Well there's certainly a theme in these videos. "Twilight" coverage very nearly sweeps our top San Diego Comic-Con video clips from the past week. Only one mainstream comic book-related property even breaches the top five, and it still falls a couple thousand clicks short of the next highest performing video.
You Twilighters impress me, but you also scare me a little. You showed up in force at a veritable Mecca of geek culture, outdoing a very driven assortment of fan communities with your fervor. Again (let's not forget last year). I'm starting to think that watching "Twilight" may have this "Ring"-like effect on people, and that every day more and more of us are being forcibly inducted into your vampire army. But to what end? You watch these videos while I try to work through your nefarious plans. Read more...

He’s one of the most legendary filmmakers of all time. His status as a Hollywood personality is unrivaled. His talents have given audiences a new, wholly original film virtually every single year since 1969.
So, how do two young actors relate to Woody Allen? For starters, they look to “Whatever Works.”

FROM SPLASH PAGE: During a recent press junket for April 24th’s “The Soloist,” actor Robert Downey Jr. confirmed with MTV News what comics fans had long been expecting: Tony Stark will indeed have two lovely ladies vying for his attention in “Iron Man 2”.
Of course, Gwyneth Paltrow is set to return as assistant/love interest Pepper Potts, but the sequel will also see the addition of Scarlett Johansson as Russian agent Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. Black Widow.

FROM SPLASH PAGE: Earlier this month, it seemed Emily Blunt was poised to make the leap from critically adored actress to household name. Word was she’d been cast as Black Widow in the sequel to last year’s $580 million blockbuster comic book adaptation “Iron Man.” After her scene-stealing “Devil Wears Prada” role and a gripping turn in “Sunshine Cleaning ” (in theaters now), a major part in a big-budget tentpole movie seemed only appropriate.
As it turned out, Blunt indeed landed what could be her breakout role, except it won’t be alongside Marvel’s Tony Stark in "Iron Man 2," but rather with Jack Black in Fox’s “Gulliver’s Travels.” In a conversation with MTV News, Blunt spoke out about having to drop out of “Iron Man” because of a scheduling conflict with “Gulliver’s.”

"He's Just Not That Into You" has quite the star-studded cast. So, how does a young Hollywood starlet make a splash at a premiere that will include all your gorgeous castmates, both male and female? If you're Scarlett Johansson, you debut your new brunette locks.
The gorgeous ex-blond looked radiant last night at the Hollywood premiere of her upcoming romantic comedy, along side the likes of co-stars Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Ben Affleck, Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Connelly. Not only did Scarlett stand out with her long brown hair, but also in her pink floral gown. The contrast between dark hair and bright dress stood out against the blue pastel of the step-and-repeat backdrop. All-in-all a red carpet triumph for the actress. (Check out the hair after the jump, and then view the full photo gallery from the "He's Just Not That Into You" premiere.) Read more...
What's certainly one of the most interesting films of the year has finally arrived. Comic book legend Frank Miller's adaptation of "The Spirit" (from the even more legendary Will Eisner) has faced a closely-watched ride to the box office. As soon as the first trailer premiered here on MTV.com, fans were already wondering whether the style Miller applied so perfectly to "Sin City" was the right move for a renowned superhero character from the 1940s.
Audiences (and Kurt Loder) will answer that question, but one thing's for sure: Miller's impressive cast stands behind the film. In our exclusive interview after the jump, stars Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson talk shop about their villainous characters, and then move on to their musical aspirations and whether they'll be gracing the stage of Obama's inauguration (click here for all that). For those who grab a ticket, don't forget to return with your thoughts. Read more...
Even if poor Scarlett Johansson and Samuel L. Jackson were sick as dogs during my weekend chat with them they still were awfully entertaining. We'll be unveiling our full interview in a matter of days but we've got a choice few moments to share with you right now. First of all if you're wondering if Scarlett's got another album up her sleeve, check out this story and you'll see she's in the music business for the long haul.
And then there's Scarlett's relationship with Barack Obama. Remember their supposed email relationship that emerged over the summer? Well, it sounds like Scarlett's not going to be emailing the President-elect anytime soon. "I'm banned from using my email now. The media won't allow that," she said. Watch the rest below.
Michael Caine is without a doubt an international treasure, an actor in possession of a great and nearly endless talent. Bless him, the same cannot be said of his memory, which goes from spotty, to just plain wrong.
We’re going to give him the benefit of the doubt here (unlike with Batman 3 stuff. Did we mention that was wrong?) and assume this next bit of news is in the former camp, something that’s true even if he can’t recall the details.
Why? Mostly because it’s a doozy.
“I have ‘Harry Brown,’” the actor said of his elderly vigilante film. “Then I’ll probably do a film with Scarlett Johansson. I forget what it’s called. It’s an adventure film. I was told yesterday that they have Matthew McConaughey as the guy. I’ve got go home and read it again. It’s a heist adventure film.” Read more...
