But did you know a certain Detroit rapper will also be joining the crew?

That’s right: Marshall Mathers himself will be making an appearance in the film. You’ll have to wait until July 31 to see exactly why, but we’ve got the very first look at Eminem’s tableside chat with Sandler’s character, a dying stand-up comedian named George Simmons.

The folks behind the last three “Saw” films have another thriller in store for you, and it’s coming down the pike July 31. “The Collector” follows a handyman and ex-con who aims to dig up some scratch for his ex-wife by robbing his employer’s country home.

Naturally, things don’t go according to plan and our anti-hero finds himself trapped by a masked “Collector” who sets a series of traps that the studio describes as “the Spanish Inquisition as imagined by Rube Goldberg,” all while trying to rescue the very family he came to rob. Check out the poster below.

FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: What happens when a super nerdy high school valedictorian professes his love for the most popular girl in class?

She may be heading for “The Hills,” but before she does that Kristin Cavallari will be getting some higher education for the direct-to-video movie, “Van Wilder: Freshman Year.”

The original — starring Ryan Reynolds and Tara Reid — was a surprise hit when it premiered back in 2002, and since then we’ve seen a steady stream of sequels. “Freshman Year” takes us back to when Van was a newbie to the campus, and features Cavallari at the center of a love triangle.

Sure, “New Moon” has a script and all, but director Chris Weitz apparently trusts his young cast enough to let them go improv where it counts. That was the reaction budding hulk Taylor Lautner received when it came to his werewolf-fueled fight scenes. It also led to a new unlikely title for Lautner: action hero.

“A lot of things I had fun with was the action,” Lautner told us on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards. “I was always finding cool ways to put some action in Jacob’s role.”

Watch his entire chat in the video below, and don’t forget to head over to MTV.com for more red carpet highlights.

The MTV Movie Awards are nothing if not irreverent, and even more so when you’re dealing with live television. It’s that feeling of anything could happen that separates it from stuffy affairs like the Oscars or Golden Globes.

When you combine that with the flamboyantly gay fashion reporter Brüno, it’s…well, explosive. Such was the case when Brüno was slated to announce the Best Male Performance nominees. Suspended high above the audience, Brüno flew towards the stage, only to get tangled in wires and dropped squarely in the lap of Marshall Mathers himself, Eminem. A short scuffle and some cursing transpired, followed by an angry stampede from the building. Watch the moment in the video below.
