'Dark Knight Rises' Casting, 'Terminator' Skynet and Olivia Wilde Love Scenes in Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/20/11 1:27 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

We reported on it weeks ago, but it was made official yesterday: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotilliard will be joining the cast of "The Dark Knight Rises." And if it wasn't for Twitter, we'd have no idea how meta this casting really was.

According to the James Cameron blockbuster "The Terminator," the artificial intelligence in the Skynet program went live yesterday, which means that our inevitable destruction is just hours away! Since we're all about to die, you might as well read a few predictions for what might be in store for the robot apocalypse.

And a beautiful actress talks about filming love scenes! We won't give it away, but it involves lots and lots of high fives.

Thor's Beard, 'Rio' Promotion And Passover Celebrations In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/19/11 2:09 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

The summer blockbuster season is rapidly approaching and the tweets are alive with excitement. Arguably, the first big film opens May 6th and comes in the form of a hammer-wielding warrior named "Thor." Leave it to Seth MacFarlane to point out the most exciting thing about the Norse God.

For us, summer blockbuster season usually means obnoxiously-excited-for-new-Pixar-movies season. We're counting down the days until "Cars 2," but one "Finding Nemo" star is upset that a sequel is not in her future.

Meanwhile, "Rio" slayed "Scream 4" at the box office this weekend and star Tracy Morgan finally gets his promotional groove on. And another comedian is celebrating Passover this year, albeit under a new name.

'Scream 4' Reviews, Nic Cage in Jail and 'Bridesmaids' Excitment in Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/18/11 3:00 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

Despite a vaguely disappointing opening box office, most die hard horror fans rushed into theaters to catch "Scream 4" this weekend, and the reviews were mostly positive. The litany of plot twists and meta-jokes were enough to satisfy one of Earth's biggest pop singers and even lead one "Scream" alumnus to wish she hadn't been killed off so soon.

Many people who saw "Scream 4" this weekend were also treated to a brand new trailer for the summer comedy "Bridesmaids." All the hubbub is making the film's director refreshingly excited, so he took to the tweets to make some odd requests. And then apologize.

And unless you spent the weekend in isolation, you know that everyone was talking about Nic Cage's bizarre run in with the law and the reality TV star who bailed him out of prison. Sometimes Hollywood makes it too easy for comedians.

'Cowboys And Aliens' Trailer, 'Scream 4' Release And Emma Watson's Birthday In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/15/11 1:00 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

A new trailer for "Cowboys & Aliens" was released on "American Idol" last night and it sent Twitter all atwitter. While we're not sure the title implies a singular champion, we've got some celebrity predictions for which side comes out on top.

"Game of Thrones" premieres Sunday and we keep forgetting that it's not a movie. But there's something about it that makes us love it. We're guessing it's the brooding and the violence (Just like in the movies!). We've got some early reviews fresh off the Twitter.com Internet Website. Meanwhile, "Scream 4" lands in theaters and it's Emma Watson's 21st birthday today. See what Voldemort had to say!

'Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes,' 'Rock Of Ages' And Applebee's Boozing In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 4/14/11 1:45 pm EST by Travis Helwig in Twitter-Wood

The trailer for the succinctly named "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes" dropped today, sending the movie world into an ape-like frenzy. But it's not just the trailer itself that's catching some attention -- some are taking issue with the film's new title. While certain fans are upset with the name, one Hollywood director got the inside scoop on the film's "original working title."

As if that wasn't enough, the "Rock of Ages" director announced some huge casting news for the musical through his Twitter account. We won't give it away yet (okay, maybe we already did), but he's British, you know his name, and he's married to Katy Perry. Any guesses?

'Lost' In One Tweet And Ashley Green's Million Followers In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 3/30/11 3:15 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Twitter-Wood

After six seasons and one heck of a divisive ending, we're still not entirely positive that we get the meaning of "Lost." But if you're hoping for some clarification from series co-creator Damon Lindelof, well, you're in luck.

"Damaged people crash on damaged island. People fix each other, then island. All consumed in bright light. Yay! (or Boo!)" Lindelof wrote on Twitter, in response to a challenge to summarize "Lost" in a single tweet. We'd say he lived up to the occasion, wouldn't you?

In other Twitter-Wood news, Lindelof had more to say on a very different subject, and we're also shedding some light on James Cameron and Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent trip to Brazil past the jump!

Jackie Chan Lives And The Bronx Zoo Cobra Gets Social In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 3/29/11 3:00 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Twitter-Wood

Reports of Jackie Chan's demise have been greatly exaggerated. Despite the fact that "RIP Jackie Chan" has been a trending topic on Twitter all day, the coast is thankfully clear for one of our favorite martial arts action stars of all time.

"He did not suffer a heart attack and die, as was reported on many social networking sites and in online news reports," reports Chan's official Twitter feed. "Jackie is fine and is busy preparing for the filming of his next movie."

With that bit of business out of the way, it's time to see what else is going on in Twitter-Wood. After the jump, Steve Martin's quest against the Bronx Zoo Cobra continues while Jon Favreau offers a tantalizing tease at his WonderCon plans!

The Bronx Zoo Cobra And Amy Adams Is Lois Lane In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 3/28/11 2:15 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Twitter-Wood

If you're traveling through or near the Bronx Zoo in New York today, keep an eye out for the poisonous Egyptian cobra that has gone missing. News of such a reptilian menace on the loose would send most even-tempered individuals into a frenzy, but not Steve Martin — no, the "Father of the Bride" funny man is ready to make his move if necessary.

"An Egyptian cobra has escaped and is hiding in the Bronx zoo," Martin wrote today on Twitter. "I’m sitting in my King Tut hat by the phone awaiting their call for help."

Martin's willingness to combat poisonous snakes isn't the only interesting thing going on in the Twitter-verse today. After the jump, find out who didn't audition for Lois Lane in "Superman," which movie stars are celebrating birthdays and much more!

Twitter Says You Have To Be Team Harry Potter, Team Twilight Or Team Narnia, But Why Choose?

Posted 3/25/11 12:26 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Commentary, Twitter-Wood

What ever happened to young fiction fans getting along? According to Twitter trends today, you are either #TeamTwilight, #TeamNarnia or #TeamHarryPotter. But what if we're all three?

In our opinion, each series definitely has their merits. With "Harry Potter" you have a great story about coming of age and having to conquer the unconquerable obstacles in your path, while in "Twilight" you have love in its purest form and in "Narnia" you have a tale of family that sticks together through thick and thin to do the best for the world around them. Can't we just love them all?!

There are plenty of reasons each of them could count as our favorites, and after the jump we detail why we feel that way. Then YOU can duke it out in the comments section and on Twitter!
