The concert film has gone out of vogue, so we're curious to see if Metallica can resurrect the form with 'Metallica Through the Never,' which combines concert footage with the imagination/hallucinations/whatever of the main character played by 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2's Dane DeHaan. Here's the first trailer, and it's... interesting.
Though 'The Hangover' may have inspired some raunchy comedies, few have matched the genius of the first film (including the most recent sequel). Watching the 'We're the Millers' trailer gives us hope that it could be as good (if not better) that any of the 'Hangover' movies.
Though the advertising for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' has mostly focused on the epic battles between monsters and giant robots (which are called Jaegers), we're curious if there is more going on in the movie that just large scale smackdowns. The latest featurette allays our fears by playing up the "neural handshake" that happens between the Jaegers co-pilots.
'The Hangover Part III' is due out in a week, and the one thing the trailers and posters have hammered home is that this is the final chapter of the series. The movie, which stars Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Ken Jeong, is promising closure and this latest (likely final) NSFW trailer plays up that this is the end.
'Mission: Impossible 5' is quickly moving forward now that Tom Cruise has signed the dotted line for a fourth sequel. And to speed things up, 'Iron Man 3' screenwriter Drew Pearce has been brought in to pen the latest installment.
Warner Brothers has had their sights on a remake of Sam Peckinpah's western masterpiece 'The Wild Bunch' for quite some time, and they may have found their perfect leading man in Will Smith, who's looking to produce and star in their contemporary version.
One of the gimmicks behind Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's 'This is the End' is that the cast is loaded with celebrities playing themselves. But that gets interesting when you have a performer like James Franco, whose life has become an art project. In this new featurette, you can see how the actors approached playing themselves.
Simon Pegg likes to keep busy. Not only will he be in the upcoming 'Star Trek Into Darkness' and Edgar Wright's 'The World's End,' he's signed up to appear in Joe Dante's next film 'Casting the Runes.'
Last year, right around this time, 'Community' fans were shocked and awed that the show would return for season 4... but without series creator/showrunner Dan Harmon. The fourth season was wobbly, and Harmon's presence was sorely missed, but now there's word/a ray of hope that he could be brought back for the recently announced fifth season.
