Attention 'Star Wars' fans! Before you get your tent and sleeping bag and lawn chair and start waiting on line for 'Star Wars: Episode 7' you should probably know this: 'Star Wars: Episode 7' might not come out in 2015 as originally planned.
If 'Sin City' wasn't your thing, you can still probably appreciate one thing about Robert Rodriguez's movie: Jessica Alba as a stripper. Well, get ready Jessica Alba fans because she says 'Sin City 2' will feature even more of her stripper Nancy Callahan including some new dance moves that Alba calls "crazy."
The search for a 'Star Wars: Episode 7' director is over. J.J. Abrams - the man who once said he would only be interested in 'Star Wars' as a paying moviegoer - will direct the first film in the new trilogy.
'Inside Llewyn Davis' is the next movie from the Coen Bros. and for that alone we're intrigued. But then you watch this - the first 'Inside Llewyn Davis' trailer - and we're excited for an entirely different set of reasons. Is this our first look at one of the 2014 Oscar frontrunners?
'Dumb and Dumber 2' was definitely happening. And then it was off. But then Jim Carrey was back and it was back on again. And now, according to director Peter Farrelly, it's "100% guaranteed that it's a possibility." They're in talks with Warner Bros. for the sequel - titled 'Dumb and Dumber To' - and want Channing Tatum and Emma Stone to join Carrey and Jeff Daniels.
You would think that a movie starring Hugh Jackman, Kate Winslet, Emma Stone, Halle Berry, Elizabeth Banks, Jason Sudeikis, Seth MacFarlane, Richard Gere, Josh Duhamel, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris wouldn't have a hard time finding an audience. But things haven't been easy for 'Movie 43,' the sketch comedy movie that started filming back in 2010. Despite the all-star cast, the movie won't have any preview screenings before it opens in theaters on Friday. But to help convince you that this might be a funny movie, they've released on of the 'Movie 43' sketches online in full and you can watch it right now.
'Man of Steel' will feature a post-credits scene cameo from Joseph Gordon-Levitt who will introduce himself as the new Batman! That was the sexy rumor from late-2012 and the explanation for how Warner Bros. would kickstart the 'Justice League' buzz. Unfortunately it's not true.
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' should be on DVD by now but after the film was delayed at the last-minute from its June, 2012 release date, we're only now gearing up to see the 'G.I. Joe' sequel in theaters. 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' finally hits theaters this March and to get you excited, this Friday you can see 4 minutes of 3D footage in theaters with 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.' Not all that excited about paying to see 'Hansel and Gretel?' That's OK, you can preview the new footage right now.
'The Princess Bride' is known for many famous lines, perhaps the most famous of which is the classic, "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." It's quoted and repeated and even reprinted on t-shirts. But you might not want to wear your Inigo Montoya shirt on your next airplane flight lest you wind up like poor Wynand Mullins whose 'Princess Bride' t-shirt was deemed a security risk. Inconceivable!
'Man of Steel' has a villain any Superman fan will recognize: General Zod. Played by Oscar-nominee Michael Shannon, Zod was famously seen in 'Superman II' and introduced the classic line, "Kneel before Zod!" But is there another Superman bad guy in 'Man of Steel?' One that the filmmakers are trying to keep quiet? There very well may be and that top secret villain may have been spoiled with details on the new 'Man of Steel' toy line. Potential spoilers ahead...
Sorry Bat-fans. If you were looking for a new Batman movie some time soon, you're going to get disappointed. It looks like we won't see a 'Dark Knight' reboot for quite a while. So what's the hold up?
