TransformersTurns out we've been in the dark about all those awesome "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" posters we've been ogling over the past month.

Paramount Pictures announced today that there is a new app for the movie, TF3: Defend The Earth, that allows iPhone and iPod Touch users to scan the posters and convert them into an augmented reality experience. The app allows users to track down their nearest posters and, once they activate the augmented reality, participate in an exciting immersive game. So we'd suggest heading to your nearest IMAX or AMC to find out more!

In the news after the jump, find out which director is planning to reboot "War Games," see the new poster for "Brave" and surprise yourself at what fourth dimension is being implemented for "Spy Kids: All the Time in the World."

Saoirse RonanIn Hollywood, everything comes in threes. More often than not, that's referring to celebrity deaths and trilogies, but today it's about Saoirse Ronan, who is getting her third title role in just one year. First it was "Hanna," which cast Ronan as a 14-year-old Eastern European cold-blooded killing machine. Then it was opposite Alexis Bledel in "Violet and Daisy," which follows two teenage hitgirls named (duh!) Violet and Daisy who get sucked into some serious trouble.

To complete the hat trick, Production Weekly has announced via tweet that Ronan will be starring in the Emma Thompson- and Greg Wise-scripted flick "Effie," which would cast Ronan as -- you guessed it -- the title character Effie Gray. The film will follow Gray's disastrous marriage to John Ruskin, a Victorian art critic and poet, and focus largely on their sexual relationship (or lack thereof) and a love triangle that results from that. Sure, Ronan played a teenager who was raped (off camera) in "The Lovely Bones" and made some pretty big mistakes in "Atonement," but do we really need to point out that she's only 16? Read More...

Gemma ArtertonCasting is coming together for "Men In Black 3," and the names of those newly announced should get you plenty pumped for the upcoming threequel. The film will take place in both the present day and in 1969, and follow the MIB employees -- Will Smith's Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones's Agent K -- that we have come to know and love, as well as some newcomers.

According to Pajiba, Alec Baldwin is in negotiations to come aboard as the '69 Men In Black boss, while erstwhile Bond girl Gemma Arterton would play a secretary during that same period. "District 9" and "A-Team" star Sharlto Copley, meanwhile, is in negotiations to play what Pajiba describes as a "fast-talking Yoda type alien." Read More...

Emma Thompson
If you're a fantasy film fan, or if you simply have any children in your life, you might want to brace yourself for some good news and some bad news: Emma Thompson has been forced to choose between the "Harry Potter" and "Nanny McPhee" franchises. And in her mind, the choice was always obvious.

"No, no, no," the Oscar winner insisted when we asked whether she’d be returning as Professor Sybil Trelawney in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows". "I'm making my own 'Nanny McPhee' next year. They mean much more to me."

'Brideshead Revisited'By Adrianna Kourafas

Sure, everybody knows about the recent box-office success of “The Dark Knight.” But look a little further down the charts, and you’ll notice the name of a small movie-that-could pulling in some impressive summer numbers on a handful of screens: “Brideshead Revisited.”

The film stars “Watchmen” actor Matthew Goode, Oscar-winner Emma Thompson and relative newcomer Hayley Atwell. Based on a classic novel about wealth, sensuality and betrayal, Hollywood has been trying to make a film out of the 1945 Evelyn Waugh book for decades, but only now has someone like director Julian Jarrold (“Becoming Jane”) come along and figured out how to pull it off.
