Amber Heard, an actress best known on the big screen for playing sexy man-eaters (sometimes literally, as in the case of "Zombieland"), is snagging headlines today for coming out as a lesbian. The 24-year-old made her sexuality public at GLAAD's 25th anniversary party on Friday when she walked the red carpet with her girlfriend, photographer Tasya van Ree.
Just in time to honor Heard for her courageous move, MTV Movies Blog has scored an exclusive clip of the actress from the upcoming thriller "And Soon the Darkness."
In the film, two girlfriends, Stephanie (Heard) and Ellie ("Cloverfield" star Odette Yustman), head to exotic Argentina for a relaxing girls' getaway filled with bar-hopping, sun-soaking and flirting with the local dudes. All is grand until Ellie goes missing, seemingly part of a string of unsolved tourist kidnappings. Distrusting the local sheriff, Stephanie teams with a kindly American ex-pat (Karl Urban) to find her friend. But who can she really trust? And can she find Ellie -- dun, dun, dun! -- before darkness falls? Read More...

'Escape From New York' Will Be Remake With A New Snake Plissken... But Who Will It Be?
Posted 2/11/10 3:30 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in Commentary
There's no getting around it: Snake Plissken is a badass. It even says so in his contract. In John Carpenter's "Escape from New York," Kurt Russell put forth a truly memorable performance as the eyepatch-wearing former Army lieutenant charged with rescuing the U.S. President from the self-appointed Duke of New York (Isaac Hayes). So iconic was the role that the star of the coming remake is going to have his work cut out for him in matching it.
Fortunately, there are some very talented performers out there. Among them are a select few who possess the chops to strike the right balance between menacing badass and one-liner spouting... something. Who are they? Hit the jump and see for yourself.
