Amanda Seyfried Knows Who To Blame In 'Gone' Exclusive Clip

Posted 2/9/12 11:34 am EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Video

It's bad enough getting kidnapped by a serial killer. It's even worse when your sister gets kidnapped by the same guy two years later.

In "Gone," Amanda Seyfried plays Jill, the woman who must convince the police that her former kidnapper is responsible for the disappearance of her sister.

As you can see, the cops aren't so willing to believe her. "If my sister dies, it's your fault," she says in this exclusive clip, pointing the pointy finger of blame at Daniel Sunjata, who plays one of the detectives looking for her sister Molly.

Taylor Lautner Joins Gus Van Sant's Next Movie

Posted 11/2/11 3:58 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

TLaut Taylor Lautner wasn't able to work with Gus Van Sant on "Breaking Dawn," so now he's created his own project for the director to helm.

MTV News reports that Lautner optioned a nonfiction article from The New Yorker, and has convinced Van Sant to direct it for him. "Milk" scribe Dustin Lance Black will pen the project, with Lautner in the lead role. Little more is known about the film, but it will be Lautner's first dramatic role to date.

Bruce Campbell Joins 'Oz: The Great And Powerful'

Posted 8/5/11 5:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Casting Call

"Oz: The Great And Powerful" just got a heck of a lot more exciting now that Bruce Campbell has announced he's been cast in it.

"I. Am. In. Oz. Sam Raimi refuses to tell me what character I will portray. Just know that the role is PIVOTAL," the "Burn Notice" actor tweeted. Considering James Franco has already been cast as the titular wizard-to-be and Campbell likely isn't playing one of the female witches, our guess is he plays some sort of mentor to Oz. Or we could be totally surprised and he'll end up playing a Munchkin or flying monkey. Regardless, we're thrilled by this casting news.

'In Time' Trailer Teases Justin Timberlake's Weird Time-Driven Future

Posted 8/3/11 4:33 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Trailers

Ever since Comic-Con, we've been seeing a heck of a lot of footage of Justin Timberlake's latest flick "In Time," but the latest trailer to hit the web is definitely its best.

First off, it's a good minute and a half shorter than the previous trailer released. In this case that's a good thing, because it gives a much more concise look at the plot while still keeping us intrigued. And we certainly are intrigued.

Second reason? It gives us our first look at Olivia Wilde as Timberlake's mom, which is something we have been looking forward to for a while.

Comic-Con Celebrities: Are They Geeks Or Posers?

Posted 7/28/11 4:00 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in After Hours

FROM MTV SPLASH PAGE: Forget booth babes, could it be that the celebrities are the real posers at Comic-Con? MTV News decided to get to the bottom of this curious dilemma in the special SDCC installment of After Hours: "Geeks or Posers?"

With nerdy stars like Patrick Stewart and Jon Favreau flocking to the convention center, we figured that the five-question quiz would be easy picking for actors of their caliber. Little did we know how few Hollywood leading men and ladies had any idea what manga was, or how most of the world has forgotten the full title of "Superman IV."

Comic-Con Interviews Recap: Taylor Lautner, Justin Timberlake And More!

Posted 7/25/11 10:45 am EST by Terri Schwartz in Comic-Con, Interviews, News, Video

It's been a busy few days for the MTV News crew covering 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, but fortunately we've been hard at work bringing scoops from the biggest and most buzzworthy stars on the hottest to a computer screen near you. See some of the highlights below!

Eliza Dushku Talks "True Lies 2"
Eliza Dushku took some time out of promoting "Batman: Year One" to stop by the MTV livestream and chat about her upcoming film projects. Unsurprisingly, a "True Lies" sequel question was thrown her way by a Twitter follower. Her response? It might be a little while.

"I think there's been a little a little snafoo with the star. With the Schwarzenegger. I think it's going to be a minute," she said with a laugh. "For a while I was never even talking about it. And all of the sudden I started getting calls from the Governor's office in California saying, 'You aren't allowed to talk about 'True Lies.'"

Justin Timberlake Cites 'Rambo' Among Inspirations For 'In Time' Action

Posted 7/23/11 1:22 pm EST by Kara Warner in Comic-Con, News

When Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried stopped by MTV News' San Diego Comic-Con headquarters yesterday, they came directly from their Hall H panel for "In Time," and were therefore full of the Comic-Con-fueled adrenaline and giggly energy that comes from appearing in front of 6,000 screaming fans.

We did our best to get them to talk seriously about their Andrew Niccol-directed thriller, but first they engaged in a back-and-forth about their Hall H experience and the use of the phrase "sizzle reel" to describe teaser trailers and footage.

"It was really short and I stood there and got nervous and didn’t say anything," Seyfried said of their "In Time" presentation.
