'Conan The Barbarian': Where's The Khal Drogo Movie?

Posted 8/19/11 9:35 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Commentary, Humor

Jason Momoa certainly has mastered the art of playing butt-kicking, half-naked, long-haired savages, as proven by this weekend's "Conan the Barbarian." But, as excited as we are here at MTV Movies Blog, we couldn't help wonder what a movie about his other recent brutish leading role would look like.

Blame it on our "Game of Thrones" withdrawals, but with "Conan" coming out this weekend I couldn't resist trying to dream up what "Khal Drogo: The Movie" would look like. Sure, he may or may not be coming back next season, but if the great Khal had his own prequel spin-off big screen action romp, it probably would look something like this...

Rooney Mara And Daniel Craig Meet In New 'Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' Stills

Posted 8/19/11 8:56 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Photos

Two new stills from "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" have hit the web, though we still haven't seen the titular dragon tattoo yet. Come on!

The first shows Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander and Daniel Craig as Mikael Blomkvist poring over some papers that very likely have to do with the Vanger case that sits at the film's center. Unfortunately there's not much context to go off of, but this could be the scene where Mikael visits Lisbeth for the first time and tries to recruit her to helping him solve the Vanger case. Regardless, it's nice to see the two of them in the same still together, since it's their dynamic that we are most looking forward to.

New 'Breaking Dawn' Photos Tease Edward And Bella's Honeymoon

Posted 8/18/11 5:15 pm EST by MTV Movies Team in Photos

FROM MTV MOVIES: Fans were already invited to Bella and Edward's "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1" wedding, and now, new photos are giving a sneak peek at the hotly anticipated honeymoon.

Chess game on the beach of Isle Esme? Check. Scantily clad swimming sessions under a waterfall? Check. Bella's realization that she's pregnant with a half-vampire, half-human baby? Absolutely. Summit certainly didn't skimp with this round of stills, which includes some of the pics featured in last week's Entertainment Weekly.

Judging by the photos, viewers can expect plenty of romancing during the "Breaking Dawn" honeymoon. First, there's the moonlit naked rendezvous that was teased at Comic-Con, and these stills show off another sexy trip into the water. Kristen Stewart certainly appears to be enjoying herself in the first picture, but it looks like she and Robert Pattinson are being interrupted by an unwelcome visitor in the second.

Robert Redford's star-studded period drama "The Conspirator" is out on DVD this week and for the non-history buffs who might have missed it in the theaters, there's more than a few reasons to check out the story of Mary Surratt, the first woman in the U.S. to receive the death penalty.

The film, which is inspired by a true story, stars Robin Wright, James McAvoy, Kevin Kline and Evan Rachel Wood, with whom MTV News recently spoke about the significance of the film.

'Underworld: Awakening' Trailer: A Whole New Supernatural World

Posted 8/18/11 4:33 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Trailers

The world has changed since Kate Beckinsale last starred in an "Underworld" flick, and now it's time for her to catch up with "Underworld: Awakening."

It may have only been five years since "Underworld: Evolution" hit theaters, but on the big screen 12 years have passed. The newly released trailer for "Underworld: Awakening" says that Selene has been held captive for more than a decade, though she has now escaped to wreak havoc on the world. The problem is that, in this world, humans hunt vampires and lycans, making this a "new war" as she says.

But something else has been released as well, adding an extra layer to the plot. And, as Selene asks, where is her former flame Michael?

'Dark Knight Rises': Anne Hathaway's Cute Cat Playlist

Posted 8/18/11 2:39 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Humor

Considering the recent track record for live action attempts at capturing Catwoman on screen (sorry Halle Berry), it makes sense that "The Dark Knight Rises" star Anne Hathaway did her research for the role by watching cat videos on YouTube instead of studying previous Catwoman incarnations.

In a recent interview, Hathaway said that originally one of the assistant directors on the flick had tried to convince her to adopt a cat and have it live with her so she could "observe it," but then realized that was an awful idea (she couldn't keep the cat!).

Fortunately there's the Internet, and Hathaway turned to YouTube for help. Hathaway says she just watched a National Geographic video to inspire her performance, but we think there's no way she could have avoided spending hours upon end watching funny cat videos on YouTube. That's why we took the time and effort to dream up Anne Hathaway's Kitty Research Playlist.

Very suitable for work hilarity begins after the jump.

Not Dead Yet: 'The Lone Ranger' And 'The Dark Tower' Still Fighting For Survival

Posted 8/18/11 1:49 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News

Johnny Depp The diagnosis isn't quite so grim as we might have thought on cancelled film projects "The Lone Ranger" and "The Dark Tower."

Bad news first: The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Gore Verbinski and the folks with "The Lone Ranger" have been trying to resolve the budget crisis that led Disney to pull the plug on the flick, but it might be to no avail. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" director managed to drop the film's planned budget from $244 million to $242 million, but Disney wants it to be closer to $220. That will involve some cutbacks from the cast and crew that THR doesn't think they're willing to make. Still, negotiations are negotiations, and there might be some wiggle room to get this Johnny Depp-starring movie off the ground.

Fortunately, things are looking up for Ron Howard's "The Dark Tower" adaptation.

Ridley Scott To Direct New 'Blade Runner' Movie

Posted 8/18/11 12:46 pm EST by Josh Wigler in News

Blade Runner Never let it be said that Ridley Scott isn't afraid to break his own toys.

After diving back into the "Alien" pool with next summer's mysteriously connected "Prometheus," Scott is setting himself up to revisit another one of his most beloved properties: "Blade Runner." Deadline reports the surprising news that not only is Scott producing the recently announced "Blade Runner" continuation, he'll be directing it as well.

Like "Prometheus," it remains unclear whether or not "Blade Runner" will be a prequel, sequel or a reboot. But when the project was first announced, Alcon Entertainment's Andrew Kosvoe made it clear that Scott's "blessing to do what we're doing is very important to Alcon."
