'Scream 4' Will Play With Sequelitis, Horror Trends Of The Past Decade

Posted 4/29/10 11:56 am EST by in Commentary, News


"Scream 4" is now a little less than a year away, and we're starting to hear some things about it. Last night, Entertainment Weekly debuted a new teaser poster for the movie, featuring the tagline "New Decade, New Rules. They've also got a new interview with now-confirmed director Wes Craven to go along with it.

Specific plot revelations are minimal; Craven really only confirms that the setting -- at least in part -- will be the fictional town of Woodsboro, now shot in Michigan instead of northern California. There's much to take away from his vague comments and general observations, however. Reading between the lines leaves us much to think and speculate on. Read More...

'Iron Man 2' Star Mickey Rourke: Not A Fan Of Reading Scripts

Posted 4/29/10 10:55 am EST by in News


Mickey Rourke has had an interesting few years since he came back into the spotlight after his role in "Sin City." He received a Best Actor Oscar nom for his performance in "The Wrestler," he'll star opposite Megan Fox and Bill Murray later this year in "Passion Play" and he gets his super-villain on next week in "Iron Man 2." It's for that last reason that MTV's Josh Horowitz sat down with Rourke over the weekend for a chat. And what did he learn? The actor doesn't pore over his scripts. Check out the video below then head over to MTV Splash Page for the full report.

'Restore Stephen Baldwin' The Underlying Message Of Last Night's 'South Park,' 'Crippled Summer'

Posted 4/29/10 9:32 am EST by in Commentary


For the past two Wednesday nights, "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone managed to tap back into the sort of controversy that originally put them in league with Hollywood's edgiest creatives. Episodes "200" and "201" received a lot of press for (not really) portraying Muhammad, the founder of Islam, as a character. This is something which has been a no-no since 2005, when a Dutch newspaper was censored for the same reason, inciting a maelstrom of commentary and criticism.

After "201" was censored by the network, viewers attempting to stream it on the South Park Studios website were greeted with a message that the stream would be delayed due to some surprise, last-minute edits but they'd "be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it."

Well they were back last night. And it was something completely different. The underlying message? Don't do drugs. That, and Restore Stephen Baldwin. Read More...

Posted 4/28/10 3:12 pm EST by in Commentary


Yesterday we posted an exclusive four-minute clip to "The Human Centipede (First Sequence)"—which premieres today in limited release—in which the Mad Doctor explains his crazy plans to his unfortunate victims.

'The Hobbit' Pushed To 2012 And 2013, 'Gravity,' 'Dark Shadows,' Others Going IMAX

Posted 4/28/10 2:43 pm EST by in News


NOTE: This post has been corrected to reflect an error in the original press release. MTV was notified by a WB rep that the 2013 release date originally listed for "The Hobbit" was inaccurate.

Today brings word of a major partnership formed between Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX Corporation. A press release reveals that "up to 20" upcoming WB titles will be released in the giant-screen format between now and 2013, including "The Hobbit," "Superman," "Batman 3," "Dark Shadows," "Gravity" and more. Only a few of the titles listed -- and there are certainly more to come -- get release dates, but there's one set date that catches the eye: "The Hobbit" is hitting theaters in 2012 and 2013, respectively for parts one and two. For more details, check out the full report on MTV.com.

EXCLUSIVE: Don Cheadle's Miles Davis Biopic Not A 'Cradle-To-Grave Depiction,' Focusing On That Next

Posted 4/28/10 2:17 pm EST by in News


Legendary jazz trumpeter Miles Davis was a complex figure. He went through an incredible number of transformations in his life, and he pushed forward the genre of jazz music in almost indescribable ways. Don Cheadle, who next week replaces Terrence Howard as James Rhodes in "Iron Man 2," has been planning a biopic treatment of the musician's life for a number of years. MTV's Josh Horowitz asked the actor for an update at the weekend press junket for the Marvel flick, which hits theaters next Friday.

"The story is really not... a biopic per se," Cheadle said. "It's not attempting to be any cradle-to-grave depiction of [Miles'] life. It's more my take, as an artist, on what his music has meant. With wall-to-wall truth but not really much concerned about facts." Read More...
