Rooney Mara As Lisbeth Salander In 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo': First Official Photo!

Posted 1/12/11 2:55 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Photos

Rooney Mara in The Girl With the Dragon TattooA few weeks back, some grainy paparazzi pics of Rooney Mara dressed as Lisbeth Salander for David Fincher's "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" adaptation hit the Internet. They were hard to read and, frankly, a bit of a letdown. Today, however, fans of Stieg Larsson's "Millennium" trilogy are being treated to the real deal.

W magazine has just unveiled their new cover, offering the first official -- and, yes, sexy -- photo of Mara as the badass, lip-ring-sporting, tattoo-rocking investigator/computer hacker heroine. There are piercings, tattoos, blood and cleavage galore in this puppy, and anyone who's read the books must admit that Mara 100 percent looks the part.

Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway Among 6 Actresses Vying For 2 Roles In 'The Dark Knight Rises'

Posted 1/12/11 11:30 am EST by in Hot Stuff, News

Keira KnightleyBarring some sort of miracle, Maggie Gyllenhaal's (and Katie Holmes') Rachel Dawes, the only major female character from Christopher Nolan's first two Batman films, will not be returning for "The Dark Knight Rises." And so, Nolan's third and supposedly final flick about the Caped Crusader is in need of some good old-fashioned girl power... or at least a lady to tame some of that out-of-control testosterone that's surely in store.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "The Dark Knight Rises" will be getting just that in the form of not one but two beautiful leading ladies: one a villain and the other a love interest.

Posted 1/11/11 4:02 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News

Daniel Craig as James BondJames Bond fans will have 007 reasons to be grateful next Thanksgiving: MGM has given the suave superspy an official date of November 9, 2012, for his big-screen return, according to Deadline.

MGM had stated this fall that audiences could expect the next Bond adventure in November 2012, but this is the first time the company has given a firm date for the film. Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, the co-chairmen and chief executive officers of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, announced the film's release date, also confirming what has long been suspected: James Bond 23" film will unite Daniel Craig -- playing Bond for the third time following stints in 2006's "Casino Royale" and 2008's "Quantum of Solace" -- with director Sam Mendes ("American Beauty," "Road to Perdition").

Classic 'Harry Potter,' 'Twilight' And 'Inception' Scenes Recreated With Legos [PHOTOS]

Posted 1/11/11 2:48 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, News, Photos, Poll

There are some movie moments that are so unforgettable, so amazing that they become imprinted on our brain. But just in case our memories fade or get a little fuzzy from time to time, one man is immortalizing these iconic movie moments... by recreating them with Lego building blocks.

Twenty-two-year-old USC student Alex Eylar has put his 30,000-block Lego set to good use, constructing eerily on-the-money recreations of scenes from such flicks as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," "The Twilight Saga: New Moon" and "Inception."

Click here or on the photo above to see Lego recreations of Harry Potter's Quidditch showdown against Slytherin nemesis Draco Malfoy, a spot-on rendering of Edward, Bella and Jacob in the "Twilight: New Moon" poster, and a Arthur's (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) gravity-defying fight scene in "Inception." Kind of gives new meaning to the term "block-buster." Read More...

Jim Carrey Spoofs 'Black Swan' On 'SNL'

Posted 1/10/11 4:17 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, TV, Video

"Black Swan" and Jim Carrey might not sound like the ideal pairing of actor and material, but thanks to the "I Love You Phillip Morris" star's hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live," we now know that it's a match made in comedy heaven. Carrey spoofed Mila Kunis as Lily, aka the titular black swan, in a short, while Bill Hader played ballet instructor Tomas and Nasim Pedrad played Natalie Portman's Nina.

Let's just say that Carrey's Lily convinced us in several different ways that "she" was the best choice for the black swan. Somewhere between the buffalo wing tattoos on Carrey's back, the way he said "bitches" and the way he ate breadcrumbs (you know, like a real swan), we fell in love. Read More...

The 10 Best Movies of 2010

Posted 12/22/10 12:36 pm EST by in Best of 2010, Commentary, Hot Stuff, Photos

Best Movies of 2010

Like any other year, 2010 has had its share of good and bad -- in general and when it comes to movies. For every piece of filmmaking gold we discovered, there was a steaming cinematic turd to scrape from beneath our shoe. But since the holidays are upon us and I'm feeling generous, I'm going to embrace the spirit of the season, take the high road and bypass ragging on the critical, box-office and creative failures of the past year. Instead I want to focus on celebrating all that was groundbreaking, captivating and good in the movie world in 2010. And, perhaps surprisingly, there was a lot of good stuff in theaters this year.

'Gulliver's Travels' Stars Jack Black and Jason Segel Reveal The Secrets Of Comedy: Groin Shots!

Posted 12/20/10 3:10 pm EST by in After Hours, Hot Stuff, Humor, Video

Jack Black and Jason Segel are arguably two of the funniest men working in movies right now. Black has been a fixture on the comedy scene for many years, lending his unique brand of manic humor to films from "High Fidelity" to "School of Rock" to the animated "Kung Fu Panda." Segel, meanwhile, has earned his funnyman stripes on the TV show "How I Met Your Mother" and in the recent flicks "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "I Love You, Man." He's also the guy pulling the strings of the upcoming, cameo-laden and much-buzzed-about "Muppets" movie (in which Black co-stars).

With Black and Segel's modern-day comedic adaptation of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" hitting theaters Christmas Day (December 25), MTV's Josh Horowitz asked the duo to educate him in the art of being funny. The result is the extremely amusing video "Humor: A Comedic Exploration," in which the funnymen impart pearls of wisdom such as these: Rainbow-colored clown wigs are highly comical, and going sans pants equals instant laughs (something Segel knows plenty about from his "Sarah Marshall" days). But more than anything else, Segel and Black wanted to emphasize that the best kind of comedy springs forth from the loins... as in the literal groin area. Read More...

'Family Guy' Exclusive: Watch Nine Minutes Of The 'Return Of The Jedi' Parody 'It's A Trap!'

Posted 12/20/10 1:13 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Trailers, Video

Family Guy: It's a Trap!Tossing zingers at "Star Wars" is old hat for "Family Guy" and its creator Seth MacFarlane. The edgy Fox series has already poked fun at the first two installments in George Lucas' original sci-fi trilogy with "A New Hope" and "Empire Strikes Back" parodies titled "Blue Harvest" (a reference to the original working title of the first "Star Wars" film) and "Something, Something, Something, Darkside" (a reference to, well, nothing), respectively.

Both spoofs have been gargantuan hits, both on TV and DVD -- so it doesn't take a Jedi with an off-the-charts metachlorian count to see why MacFarlane and co. have decided to round out their very own trilogy with the "Return of the Jedi" parody "It's a Trap!" (which, by the by, derives its named from the famous line uttered by General Ackbar in the film).

The one-hour long movie hits DVD and Blu-ray on Tuesday, December 21, but you don't have to wait until tomorrow for your first look at "It's a Trap!" MTV has exclusively nabbed nine minutes of footage from the flick, including the opening four-plus minutes. Check out the clips after the jump! Read More...
