On Sunday night at the Video Music Awards, nearly three months after Michael Jackson passed away, MTV will unveil the first ever trailer from "This Is It," the behind-the-scenes look at the King of Pop's final days as he prepared for a series of comeback concerts in London.

The footage is truly amazing, filled with the fallen icon's classic tunes and eye-opening insight into his creative process. It's such remarkable stuff that we wanted to give you a sneak peek a day before the main event, which is why we've posted some snippets of the footage online.

In the teaser clip, you get an advance look at Jackson and his backup dancers in full "Thriller" costume, practicing a dance that will be familiar to any fan of the timeless music video. You'll see him busting familiar moves and generally bringing an all-business intensity to his performances. And then there are the costumes: Jackson in sunglasses and a bright-blue dress shirt, Jackson wearing sparkly gold pants and a silver jacket as he rocks out alongside a guitarist, Jackson in an all-white suit, Jackson in a blood-red shirt when he slides across the stage on his knees.

"This Is It" won't come out in theaters until October 28, but hit play on this video to check out the King of Pop in action. And be sure to tune in on Sunday at 9 p.m. ET to watch the full trailer.

Emma StoneZombies are inherently funny. Sure they eat brains and trigger global pandemics, but they lurch around more slowly than a legless dog, they're constantly bumping into things and the distant stare they all affect is more amusing than alarming. Straight-laced zombie horror flicks from the old school, before the walking dead learned how to run, continue to mystify me. Are these people really so stupid that they'll let themselves be caught that something my 10-years-dead hamster could outrun?

Zombie comedy, much better formula. Granted, the dead humans walking in Ruben Fleischer's "Zombieland" are the better, stronger, faster variety featured in more modern takes on the genre. Still, I'm looking forward to seeing how stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg ("Adventureland"), Emma Stone ("Superbad") and Abigail Breslin ("Little Miss Sunshine") deal with the hordes as they make their way across the country. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, I strongly recommend checking out the new trailer that popped up on Apple today.

2012Only Roland Emmerich can make mass death look pretty. He did in "Independence Day." "The Day After Tomorrow" too. Even "Godzilla" had its moments, interspersed between... well... I digress.

"2012" is the director's latest attempt to show us what the end of the world looks like. I know nothing of the plot, other than crap rains down from the skies and everything we know and love disappears in a flash of fire and smoke. Or a massive tidal wave. All depends on where you live, I guess.

Fine, I know a little more than that. One of the common end-of-the-world theories is that we're all screwed come 2012. That's where the Mayan calendar ends. In truth, that could mean any number of things. For Roland Emmerich however, there's only one possibility. We're all screwed. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

Christian Bale as John Connor in 'Terminator: Salvation'"Come with me if you want to live."

That's one of the lines you'll hear uttered during the shiny, new Internet-only trailer for "Terminator: Salvation." If you're up on your "Terminator" lore, you'll be happy to know that that line belongs to Anton Yelchin, who plays Kyle Reese. Actor Michael Biehn was the original Reese, and was the first to utter those words back in James Cameron's 1984 classic, "The Terminator."

Other highlights: Skynet robo-cycles, a decapitated T-800, more of the giant-sized robot seen in previous trailers, war-torn environments. Also, Christian Bale's John Connor looking very serious and very angry. And we all know the dangers of making Christian Bale angry.

You may know of Eric Bana, the acclaimed actor who starred in such big-budget movies as "Troy," "Hulk" and "Munich." And, you'll see him in "Star Trek" and "Funny People" this summer. But at the Tribeca Film Festival you'll also see his directorial debut: Eric Bana directs and co-stars in "Love the Beast" with, well, the Beast, Bana's life-long friend.

So who is this mysterious Beast? A 1974 Ford XB Falcon Coupe. Read more...

This certainly is a good week to be a "Harry Potter" fan. Last Friday a new international trailer surfaced online. Earlier this week there was news that the film's release date has been pushed up two days to July 15. Today we brought you the exclusive news that the "Deathly Hallows" epilogue will be shot with the original "Potter" cast, rather than with older actors.

But this is the biggest treat yet. Without further ado, please enjoy the brand new trailer from "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"!

As we know, David Yates, who directed "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" returns to direct "Half-Blood Prince," and will also helm the upcoming "Deathly Hallows" films. Yates' much appreciated humor shines through in this new trailer, which is jam-packed full of information. Read more...

A few weeks ago we brought you exclusive "How to Be" photos, over which Twilight fans everywhere swooned. Today, a brand new trailer from the comedy has hit Yahoo!. Robert Pattinson plays Art, a singer/songwriter who is having a self-proclaimed quarter-life crisis and seeks help from a Canadian self-help guru.

In the trailer, Pattinson is very down on his luck. His girlfriend breaks up with him, leaving him in denial. He gets fired ... from his volunteer job. He doesn't have any "realistic" career options, although he does have an upcoming gig that not even his family wants to attend. Having moved back in with his parents post-breakup, is the solution to enlist the help of famed "It's Not Your Fault" author Dr. Ellington to turn his life around? Or to just to be himself and work on his music? Read more...

Has there been a force of nature that's hit theaters in the way "Borat" did in the past three years? It was so unexpected. So unstoppable. So refreshing. Could Sacha Baron Cohen possibly have done it again? "Bruno" can't possibly be what "Borat" was. After all, this time we know what to expect -- anything and everything. Still, the first glimpse of "Bruno" is here and it's hard to say it doesn't deliver. What do you think?

Ang Lee's ensemble flick, "Taking Woodstock," boasts an impressive assortment of actors -- from Liev Schrieber and Paul Dano to Emile Hirsch. But at its center is one big question mark, Demitri Martin. Honestly I never cared all that much for Martin's schtick on "The Daily Show." A little too precious for my taste. BUT I am a fan of his new show, "Important Things" over on Comedy Central. So I'm more than a little curious to see if he can carry a film from as revered a director (and notorious taskmaster) as Lee.

The big question is of course, will this decision to bank on Martin look like genius (ie. Lee's casting of undiscovered talents like Katie Holmes and Tobey Maguire in "The Ice Storm") or insanity (ahem, anyone remember Jewel in "Ride with the Devil"?). Here's the trailer. Tell us what you think.

'Audrina PatridgeSummit Entertainment just released the new trailer for their upcoming horror flick "Sorority Row," and I gotta say — I think it looks kind of awesome. Is that just me?

The movie stars Briana Evigan ("Step Up 2: The Streets"), Leah Pipes, Rumer Willis and our very own "Hills" star Audrina Patridge. (Also in the film? Carrie Fisher, which is incredible.) In the film, a remake of "The House on Sorority Row," a group of sorority sisters accidentally cause the death of one of their own in a prank gone really, really badly. And if you watch the trailer, you see that — spoiler alert! — Audrina is unfortunately the one that gruesomely bites the dust. (Watch the trailer after the jump.) Read more...
