Much to the delight of women and gay men everywhere, the first trailer for Channing Tatum's semi-autobiographical stripper movie "Magic Mike" has hit the web, giving eager squeers their first eyeful of Tatum's sick stripper moves. (I'd definitely keep a few extra twenties in my purse if I knew Tatum was coming over...) But one thing we didn't see a whole lot of was co-star Alex Pettyfer.

To be fair, Tatum does play the film's titular character, but when news of Pettyfer's casting made the rounds last year, it sounded as though his protege character, The Kid — loosely based on Tatum — would be the focus of the film.

Development Arrested

The new "Arrested Development" series is still coming, but now we've learned that a couple of major changes to what we heard about the project in October are going to be taking place.

Development has been arrested for the past few years, but it seemed like the show was finally going to be going full steam ahead when Netflix picked up its fourth season back in November. Now scripts are being written for the new episodes, and series creator Mitch Hurwitz revealed at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas that filming should begin over the summer.

There have been some changes to the original plan, however. Most of them are good, though we're sure some die hard fans will find something to blue themselves over here. Honestly, we don't care what form it takes, because we'll just be happy to have a new season of "Arrested Development" on a Netflix-ready device near us next year.

It just keeps getting better and better for "Prometheus" fans this week. Was the David-8 viral video not enough to satisfy you? No sweat, then: how about several images of the various other new technologies launching on the USCSS Prometheus?

Collider has a look at various new viral posters showing off medical equipment, transportation vehicles and, or course, the Prometheus itself. All of the photos are packed with information about what each vehicle/technological marvel can do, and the designs should be familiar to any and all "Alien" fans. The strands of DNA connecting Ridley Scott's two scifi horror flicks are becoming more and more evident with every passing day, though not at nearly a fast enough pace to match my excitement for the movie.

"Prometheus" launches on June 8. I might not make it until then.

Hopkins Hitchcock

We knew that having an actor like Anthony Hopkins play a director as iconic as Alfred Hitchcock could only result in good things. We were wrong. This first photo of Hopkins in "Hitchcock" is amazing.

Sometimes, dreams do come true, no matter how ridiculous, impossible or—dare we say it—odd they seem. Just ask Cindy and Jim Green, who quite possibly dreamed their 10-year-old son into existence.

Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton star in "The Odd life of Timothy Green" as two parents struggling to have a child. One night, they imagine what their son would be like, writing down his attributes and quirks on a sheet of paper and burying it in their backyard. What began as a way to vent frustration becomes something rather miraculous, when a 10-year-old boy named Timothy (CJ Adams) arrives on their doorstep to claim the Greens as his own.

The Odd Life of Timothy Green

We have a feeling that the less revealed about "Odd Life," the better. So in the spirit of pictures being worth a thousand words, enjoy this exclusive still from the Disney fantasy drama, part of our ongoing Summer Movie Preview week. The film hits theaters on August 15, 2012.

"Battleship" comes sailing into theaters on May 18, but we've got an exclusive clip from the upcoming movie to help ease the wait. In it, Taylor Kitsch makes a birthday wish that we're sure many 20-something men have made: he wants to date Brooklyn Decker.

As we already know, that wish comes true. The plot of the movie revolves around Kitsch's relationship with Decker's character and her father (played by Liam Neeson), as well as the whole alien invasion taking place. This scene looks to be when Kitsch first meets Decker, though Alexander Skarsgard's character is doing everything in his power to prevent that.

Looper

We're understandably excited for Rian Johnson's "Looper." It's got a mind melting premise, a badass trailer and promises of a classic Joseph Gordon-Levitt performance.

We thought that it was impossible for anyone to be more excited about "Looper" until we talked to Gordon-Levitt. He's really excited.

Gordon-Levitt spoke to us for our Summer Movie Preview and couldn't help but mention the upcoming sci-fi film with his "Brick" director Johnson.

"'Looper' is, to be honest, some of the best work I've ever done as an actor," Gordon-Levitt said. "I really transformed myself. Rian Johnson, who wrote and directed 'Brick,' is—I think—one of the greatest filmmakers going."

If parents (who clearly haven't watched the trailer) were tricked into thinking "Ted" would be a cute family film about Mark Wahlberg and his cuddly teddy, this new photo will clear up their confusion.

Ted

The comedy centers on John Bennett (Wahlberg) as a 35-year-old who just can't seem to let go of his childhood best friend—a crude, real-life, talking teddy bear that he wished into existence. The photo shows exactly what we'd expect from the characters: John and Ted hanging out at the kitchen table with beer bottles in close range. A closer look at the background shows a few empty bottles, chips and a pizza box strewn about the messy TV table. Parents, trust us, this is one movie you'll want to see without the kids.

Let us know what you think of the photo in the comments and on Twitter!

We're only three weeks into our new Watch It column, and one of our contributors is already cheating: instead of telling you what he's watching, he's telling you what he's reading, and it may have a little something to do with a certain bow-wielding heroine in the post-apocalyptic land known as Panem.

Keep reading for more on "Hunger Games" sequels "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay," a bit on the latest "Prometheus" viral video, and more of what the rest of the MTV Movies team is devouring in this week's edition of Watch It!
