FROM MTV NEWS: Listen, we're just as excited about "The Dark Knight Rises" as you are. We've tracked the increasing clarity of Bane's voice. We've scoured every frame of the trailer for clues. Most importantly, we've been counting down the days until July 20, and frankly, that's just too far away.
So how does June 3 sound? That's the date we will be premiering exclusive footage from Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy at the MTV Movie Awards live on MTV. It will be your best opportunity to catch a glimpse at the summer's most anticipated film before the July release date.
If the allure of the golden popcorn wasn't enough for you before, now you have no other choice but to check out the MTV Movie Awards live on Sunday, June 3 at 9 p.m. ET.
For the rest of the details about the "Dark Knight Rises" footage, head over to MTV News!
At long last, we have an actual look at Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger on the set of "The Tomb" and they look, well, their age.
Entertainment Tonight aired a video report of their "The Tomb" set visit, and in it we see Schwarzenegger and Stallone looking a bit grayer than we've ever seen them before. We like the wizened looks, and it seems like it's in keeping with the movie's plot.

He's baaaaaaaaaack. No, we're not talking about Mr. Schwarzenegger. We're talking about Jon Favreau, of course. He's making his return to Marvel for "Iron Man 3"! While he won't be directing the three-quel, he's reprising his role as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard and side-kick.

The story line for the third film is currently being kept under wraps, so we're not certain how large his part will be. He appeared in the first film for a cameo with a more fleshed out part in the second movie—perhaps he'll be essential to the third?

Few movies have us more intrigued than "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter." With a title like that, you know exactly what you're going to get: the sixteenth president of the United States going stake to fang against a pack of blood-suckers. Doesn't get more awesome than that.
Ahead of the film, Fox launched an official "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" Art Contest some weeks ago, with producer Tim Burton personally selecting the winner of the competition… and that winner has been selected: Shannon Brooks, the creator of the fantastic tribute to Honest Abe you see above you.
See Burton's selection and find out more about Shannon in the Q&A past the jump!

The "Men in Black" are back with the third installment of their popular franchise. The movie centers on our favorite men in black, Agent K and Agent J, as they trail a one-armed alien named Boris the Animal who escapes from his confined prison on the moon. K shot his arm off back in the sixties and Boris wants his revenge. He travels back in time to 1969 and kills K so that his arm is restored and the world is left unprotected from alien invasion. J must follow Boris to the past to save K's life and discover the secrets of the universe.
While critics suggest the franchise didn't need a third film, the three-quel is on par with the first "MIB" movie that sparked audiences' attention. It keeps its viewers entertained and will delight fans who loved the first flick. Here are our five reasons to see it this weekend.

Though "Only God Forgives," Nicolas Winding Refn and Ryan Gosling's follow-up to last year's head-explodingly-awesome first collaboration "Drive," was among some of the more painful omissions from this year's Cannes film festival, a short clip debuted during a mysterious screening at the fest.
Quint over at Ain't It Cool was among the lucky few who were able to catch a glimpse at the upcoming film, which follows Gosling as the son of a crime boss who must face off against a legendary cop after his brother gets into trouble.
The footage screened provided little context for the larger story overall, but, according to Quint, shared some stylistic qualities with "Drive," one being some intense violence.

When it comes to Wes Anderson, moviegoers fall neatly into two piles: those who love him, and those who’ve never heard of him. What’s that? His twee sensibilities are just a little too indie-quirky-cute for you? Well, “Moonrise Kingdom” may surprise even the most jaded viewers. Sure, it’s packed with Anderson’s trademark strand of oddball whimsy, but for the haters out there, you will find a well-acted and tightly written 90 minute movie with enough heart to melt the iceberg that resides in your frigid chest cavity.
For those of you who aren’t already picking up your Rushmore blazer from the dry cleaner to wear to the very first screening, here are five reasons to see “Moonrise Kingdom.”

Romance movies rarely offer a look behind closed doors. They'll show the couple on a pond ice skating in the winter or walking along the beach engaged in a conversation to define their relationship. But in this exclusive "Take This Waltz" clip, Michelle Williams and Seth Rogen mirror a married couple's everyday tasks as they have a small bout, following a scene of intimacy.
Williams plays Margot, a 28 year old freelance writer happily married to her husband Lou (Rogen). Their interaction in this clip sets up their visible love for each other. He looks affectionately at her saying, "I'm glad you're here." She treads over and wraps her arms around him as he's cooking breakfast. They end up in a giggly, playful embrace on the floor before things start to go south.

'Men In Black 3,' 'Moonrise Kingdom' And More: Double Feature Friday!
Posted 5/25/12 2:05 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Commentary, Double Feature Friday
This week in theaters, Tommy Lee Jones gets a little help from Josh Brolin, letting him do most of the Tommy Lee Jones-ing in "Men In Black 3," and Wes Anderson unveils his ode to Wes Anderson with "Moonrise Kingdom." If you're looking for wonderful cinematic pairings then look no further than Double Feature Friday!
"Men In Black 3" & "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada"
Tommy Lee Jones doesn't like a lot of things. I doubt he likes making "Men In Black" movies. He probably doesn't like you very much, but he does like making westerns. TLJ even directed his very own western in 2005 with "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada." Very much in the vein of a novel by Jones' favorite writer, Cormac McCarthy, "Three Burials" follows Pete Perkins, a rancher, who must fulfill a promise he made to his former employee Melquiades. When a border patrol agent kills old Mel, Pete kidnaps the agent (played by Barry Pepper) and forces him to come along on his journey to bury his friend in Mexico. The film received some minor praise in 2005 but went largely unseen.
