Channing Tatum Negotiating For 'White House Down'

Posted 5/15/12 8:15 am EST by in Casting Call, News


Channing Tatum

We've reached another potential milestone in the year of Channing Tatum. Having already punched faces in "Haywire" and melted hearts in "The Vow," he's set to punch more faces in "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and melt more… somethings in "Magic Mike" in just a few weeks. Now, add another upcoming credit to the pile — one that's more on the face-punching side, with a little heart-melting thrown in for good measure.

The "21 Jump Street" star (oh yeah, don't forget about that one too!) is reportedly in negotiations to star in "White House Down," Columbia's high priority action thriller being directed by the master of doomsday-scale filmmaking, Roland Emmerich.

Darth Atlas

If you think about it, "Darth Altas" is the perfect metaphor for the Empire's over-industrialization weighing down upon its ultimate victim. Hmmm. Indeed.

Wow. That guy really does clean up good!


Just weeks after announcing that the long-awaited "Anchorman" sequel is finally moving forward comes word that the movie already has a teaser trailer.

All the who's, what's, why's and how's are unknown at the moment, but if the "Anchorman" teaser involves Burgundy's signature 'stache, scotch and sweet sweet jazz flute tunes, everything will be just fine.

'Prometheus' Lands With First Official Clip

Posted 5/14/12 4:20 pm EST by in News


After last week's deluge of featurettes, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise that Fox treated us to our first official clip from "Prometheus" today. Titled "Prometheus Has Landed," the clip appropriately shows Prometheus landing on the alien planet where much of the movie takes place.

"Prometheus" might not be a direct "Alien" prequel, but we can certainly see plenty of the former movie's DNA in this new clip. Everything from how the crew behaves on the ship to how they interact with each other is very similar to the way Ripley, Dallas and the crew of Nostromo act. If we ever needed more proof that this is a Ridley Scott film we're dealing with, this clip is it.

Adrien Brody Reveals His Stoner Side In Exclusive 'High School' Clip

Posted 5/14/12 3:31 pm EST by in Video


Despite what childhood television shows taught us (we're looking at you "Winnie the Pooh"), we're acutely aware that animals can't talk back to us. The most Sparky can do is bark when we ask if he wants to go for a walk. Now the movies we watch tell us that animals only talk back when we're under the influence of some substance—as this hilarious, exclusive "High School" clip demonstrates.

The film follows two high school friends—Henry is college bound while Travis spends most of his time getting high. When Henry decides to try marijuana for the first time, his experimental use of the drug coincides with the principal's decision to issue a mandatory drug test.

Mark Ruffalo Praises Edward Norton's Hulk In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 5/14/12 2:05 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


With the announcement that Marvel was making an "Avengers" film, no character was as scrutinized by fans as much as the Hulk. Consequently, actor Mark Ruffalo received the brunt of the judgement as he signed on to helm the green monster with an uncontrollable temper. The previous actors who played the role were Eric Bana and Edward Norton who didn't exactly leave comic fans begging for more.

As "The Avengers" smashes the box office with its success ($1 billion worldwide gross so far!), fans have been in agreement that Ruffalo's portrayal of the gamma-radiated monster was the best yet—and they took to Twitter to let the actor know. After Ruffalo praised Norton, fans pointed the approval back at Ruffalo to which he replied, "Wow, Thanks to all. I wasn't fishing, per say. I was more trying to Clarify how much I respect Ed and Eric."

Damon Lindelof Explains 'Prometheus' Mysteries

Posted 5/14/12 12:57 pm EST by in News


Prometheus

Damon Lindelof is a nerd's nerd. The same man who co-created "Lost" and helped J.J. Abrams send "Star Trek" off into an awesome new direction also geeked out at the chance to help Ridley Scott develop the idea for "Prometheus." But as it turns out, Lindelof is also the man who turned "Prometheus" from being an "Alien" prequel into what it is today.

In a lengthy new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Lindelof opened up a lot about why "Prometheus" is the way it is. What we love so much about this movie already is that we're as intrigued by its inception as we are by its plot. Lindelof doesn't give away any big story moments, but he does give an in depth retelling of his first interactions with Scott about the project and sets the record straight on whether "Prometheus" is a prequel to "Alien."

We've detailed our five favorite "Prometheus" teases from the interview, which you can read after the jump.

Danny Elfman On Scoring For Tim Burton: Silence Is Golden

Posted 5/14/12 11:58 am EST by in News


Dark Shadows

When it comes to the power of movie magic, one of the greatest ingredients for creating a memorable theatrical experience is the film's score, no matter how big or small.

I'm a little biased on this subject because I am a huge film score nerd. For me, a movie isn't "great" unless it also has the music to match. Where some people might be excited to see "Dark Shadows" because it's another Tim Burton/Johnny Depp quirky collaboration, I get excited because I know that we will likely get more movie music from prolific composer Danny Elfman, who delivered us the memorable scores for Burton's "Batman," "Edward Scissorhands" and "The Nightmare Before Christmas," among countless others.

Much like Burton's working relationship with Depp, the director and his composer have a shorthand when it comes to working out a film score. And by "shorthand," that means that they don't really have to talk about it at all.

“We don’t talk about it up front," Elfman told MTV News about his and Burton's initial scoring process recently during the press day for "Dark Shadows."

'Revolution' Trailer: J.J. Abrams, Jon Favreau Get 'Lost'

Posted 5/14/12 11:01 am EST by in News, TV


What happens when you take the masterminds behind "Lost," "Supernatural" and "Iron Man" and put them on the same creative project together? Apparently you get something so heated that it shuts down electricity all across the planet. Not the greatest thing that could happen to mankind, no, but it might make for some very compelling television.

J.J. Abrams and Eric Kripke, together with director Jon Favreau, have joined forces for "Revolution," a new television series hitting NBC in the fall. Set in a world where all forms of electricity have been shut down for fifteen years, "Revolution" tells the story of the survivors living in the post-power world. Among those survivors are a certain "Twilight" favorite, a "Breaking Bad" master villain, and one of the counselors from Camp Firewood of "Wet Hot American Summer" fame.

Check out the first full trailer for the new series beyond the break!
