Did "Buried" not have enough movement for you? Was "24" too all over the place? In this Goldilocks scenario, "Brake" might be just right.
In the upcoming thriller, Stephen Dorff plays Jeremy, a recent secret service recruit who wakes up locked in a Plexiglass box in the back of a car. Without any clue as to why he's stuck in the box, Jeremy desperately tries to escape as a timer in front of him continues to count down.
We have an exclusive clip from "Brake," so check it out above.

There's plenty of mystery surrounding the impending release of "Prometheus." The trailer did nothing to clear the air about the movie's plot or connection to the "Alien" franchise, and all of the film's stars have been doing their best to keep it that way.
Needless to say, when MTV News recently caught up with star Idris Elba, no one expected him to give much more information than what is already out there. And that's exactly what he did, though I'm pretty sure he's downplaying how significant his role is in the movie.
"There's a ship and I fly it. That's it! It doesn't get any more interesting than that," Elba teased of his character, the captain of the ship at the heart of the film.

Watching Michael Shannon play a potentially disturbed man in "Take Shelter" was one of the most harrowing movie-going experiences in 2011. In the film, he plays Curtis, a man who has apocalyptic visions and is unsure whether to take them seriously or not. Just to be safe, he begins to expand his family's tornado shelter, in order to protect his family.
The film's most frightening scene comes near the end of the film at a community fish fry, when a friend confronts Curtis about his strange behavior. Shannon erupts in fury in an unforgettable scene, made all the more real because the extras in the shot didn't know what was going to happen.

It's bad enough getting kidnapped by a serial killer. It's even worse when your sister gets kidnapped by the same guy two years later.
In "Gone," Amanda Seyfried plays Jill, the woman who must convince the police that her former kidnapper is responsible for the disappearance of her sister.
As you can see, the cops aren't so willing to believe her. "If my sister dies, it's your fault," she says in this exclusive clip, pointing the pointy finger of blame at Daniel Sunjata, who plays one of the detectives looking for her sister Molly.

With names like Denzel Washington and Robert Zemeckis attached to the upcoming film "Flight," you would normally expect big budget thrills along the lines of the director's previous work "Back to the Future." But according to Washington, the action will be there, but the budget may not be.
Washington told MTV News that he and Zemeckis made the film on a tigher budget than usual. "[Zemekis] did it on a shoestring budget, for him a shoestring budget," he said. "We made the movie for, I think, $32 million." For a movie that focuses on an A-list cast and a plane crash, that's discount filmmaking.

If you missed it, we chatted with "This Means War" leading lady Reese Witherspoon last night during an MTV First dedicated to the flick. Her onscreen character Lauren is lucky -- or, rather, unlucky -- enough to start dating two men who turn out to be best buddies and coworkers at the CIA.
During the event, we debuted two new clips from the film, which you can check out right now. The first plays up the action side of the movie, with one of Witherspoon's beaus, FDR (Chris Pine), crashing her date with the other, Tuck (Tom Hardy). And we mean literally crashing: when Lauren goes to collect herself in the bathroom after the surprise appearance, FDR and Tuck manage to destroy the restaurant.

There are official "Arrested Development" offices set up. The cast and crew have parking spaces. According to writer Dean Lorey, "we're really doing this thing."
"This thing" of course refers to the planned 10-episode-into-a-movie "Arrested Development" project that Netflix agreed to finance last year. Lorey took to his blog to say that he and fellow writers Mitch Hurwitz and Jim Vallely are currently writing the new season of "Arrested Development" which is set to premiere on Netflix in 2013. And that's the best news we've heard in a long time.
Rumors of a post-series movie were sparked almost immediately after the TV show ended its run in 2006. It's taken six years, but now the full cast is on board and planning on filming the additional content over the summer. According to Hurwitz, who is the show's creator, the 10-episode series will catch audiences up-to-date on what the Bluth family has been up to over the past half a decade and will act as a lead-up to the feature film.
