'Faster' Star Dwayne Johnson Thoughtfully Ponders Kicking Some Ass In MTV's Fall Preview

Posted 8/31/10 3:51 pm EST by in Fall Preview, Photos


MTV's Fall Preview week of exclusives continues today with a look at the hottest upcoming movies of the next four months. We know what you should see and why you should see it, and we've got it all right here. Keep it locked to MTV News and MTV Movies Blog for continued updates throughout the week!

What It's Called: "Faster"

What It's About: Two brothers are in on a heist gone wrong: one is killed, the other ends up in jail. Years later, the surviving bro is released back into the world with nothing but vengeance on his mind. Standing in his way are a cop and a hitman.

Who's In It: Dwayne Johnson, Carla Gugino, Jennifer Carpenter, Maggie Grace, Moon Bloodgood, Billy Bob Thornton and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje. Directed by "Notorious" helmer George Tillman Jr.

Why You Should Care: C'mon folks, I don't need to spell this one out. It's Dwayne Johnson -- wrestling's The Rock -- kicking ass and probably not taking names. If you're not a fan of Johnson then you have no soul. No action hero is more lovable.

'Saw 3D' Brings Bloody, Gruesome Justice In MTV's Fall Preview

Posted 8/31/10 1:30 pm EST by in Fall Preview, Photos


MTV's Fall Preview week of exclusives continues today with a look at the hottest upcoming movies of the next four months. We know what you should see and why you should see it, and we've got it all right here. Keep it locked to MTV News and MTV Movies Blog for continued updates throughout the week!

What's It Called: "Saw 3D"

What It's About: Jigsaw is back! Well... sort of. His legacy remains intact, and someone's out to keep it alive. All while his (admittedly few) survivors gather, looking for support from a self-help guru. Of course, knowing "Saw," nothing will turn out as it first seems.

Who's In It: Tobin Bell , Cary Elwes, Costas Mandylor, Betsy Russell, Sean Patrick Flanery, Bobby Dagen and Gina Holden. From the same writer/director team behind "Saw VI": Kevin Greutert helming, Marcus Dunstan and Patrick Melton writing.

Why You Should Care: This is supposedly the last "Saw" movie ever! Or at least until someone decides to do a Jigsaw origin story, which could be pretty cool. Also, Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington (pictured above) makes a cameo as "Unannounced victim." Sweet.

Angelina Jolie And Johnny Depp Lead 'The Tourist' In MTV's Fall Preview

Posted 8/31/10 11:45 am EST by in Fall Preview, Photos


MTV's Fall Preview week of exclusives continues today with a look at the hottest upcoming movies of the next four months. We know what you should see and why you should see it, and we've got it all right here. Keep it locked to MTV News and MTV Movies Blog for continued updates throughout the week!

What's It Called: "The Tourist"

What It's About: An American named Frank heads to Italy after his heart is broken. There he meets Elise, a sexy foreigner with a dark history which she can't seem to shake. Frank pursues Elise, not realizing until it's too late that he's just one player in a much more elaborate plot.

Who's In It: Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp star; they're joined by Paul Bettany, Rufus Sewell and Timothy Dalton. "The Lives of Others" director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck directs.

Why You Should Care: Donnersmarck hasn't directed a film since 2006's "The Lives of Others," which won a much-deserved Oscar (among other awards). Jolie and Depp need very little introduction, and getting the chance to see how their chemistry sizzles in their first starring roles together should be all the prodding you need to buy a ticket.

Posted 8/30/10 12:52 pm EST by in Photos


It would be tough to call this "Fall Preview week" if we didn't have something to share with you from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," unarguably one of the most anticipated releases of the season. And here's your taste: Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) exploring... somewhere? Malfoy Manor, perhaps? I haven't read the book since it was first released; help me out, fellow Potter fans!

EXCLUSIVE: George Clooney Looking Very Serious In This Still From 'The American'

Posted 8/27/10 3:08 pm EST by in Photos


"The American" is in theaters next Wednesday, from acclaimed music video director Anton Corbijn in his feature debut. George Clooney stars as an assassin who heads to Italy for one last assignment. As you might expect, things do not go according to plan. I honestly haven't heard much about this one, but it looks like a good time.

Consider this to be a taste of what is to come next week during MTV Movies' official Fall Preview week. We'll be looking at some of the biggest upcoming releases of the next few months, including exclusive peeks at "The Social Network," "Black Swan," "Devil" and much, much more.

Mads Mikkelson Looking Crazy In 'The Three Musketeers' In Lieu Of Today's Daily TwitPic

Posted 8/27/10 10:49 am EST by in Photos


Whether you know it or not, filmmaker Paul WS Anderson is working on a 3D telling of "The Three Musketeers." It's got a pretty wacky cast, one that features Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Milla Jovovich, Orlando Bloom, Ray Stevenson, Matthew Macfadyen, Luke Evans, Juno Temple, James Corden... and Mads Mikkelsen. You'll remember him from the Bond reboot flick "Casino Royale" as the villainous, bloody-teared Le Chiffre.

He's not playing such a nice guy in "The Three Musketeers" either: Rochefort, one of the main antagonists. ComingSoon.net has some great set photos of him, as well as of Anderson and Lerman. While the Rochefort of the original Alexandre Dumas novel had both of his eyes, Christopher Lee appeared as the character in a 1973 adaptation (and two sequels) with an eyepatch. Subsequent visions of Rochefort have often featured him in an eyepatch as well, up to and including Mikkelsen. Check out the full image after the jump and head over to ComingSoon for more, including shots of Lerman and Anderson. Read More...

Sean Penn Channels The Cure's Robert Smith For 'This Must Be The Place'

Posted 8/25/10 11:45 am EST by in News, Photos


The Cure's Robert Smith is a scary-looking dude. But Sean Penn AS Robert Smith? Whoa.

Technically, Penn isn't playing Smith. But dlisted rightly notes the resemblance in the collection of set photos they've posted. I dropped one of the images below, alongside a closeup of the actual Smith. Click it to check out dlisted's full gallery.

Wacky, right? The movie actually has nothing to do with The Cure. The Paolo Sorrentino written and directed film instead focuses on Penn's aging rock star and his quest to locate his father's killer, an ex-Nazi who is hiding out in the United States. It sort of just keeps getting better and better, right?

"The Last Exorcism" is out on Friday and we're pretty excited about it here at MTV. The movie is great, so much so that I'm devoting a full week of coverage to it on the blog. Yesterday we had a great feature with comments from an actual demonologist about the realities of conducting an exorcism. Today I've got a pair of exclusive stills for you from the movie, which you can check out below.

One more image after the jump. I've also got details on the rest of what we've got planned for this week. There's some seriously awesome stuff, culminating in Friday's Twitterview with Eli Roth. Hit the jump to find out. Read More...

M. Night Shyamalan Cradles MTV's Josh Horowitz... But WHY?!

Posted 8/23/10 3:39 pm EST by in Photos


The image below is deeply disturbing. I've been sworn to secrecy as far as the details go, but you'll find out soon enough. M. Night Shyamalan does have "Devil" coming out soon, a movie that he produced and conceived. Could this image have something to do with that? Was Josh so frightened by what he saw that Shyamalan had to swoop in and comfort him?

I can't say. You can feel free to speculate though. You'll all find out soon enough.

'The Expendables' Storm The New York Stock Exchange

Posted 8/19/10 12:09 pm EST by in News, Photos


If the market tanks today, you know who's to blame. All work at the New York Stock Exchange ground to a halt early this morning as Sylvester Stallone and his "Expendables" co-stars invaded Wall Street's hallowed ground.

They came to celebrate their #1 movie and to ring the exchange's opening bell, but what Sly, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren and Terry Crews really accomplished was distracting traders and analysts from doing their jobs. Given the sorry state of our nation's economy, these number-crunchers were probably thankful for the diversion.

For his part, Stallone confessed that he was hoping to for a bit of financial advice. "We went to the bank, they turned down our credit," Stallone joked with MTV News. "So we thought we'd go to the source. That's why we're here. Not to promote a movie. It's to get a house loan."
