'G.I. Joe' Super Bowl Spot Revealed! Check Out Snake Eyes In Action

Posted 1/31/09 4:20 pm EST by in Uncategorized


The RockThe first official footage is finally out there for "G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra" and now it's up to you. Is this first sneak peek making you scream "Yo Joe, that's awesome!" or "No Joe! What the hell?!?" The thirty second spot set for a worldwide broadcast debut tomorrow night during the Super Bowl is available via a sneak peak over at Coming Soon right now.

So what do you think? The characters are all there. Sienna Miller is a sultry baroness. That's for sure. But what about Channing Tatum as Duke? Dennis Quaid as Hawk? Christopher Eccleston as Destro? Clearly the action is big (the poor Eiffel Tower...) and yes, Snake Eyes does a cool flip or two but what's your sense of the story? Can this possibly deliver the live-action Joe adventure we've all craved for so long?

Don't hold back. Tell us what you think.

Posted 1/30/09 4:43 pm EST by in News


Channing TatumIt looks like Channing Tatum is gunning for our next list of badass greats. He's racking up plenty of action roles, which some find surprising given his "Step Up" past. But come on -- would you actually dare to mock this guy for his dancing skills? I didn't think so.

According to Variety, Tatum is set to star in "The Brotherhood of the Rose," an adaptation of the David Morrell thriller. He'll play one of two orphans raised by a CIA operative, and trained to become an assassin. Both boys become targets themselves in a game of double-crossing and deadly espionage. Read More...

'Twilight' Cast Throw Support Behind Dakota Fanning At 'Push' Premiere: Red Carpet Recap

Posted 1/30/09 11:00 am EST by in Photos


We haven't heard a peep from the "Twilight" cast on the rumors that Dakota Fanning is being considered to play Jane in "New Moon." But, last night at Dakota's "Push" premiere actions spoke louder than words.

Now, let me be clear that this doesn't officially mean anything, but when almost the entire supporting cast of "Twilight" shows up to the premiere of "Push," which stars a certain blond haired starlet, it has to mean something! Right?

At the very least, it displays solidarity in their preference that Dakota get the role over Lucy Hale. Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Rachelle LeFevre and Edi Gathegi were all in attendance last night in Los Angeles, and although they didn't pose for photos with the "Push" star, they were all smiles and posed with each other. (Take a peek at select photos after the jump, and check out the whole "Push" premiere photo gallery here.) Read More...
