"X-Men: First Class" Teaser Trailer Screenshots

Superherohype.com has taken the time to create some screen grabs of the new "X-Men: First Class" teaser trailer. Click Here for the photo gallery.

X-Men: First Class: "Charts the epic beginning of the X-Men saga, and reveals a secret history of famous global events. Before mutants had revealed themselves to the world, and before Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr took the names Professor X and Magneto, they were two young men discovering their powers for the first time. Not archenemies, they were instead at first the closest of friends, working together with other Mutants (some familiar, some new), to stop Armageddon. In the process, a grave rift between them opened, which began the eternal war between Magneto's Brotherhood and Professor X's X-Men.

First Image of 'The Hobbit' Cast

Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit, is a peaceful sort of cozy hole in the Shire, a place where adventures are uncommon and rather unwanted. So when the wizard Gandalf whisks him away on a treasure hunting expedition with a troop of rowdy dwarves, he’s not entirely thrilled. Encountering ruthless trolls, beastly orcs, gigantic spiders, and hungry wolves, Bilbo discovers within himself astonishing strength and courage. And at the ultimate confrontation with the fearsome dragon Smaug, the hobbit will brave the dangers of dark and dragon fire alone and unaided.

A Honey Pot Of "Winnie the Pooh" Images 

Head over to the Coming Soon Gallery for the rest.

Walt Disney Animation Studios returns to the Hundred Acre Wood with “Winnie the Pooh,” the first big-screen Pooh adventure from Disney animation in more than 35 years. With the charm, wit and whimsy of the original featurettes, this all-new movie reunites audiences with the philosophical “bear of very little brain” and friends Tigger, Rabbit, Piglet, Kanga, Roo—and last, but certainly not least, Eeyore, who has lost his tail.   “Well a tail is either there or it isn’t there,” said Pooh. “And yours isn’t… there.”  Owl sends the whole gang on a wild quest to save Christopher Robin from an imaginary culprit. It turns out to be a very busy day for a bear who simply set out to find some hunny. Inspired by five stories from A.A. Milne’s books in Disney’s classic, hand-drawn art style, “Winnie the Pooh” hits theaters July 15, 2011.

Shane Black Could Write/Direct Iron Man 3

I feel like Jim Carrey in The Truman Show. Are you there, Ed Harris? It feels like it...

Heat Vision is hearing the world may get that Kiss Kiss Bang Bang reunion we've all been clamoring for. Its writer/director Shane Black, also behind penning the first two Lethal Weapons – you know, the ones we keep going back to, has met with Marvel executives about taking on Iron Man 3.

Be for warned, the job is yet his and other filmmakers (unnamed at this time) are additionally in contention. That said, as stated upon the news of Jon Favreau's exit, star Robert Downey Jr. has directorial approval before anything else can move forward on the third Shellhead adventure already slated for a May 2013 release.

Make this happen, movie gods.
