Bruce Willis Really Likes The 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Cast

Posted 4/19/12 2:04 pm EST by in Interviews, Video


It's hard when you're the original G.I. Joe and you've got all these young kids with their exploding motorcycles and cliff-side ninja fits to compete with. Bruce Willis knows the feeling.

MTV News caught up with the action legend as part of our Summer Movie Preview, and Willis had nothing but kind things to say about his younger co-stars.

But he does give credit where credit is due. In "G.I. Joe: Retaliation," Willis plays the Joe who was there when it all began, Original Joe. "Joe Colton is actually the original G.I. Joe," Willis said. "In the story, he started the outfit a long time ago, and that outfit are kids compared to us."

'Silent Hill' Sequel Finally Gets Release Date

Posted 4/19/12 1:24 pm EST by in Horror Bites


We've been seeing a ton of behind the scenes footage of "Silent Hill: Revelation" — most of it from fans invading the set. Shaky cam be damned, we're still curious and anxious to see more — and finally, a release date has been set for the 3D horror film.

The videogame-inspired sequel will be hitting theaters on October 26, just in time for your Halloween festivities. Sean Bean, Deborah Kara Unger and Radha Mitchell will be returning to the story directed by Michael J. Bassett. In "Silent Hill: Revelation," Heather Mason (Clemens) and her father (Bean) have been running from dangerous and mysterious forces that the young girl doesn't fully understand. Eventually all is revealed, sinking her deeper into a demonic world.

Are you still worried about the 3D aspect of the film, or will that immerse you in "Silent Hill's" twisted universe even more? Let us know in the comments, and keep reading for more of this week's Horror Bites.

The 'Magic Mike' Trailer And The Curious Case Of Alex Pettyfer

Posted 4/19/12 12:54 pm EST by in Commentary, Trailers


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.

'Arrested Development': Five Things We Know About Season Four

Posted 4/19/12 11:58 am EST by in News, TV


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.

'Prometheus' Viral Posters Highlight Groundbreaking Vehicles And Technology

Posted 4/19/12 7:56 am EST by in News


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.

Anthony Hopkins Is The Spitting Image Of Alfred Hitchcock

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.

Exclusive: Take A Look At 'The Odd Life Of Timothy Green'

Posted 4/18/12 5:51 pm EST by in Photos


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' Exclusive Clip: Taylor Kitsch Gets One Wish

Posted 4/18/12 5:28 pm EST by in News, Video


"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.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt: 'Looper' Is 'The Best Work I've Ever Done'

Posted 4/18/12 4:00 pm EST by in Interviews


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."

Exclusive 'Ted' Photo: Foul-Mouthed Teddy Bear Up To His Old Tricks

Posted 4/18/12 2:34 pm EST by in Photos


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!
