Whether you loved or hated "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," it's fair to say that there were a few things that could be improved upon in a sequel (except Joseph Gordon-Levitt's performance as "The Doctor"/Rex though. He was awesome). Now with a second film looming and a lengthy trailer we've overanalyzed it's time to find out what the stars of "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" are saying about the film.

When MTV News caught up with Channing Tatum during the press day for his new romantic drama "The Vow" recently, we asked him to dish on a few details about the film.

When word got out back in October that charming and likable actors Matt Damon and John Krasinski were writing a movie together, we were instantly intrigued. Especially since the film was supposed to be Damon's directorial debut. And while the "We Bought A Zoo" actor's too busy schedule recently changed that plan, the fact that his "Good Will Hunting" director Gus Van Sant is now at the helm of the film only enhances our initial intrigue.

MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with actor/writer Krasinski recently during the press day for "Big Miracle," at which time we pressed him for a few details about the film, which follows a salesman who reevaluates his life after moving to a small town.

"It’s a really cool film, it’s a really special film," Krasinski said. "Having Gus Van Sant come on board to direct it is insane on so many levels. I still haven’t processed it quite yet. Matt unfortunately couldn’t direct because timing and he only has 60,000 projects going that he has to shoot tomorrow, so he couldn’t do it and Gus signed on like eight or ten hours later which was insane. It’s a really fun movie and having him at the helm will really make it perfect I think."

For all of our fellow "Game Of Thrones" fans, that April 1 season two premiere date just can't come soon enough. What is going to happen in Westeros?!? Which beloved characters will live and die this time around?!? And while those of us who've read the books know a few answers to those questions, you never know when we'll get thrown a curveball.

Nevertheless, we've started to get some pretty good teases about what's going down in the upcoming season: Cersei's losing her mind, Tyrion is going into battle and now thanks to a recent chat with Emilia Clarke, we have some news of... dragons.

For all of the things that we love and obsess over on HBO's brilliant "Game Of Thrones", there are definitely a couple elements that we love to hate. Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, is one of them.

George R.R. Martin gets the lion's share of credit here for Cersei's creation, but we also have to hand it to Headey and her wonderfully cold, calculated and often infuriating (in a good way) portrayal. MTV News caught up with Headey recently at HBO's Golden Globes after-party, where she gave a little preview of what Cersei will be up to in season two.

"She loses things that she loves and she loses her mind slowly," Headey said. "And she kind of goes to war with Tyrion."

Just about all we need to know about a new Quentin Tarantino movie to be interested is the fact that he is making a new movie. With "Django Unchained," the latest project in question, we have been completely sold ever since the cast and plot synopsis were announced.

Part of what have made Tarantino's scripts so memorable in the past is the way the director handles violence: he doesn't shy away from it. Whether he's removing Nazi scalps or squishing eyeballs between toes, Taratino has made violence his own with the help of veteran makeup and special effects artist Greg Nicotero.

MTV News recently caught up with Nicotero, who worked with Tarantino on "Pulp Fiction," both "Kill Bill" films and "Inglourious Basterds," and the legend shared some insight into what we can expect from the auteur this time around.

Fans of writer-director Steven Soderbergh know him to be one of the most interesting filmmakers in the biz. From his beginnings with independent films, to blockbusters and documentaries, the Oscar-winner is constantly thinking up new ways to tell unique stories with film.

For his latest effort, "Haywire," the idea came to Soderbergh after seeing MMA fighter-turned-first-time actress Gina Carano in action in the cage.

The film puts Carano front and center as a black ops super soldier who seeks the ultimate revenge after she is betrayed by her colleagues. Those colleagues are played by the very capable Ewan McGregor, Channing Tatum, Michael Fassbender, Antonio Banderas and Michael Douglas.

Although our beloved "Game of Thrones" didn't take home the top prize for Best Drama at the Golden Globes on Sunday, we can be very happy for the continued support and recognition of Best Supporting Actor winner Peter Dinklage. People should get used to seeing him win awards actually, because as long as the series continues, he will very likely be blowing our minds with his brilliant portrayal of Tyrion Lannister.

MTV News was lucky enough to attend HBO's fancy Globes after-party Sunday night at which we encountered Dinklage and his bright, shiny new award. After offering our sincerest congratulations, we asked him how much battle action Tyrion will be seeing next season, particularly with regard to that little event at Blackwater...

"I think there were some fans that were disappointed that the end of the first season there wasn't a battle. We do not disappoint this season," Dinklage promised. "I think my character steps to the front in terms of fighting."

So much mystery surrounding this "Prometheus" flick... how much "Alien" DNA will it really have? Which characters will live and which will die? Who will make an awesome cameo? So many questions and so many months to mull them over while we wait for the film's release on June 8.

In addition to the newly-released still of star Noomi Rapace all space-suited up and looking on in wonder, we had a little chat with actor Guy Pearce at the Golden Globes during which he confirmed that he is indeed in the film, if only for a hot second or two.

When asked about his experience on set, Pearce said it was everything we'd assume it would be, amazing and fantastic.

"I'm only [in the film] for a minute, but it was a real honor to work with Ridley [Scott], to see what was going on," he said. "I think Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace and Charlize Theron and everybody will do a really spectacular job."

There really is nothing more delightful than an encounter with Andy Serkis. He is just so darn humble and nice, not to mention spectacularly talented. Our latest run-in with the "Tintin" and "Rise Of The Planet of the Apes" actor was at the Golden Globes which Serkis was attending in support of "Tintin," which took home the trophy for Best Animated Film (How much did you love the fact that director Steven Spielberg gave Serkis a special shout-out in his acceptance speech, by the way?)

While we could have spent plenty of time talking with Serkis about his most recently celebrated characters (Captain Haddock and Caesar, respectively) we couldn't ignore the fact that he's currently flexing familiar precious muscles as Gollum for the filming of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit," so we rolled the dice and asked Serkis for his thoughts on the infamous and evil Smaug.

Forget the Volturi. In "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli's screenwriting debut, "Loosies," the actor's traded in villainous vamps for a more real (albeit, less toothy) foe: NYPD's finest. Facinelli plays Bobby, a charismatic pickpocket who roams the New York City subway looking for hapless marks while alluding the cop whose badge he pilfered. The script took Facinelli only three weeks to write, but seven years to bring to the big-screen, giving him plenty of time to prepare—including mastering his character's career skills.

"I worked with a magician. I tried to keep it all on the up and up," Facinelli told MTV News when asked if he consulted any real-life lifters for authenticity. "His forte was pickpocketing, so he taught me how to swipe watches. It's very much a distraction. You distract them in one area and go for the other area. And then I just practiced on crew members."
