The first six minutes of Zack Snyder's latest have hit the Internet, and they're definitely something of a sucker punch.

Against a narration that speaks of silent guardians and angels, the opening minutes of "Sucker Punch" show how leading lady Emily Browning ends up at Lennox House mental institution. In true Snyder tradition, there are copious amounts of awesome music -- a remix of Eurythmics' "Sweet Dreams" -- and slow motion used in the best possible combination.

After the jump, check out the first photos of "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," find out which Hollywood actors are turning gangster and learn the first details of the "Transporter" TV series.

The young stars of "Harry Potter" would be hard-pressed to say that they were anything but lucky to be cast in the series 10 years ago.

But that doesn't mean that they never had hopes and dreams to follow different career paths. In an exclusive clip from the "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" DVD/Blu-Ray, MTV has a first look at what Rupert Grint and Tom Felton think about how "Harry Potter" has affected their lives.

The video includes a cute bit where Felton asks Grint what he would be doing if he had never been cast as Ron Weasley. Hint: it involves his ice cream truck.

Who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh?

Zooey Deschanel asks that very important question in her adorable little behind-the-scenes video about the music she created for Disney's upcoming "Winnie the Pooh" movie. The answer is fairly obvious, of course (no one, in case you were wondering), but it comes paired with an equally appropriate question: "Who doesn't love Zooey Deschanel?"

The She & Him singer seems the perfect match for Disney's latest flick taking place in the Hundred Acre Wood, appropriately titled "Winnie the Pooh." In the video, Deschanel performs her song "So Long" amidst animated music notes and Pooh and Tigger. And then she goes on and tries to say that Pooh is the cuddly and adorable one.

"It's basically a movie about friendship, which is what 'Winnie the Pooh' is all about," Deschanel explains.

For any of those Justin Timberlake skeptics that are still left out there (in which case...hide your shame!) his performance in the upcoming and very R-rated comedy "Bad Teacher" is about to prove them wrong. In fact, no one is more certain of his talents than his co-star in the film (and his ex) Cameron Diaz.

During a chat with MTV News, Diaz, who joked she'd seen Timberlake's work prior to this movie, said of the singer-turned-actor's versatility, "I don't think Justin Timberlake is a hidden treasure of comedy any longer. I think he sort of burst that bubble a long time ago on 'SNL.'"

Even in his so-called retirement, it appears that Leonard Nimoy is both living long and prospering.

With the DVD of “Tron: Legacy” hitting shelves next week (April 5), fans are in for a load of new material – but that’s not all they have to look forward to.

Next year, "Tron" lovers can tune in to Disney XD and see the next chapter in the epic sci-fi franchise when the animated series “Tron: Uprising” makes its debut. The 10-part series is set between the time of the first film and last December’s “Tron: Legacy,” showing the titular Tron training a new program to take up his cause. For actor Bruce Boxleitner, it’s a long-overdue chance to fill in this missing chapter for the franchise and his character.

“In this story, Tron is a much more battle-hardened warrior than you’ve seen before,” the veteran actor tells MTV News. “It’s like 'The Mask of Zorro' where he’s looking for a young one to train and to have that master-student relationship.”

Justin Bieber's already told you to never say never, and he's living up to that motto by following his massively successful documentary with his first scripted big-screen role — opposite Ashton Kutcher, no less!

The Los Angeles Times reports that Bieber and Kutcher are joining forces for "What Would Kenny Do?," a buddy movie that focuses on a teenager (Bieber) who is helped through the ordeals of high school living by a 30-something hologram (Kutcher) claiming to be the adult version of himself. If that doesn't sound like a winning combination to you, we're clearly not on the same page.

In fact, we're so into the idea of Bieber and Kutcher's looming team-up that we couldn't help ourselves from thinking about some other classic buddy movies they would reinvent with stunning success.

After weeks of speculation, we finally know what Arnold Schwarzenegger's first entertainment endeavor post-governorship is going to be — and it was staring us in the face all along.

No, it's not a new "Terminator" flick, nor is it a role in the "Avatar" sequel. Instead, Schwarzenegger is keeping his political status firmly intact, with a twist: he is indeed "The Governator," his new comic book and animated superhero co-created by legendary Marvel Comics mastermind Stan Lee.

The character isn't just based on Arnold, he is Arnold: after leaving office, Schwarzenegger becomes a crime-fighter based out of his high-tech "Arnold Cave" hidden beneath his Brentwood home, where he designs strategies to take out the menacing Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-Cons, better known by the acronym — wait for it — "G.I.R.L.I.E. Men."

We still don't know much about Sam Raimi's mysterious forthcoming film, "Oz The Great And Powerful," but the fact that James Franco and Mila Kunis are set to star has our curiosity decidedly piqued. As such, when we stopped by the press day for "Your Highness" recently, we had to ask Franco for some details about the film, particularly what tone Raimi is taking with his trip into "Oz" and his thoughts on his co-star.

“It will have a lot of humor," Franco said, adding that he's very excited to work with Kunis on a big project. "I’ve done two small things with her. I’ve done something for Funny Or Die, a spoof of 'The Hills' TV show, and then we did a little scene in 'Date Night.' She’s great, I love working with her."

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is headed towards us on July 1, and Michael Bay doesn't want you to forget what you have to look forward to.

Three new photos (two from Spoiler TV, one from Collider) have surfaced from the upcoming movie, and they highlight the big, blockbuster action spectacle that the latest "Transformers" flick is sure to be. The one important thing they are sorely missing, though, are some big, transforming machines, but there's plenty of other hidden nuggets of fun inside the stills.

(Hint: we might have spoken too soon about there not being any transformers. See what we mean after the jump!)
