Exclusive 'Small Apartments' Clip: No Soda Bottles Here

Posted 3/9/12 2:00 pm EST by in Video


"Small Apartments" is pretty much what you would expect from a film starring bizarre British comedian Matt Lucas (Kristen Wiig's roommate in "Bridesmaids") and premiering at South by Southwest. From the looks of the exclusive clip, it's odd, incredibly random and hilarious.

In the film, Lucas plays Franklin Franklin, a man living in Los Angeles who kills his landlord played by Peter Stormare. If Franklin is going to get away with his murder, he's going to have to hide it from a group of eccentric neighbors, played by just about every actor working in Hollywood today. The supporting cast members includes James Marsden, James Caan, Johnny Knoxville, Billy Crystal, Juno Temple, Dolph Lundgren and DJ Qualls.

Alex Winter Explains Passion For His New Napster Doc

Posted 3/9/12 11:16 am EST by in Interviews, Video


Alex Winter, one half of the 1980s duo known as Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted Theodore Logan aka Wyld Stallyns aka Bill and Ted, has acted sparingly since the second movie, "Bogus Journey," choosing instead to focus on directing.

His latest project, "Downloaded," a documentary looking back at the genesis of popular file sharing site Napster, will be a subject of discussion at South by Southwest this year. Winter stopped by MTV News to fill us in on the documentary and shared his thoughts about Napster's impact on technology today.

"My passion about this was that the real Napster was online from '99 to 2002. It was the invention of peer-to-peer technology in a way that actually worked, meaning Shawn Fanning created Napster when he was 18. He had this vision bringing the whole world together via music and creating a global community," Winter said.

'Cabin In The Woods' Delays 'Frustrating' For Fran Kranz

Posted 3/8/12 12:41 pm EST by in Interviews, Video


It's unlikely that there's ever been a development quite like "The Cabin in the Woods," the horror film Drew Goddard directed and co-wrote with cult hero Joss Whedon.

One of the most notable victims of the MGM bankruptcy, "The Cabin in the Woods" sat on the shelf for three years before its upcoming release by Lionsgate this coming April. While a film collecting dust on a shelf isn't an entirely new story, one that's being heralded as a modern classic certainly qualifies.

Fran Kranz, a recent draft into the group of Whedon regulars, spoke with MTV News about waiting so long for the world to finally see the movie he loved and the disappointment that came with it.

"At one point Joss told me, 'When this movie comes out, you are going to play so many great father roles,'" Kranz said.

'Dark Tide' Clip: Shark Jumping With Halle Berry

Posted 3/7/12 3:20 pm EST by in Video


You know that feeling when you're watching a shark movie and you find yourself thinking, "I love this shark movie, but I wish there were more Academy Award-winning actresses in it"?

We know that feeling all too well. That's why we're very excited to present this exclusive clip from "Dark Tide," a new deep water thriller starring Halle Berry. In "Dark Tide," Berry plays Kate Mathieson, a woman who has made a name for herself by swimming with great white sharks. When she falls on hard times, she's forced to take a job she doesn't want to, escorting a wealthy amateur to swim with the deadly beasts without a cage.

In our exclusive clip, Kate drives her boat out into the open water with her client and his son in tow. With the help of a trusty seal-shaped lure, the crew attempts to attract some attention from the great whites in the area.

"Dark Tide" will be available on VOD on March 8 before it heads to theaters on March 30.

Megan Fox & Adam Scott Play The Yes/No Show

Posted 3/7/12 2:31 pm EST by in After Hours, Video


You'd think that when the answer to all the questions is either "yes" or "no," an interview should always go off without a hitch. But sometimes guests on Josh Horowitz's "After Hours" interview program, "The Yes/No Show," just miss out on opportunities to do awesome pirate accents.

Stopping by "The Yes/No Show" in support of their new movie "Friends With Kids," Adam Scott and Megan Fox took the opportunity to answer a few "simple" questions that are supposed to have "simple" answers.

'21 Jump Street' Extended Red Band Clip Is 'Extremely Vivid'

Posted 3/6/12 5:12 pm EST by in Trailers, Video


We have an extended red-band look at "21 Jump Street," and over the course of the five minute clip, you'll get a pretty good idea of what the world's worst undercover cops are like. Take a look below, but warning: not safe for work material here.

In the film, Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum play two reject officers who are recruited to go undercover at a local high school to bring down a drug ring. Unfortunately, for the two police officers, you just don't go undercover at a local high school. There are cliques and bullies and social pressures to deal with that the cops don't handle particularly well.

Posted 3/6/12 4:29 pm EST by in News, TV, Video


You shouldn't worry about getting your hopes up for a movie based on the "Friday Night Lights" TV series. It may be more likely than you think.

MTV News recently caught up with Connie Britton, one of the stars, and she said that director Peter Berg isn’t just shooting his mouth off when he talks about plans for an "FNL" movie. In fact, when she last spoke to him, she learned that he 100 percent plans on making the film come together.

"I actually just saw Pete this week and he is full-on serious about it," Britton said. "I love the idea. I think it's a great idea and I love those characters and listen, I think if they put a movie together, they're going to do it right. I really have faith in that."

Exclusive 'John Carter' Clip Seeks Out Answers

Posted 3/2/12 8:00 am EST by in Video


Taylor Kitsch's MTV First appearance didn't just yield several memorable zingers and athletic assaults against host Josh Horowitz; it also presented fans with a brand new clip from "John Carter," in theaters next Friday (March 9).

In our exclusive look at "Carter," the titular Civil War veteran is already knee-deep in life on Mars — or Barsoom, as it's called by the natives. Carter is seeking answers and a way back home to Earth, not necessarily in that order. He might get what he's looking for, too — if Princess Dejah Thoris (Lynn Collins) is willing to trust him, that is.
