Inception"The Dark Knight" is about to get some new friends on Facebook.

Just three weeks after Warner Bros. announced it would be kicking off a movie rental system on Facebook, in which for $3 or 30 Facebook credits you could watch a flick that you "like" (the first offered being Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winner "The Dark Knight"), the studio is now offering more films for your viewing pleasure.

As of Sunday, March 27, Nolan's other box-office-dominating Academy Award-winner "Inception," as well as "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," became available for Facebook users to watch.

'Yogi Bear' Alternate Ending Is The Best Thing You'll Watch All Day

Posted 12/13/10 5:26 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Humor, Video


Booboo in Yogi Bear"Hey, Boo Boo!" So begins this alternate ending to "Yogi Bear," in theaters this Friday (December 17). But while the clip begins with the salutation that has marked almost every Yogi-Boo Boo encounter since time immemorial, both on the small screen and in this new big-screen version, this meeting of the bears ends just a tad differently... specifically with Boo Boo blowing Yogi away with a shotgun. Seriously.

The animation is so clean and clear that online speculation is that the alternate ending was likely created by the film's animators themselves. Whether the hilariously morose clip made its way online purposefully or as an accident remains unclear, but two things are certain: 1) Warner Bros. has one hell of a marketing tool on their hands with this puppy and 2) watching this clip has brightened our day tenfold. Hit the jump to see the video. Read More...

'Yogi Bear' Teaser Trailer Arrives, Justin Timberlake Unrecognizable As Boo-Boo

Posted 7/29/10 9:12 am EST by in Trailers


The first trailer for "Yogi Bear" is officially online. My world isn't shaken by what we're seeing here, but I'm not 8 years old. I'm sure it's going to be a saccharine good time. Stars Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake do a great job with the voices of Yogi and Boo-Boo, respectively; a crucial component in making a Yogi Bear movie work. The live action cast is solid too, highlighted by Anna Faris and Tom Cavanagh. It just feels like this was made more with an eye towards bringing in a whole new Yogi audience; that's fine and not entirely unexpected... but what about all of those older fans?

As long as it's not "Garfield"...

EXCLUSIVE: 'Yogi Bear' Director Eric Brevig Thinks Justin Timberlake 'Nailed' The Voice Of Boo-Boo

Posted 4/1/10 10:18 am EST by in 3-D Week, News


"Yogi Bear" is one of the more defensible planned adaptations, a 3-D CG/live-action mix based on the classic '60s cartoon series. I only vaguely remember seeing -- and loving -- the original on TV growing up in the '80s, and I imagine that subsequent generations have little, if any, experience with it.

The basic plot of the original series follows two bears, Yogi and Boo-Boo (played in the movie by Dan Aykroyd and Justin Timberlake, respectively), who are constantly trying to swipe picnic baskets from visitors to the fictional Jellystone Park. Always there to thwart them is Ranger Smith (Tom Cavanagh in the movie). Speaking to "Yogi" helmer Eric Brevig in an exclusive interview, MTV's Eric Ditzian asked why it was deemed important to shoot the movie in 3-D. Read More...

'Yogi Bear' May Get A Ghostbuster, An N Sync'er And Anna Faris

Posted 11/6/09 11:00 am EST by in News


Remember kids, the truth is always far, far stranger than fiction. It was a little more than a year ago that we found out the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series "Yogi Bear" would be getting a big screen treatment. There was no casting announced or anything like that; just that the project was happening with "Surf's Up" director Ash Brannon at the helm and that it would feature a mix of live-action and CG animation.

Well today, the plot thickened. Variety reports that Anna Faris, Justin Timberlake and Dan Aykroyd are all in negotiations to join the cast of the movie, which will now be directed by "Journey to the Center of the Earth" helmer Eric Brevig from a script by Brad Copeland ("Wild Hogs"). Read More...

Yogi Bear Steals Picnic Baskets and the Big Screen For Live-Action/CGI Hybrid

Posted 10/2/08 10:40 am EST by in News


'Yogi Bear'Hollywood has heard your pleas, film fans! Beloved Hanna-Barbera character Yogi Bear is getting his own big-screen movie, courtesy of Warner Bros. Ash Brannon ("Surf's Up") is set to direct, and Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia of "That 70's Show" are penning the screenplay.

You all remember Yogi, of course. He and his little friend Boo-Boo created all kinds of trouble for campers at Yellowstone National Park by stealing their picnic baskets and consuming their contents in a relentless orgy of greed. They were constantly chased by the relentless Ranger Smith (shades of "The Matrix") but never defeated. Read More...
