They're Here - Another Viral Site for an Alien Invasion Film?

If you're an avid reader of FS.net, you'll know that we're big fans of any and all viral marketing games and concepts, big or small. Last week I came across an odd viral website located at theyrehere.net that seems like it's promoting a big, mysterious sci-fi flick. The site only contains some very ominous text stating "Meet Them" and "Be The First To See Them" and that all will be revealed on 10-10-10, but other than that I have no clue what this is. However, we just got an email today from the site with a link to a YouTube video that shows some amateur UFO footage. Other than that, we're still in the dark. Anyone want to help us figure out what this viral is for?

Jon Hamm Cast in Jennifer Westfeldt's New 'Friends with Kids'

If you're a follower/fan of "Mad Men's" hunky Jon Hamm, you probably already know that his wife is actress and filmmaker Jennifer Westfeldt (of Kissing Jessica Stein, Ira & Abby), who he took as his date to the Emmys last weekend (as seen above). According to Showbiz411 (via The Playlist), Hamm and Westfeldt are now teaming up for a feature. Westfeldt typically writes and stars in her own films, and she'll be doing the same with this. The project is called Friends with Kids and we don't have any plot details, but I imagine it's about, well, friends with kids. It was previewed last month in a script reading at a small theater festival.

The Adventure Begins - I'm Off to Telluride, Toronto & Austin

For the third straight year in a row, I'm embarking upon a massive 30-day non-stop film festival tour. I'm catching a flight this morning to kick things off starting at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado (Sept. 3 - 6), then I'll be heading up to the Toronto Film Festival (Sept. 9 to 19), and finally I'll be heading back to Fantastic Fest in Austin at the Alamo Drafthouse (Sept. 23 - 30). It's a very long trip, but I love every second of it, I live for this stuff. My partner in crime is Peter Sciretta of SlashFilm, who will be joining me on this exciting, exhausting and entertaining adventure to some of the best fests the film world has to offer.

Another Great International Trailer for Ryan Reynolds' Buried!

Paul Conroy Isn't Ready To Die. We've seen a few official trailers for Rodrigo Cortés' Buried before today, but this new international trailer (via UK's The Sun) actually has some good footage in it. I think Lionsgate's trailers are very bold, but I liked that they didn't show much footage because there's only so much they can show without ruining it. As a quick recap, Buried is that one-man, buried alive, stuck in a coffin thriller that I raved about at Sundance. If you truly want to enjoy the experience, then don't watch this trailer. But if you still need a bit more to convince you it's worth seeing, there's just enough in here to do that. Check this out!

First Look: Thurman and Angarano in Max Winkler's Ceremony

Another film I'm keeping a close eye on at the Toronto Film Festival is Ceremony. It's the feature debut of Max Winkler, son of Henry Winkler, who wrote the script and directed a cast including Michael Angarano (Forbidden Kingdom), Reece Thompson (Assassination of a High School President), Lee Pace (The Fall) & Uma Thurman. It's a comedy about two friends, one of whom falls for an older woman about to be married. Sam (Angarano) drags Marshall (Thompson) out to a beach town in hopes of breaking up the wedding, but they soon realize how out of place they are amongst the British groom and his guests. Three photos below.

Beautiful International Posters for 'Tron Legacy' & 'Let Me In'

A couple more impressive posters to feature today. Most probably already know I'm a big fan of both Tron Legacy and Let Me In. so obviously if there's an awesome poster for either movie, I'm going to mention it. IMPAwards just dug up two sleek bew posters for both, but since they're international (Tron is from Japan, Let Me In is from France) I decided to toss both of them together into one big post. I love the Let Me In one because they can promote it without having to worry about the MPAA and that includes putting a little blood on there. As for Tron, it's just a cool design (a lot better than this one) but it's not particularly my favorite.

Watch: Funny International Trailer for Todd Phillips' Due Date

Warner Brothers recently debuted this brand new international trailer on YouTube for Todd Phillips' Due Date, starring comedy champions Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis as well as Juliette Lewis, Michelle Monaghan, Jamie Foxx, Alan Arkin, RZA and others. It's not too different from the official trailer we featured back in July, but it is just as funny and it definitely has some great moments that you all need to see. I'm not easily sold on comedies, but this is definitely one I'm looking forward to seeing this fall, it looks hilarious. Yes, it's just like Plane, Trains & Automobiles, but there's nothing wrong with that! Watch below.

Fantastic Official Poster for Paul Haggis' The Next Three Days

Wow, I love this. I know it's not going to be everyone's cup o' tea, but I love the creativity and originality and what they're going for with this. As far as I know, we haven't ever seen a poster like this that presents details from the plot like it's a big puzzle to be solved (they should've done this for Zodiac, too!). MSN's The Hitlist recently debuted the official poster for Paul Haggis' The Next Three Days, that dramatic thriller starring Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde. We just saw a trailer for it a few weeks ago, and it looks good, but I want to watch it to see if it's really as good as they're selling. I'm hoping for the best!

Paula Patton Snags the Female Lead in New Mission Impossible

Since we learned that the next film won't simply be called Mission Impossible 4, we're just going to have to refer to it as the next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise when we tell you about Deadline's news that Paula Patton (Precious, Deja Vu) has nabbed the female lead role alongside Tom Cruise and Jeremy Renner. Just last week we had heard Patton was in the running with actresses like Lauren German and Kristen Kreuk, but the race is over. Patton plays a young operative who works with Ethan Hunt (Cruise) on the Impossible Mission Force. It's an interesting cast to start what will apparently be a franchise reboot.

Must Watch: Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns with Sean Penn

What's that? You've never heard of "Between Two Ferns" with Zach Galifianakis? Well, then you're missing out on some seriously hilarious stuff. Over at Funny or Die, an uninformed, idiotic version of Zach Galifianakis has been hosting a public access style talk show with some of the hottest names in Hollywood. Sitting quite literally between two ferns, the comedian asks whatever questions pop into his head complete with random stories, tangents and inappropriate comments. This edition has Sean Penn as his guest, but with Zach out of town, his effeminate Southern raised twin brother Seth is hosting and it's amazing to see.

John Woo Remaking 'Le Samourai' + His Own Film 'The Killer'

We just talked about John Woo's forthcoming first foray onto IMAX screens with Flying Tigers, but the action filmmakers is planning even further down the road with a couple of remakes in mind. Variety recently spoke with the director who revealed that he hopes to remake the 1967 French classic Le Samourai, not to mention remaking his own 1989 Hong Kong police action flick The Killer. In addition, Woo is apparently also developing a couple of new martial arts fueled films. One will be an homage to Hong Kong filmmakers Chang Cheh and King Hu, while the other is a samurai movie in the same vein as an Akira Kursowa movie.

Johansson & Gordon-Levitt in 'Breathers: A Zombie's Lament'?

We already know Diablo Cody is re-teaming with director Jason Reitman for Young Adult, but previously the quirky screenwriter (who also wrote Jennifer's Body) was said to be crafting another unique take on the horror genre with an adaptation of S.G. Browne's dark comedy Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. The film is a zombie-led romantic comedy following Andy, a dead man who discovers himself newly re-animated as a decaying zombie and must figure out what it means to live as an "un-dead" in a society that denies his kind basic rights. Pajiba reports  Scarlett Johansson and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are loosely attached to star.

Paranormal's Team Backing New Eco-Horror Project 'The Bay'

We didn't mention this when it first hit, but apparently director Barry Levinson (Rain Man, Toys, Sphere, Bandits, etc) is currently working on a new sci-fi thriller that was originally called Isopod. The new title (via Prod Weekly) is just The Bay and ScreenDaily (via STYD) wrote an updated sales report, adding some plot details into the mix and info about who's producing, too. Apparently the team behind Paranormal Activity, including director Oren Peli and producers Jason Blum and Steven Schneider, will be helping produce The Bay. We're not sure when shooting is supposed to start, but we do know it's an eco-horror set in Maryland.

New on Netflix Instant: Star Trek, Iron Man, Godfather & More

Hot on the heels of the application update allowing Netflix Instant to be used on the iPhone/iPod Touch, here's a big update to let you know about the plethora of titles that will hit the library next week. The huge chunk of cinema comes courtesy of Netflix's deal with the cable channel Epix who has provided plenty of classic and recent releases for Netflix subscribers to enjoy almost anywhere. Just so everyone's aware, all of the titles listed below won't be available for streaming until September 1st, but there's so many of them we just wanted to get them out there ahead of time so you're prepared. So what's in our queue this/next week?
