Photo From "Hugo"

Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key. Based on Brian Selznick’s award winning and imaginative New York Times bestseller, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, this magical tale is Academy Award-winner Martin Scorsese’s first film shot in 3D.

"The Playboy Club" Promo Art

It’s the early ‘60s, and the legendary Playboy Club in Chicago is the door to all of your fantasies — and the key is the most sought-after status symbol of its kind. Inside the seductive world of the bunny, the epitome of beauty and service, the clientele rubs shoulders with the decade’s biggest mobsters, politicos and entertainers.

Nick Dalton is one of the city’s top attorneys and the ultimate playboy, rubbing elbows with everyone in the city’s power structure. With mysterious ties to the mob, Nick comes to the aid of Maureen, the stunning and innocent new bunny who accidentally kills the leader of the Bianchi crime family. Dating Nick is Carol-Lynne, a bombshell and established star at the club who knows her days as a bunny are numbered and finds herself continually at odds with Billy, the club’s general manager. Adding to the charm of the Playboy club is Janie, the carefree life of the party who is dating Max, an overly protective bartender.

Anne Hathaway Looks Purrfect On Set Of "The Dark Knight Rises"

I apologize for the title, I just had to do it. I promise I will try and not do it again.

A lot of set pictures are flowing like a the liquid concoction from the Lazarus Pits and forming a pool of photos on websites across the interwebs. It's a tad askew to have all this advance access into the filming of "The Dark Knight Rises", when Nolan is known for keeping things close to the cowl, and has on past Batman films.

That being thrown out there, it's pretty damn cool to get a glimpse into production, might be a luxury for some of you. The first image of feisty Anne Hathaway as Catwoman didn't exactly cause fanboys to rise as much as you would expect. Here are some more photos of Anne in a skin tight Catwoman suit. I'm not sure where the heck they originated but tell me what you think. Photos below.

Red Hair Warning: Amy Adams On The Set Of "Man Of Steel"

After debating the merit of every hair follicle on Henry Cavill's head and the color of Lawrence Fishburne's skin, fanboys might have something new to nerdplode about. The ManOfSteel Facebook Page has some new stills of the lovely Amy Adams on the set of Man Of Steel and believe it or not, she doesn't have brown hair! Can you imagine that, Lois Lane depicted without brown hair? That's comic blasphemy!

Before anybody lights their basement on fire, it is all together possible that Amy isn't in "costume". The previous Lois Lane via "Superman Returns", Kate Bosworth, wore a wig if I remember correctly. They had to hide cute Kate's golden locks. On the other hand, Adams might be going the strawberry blonde or whatever that color is route for this version of Superman. I'm perfectly fine with it. We're not splitting atoms here, we're fans of a fictional character that has a red cape and flies.

Wannabe Captain America Vs. Fireworks

This dude thought it would be a good idea to strap on a Captain America mask from Toys R Us and use a star spangled plastic shield to protect himself from his friend and a fast moving firework of some kind. Needless to say, Chris Evans would be extremely disappointed in his efforts.

"Last Call At The Oasis" Poster

Although it covers 70 percent of the earth’s surface, there is a very real possibility that in the near future, there won’t be enough water to sustain life on the planet. This documentary illuminates the vital role water plays in our lives, exposes the defects in the current system and shows communities already struggling with its ill-effects and individuals championing revolutionary solutions. Firmly establishing the urgency of the global water crisis as the central issue facing our world this century, the film posits that we can manage this problem if we are willing to act now.

A Threesome Of Actresses Up For "One Shot"

The HollyWoodReporter has unveiled that Hayley Atwell, Alexa Davalos, and Rosamund Pike are three names on the short list to play the female lead opposite Tom Cruise in "One Shot".

Christopher McQuarrie wrote the script so in my opinion, it must be good right? According to THR the decision is going to be made this week. I guess it would depend on shooting schedule among other factors.

Atwell did a solid job in "Captain America" and Davalos has some films under her belt including "Clash Of The Titans" and "Defiance". Pike is more low profile, although she had a role in "An Education.

Gun to my head? I think Atwell gets the role if she is available.

Six shots. Five dead. One heartland city thrown into a state of terror. But within hours the cops have it solved: a slam-dunk case. Except for one thing. The accused man says: You got the wrong guy. Then he says: Get Reacher for me.

And sure enough, ex–military investigator Jack Reacher is coming. He knows this shooter—a trained military sniper who never should have missed a shot. Reacher is certain something is not right—and soon the slam-dunk case explodes.

Now Reacher is teamed with a beautiful young defense lawyer, moving closer to the unseen enemy who is pulling the strings. Reacher knows that no two opponents are created equal. This one has come to the heartland from his own kind of hell. And Reacher knows that the only way to take him down is to match his ruthlessness and cunning—and then beat him shot for shot.

"American Reunion" Poster, Save The Best Piece For Last

In the comedy, all the "American Pie" characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married  while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

"Breaking Bad" Renewed For Final 16 Episodes

AMC announced today that "Breaking Bad," the Emmy Award-winning and critically lauded drama series from acclaimed writer/producer/director Vince Gilligan has been renewed for a 16 episode order that will conclude the series. Production on all episodes of the final order will commence in early 2012. The roll-out of the episodes and premiere date schedule has yet to be determined by the network. The announcement was made by Charlie Collier, president of AMC.

"Breaking Bad's" fourth season premiered on Sunday, July 18th to the highest ratings ever for the series. "From the day we heard Vince Gilligan's completely original vision for 'Breaking Bad,' it has been a complete joy to be involved with this show. Watching this story evolve into the complex, compelling, and intense roller coaster ride that it has become has been an incredible creative experience for everyone at AMC. Beyond that, working with Vince, his brilliant cast and crew, and our wonderful partners at Sony has been remarkable in every way. While it is sad to even contemplate the end of this series, we are so happy to have had the chance to go on this ride, and truly look forward to presenting the rest of this amazing story," said Collier.

"It's a funny irony -- I'd hate to know the date of my own last day on earth, but I'm delighted to know what Walter White's will be (episodically speaking). This is a great gift to me and to my wonderful writers. It's knowledge which will allow us to properly build our story to a satisfying conclusion. Now, if we don't manage to pull that off, we've got no one to blame but ourselves," said Vince Gilligan. "'Breaking Bad' has been a dream job these past four years. Working with the best cast and crew in television has no doubt spoiled me for future projects. I'm lucky to get to work with them on sixteen more episodes, and I will always be grateful to both AMC and Sony Television, who from the beginning, believed in our show and supported me creatively and professionally. We have been able to take risks with 'Breaking Bad' which would not have been possible on other networks."

"We've watched 'Breaking Bad' grow over the years with viewers, as championed by the unwavering support of critics and the well deserved accolades Vince and his talented actors have received. We're looking forward to seeing Vince's masterful storytelling come fully to fruition over the course of the series' final episodes," said Zack Van Amburg, President, programming for Sony Pictures Television.

"Breaking Bad" stars Emmy Award-winner Bryan Cranston as Walter White; Emmy Award-winner Aaron Paul as Jesse Pinkman; Anna Gunn as Skyler White; Dean Norris as Hank Schrader; Betsy Brandt as Marie Schrader; RJ Mitte as Walter, Jr; Bob Odenkirk as Saul Goodman; Giancarlo Esposito as Gus Fring; and Jonathan Banks as Mike. “Breaking Bad” is filmed on location in Albuquerque, NM.

The series first premiered on AMC in January 2008 and follows protagonist Walter White, a milquetoast high school chemistry teacher who lives in New Mexico with his wife, teenage son who has cerebral palsy and a new baby girl. White is diagnosed with Stage III cancer and given a prognosis of two years left to live. With a new sense of fearlessness based on his medical prognosis, and a desire to gain financial security for his family, White chooses to enter a dangerous world of drugs and crime and ascends to power in this world. The series explores how a fatal diagnosis such as White's releases a typical man from the daily concerns and constraints of normal society and follows his transformation from mild-mannered family man to a kingpin of the drug trade.

"Breaking Bad" is produced by High Bridge Productions, Inc. and Gran Via Productions in association with Sony Pictures Television for AMC. Executive Producers are Vince Gilligan, Mark Johnson, and Michelle MacLaren; Co-Executive Producers Melissa Bernstein and Sam Catlin; Supervising Producers Peter Gould, George Mastras, and Tom Schnauz; Producers Moira Walley-Beckett, Bryan Cranston, and Diane Mercer; Produced By Stewart A. Lyons; Associate Producer Andrew Ortner, Staff Writer Gennifer Hutchison; and Director of Photography Michael Slovis.
