A 'New Moon' TV Spot Arrives, Complete With An Edward/Jacob Showdown

Posted 10/22/09 2:30 pm EST by in News


FROM MTV.COM: We're not even into November yet and the extended looks at "New Moon" continue to flood in on an almost daily basis. This week alone Summit Entertainment dropped 11 brand-new pics of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and others, plus a fresh clip that showed Stewart's Bella Swan going face-to-face with a shape-shifting werewolf. Continuing this streak of "New Moon" sneak peeks is a brand-new 30-second TV spot, which premiered during "Access Hollywood" on Wednesday, that showcases a number of vampire versus werewolf face-offs.

The ad gives us our first good look at Rachelle Lefevre's vampire Victoria in action. Flame-haired and steely-eyed, we see her standing in the woods as she stares down an approaching werewolf. She then pulls a super-fast 180 and takes off in the other direction as the hairy beast floods the frame. The shot then cuts to Victoria sprinting through the forest while the wolf charges behind her. Finally she leaps athletically into the air to escape her predator.

Marc Guggenheim Departs 'FlashForward' Leaving David Goyer As Sole Showrunner

Posted 10/22/09 2:00 pm EST by in Commentary, News


Just last month, producers David Goyer and Brannon Braga were touting their latest television effort "FlashForward" here on Movies Blog. Both viewers and critics alike mostly embraced the ABC series following the premiere — but flash-forward one month later to today, and the Joseph Fiennes/John Cho-starring series seems to have hit a significant snag.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, executive producer and co-showrunner Marc Guggenheim is abandoning his "FlashForward" post, leaving David Goyer as the sole showrunner. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: John Woo's 'Red Cliff' Clip Features Lot Of Flaming Arrows, Epic Warfare

Posted 10/22/09 1:30 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video


Lots of arrows flying in this clip, an exclusive from John Woo's "Red Cliff." Maybe not as many as there were in the 2002 Jet Li flick "Hero," but I would argue that they're used to better effect here. In this action-packed scene, our heroes storm a fortification under fire from flaming arrows and catapult projectiles. If you enjoy epic-scale warfare, you will enjoy this clip.

The best place to really absorb the scale of something like "Red Cliff" is in theaters, which you can do starting November 18. For those who absolutely can't wait, you can also check out the movie via Video OnDemand services, Amazon and Xbox Live starting today, October 22. So get on it.

Ol' Dirty Bastard May Be The Subject Of A Biopic, Wu-Tang Clan Honcho RZA Says

Posted 10/22/09 1:00 pm EST by in News


Before there was Big Baby Jesus, Dirt McGirt, or any number of other names he adopted through the years, there was Wu-Tang MC (and occasional producer) Ol' Dirty Bastard. Real name: Russell Tyrone Jones. Dirty left us in 2004, dead from a drug overdose just two days before his 36 birthday. Whatever fans may have thought of his increasingly erratic behavior, he was always a talented performer and one of the Wu-Tang Clan's most powerful creative energies.

It's a compelling story, the life of Ol' Dirty Bastard. Enough for a biopic even, at least according to Wu-Tang frontman RZA. In an interview with The A.V. Club, the entertainment everyman said "We have talked about [an Ol' Dirty biopic]." The biggest obstacle right now appears to be a legal one. "His estate is pretty confused, like any estate is in our country," RZA explained. "The estate is kind of confused on what to do, and all the rights and all that s--t, but it’s definitely been talked about." Read More...

Adam Lambert 'Inspired' By Michael Jackson, Can't Wait For 'This Is It'

Posted 10/22/09 12:30 pm EST by in News


FROM MTV.COM: During season 8 of "American Idol," Adam Lambert became known for blurring boundaries, mixing elements of pop, '70s glam rock, metal, musical theater and more into his live performances. It's just that capacity to take risks that he so admires in Michael Jackson, whose "This Is It" documentary hits theaters on October 28.

"[H]is music so groundbreaking because he really brought a lot of rock into [it]," Lambert, who grew up listening to MJ and watching his videos, told MTV News. "He had initially set himself up with this R&B presence and he brought so much rock into it and I think it was really groundbreaking how he fused all those different styles together in a pop format. I'm very inspired by that musically."

'Star Wars' Trilogy Rumor Hilarity Today Around The Blogosphere

Posted 10/22/09 12:00 pm EST by in Around the Blogosphere


Today's look Around the Blogosphere is an unusual one, since it's pegged to news. Sort of. The rumor of a third, all-3D "Star Wars" trilogy was clearly going to be debunked, and quickly. Let's start at the beginning...

--"3D Motion Pictures Blog" MarketSaw posted yesterday that the folks at Lucasfilm have gotten it into their heads to do another "Star Wars" trilogy. Entirely in 3D. With franchise architect George Lucas stepping back into a production role. In short, a "Star Wars" junkie's happiest dream. All from a "trusted source." It's hard to swallow though, especially given MarketSaw's rumormill track record. (MarketSaw) Read More...

'Spider-Man 4' And 'Venom' Links, From Our EXCLUSIVE Sam Raimi Interview

Posted 10/22/09 11:30 am EST by in News


FROM SPLASH PAGE: We might know who the villains are in "Spider-Man 4" or whether Sam Raimi will be back for "Spider-Man 5" and "Spider-Man 6," but when it comes to the connection between the "Spider-Man" franchise and a potential "Venom" movie, well...

Okay, Raimi couldn't give us much on that question, either.

But we did ask the celebrated director about how the two universes will connect, if at all, when Spider-Man's black-clad nemesis swings off into his own solo movie.

Charlize Theron And Tom Hardy Could Join 'Mad Max' Beyond The Thunderdome

Posted 10/22/09 11:00 am EST by in News


The complete and utter collapse of George Miller's planned "Justice League" adaptation hasn't kept the filmmaker down for too long. Why should it, especially when the Australian director has more "Mad Max" adventures up his sleeve?

A fourth outing in the post-apocalyptic "Mad Max" universe has been in the works for several years with casting rumors aplenty. And DE-casting, in the case of franchise lead Mel Gibson. Today brings word of the highest-profile casting gossip to date for the looking-increasingly-likely sequel. Read More...

'Star Trek' Halloween Tips From Hollywood Crush!

Posted 10/22/09 10:30 am EST by in Commentary


FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Welcome back to Dress Like A Movie Star Week here on Hollywood Crush. We're continuing to bring you Halloween costume ideas inspired by some of the most outrageous, colorful and downright awesome characters on the big screen in 2009. We know your wallets aren't exactly being filled by a money tree in your backyards these days, so we're going to try our darnedest to keep these costume ideas easy to create and easy on your bank account! Let the trick and treating begin!

We were green with envy when Rachel Nichols got to have a quick romp with the out-of-this-world hottie Chris Pine in this summer’s mega-hit "Star Trek." So, while Spock (Zachary Quinto) and Nyota (Zoe Saldana) may have been the intergalactic couple to make it work despite some interplanetary meanies trying to come between them, we think bad boy Capt. James Kirk (Chris) and Star Fleet cadet Gailia (Rachel) will make for far more interesting, not to mention eye-catching, couples costume (or solo, we don’t judge!) this Halloween.

We're not going to have you recreate your own Vulcan (though, hats off to you if you can pull that off!), but we so have some helpful hints (after the jump) to best capture the look of Kirk and Gailia. We’ve tried to make them as budget-friendly as possible (heck, times are probably tough on the USS Enterprise) and cool enough that you’ll (live long and) prosper this October 31st.

'Twilight' Actress Anna Kendrick Mocks George Clooney In This 'Up In The Air' Clip

Posted 10/22/09 10:00 am EST by in Video


In the clip below, we see the natural evolution of a young boy's pursuit of video game high scores to a career man's pursuit of frequent flyer high scores. "Up in the Air," directed by Jason Reitman, stars George Clooney as Ryan Bingham, a hard-traveling corporate soldier who has a singular goal. In the clip below, he shares that dream -- of earning 10 million frequent flyer miles -- with fellow traveler Natalie, played by "Twilight actress Anna Kendrick. Natalie wisely characterizes the pursuit as a grown man's pissing contest, which is exactly what it is when you get right down to it.
