From the writer of "Training Day" comes "Street Kings, the story of a hardened cop (Reeves) who is forced to go against his own department when he's framed for the murder of a fellow cop. Co-starring Forest Whitaker, Chris Evans and Common, the film hits theaters on April 11. Check out an exclusive sneak below.

Chris EvansDr. Doom couldn't do it. The Silver Surfer couldn't either. Galactus, destroyer of worlds and devourer of planets? Never stood a chance. Nearly fifty years of adventures, and not one villain could ever put a permanent end to Reed Richards, Sue Storm, and the first family of crime-fighting.

Now they're ready to hang it up based on a little negative criticism?

"I'm pretty sure we won't do [another] one," insisted "Fantastic Four" star Chris Evans, who excelled in two films as the Human Torch. "I'm assuming that one is a closed book." Read more...

Alison LohmanArticle by Jessica Goebel

As Nicolas Cage's meddling teenage daughter in "Matchstick Men," Ewan McGregor's puerile love interest in "Big Fish," or a budding pop star in the mold of Britney Spears in "Delirious," 28-year-old Alison Lohman has made a habit of playing adolescent.

In her next movie, our little girl is about to get all grown up.

"It's an Iraq War story but it's not about the war, it's about what our soldiers are going through right now and just having the compassion to see how horrible war is," Lohman revealed of next year's "Under the Blue Sky." "I hardly ever cry when I read scripts and I was in tears by the end."

With "The Kingdom," "In the Valley of Elah," and "Renditon," all hitting theaters within the last two months, the only thing apparently hotter than movies about our current global war on terror is Lohman's upcoming co-star, the Human Torch Chris Evans. Read more...

Yup, that's right, we're watching Jessica Alba play dress-up. The clip, from the bonus features of the new "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer" DVD (out in stores as of yesterday), shows our favorite invisible superhero doing her make-up and wardrobe tests, along with co-stars Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd. Dig it, and when you're through, watch more "FF2” clips right here.

Here's a little something for everyone. You want a dose of Scarlett Johannson? Maybe you're more in the mood to see the latest from Chris Evans of "The Fantastic Four"? Come tomorrow, you can check them both out in "The Nanny Diaries," but who cares about tomorrow when we've got an exclusive clip for you today?! Enjoy.

Hotly anticipated, Danny Boyle's upcoming sci-fi thriller "Sunshine" stars Chris Evans, Cillian Murphy and Rose Byrne as crewmembers on a nuke-carrying spaceship tasked to use its massive payload to restart the dying sun. Things soon go awry, and since it's from the director of "28 Days Later" and "Trainspotting," naturally that's when the story really starts getting interesting. In the exclusive clip below, an alarm sounds while two of the crew are on a spacewalk to repair damaged tiles.

When you think of Tennessee Williams, do you think of mandatory reading, those glass figurine thingies, cats falling off hot tin roofs? How about the Human Torch? No? Well get ready to revisit the great American playwright with a brand new level of appreciation when Chris Evans brings "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond" to the big-screen, the "Fantastic Four" star enthused.

Or maybe not. "Truth is, it's Tennessee Williams. It's a little boring," Evans joked with MTV News' Tim Kash.

The period drama centers on rebellious Southern socialite Fisher Willow (Bryce Dallas Howard) who, after returning from overseas, falls in love with Jimmy (Evans), the down-and-out son of an alcoholic father and an insane mother. "I play kind of a farm hand, not the brightest bulb on the tree," Evans divulged. It's a huge change of pace for an actor better known for wearing spandex and battling computer-generated foes as a member of the "Fantastic Four." Read more...

It's been called "silly," an "aesthetically unnecessary sequel," a movie "sentient humans should [avoid]." Our own Josh Horowitz labeled it "the worst superhero franchise ever."

Have patience, "Fantastic Four" star Chris Evans implored. Talking with MTV's Tim Kash, Evans was remarkably candid about the failings of the first two films, and equally hopeful that, given a chance, the future for the first family of crime-fighting would be a bright one. "It's tricky when you're working with a gigantic film like this...there's a lot of cooks in the kitchen, a lot of people that have their input. Some people's opinions are stronger than others, and sometimes you lose. But I think that we're getting there," he declared. "I still think the potential of this has not been reached. I still think this can be something great, and I think we are getting closer. We're all making revisions." Read more...

Sometimes having a superhero around isn't enough to save you. This afternoon, MTV News was abuzz with a hot little piece of video gold. Our newest correspondent, Tim Kash, got a chance to spend some quality time with Chris Evans (aka The Human Torch of "Fantastic Four") when suddenly, out of nowhere...

Well, you should just watch the tape for yourself. Don't worry. Everyone's alright. And be sure to check out Tim Kash's own blog for his firsthand account.

Just because the show was over, that didn't mean the stars were going home. The proverbial after-parties took center stage in Hollywood last night, post-MTV Movie Awards. We hit the clubs and report back with our exclusive observations.

A couple of the "Fantastic Four" cast -- we'll call them the Terrific Two -- Chris Evans and Ioan Gruffudd partied at the official MTV function held at Universal Studios. Porno King Ron Jeremy and "Hairspray" star Amanda Bynes were also in attendance. Over at Sugar, they sure were shady at the door to Rihanna's party. The doormen irritated Jay-Z when he was trying to make his entrance and even made that sexy Nicole from the Pussycat Dolls wait several minutes to enter.

Inside, the woman of the night -- Rihanna -- shunned the VIP section in favor of showing off her drop-dead, any-guy-would-want-to-marry-me-now-knockout red dress. On the dance floor, she danced to her own music, Sean Paul and Beyonce. Meanwhile, another cutie was in the building: "Entourage" member Lauren London. Funnyman Chris Tucker cooled out with Giant Magazine Editor-in-Chief Smokey Fontaine (Giant sponsored the party in celebration of Rihanna being their current covergirl) and another jokester, Guy Torre, was seen shaking hands and rubbing shoulders as well.
