewed it unfavorably, but that's not stopping Tyler Perry and book writer James Patterson from finalizing a deal on a sequel called 'Double Cross.'
‘Scarface’ is Getting Remade Whether You Want it or Not
It's hard to get upset about a remake of Brian De Palma's 1983 film 'Scarface,' if only because it was a remake of Howard Hawks's 1932 film of the same name. But a second remake is moving forward, and Universal proved it by hiring a new writer.
‘Carrie’ Trailer: Chloe Grace Moretz Gets Bloody Angry
Though it's light on footage, the teaser trailer that debuted at New York Comic Con 2012 for the upcoming remake of 'Carrie,' starring Chloe Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore, is pretty awesome. It showcases the wreckage from a Prom night gone bad that has left many dead and wounded.
Tina Fey and Amy Poehler to Host Golden Globes
Good job, Golden Globes! Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are set to host this year's Golden Globes ceremony, which is scheduled for January 13, 2013. The duo have previously anchored 'Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update desk together, and co-starred in the 2008 film 'Baby Mama.'
‘Skyfall’ Clip: “Take the Bloody Shot”
After today's underwhelming clip from 'Skyfall,' it's nice that they put out a clip with some action and excitement in it. It looks like the film opens with an insane train action set piece, and the end of it sees Daniel Craig's James Bond take a large, er, fall. Check out the clip.
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).
Beyonce Knowles Exits ‘A Star is Born,’ Project Likely Dead
When it was announced that Clint Eastwood might be directing Beyonce Knowles in the third remake of 'A Star is Born,' it seemed likely that the film was destined to win all the Oscars. Then word came that Leonardo DiCaprio might be the male lead. Money in the bank. Now Beyonce has left the project, there's currently no male lead attached and the project looks dead in the water.
