'Flight' Trailer: Denzel Washington Soars

Posted 6/7/12 9:36 am EST by Josh Wigler in News, Trailers

If a trailer for the newest Quentin Tarantino flick isn't enough movie goodness to start your day, let's raise the ante a bit: the brand new trailer for "Flight," director Robert Zemeckis' first live-action film in over a decade, has landed. Barely.

Denzel Washington stars in the movie as Captain Whitaker, an airline pilot who finds himself behind the wheel when a plane filled with passengers is going down. Against all odds, Whitaker is able to avert fiery collision, saving everyone's lives in the process. He's heralded as a hero, naturally, but a subsequent investigation into the circumstances of the plane crash reveal troubling secrets about Whitaker—secrets that could put him behind bars for the rest of his life.

Denzel Washington Takes 'Flight' On A Tight Budget

Posted 2/7/12 1:40 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Interviews, News, Video

With names like Denzel Washington and Robert Zemeckis attached to the upcoming film "Flight," you would normally expect big budget thrills along the lines of the director's previous work "Back to the Future." But according to Washington, the action will be there, but the budget may not be.

Washington told MTV News that he and Zemeckis made the film on a tigher budget than usual. "[Zemekis] did it on a shoestring budget, for him a shoestring budget," he said. "We made the movie for, I think, $32 million." For a movie that focuses on an A-list cast and a plane crash, that's discount filmmaking.

Posted 10/10/11 12:45 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

Johnny Depp is poised to star as yet another colorful author in the upcoming Dr. Seuss biopic.

He is reported to be producing the project, but is also considering playing beloved children's author, born Theodor Geisel, in the upcoming flick. Though the movie won't end up relying on CGI as much as, say, "Alice in Wonderland" did, the flick's producers did say that it will include some animated elements. Depp has already portrayed "Peter Pan" author J.M. Barrie and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" author Hunter S. Thompson on the big screen.

Denzel Washington's 'Flight' Is 12 Years In The Making

Posted 10/5/11 3:48 pm EST by Kara Warner in News

Although we're just getting into talks and screenings for this year's Oscar bait movies, it's never too early to start talking about next year's likely contenders, is it? Because Robert Zemeckis and Denzel Washington's "Flight" is sounding more and more like it will be one to watch out for next year.

When MTV News caught up with screenwriter John Gatins recently, he revealed that production begins next week and that it has taken him more than a decade to get the project off the ground.

"Oh man, we start filming next week. This movie for me has been 12 years getting to the screen. It took me forever and it really took Robert Zemeckis coming on, getting Denzel to do the movie, it’s like a fever dream for me because I’ve waited so long," he told us at the premiere of his latest movie, "Real Steel."

'Django Unchained' Replaces Kevin Costner With Kurt Russell

Posted 10/3/11 11:51 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" is getting a bit of a casting make-over.

First up, Kurt Russell is reuniting with his "Death Proof" director in the upcoming film. He'll be replacing Kevin Costner as the psychotic Ace Woody, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Also reuniting with the director is "Kill Bill's" Laura Cayouette, who THR reports will be playing Leonardo DiCaprio's widowed sister.

In related news, THR has learned that Christoph Waltz injured his pelvis during training for "Django Unchained," and that's why he was unable to attend the New York premiere of "Carnage" on Friday.

'The Guard': Brendan Gleeson's Got Guns In This Exclusive Clip

Posted 7/27/11 2:01 pm EST by MTV Movies Team in News

by Stefan Doyno

We know that Wednesday can sometimes be a slow crawl to the weekend, so we here at MTV Movies Blog are here to help you get through your hump-day with an exclusive clip from the upcoming dark comedy "The Guard."

"The Guard" tells the story of an unorthodox Irish policeman (played by Brendan Gleeson), who is teamed up with a straight-laced FBI agent (Don Cheadle, "Crash" and "Iron Man 2") to investigate an international cocaine-smuggling gang. If you're a Potter-Head, you'll recognize Gleeson from the "Harry Potter" series as Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody in "Goblet of Fire," "Order of the Phoenix" and the more recent "Deathly Hallows: Part 1."

So what exactly happens when you mix a confrontational cop, a quirky young boy, a dog, and a large bag of guns? A history lesson, apparently. Take a look at the exclusive clip below!

"The Guard" is written and directed by John Michael McDonagh and hits theaters on July 29. Tell us what you think of the clip in the comments section and on Twitter!

What Is Sundance? MTV's Josh Horowitz Finds Out In Latest After Hours Clip!

Posted 2/1/11 4:17 pm EST by Josh Wigler in After Hours, Hot Stuff, Humor, Video

What is Sundance? It's not a film festival, we'll tell you that much.

At least it wasn't entirely a film festival for MTV Movies managing editor Josh Horowitz, not this year. Unsatisfied with the simple definition of Sundance as a film fest, our fearless After Hours host took it upon himself to speak with the finest filmmakers and most talented actors that Park City had to offer, gauging each of their opinions on what Sundance really and truly is.

Their answers are surprising. As surprising as a swift kick to the junk from James Franco, Brendan Gleeson, Don Cheadle, and more. No, really -- watch the clip and you'll see.

Tell us what you think of the latest episode of "After Hours" in the comments section and on Twitter!
