    Antje Traue Featured On "Seventh Son" Character Poster

    In a time long past, an evil is about to be unleashed that will reignite the war between the forces of the supernatural and humankind once more. Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges) is a knight who had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), centuries ago. But now she has escaped and is seeking vengeance. Summoning her followers of every incarnation, Mother Malkin is preparing to unleash her terrible wrath on an unsuspecting world. Only one thing stands in her way: Master Gregory.

    In a deadly reunion, Gregory comes face to face with the evil he always feared would someday return.

    Poster & Trailer For "I Declare War"

    Armed with nothing more than twigs, their imaginations and a simple set of rules, a group of 12-year-olds engaged in a lively game of Capture the Flag in the neighborhood woods start dangerously blurring the lines between make-believe and reality. Rocks = Grenades. Trees = Control towers. Sticks = Submachine guns. The youthful innocence of the game gradually takes on a different tone as the quest for victory pushes the boundaries of friendship. The would-be warriors get a searing glimpse of humanity's dark side as their combat scenario takes them beyond the rules of the game and into an adventure where fantasy combat clashes with the real world.

    "Filth" Red Band Trailer With James McAvoy & Jamie Bell

    Scheming Bruce Robertson (McAvoy), a bigoted and corrupt policeman, is in line for a promotion and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. Enlisted to solve a brutal murder and threatened by the aspirations of his colleagues, including Ray Lennox (Jamie Bell), Bruce sets about ensuring their ruin, right under the nose of unwitting Chief Inspector Toal. As he turns his colleagues against one another by stealing their wives and exposing their secrets, Bruce starts to lose himself in a web of deceit that he can no longer control. His past is slowly catching up with him, and a missing wife, a crippling drug habit and suspicious colleagues start to take their toll on his sanity. The question is: can he keep his grip on reality long enough to disentangle himself from the filth?

    Tom Hanks As Walt Disney In First Official Photo From "Saving Mr. Banks" 

    I feel like Tom Hanks has fallen off the face of the earth lately. I might be wrong, but this guy is a long way removed from Forest Gump. It's nice to see him starring in a possible Oscar Bait movie with the always solid Emma Thompson.

    I personally would have never cast the prolific actor as Walt Disney but based on the below photo from Saving Mr. Banks he certainly looks the part and we know the guy can act.

    When Walt Disney's daughters begged him to make a movie of their favorite book, P.L. Travers' "Mary Poppins," he made them a promise - one that he didn't realize would take 20 years to keep. In his quest to obtain the rights, Walt comes up against a curmudgeonly, uncompromising writer who has absolutely no intention of letting her beloved magical nanny get mauled by the Hollywood machine. But, as the books stop selling and money grows short, Travers reluctantly agrees to go to Los Angeles to hear Disney's plans for the adaptation.

    For those two short weeks in 1961, Walt Disney pulls out all the stops. Armed with imaginative storyboards and chirpy songs from the talented Sherman brothers, Walt launches an all-out onslaught on P.L. Travers, but the prickly author doesn't budge. He soon begins to watch helplessly as Travers becomes increasingly immovable and the rights begin to move further away from his grasp.

    It is only when he reaches into his own childhood that Walt discovers the truth about the ghosts that haunt her, and together they set Mary Poppins free to ultimately make one of the most endearing films in cinematic history.

    Ford Answers Dodge Ram - "Man Of Steel" Tie-In With "F150 Super Hero" Commercial

    About a month ago Dodge launched a commercial featuring shots from Man Of Steel with music from the film inter spliced with their newest rendition of the Dodge Ram. The spot (below) featured a voice over that said, "Everyone has the ability to do something amazing, some just do it on a more regular basis, in dealerships everywhere, in theaters June 14th."

    Really solid tie-in spot, great display of synergy between Warner Bros & Dodge, even if Ford didn't think so. They have responded with a commercial of their own, featuring the new F150 with the slogan, "Trust The Strength, Feel The Power"

    New "The Lifeguard" Trailer Starring Kristen Bell

    Leigh (Kristen Bell) is almost 30, and living a seemingly perfect life in New York. But when her career and love life both come crashing down, she flees to her suburban hometown and regresses right back into teenage life and behavior. She moves into her old room with her parents, hangs around with friends who never left town, and reclaims her high school job as a condo-complex lifeguard. But as Leigh enjoys shirking adult life and responsibilities and enters into an illicit affair, she begins a chain reaction that affects those closest to her. With an all-star cast that also includes Martin Starr (“Party Down,” “Knocked Up”), Mamie Gummer (“Side Effects”) and Oscar nominee Amy Madigan, it’s a journey that’s both hilarious and heartfelt. Presented by Screen Media Films & Focus World, the alternative distribution of Focus Features.

    Warner Bros. Waves Bye To Legendary & Hi To Dune, RatPac, & Brett Ratner

    It wasn't even several days ago I SPECULATED that maybe Christopher Nolan's Syncopy could take Legendary's place at the Burbank table with The Brothers Warner. I was way off.  According to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER the studio is now dotting the "I's" & crossing the "T's" on a 400+ million financing package with Dune Entertainment. You might remember Dune from such mega hits as Avatar & Marley And Me, when they were in bed with Fox.

    RatPac Entertainment, the joint venture between popcorn flick director Brett Ratner & Australian Kabillionaire James Packer is also part of the deal. I'm theorizing here, but I wonder if this means we could see Brett Ratner behind the lense of Justice League or a possible Batman reboot. At the very least I can see him producing all of their comicbook flicks or even sheparding the entire DC universe.

    Legendary Pictures has yet to announce who their new partner in crime is but the deal between Warner Bros and Dune does not involve the luxuries that Legendary once enjoyed. Legendary had the right to refuse certain films if they didn't believe they were financially viable. The new pact with Dune would involve financial involvement in Warner Bros entire slate for the next 3 to 4 years. So in other words, they can't say "no" to the next Green Lantern like Legendary did.

    Sounds like Warner Bros just dumped the Mathletes Captain and is taking the Head Cheerleader to Prom.

    Amanda Seyfried Is "Lovelace" In New UK Trailer

    In 1972—before the internet, before the porn explosion—"Deep Throat" was a phenomenon: the first scripted pornographic theatrical feature film, featuring a story, some jokes, and an unknown and unlikely star, Linda Lovelace. Escaping a strict religious family, Linda discovered freedom and the high-life when she fell for and married charismatic hustler Chuck Traynor. As Linda Lovelace she became an international sensation—less centerfold fantasy than a charming girl-next-door with an impressive capacity for fellatio. Fully inhabiting her new identity, Linda became an enthusiastic spokesperson for sexual freedom and uninhibited hedonism. Six years later she presented another, utterly contradictory, narrative to the world—and herself as the survivor of a far darker story.

    "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" Teaser Poster

    Very similar to what has been done with past Superman films, where the marketing team uses the familiar \S/ logo as a tease, below is the teaser poster for Captain America: The Winter Soldier. The poster displays a battle worn shield and the date of release. Simple but effective. I'm sure this will be displayed and available at Comic Con.

    The story picks up where Marvel's The Avengers left off, as Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and teams up with Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, to battle a powerful yet shadowy enemy in present-day Washington, D.C.
