First Official Image From The Twilight Saga: Eclipse
4 hours ago | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
In the wake of the highly successful “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” Summit Entertainment have today released the first official image from the third installment in the popular vamp franchise – The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.
The third book in the series, Eclipse stars tween idols Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner. Coming on board this time around is Bryce Dallas Howard, taking the reins from Rachelle Lefevre as evil vampiress, Victoria. The film is directed by “30 Days of Night” helmer, David Slade.
While Eclipse promises a far more epic feel, with a full-blown battle sequence being one of the key scenes, the first image is relatively low-key; featuring Edward Cullen (Pattinson) and Bella Swan (Stewart) sitting/laying in a wild meadow. Check out the image below, and stay tuned for further updates!
The third film in the Twilight series explores a love triangle between Bella (Kristen Stewart), Edward (Robert Pattinson …

Alexander Skarsgård Talks Straw Dogs and Thor
5 hours ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
This post is probably going to be a bit like kicking a beehive. Every time we run an article about the upcoming Thor movie, starring Chris Hemsworth as the Norse god of Marevel comics and legend, there is a flurry of comments reiterating the fan opinion that Alexander Skarsgård should have been the one cast. And, in a small interview, he says he very nearly was, and that he auditioned quite a few times. Before saying that he auditioned for Thor "many, many times," the actor told Black Book (via The Playlist): I know that they considered me for the part and I got, from what I understand, very close to getting it and that’s amazing because I know how many guys they look at for a part like that. I was very humbled by that. It was a great experience and you know you win some you lose some, …

DreamWorks vs. Paramount Lives On
6 hours ago | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
DreamWorks has moved on. Or have they? The Paramount divorce is final. DreamWorks is now a true indie, having ridden through the worst of last year’s financial storm via cash floated from Spielberg and new DreamWorks partner, India’s Reliance. Still based at Spielberg’s old Amblin digs on the Universal lot, and having evicted Harvey Weinstein from Spielberg’s floor in the Tribeca building, DreamWorks and J.P. Morgan have raised the millions to proceed with making six films a year. When Universal couldn’t meet their needs, DreamWorks pacted with Disney for distribution (under the Touchstone label). And they paid Paramount to take away 17 projects, which are now … …
“Summer Hours” Wins indieWIRE ‘09 Critics Poll; “Mulholland Dr.” is Best of Decade
16 hours ago | IndieWIRE | See recent indieWIRE news »
Olivier Assayas’ “Summer Hours,” a quiet sibling battle over the objects inside a French family’s summer home, was named the best film of 2009 in indieWIRE’s annual poll of more than 100 film critics and bloggers. David Lynch’s “Mullholland Drive,” a sort of American fever dream set in Hollywood, was chosen as the best film of the decade. Assayas’ latest topped The Coen Brothers’ “A Serious Man” and Kathryn Bigelow’s “The … …
Spielberg to take War Horse for big-screen gallop
17 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Steven Spielberg has acquired the film rights to Michael Morpurgo's book about a farmhand's search for his beloved horse, which has already become a hit play with life-size puppets
War Horse, the hit play which began life as a children's book, looks set for a gallop on the big screen after Steven Spielberg picked up the film rights.
With its innovative use of life-size puppets to depict the horses of the first world war, the story of a young Devon farmhand who braves the trenches in an effort to find his beloved colt has proved a huge success on stage. After opening at the National Theatre in October 2007, it transferred to the West End's New London Theatre in March this year and is currently booking until February 2010, with a possible national and world tour also on the cards.
Spielberg has bought the screen rights to Michael Morpugo's 1982 novel, which …

'Sex and the City 2' Trailer Brings Glitz, Glamour, and ... Camels?
6 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
That's right, I wrote camels. But it's not just camels! The first trailer for Sex and the City 2 is upon us, and it's full of the bling, runway fashions, and over-the-top flavah we've come to expect ... plus a whole desert twist. Yes, movie fans, I shudder to write that that's Sarah Jessica Parker's Carrie in a glam-turban.
While we've heard rumors of financial hardships and romantic drama, they are nowhere in sight in this first trailer. Instead, there's a new exotic locale for the girls to lounge in that actually has them riding flippin' camels through the desert. Oh, I can just imagine the xenophobic jokes that will descend this time around. It seems like a missed opportunity that they didn't make Charlotte into a bubble girl for this latest burst of travel! (Although she does get a rather bubbly hat in the picture above.) One thing is …

Court Refuses To Dismiss Charges Against Polanski
10 hours ago | Studio Briefing - Film News | See recent Studio Briefing - Film News news »
A California appellate court on Monday refused to dismiss charges against fugitive director Roman Polanski but said it was "deeply concerned" about allegations of prosecutorial and judicial misconduct presented by Polanski's lawyers. The allegations were detailed in an HBO documentary, Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired. However, it added, "Even in light of our fundamental concern about the misconduct that has been alleged here with significant evidentiary support, flight was not Polanski's only option. It was not even his best option." The court said that Polanski's lawyers ought to have filed motions seeking to disqualify the judge, the late Laurence Rittenband. It said that the director now has two options: file a motion to be sentenced in absentia or return to the U.S. and face sentencing in person. …

Inception International Trailer
11 minutes ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Well, this is a nice little surprise. If you can stand not knowing the content of the dialogue and voice-over, here's the French version of the first full trailer for Christopher Nolan's upcoming film Inception. Check it out after the break. Actually, I almost prefer seeing the trailer this way, because I can concentrate on the visuals and the cutting more than anything else. It's a bit low-res, but there are a few things in here that look fantastic -- that first shot of the city crumbling and curling up? Whoa. Nice stuff. There are quite a few echoes from the teaser trailer, and we see the filmed versions of some scenes between Leonardo DiCaprio and Ellen Page that spy and other on-set reports described. There's a bit of an expansion of that shot of the damn spinning top. There are glimpses of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and a handful of …

First Trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception (en Francais)
13 minutes ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
The French trailer for Christopher Nolan’s Inception just landed online and it’s the one I saw last night…but in French. English speakers shouldn’t worry about the language barrier because even if you understood the dialogue, you still probably wouldn’t be able to tell what the hell was happening. Nevertheless, I think you can agree that the visuals and pacing of the trailer are effective so I’d say it’s a success.
We’ll be sure to update this story once the trailer is online en anglais. In the meantime, hit the jump to check out the French trailer. Inception hits theaters on July 16, 2010.

Sex & The City 2 Trailer Online
22 minutes ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
In case you were wondering, no that tagline is not a mis-spelling and does not mean the Sex And The City sequel trailer will find Sarah Jessica Parker and co locked up - they're actually off to the desert.Plot details in this first promo are thin on the ground, so there's no actual explanation for why Carrie and the girls are strutting around in the sun, though we do learn that it's two years later and "things you thought would never happen in a million years" have occured since we last saw them. So it's anyone's guess - Samantha getting hitched? Miranda giving up complaining? Charlotte going postal and taking out 15 people at her local park with an Ak-47? Yeah, probably not the last one, but we just know a lot of you are now hoping that will happen.This definitely looks like one for the fans - take …
Mark Strong on Sherlock Holmes, Peter Weir’s The Way Back, The Guard and Eagle Of The Ninth
58 minutes ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
About a week ago, I got to speak to an actor whose work I really admire: Mark Strong (IMDb resume). While many of you might not know his name, if you ever saw Body of Lies, he played a character named Hani Salaam and he was the best performance in the film. Since then, Strong has booked a ton of very high profile gigs in some of Hollywood’s biggest movies. Clearly people noticed his work and as a fan, I’m excited to see him in more movies.
Anyway, the reason I got to speak with him is he plays the villainous Lord Blackwood in director Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. During out conversation we discussed the promotional process for Sherlock Holmes and what he’s had to do, working for Guy Ritchie again, what he did to prepare for the role, and so much more.
And for fans of Peter Weir, …

Trailer Alert – Frozen
1 hour ago | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
It’s a simple premise: three friends find themselves stuck on a ski lift. With nobody coming to their aid and temperatures quickly dropping, they must make a decision on how they’re going to survive, or freeze to death mid-air. See? Simple.
The new trailer for Frozen however, gave me the kind of chills normally reserved for a scary supernatural horror, and while it doesn’t give to much away about the story, it certainly leaves an impression.
Starring Shawn Ashmore, who you may remember from the X-Men series, Kevin Zegers of “Transamerica” and “Dawn of the Dead” fame and Emma Bell, the film is written and directed by Adam Green. Check out the trailer below:
A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, …

Terror Tidbits (Fango #290): The Wolfman: Hair Today, Gore Tomorrow
1 hour ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The beast is back, and he’s staring Fangoria right in the eye. It’s May 2008, and the end of a long day at England’s Pinewood Studios, where your correspondent has been given a tantalizing behind-the-scenes tour of Universal’s latest attempt to mine its classic horror back catalog, following the successful revamp of The Mummy. After visiting various sets and interviewing some of the cast and crew of The Wolfman, we have decamped to a windowless room to chat with makeup legend Rick Baker about the task of turning star Benicio Del Toro into the eponymous monster.
Midway through our chat, the lights go out, plunging the room into total darkness. “Stay calm,” instructs the film’s unit publicist, “it’s just a problem with the fuse.” But something is afoot. Suddenly, there’s movement at a door, and a large shape enters the room. As our eyes become accustomed to the gloom, …

New Lost Promo Set Up as World’s Longest Bedtime Story
1 hour ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
“Once upon a time…” begins this new promo for the sixth and final season of Lost and I can’t help but wonder: who is this being told to? There are many ways to describe Lost but I wouldn’t put “Fairy Tale” near the top of the list. Also, even if this were a fairy tale, I doubt it would put your kid to bed and you’d be up for days trying to tell it.
As expected, this new promo shows no footage from the upcoming season but I have no problem with that. Staying spoiler-free on these final 18 episodes is going to be a challenge but I’m definitely up for it. Best of luck to everyone that’s waiting for the DVD.
Hit the jump to check out the promo. The end begins with the Lost season premiere on February 2, 2010 at 8/7c on ABC.

Two New Images From Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
1 hour ago | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »
Two new images have hit the net for Disney’s big screen adaptation of the popular video game series, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as damsel in distress, Tamina and Ben Kingsley as the evil sorcerer Nizam, the film is directed by Mike Newell.
The images, one of which is Gyllenhaal in full body armour, the other featuring him and Gemma Arterton, come to us courtesy of Fantasy.fr. Personally I’m still unsure as to whether Disney can pull this one off, but then again I felt the same about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and look how cool that turned out. Check out the images below:

3 Movie Clips from Daybreakers
1 hour ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Lionsgate has released three clips from their upcoming vampire movie Daybreakers that stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe and Sam Neill. If you’re the type that’s sick of all the friendly vampires in Twilight and you’re craving some real killers, Daybreakers is for you.
And even if you’re not into vampire movies, I think the premise of Daybreakers is quite cool: it’s the year 2019 and vampires are now the dominant species on the planet with the remaining humans being farmed for blood. But with the remaining blood supply dwindling, a vampire scientist (Ethan Hawke) finds himself siding with the human resistance. The film is directed by Michael and Peter Spierig.
So if you’re curious…hit the jump to check the clips out. Daybreakers hits theaters on January 8, 2010.
For more on Daybreakers, here’s my video blog about the film with Peter from Slashfilm. And here’s a trailer. …

First Trailer for Sex And The City 2
2 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Of all the women in my life who watched the Sex and the City TV show, only one enjoyed the 2008 movie while everyone else had mixed to negative reactions to the film. I watched the film and while I know it wasn’t for me, I couldn’t help but feel like the film was overly long and felt suited towards a made-for-hbo movie than a big screen theatrical event. But my opinion and the opinions of my mom and female friends don’t seem to matter much because Sex and the City 2 is hurdling towards us and the first trailer for the film has come online.
I don’t have much to say about it other than there’s two lame puns on the name “Carrie” and Kim Cattrall is almost unrecognizable and I don’t mean that in a good way. Also, a female friend who liked …
