The 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.

It 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...
During a recent interview with MTV News, Michael Cera refuted rumors that he was the lone hold-out on an "Arrested Development" movie. At least one man at the top agrees. Speaking with MTV, Ron Howard laughed off any sign of worry that Michael Cera won’t be onboard for a big-screen feature. Despite the long-gestating nature of the project, the “Frost/Nixon” director remained positive.
“There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm within the cast,” said Howard. Asked if he thought the original “Arrested Development” cast would be reassembled for the film, he was optimistic. “I think so. I haven’t spoken to everybody, but everybody loved doing the show.” Read more...

Recently at Sundance, we bumped into Eighties icon Ralph Macchio and brought you his first thoughts on Will Smith's upcoming “Karate Kid” remake. But while we played in the snow with the original Daniel-san, we were also eager to get his thoughts on the recent news that Mr. Miyagi is going to be played by…Jackie Chan?
“I don’t know,” sighed the now 47-year-old star, in town to promote his Slamdance flick “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead." “I think Jackie Chan, we all assumed that’s where they were going to go - unless they were thinking of just casting an unknown.” Read more...
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...
Playing the most vicious man in "Watchmen" just might have influenced Jeffrey Dean Morgan's dark side. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan has signed on to star opposite Hilary Swank in "The Resident."
As we reported earlier, Swank will play a young doctor who finds the perfect loft apartment, but begins to feel a little creeped out in her new home. It turns out she's not alone, and that her handsome and charming landlord is spying on her. He's become obsessed with her, and begins stalking her in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game which can only end badly. Read more...
If "300" left you desperate for Old World, over-the-top carnage, you're in luck. According to The Hollywood Reporter, director Neil Marshall ("Doomsday") will finally be moving forward with "Centurion." He's landed two ex-Spartans for it too -- Michael Fassbinder and Dominic West have both signed on to star alongside Bond girl Olga Kurylenko. Eye candy for the girls and the boys both!
Marshall penned the script, which is being described as a thriller set during the Roman invasion of Britain in 117 A.D. It's centered on one Quintus Dias, the sole survivor of a Roman frontier fort that was raided by the Picts. He joins the legendary Ninth Legion, led by General Virilus, who are marching under orders to eliminate the entire Pictish race and their leader, Gorlacon. Read more...

UPDATE: Click here to watch the "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" Super Bowl ad!
Transformers fan-favorite characters the Dinobots aren't headed to the big screen in the upcoming "Transformers" sequel, but that doesn't mean they're headed for extinction.
In an interview with MTV, longtime Transformers comics scribe Simon Furman -- who also served as consultant on 2007's Michael Bay-helmed movie -- confirmed that, contrary to initial fan speculation, the upcoming "Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen," will be Dinobot-free.
"I think that possibility was raised briefly and fairly comprehensively shot down," said Furman. "Much as I love the Dinobots, I'm glad." Read more...
