    Six New "The Great Gatsby" Posters

    The Great Gatsby follows Fitzgerald-like, would-be writer Nick Carraway as he leaves the Midwest and comes to New York City in the spring of 1922, an era of loosening morals, glittering jazz and bootleg kings. Chasing his own American Dream, Nick lands next door to a mysterious, party-giving millionaire, Jay Gatsby, and across the bay from his cousin, Daisy, and her philandering, blue-blooded husband, Tom Buchanan. It is thus that Nick is drawn into the captivating world of the super rich, their illusions, loves and deceits. As Nick bears witness, within and without the world he inhabits, he pens a tale of impossible love, incorruptible dreams and high-octane tragedy, and holds a mirror to our own modern times and struggles.

    Thanks to 3D, 'G.I. Joe 3' is on the way

    As Paramount and MGM experienced firsthand with past January's Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, never underestimate 3D surcharges and those international markets. As Variety's Andrew Stewart Tweeted earlier, G.I. Joe Retaliation has cumed $132 million worldwide in its first four days of release (already breaking even on its $130 million budget). Not a bad amount for a movie that was pushed back at the last minute, and obviously more than good enough for Paramount to move forward with a follow-up.

    No details on plot or release date, as obviously the movie is in early stages, but expect most of the returning players from Retaliation to return -- Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Elodie Yung, Adrianne Padalecki -- as well as holdovers from The Rise of Cobra like Ray Park and Byung-hun Lee. And considering how packed summer is getting, expect Paramount and MGM to bow the film March 2015 instead.

    "Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain" Trailer

    Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain captures the laughter, energy and mayhem from Hart's 2012 concert tour, which spanned 10 countries and 80 cities, and generated over $32 million in ticket sales. Hart's "Let Me Explain" tour was one of the most successful comedy tours of all time, with more than 540,000 tickets sold. Both of his shows at New York's Madison Square Garden and his performance at London's O2 Arena sold out, as well as his appearances in Canada, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Amsterdam. The tour concluded this past New Year's Eve in Los Angeles by selling out the Staples Center and grossing over $1 million in revenue in one night. Only five other comedians – Andrew Dice Clay, Dane Cook, Chris Rock, Russell Peters and Eddie Murphy – have sold out Madison Square Garden where Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain was filmed.

    America's Gipsy Danger "Pacific Rim" Poster

    When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes—a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)—who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaegar from the past. Together, they stand as mankind’s last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

    2 Guns Trailer Is Boring

    A buddy-cop actioner where neither guy knows the other is an undercover cop? Alright, that's intriguing. Hire Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg as the cops in question. You have my curiosity. There's a pair I never thought of before but could see bouncing off each other well. And who doesn't enjoy the action flick during August, the hot closing month of summer where studios get more experimental with their releases.

    Too bad I was ready to fall asleep during the trailer. God knows how I'll manage during the actual film. Maybe you'll like what you see in 2 Guns.

    For Chinese Eyes Only - Iron Man 3 Gets Separate Version in China

    Back in its heyday, this would result in a three-disc DVD set. In today's environment focused less on Special Features and more on Instant Access, it's a montage some kid with editing software will cut together and post on YouTube.

    Marvel is preparing a Chinese version of Iron Man 3. For the best to please our future Masters once the US dollar bottoms out and they bail our asses out. We're getting the same basic film courtesy of Marvel and director Shane Black. Just adjusted for the Chinese market. You know, minor things like the Mandarin being the hero. Nothing major, kids.

    Here's the press release:

    "Marvel Studios and DMG announced that a Chinese version of Iron Man 3 will be released in China on a date to be announced in the near future. DMG, a Chinese media and entertainment company, collaborated with Marvel Studios on the Chinese elements in the film, and is marketing and distributing the film in China. While Marvel and DMG have decided not to apply for co-production status in China, the film includes significant Chinese elements. Renowned Chinese actor Wang Xueqi will appear in both the studio’s Chinese version of the film and in its international and domestic US version. Both versions of the film include Iron Man 3 footage filmed in Beijing in December. The Chinese version of the film will also feature a special appearance of China’s top actress, Fan Bingbing, and will offer specially prepared bonus footage made exclusively for the Chinese audience. Marvel Studios’ experience working on this film with Fan Bingbing and Wang Xueqi and in shooting in China has been very positive and has created a springboard for future collaboration with China’s talented stars and its growing film and television industry. The Iron Man cast and filmmakers look forward to bringing Iron Man back to China."

    "Becoming Traviata" Official Trailer - In theaters May 2013 

    The reinvention of Verdi’s masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Béziat’s thrilling new movie.  A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-François Sivadier’s working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a single chandelier, features Violetta and Alfredo (a darkly gorgeous Charles Castronovo) as the very essence of hipster-chic. Their passion, however, is for the ages. With music performed by the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Louis Langrée.

    "Venus And Serena" Trailer

    VENUS AND SERENA takes an unfiltered look into the remarkable lives of the greatest sister-act professional tennis has ever seen. In a sport where they were not welcomed, the indomitable Williams sisters faced the opposition with grace and courage not only breaking new ground for female and African American athletes everywhere, but dominating the women's game for over a decade. The film tells the inspiring story of how these two women, against all odds, but the help of visionary parents, made it to the top.

    VENUS AND SERENA also explores the struggle of these two aging superstars during the 2011 tennis season as they battle life and career-threatening health problems. In VENUS AND SERENA we gain unprecedented access into the sisters' lives - both in the spotlight - and behind closed doors, and we watch as they draw their greatest strengths from one another to overcome countless adversities.

    The Griswolds Return for Vacation Sequel

    The way Variety suggests it was never a done-deal Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo were coming back for the forthcoming Vacation sequel. Always felt like the other way around.

    They participated in the Hotel Hell Vacation short film and those Old Navy commercials. That said it all. It would take an act of God for them not to return. Ed Helms and Christina Applegate are the fresh-faces; the young hot stars if you will. But it isn't a Vacation movie without Clark and Ellen Griswold.

    It's all good though. Talks are underway. Even if their roles are nothing beyond extended cameos (which sounds like the case), they have enough material to flash their faces across every trailer and TV spot.
