Best Movie Trailers of 2010

In Hollywood these days, it is all about the marketing. Create a buzz-worthy trailer, maybe let it leak or show it at Comic-Con, and then let fan enthusiasm work its magic. As we've seen over the past few years, this formula doesn't always lead to success (just look at "The Last Airbender" or "Watchmen" for proof), but it does give us the opportunity to get boatloads of amazing trailers year round, and 2010 was definitely no exception.

With the end of the year quickly approaching, we're sentimentally reflecting on all our favorite film-related things of 2010 here at MTV Movies Blog... and it seems only fair that we round up our list of the top 10 trailers of 2010. Some of the films have yet to be released, some came out so long ago we almost forgot that they debuted this year, but all of them are guaranteed awesome. Check out our list (and watch the trailers) after the jump! Read More...

President Obama Admits To Loving 'I Love You, Man,' So We Guess His Other Favorite Flicks

Posted 12/13/10 2:50 pm EST by in Humor, News


President Obama and Paul RuddWe're all big fans of Paul Rudd here at MTV Movies Blog, but we weren't aware until this weekend that our appreciation for his comedic talent is shared by Paul McCartney (who appeared with Rudd on this weekend's "Saturday Night Live") and President Barack Obama. And both of them told him in person.

That's right, Obama invited Rudd and his "How Do You Know" co-star Reese Witherspoon to the Oval office so he could say hello to them while they were shooting the film in Washington, D.C. "We went to the Oval Office, and there was Hillary Clinton having a meeting with Joe Biden. It was insane," Witherspoon told Entertainment Weekly. "Then Obama came out and he turned to Paul and said, 'I loved you in "I Love You, Man."'I grabbed Paul and I was like, 'Are you freaking out right now?' He's like, 'I'm freaking out!'"

Not going to lie, we love the fact that Obama digs on one of our favorite recent films, so that got us thinking about which other films our current POTUS might secretly love. After all, we already know he's a fan of "Battlestar Galactica." Check out our list after the jump. Read More...

Movies Halloween Costumes With A Twist: Cross-Dressing Harry Potter, Birthing Bella Swan And More!

Posted 10/27/10 6:00 am EST by in Humor


Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsHalloween is fast approaching, and unsurprisingly here at the MTV Movies Blog we have a soft spot for movie-themed costumes. There's tons of inspiration to be taken from films released in 2010, which means that the streets are probably going to be overrun with people dressed up in Mad Hatter and Na'vi costumes purchased from the store. But there's plenty of room to save your pennies and be creative without just throwing on a hoodie and calling yourself Mark Zuckerberg or pulling out your best suit and saying you're Don Draper or a member of the "Inception" dream team (pun intended).

We're getting rid of your excuse to be lazy this Halloween and bequeathing unto you some costume ideas that will make your friends cringe -- whether it's out of good old-fashioned horror or due to the sheer magnitude of your costume's disregard for good taste (we apologize in advance if we inadvertently offend anyone). So hit the jump for five original twists on movie-themed costumes to spice up your Halloween. Read More...

Scott Pilgrim Vs. The Water In Today's Daily TwitPic

Posted 8/12/10 8:58 am EST by in Daily TwitPic


Talk about a headline writing itself. You'll understand when you see today's Daily TwitPic.

I actually saw "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" last night with MTV Splash Page editor Rick Marshall. It's a week of tough choices for guys going to the movies, between Pilgrim's video game-fueled frenzy and the testosterone-drenched action of Sylvester Stallone's ensemble throwback, "The Expendables." My recommendation? Make it a double-feature weekend. It's impossible to pick one or the other, so just choose both.

The pic after the jump, tweeted by Mark Webber (who plays Stephen Stills in the movie), is better seen than described. It's basically "Pilgrim" star Michael Cera goofing off on set. But it's a bizarre moment in the young actor's life, forever captured on digital film and archived on the Internet for future generations to puzzle over. Read More...

Alanis Morissette Pregnant, The HPOA Girl And Scott Pilgrim All Wet In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 8/11/10 5:20 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


Just Diablo Cody's pregnancy tweets have come to an end, so have Alanis Morissette's begun. The singer and actress proudly proclaimed her new status today, and seems to have picked up the baton where the Cody left it.

A few posts sneaked out of current entertainment projects as well over the last 24 hours, as Mark Webber showed off a Michael Cera shot that he saved from "Scott Pilgrim vs. The Wold," Robert Rodriguez completed "Machete," and Ice-T discussed Jennifer Love Hewitt's involvement in an upcoming episode of "Law and Order: SVU." Find out more about that, as well as what Stephen Colbert thinks about the girl in the job-quitting whiteboard prank after the jump.

I'm @brianwarmoth, and below you'll see Twitter-Wood for August 11, 2010. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' Clip Brings A Tense Showdown

Posted 7/23/10 11:57 am EST by in Comic-Con 2010, Summer Blockbusters 2010, Video


A lucky crew at San Diego Comic-Con got to catch the very first screening of Edgar Wright's finished version of "Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World" last night. Did I mention how lucky they are? Jerks. Those of us who weren't there, which is most of you readers I'd wager, will have to settle for this clip.

It's a great clip, don't get me wrong. You get a feel for the inventive style of editing Wright employed in bringing the comic book to life. It's just not the whole movie. For some odd reason, we're not allowed to embed that. Go figure.

You get a taste of that in the below exclusive clip, which premiered last night at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.

Anna Kendrick Says 'Scott Pilgrim' Is A Fusion Of 'Kill Bill' And 'Ferris Bueller'

Posted 1/27/10 3:30 pm EST by in News, Video


Moreso than most movies, "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World" has us feeling terribly conflicted. On one hand, we're such fans of the source material for Edgar Wright's adaptation that we're eager to know as much as possible (and as soon as possible) about how it's being brought to life on the screen. On the other hand, we don't want to ruin the surprises Wright has planned for us.

That's why we can't help but ask the "Scott Pilgrim" cast about the film whenever we get a chance — and to be honest, we're kind of relieved when they don't give away too much about the film. Take, for example, our recent conversation with actress Anna Kendrick, who plays Stacey Pilgrim:

"I've seen it. It's awesome," said Kendrick when asked if she's been one of the lucky few to have screened the film. "There's nothing to compare it to. It's like the energy from 'Ferris Bueller' and the action from 'Kill Bill.' It's amazing."

What do you think of Kendrick's description? Let us know in the comment section or on Twitter!

MTV Splash Page Wants To Know Which 2010 Comic Book Movie You're Most Looking Forward To

Posted 12/2/09 11:30 am EST by in Poll


FROM SPLASH PAGE: As we approach the end of the year, it's nice to know we have a lot to look forward to in 2010 — at least as far as comic book movies go.

From "The Losers" and "Kick-Ass" in April to "Red" and "The Green Hornet" closing out the year, there's quite a bit going on next year with adaptations of comic book properties — including a few projects that don't have release dates yet. While the May arrival of "Iron Man 2" seems like a no-brainer for next year's most anticipated film, I have a sneaking suspicion that some of the other films with significant buzz around them (like "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World," for example) have fans eagerly anticipating the end of '09 and the beginning of the next movie cycle.

So, what has you most excited for the onset of 2010 films? Is it the all-star cast of "Red"? Josh Brolin and Megan Fox doing a grim and gritty turn in "Jonah Hex"? The "Twilight"-meets-"True Blood" casting of "Priest"? Now's your chance to let us know what you're itching to know more about and finally see in theaters next year.

'Shaun of the Dead' Director Edgar Wright Brings His Zombie Comedy And Other Films To Toronto

Posted 2/25/09 10:31 am EST by in News


'Shawn of the Dead'At the end of zombie comedy “Shaun of the Dead,” the flesh-eating ghoulies that terrorize London are domesticated—integrated into everyday life as grocery store employees and game show contestants. Coldplay even starts a ZOMB-AID charity to benefit the “mobile deceased.” Clearly, the makers of “Shaun” had real affection for their undead and couldn’t leave them behind.

Now director and co-writer Edgar Wright will have a chance once again to chill with his reanimated corpses as he screens the film in Toronto during a month-and-a-half long festival of the Brit auteur’s own work and many of his favorite films. Read More...
