James Cameron's 'Prometheus 2' Would Be Awesome, But It's Not Happening

Posted 4/3/12 11:50 am EST by Josh Wigler in Commentary, News

James Cameron's "Prometheuses" would be awesome. But… it's not happening.

A report surfaced over the weekend that Ridley Scott and Cameron were planning another "Alien" to "Aliens" handoff with the "Prometheus" franchise, with Cameron stepping in to direct the sequel after Scott's upcoming epic hits this summer. Not happening. It's an April Fool's Day prank that's gotten out of hand, nothing more, nothing less.

Well, maybe a little bit more: for me, it's the cruelest April Fool's Day prank you can possibly play.

'Titanic' Vs. 'Downton Abbey': Julian Fellowes Weighs In!

Posted 4/3/12 10:53 am EST by Jocelyn Vena in News

Not since 1912 has there been so much interest in the Titanic. (Of course that could also be said of 1997 when James Cameron released the film that launched Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio to next levels of famous).

Between the re-release of that film, the anniversary of the historic sinking and the soon-to-be-released mini-series from “Downton Abbey” creator, Julian Fellowes, everyone seems to have the Titanic on the brain. Fellowes recently opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about the mini-series, explaining that it’s not quite “Downton Abbey” on a ship.

“People want it to be, but it’s more complicated than that. ‘Titanic’ isn’t just about people and their servants,” he explained. “It’s about all of these people from different worlds coming together on one ship. My theory on disaster, though it’s a bit nanny, is that disaster brings out the best of you.”

'Rock Of Ages' Trailer: Tom Cruise Monkeys Around

Posted 4/3/12 7:52 am EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

Rock of Ages

If you were disappointed by the severe lack of Tom Cruise in the last "Rock of Ages" trailer, today's release of the musical film's second spot should take care of your ails. The Stacee Jaxx is front and center this time around, monkey in tow, even as plenty of other characters — played by Alec Baldwin, Malin Akerman, Russell Brand and more — get the spotlight as well.

But seriously, if today's trailer is any indication, Cruise really is going to light this place on fire — and that's judging only by one brief glimmer of "Dead or Alive." Fun stuff!

Check out the full trailer over here.

'Django Unchained' Set Photo Gives First Look At Christolph Waltz

Posted 4/2/12 5:57 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News, Photos

Quentin Taratino's "Django Unchained" has to be one of our most anticipated movies of the year based on the concept and cast alone.

If you haven't heard yet, Jamie Foxx plays the titular Django, an escaped slave who is taken under the wing of a German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz. Schultz and Django set out to free the former slave's wife from an evil plantation owner played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Now, pictures from the set provide our first look at any of the actors in costume. In the photo, Waltz is decked out in full western regalia as he crosses the street.

James Bond Set To Open Summer Olympics, Drink Heineken

Posted 4/2/12 5:25 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News

James Bond

Double O agent James Bond is not simply another member of her majesty's secret service. He's also a talented ad man.

Two different news items today profiled the more promotional side of 007.

First it was announced that Daniel Craig would participate in an upcoming short film as Bond to help open the 2012 Summer Olympics Games in London. Danny Boyle, the games' creative director, will helm the short, which takes place inside Buckingham Palace. Queen Elizabeth herself had to grant special permission to allow filming inside her royal residence.

'Ted' Red-Band Trailer Loves Mark Wahlberg, Hates Thunder

Posted 4/2/12 4:55 pm EST by Josh Wigler in News

Movie pitch: two lifelong best friends hit the streets of Boston, Massachusetts. One of them is a smart-mouthed, super-ripped local (okay, he's Mark Wahlberg, obviously). The other, an even fouler-mouthed talking teddy bear. Sounds like a winning combo, right?

Somebody certainly thinks so, or else this gloriously red-band trailer for Seth MacFarlane's "Ted" would not exist. Thank the powers that be that it does: that scare-the-thunder-away song, vulgar though it may be, is going to be taught to little children everywhere come summer time. Get all of that and more on the new "Ted" trailer at MTV News!

'Dumb And Dumber 2' Set To Film This Fall With Jim Carrey And Jeff Daniels

Posted 4/2/12 3:44 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News

Dumb and Dumber

You can go ahead and erase any trace of "Dumb and Dumberer" from your memory. We will finally have a true follow-up to the original 1994 comedy.

ComingSoon.net recently spoke with Peter Farrelly during the "Three Stooges" junket, and one half of the brotherly duo confirmed that "Dumb and Dumber 2" is set to go in front of cameras later this year.

"We're getting set to shoot 'Dumb and Dumber 2' in September," Farrelly said. "It's the first sequel we've ever done and we've got Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels back."

'Woman In Black' Sequel Moving Ahead Without Daniel Radcliffe?

Posted 4/2/12 2:02 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in News

Woman In Black

The Woman in Black, the British specter that scared up $120 million worldwide this past winter, is set to return in a follow-up to the surprise horror hit, but the leading man, Daniel Radcliffe, probably won't be around for a second encounter.

Hammer, Alliance Films and Cross Creek Pictures, along with Susan Hill, the author of "The Woman in Black" novel, have announced a follow-up called "Angels of Death." The proposed story will take place 40 years after the first film starring Radcliffe, reports the Hollywood Reporter.

Spoilers ahead.

'Angry Birds' Movie Won't Hit Until 2015 At Earliest

Posted 4/2/12 11:56 am EST by Josh Wigler in News

This just in: the "Angry Birds" movie has been postponed. Boo! But in happier news, there's an "Angry Birds" animated series launching in the very near future. Hooray!

Deadline has the scoop that 52 animated "Angry Birds" episodes "will be flocking to all possible devices ahead of next fall." The episodes will be roughly two and a half to three minutes in length. Further, while a movie adaptation is still in the works, Rovio animation chief Nick Dorra revealed that it won't be ready for the "2013 or 2014" season, making 2015 (!!) the earliest we'll see pig-smashing action on the big screen.

'Game Of Thrones' Recap: 'The North Remembers'

Posted 4/2/12 11:14 am EST by MTV Movies Team in Game of Thrones, TV

by Joel Hanek

A brief preamble: While I can’t claim that I was there from the beginning and have devoured all of George R. R. Martin’s fantastic series in literary form, I have been claiming my right to the throne ever since marathoning the first season of “Game of Thrones” over a weekend. In other words: I’m not an expert, I’m just a fan who now annoys all of his friends by constantly asking them if they’ve watched the show yet and gets frustrated when Auto-Correct messes up all of my texts in Dothraki.

By some miracle divined by the Internet Gods the shocking reveal of Ned Stark’s beheading at the end of season one remained unspoiled for me – so I approached season two not with the question of how would the death of the Stark patriarch effect the characters in the realm but rather how would it effect the show as a whole? To the Westeros virgin, Eddard seemed to be the glue of the show, and without him I was curious to see whether “Game of Thrones” would thrive or languish. Thrive it does.

Warning: spoilers are coming.
