The Steve Carell - Jim Carrey Rivalry Begins In This 'Burt Wonderstone' Clip

Posted 3/13/13 9:33 am EST by in Video

After getting Up Close and personal with MTV News' Josh Horowitz, Steve Carell and Jim Carrey presented an exclusive clip from their new movie as a part of "MTV First: The Incredible Burt Wonderstone."

The comedy, which opens in theaters on Friday (3/15), tells the story of rival magicians — one old-school, the other a Criss Angel-style street performer — who duke it out for a highly competitive gig. In this exclusive clip, we see the beginnings of the rivalry.

After watching Carrey's Steve Gray perform an illusion, Carell's Burt tries speaking with him about coming to a future performance of his own. Gray responds in a not-too-grateful manner.

Nick Offerman -- AKA Ron F'n Swanson -- Improves The Golden Popcorn

Posted 3/12/13 2:48 pm EST by in Humor, Interviews, MTV Movie Awards, Video

By Joel Hanek

Much like Clark Kent and Superman, there's not much of a difference between Nick Offerman and his internet demi-god alter-ego Ron Swanson — in fact, the "Parks and Rec" star owns and operates his very own successful woodworking shop.

With the 2013 MTV Movie Awards only a month away, we'd be remiss if we didn't get the expert consultation on the signature Golden Popcorn trophy from the mustachioed dead-pan craftsman. Offerman, who swung by the MTV Studios promoting his new indie flick "Somebody Up There Likes Me", had some first impressions:

"It feels like my jeans are growing uncomfortably tight — woah, that is turgid."

Joss Whedon Wouldn't Include Original 'Star Wars' Characters

Posted 3/12/13 11:30 am EST by in Video

Joss Whedon

Joss Whedon rose to the level of nerd god this past summer thanks to his excellent handling of "The Avengers," and when the future of "Star Wars" was up for grabs for the first time, the hordes pointed to the "Buffy" creator as their ideal — but likely impossible — candidate to direct.

The director told CNN, "I'm as angry as you should be. When I heard [about 'Star Wars'] I was like, 'I wonder ... no, I really can't do that. Oh, I already have a job.' I wouldn't clear the 'Avengers.' I'm having so much fun with that sequel right now, just with the script, that I couldn't imagine not doing it."

But playing a little game of "What If" with Digital Spy at SXSW, Whedon explained how he would handle has version of the galaxy far, far away.

Rebel Wilson Gets Into A Better Position With Channing Tatum

Posted 3/12/13 9:30 am EST by in Humor, Video

Rebel Wilson, the star and host of the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, has taken on a complete action star persona for her new gig, and the latest promo for the biggest night in movies proves that for such an enormous star, she can still work with a partner, especially if that wing man has the abs of Golden Popcorn nominee Channing Tatum.

In the new teaser for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, Wilson and Tatum attempt to make a getaway in a limo from the upcoming movie "White House Down." Wilson needs to get into position so she can fire her RPG at their pursuers, but the only way to do that is to straddle Tatum and have him take off his shirt. It's the only way.

Will Jennifer Lawrence get her silver lining in the form of a Golden Popcorn? Which beefcake will sizzle in our brand-new Best Shirtless Performance category? It's up to you to decide the winners of the 2013 MTV Movie Awards! Vote now, and tune in Sunday, April 14 at 9 p.m. ET, as star Rebel Wilson takes the stage at the Sony Pictures Studios lot in Culver City, California.

James Franco May Have Some 'Maladies' In This Exclusive Clip

Posted 3/11/13 11:00 am EST by in Video

FROM MTV NEWS

James Franco may have just had a massive movie opening with "Oz the Great and Powerful," but the actor knows how to stay true his indie roots.

"Maladies," which stars James Franco, David Strathairn, and Catherine Keener, after premiering a few week back at the Berlin International Film Festival, is screening at SXSW, which is currently underway in Austin, Texas.

In the film, Franco plays James, an actor forced out of the spotlight due to a perceived mental illness, but if this exclusive clip from "Maladies" is any indication of his mental stability, there may be some truth to that.

Check out the clip from "Maladies" above.

Mila Kunis Thinks Wickedness Is The Easy Way Out In 'Oz'

Posted 3/6/13 3:02 pm EST by in Interviews, Video

Just like any young woman, Mila Kunis' character in "Oz the Great and Powerful" knows how it feels to have your heart broken. But what makes Theodora not so average is how she deals with the pain.

It's not really a spoiler any more to reveal that Theodora becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, and it's that transformation that helped Kunis get into the character. "I think that this is definitely the first time I've had a character that goes through such a strong arc, emotionally and physically," she said.

This Exclusive 'Upside Down' Clip Is Also A Fun Lesson In Physics!

Posted 3/6/13 12:30 pm EST by in Video

"Upside Down" is a new romantic adventure film with an unusual conceit. Jim Sturgess and Kirsten Dunst play star-crossed lovers who live in two separate worlds, each with their own gravitational pulls in opposite directions. The complication makes for some romantic struggles and more than a few stunning action sequences.

An exclusive clip from the film, which opens in theaters on March 15, comes a little later in the film, as Sturgess' and Dunst's characters attempt to flee the guards from the latter's world, since crossover between the two planes is strictly forbidden.

What makes the clip particularly interesting is a detail of the world. These are not two gravitational fields where the inhabitants of one can cross over into the other. No matter which world you're on, you get pulled in the direction of your home, so when the two gravitationally-challenged love birds try to flee, they have to contend with those opposing forces.

"Upside Down" opens on March 15.

Stephen Colbert Put James Franco In His Place! Again!

Posted 3/6/13 10:39 am EST by in Humor, Video

The internet made a lot of the last time James Franco appeared on the "Colbert Report" and challenged Stephen Colbert to a test of Tolkien knowledge. The results were definitive. Lesson learned.

Or was it?!?!

Now promoting his new film "Oz the Great and Powerful," Franco came back to "The Report," but this time, he came prepared. He had a question that he thought would stump the master. Currently rereading "The Silmarillion," the more mythological text of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth, asked Colbert about the Valar, the gods of the world.

Oh, Franco, you naive, naive boy. You underestimate the Tolkien knowledge of Stephen Colbert.

First 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Clip Reenlists Our Excitement For This Movie

Posted 3/5/13 2:55 pm EST by in Video

GI Joe

"G.I. Joe: Retaliation" has a complicated relationship with its fans and perhaps former fans. Last spring, we were all set to go on a high-flying, Joetastic adventure with Roadblock, Original Joe, and Snake Eyes. There was going to be a 10-minute, dialogue-free, ninja fight. What more could we ask for?

Then came the delay. Fans would have to wait a year to see "G.I. Joe Retaliation," and now that the year's almost expired, will audiences still embrace the ninja fights they were looking forward to a year ago?

Well, the first clip from "G.I. Joe" has hit the web (via Latino Review), so fans can test the waters and see if they know what to do when the movie hits theaters on March 28. And knowing is half the battle.

Watch the clip after the jump!
