In addition to our handy-dandy Shockwave guide, a brand new image of the robotic menace has debuted alongside some fresh new details.

More "Bridesmaids" Action
Proving that there is justice in the world and sometimes we do get happy endings, Deadline reports that Judd Apatow and Paul Feig—the team that produced and directed the surprisingly successful and wildly hilarious "Bridesmaids"—are reuniting for a new untitled comedy. No details yet, but it's never too early to start pulling for a "Bridesmaids" sequel!
Fuqua Practices His "Southpaw"
"Training Day" director Antoine Fuqua is zeroing in on the director's chair for "Southpaw," the boxing drama starring Eminem. The Los Angeles Times reports that the deal isn't finalized yet, but if Fuqua signs on for "Southpaw," it calls his attachment to the developing Tupac biopic into question.
"Super" Acting Skills
A brand new clip from "Super 8" has emerged by way of MSN, focusing on the build-up to that infamous train wreck you've seen thousands of times already, which is completely fine by our count; the real highlights here are the kids, specifically Elle Fanning, who captivates the young boys' hearts with a powerful (and, contextually, hilarious) monologue.
