Clive Barker Responds to Pascal Laugier's Hellraiser Reboot
Yep, that headline is right. When Pinhead graces the big screen again with the help of French filmmaker Pascal Laugier, it will be in the form of a reboot to the original Hellraiser and not a remake, per se. At least that's what ShockTillYouDrop tells us came out of a recent interview FilmsActu had with the Martyrs director. Personally, I'm becoming blind to the dividing lines between remakes, reboots, re-imaginings, and so on. But on the subject of the Cenobites' return, Bloody Disgusting caught up with Clive Barker, also, and discussed the new project, specifically about it being in Laugier's demented little hands.

Official Trailer for John Crowley's Is Anybody There?
I'm going to make a confession - I love magicians and all things magic. It all began when I was a kid and was obsessed with performing magic, but even today, I still love seeing it. I also love Michael Caine, so seeing him and magic come together in The Prestige a few years ago was like a dream come true. Now along comes Is Anybody There?, a very British indie film starring Michael Caine as an aging magician. That's enough to sell me, but for those who need a bit more, Caine's character Clarence is old and losing his mind, but when he moves into an old person's home and meets a young boy, the two learn to face life together.

Two New Photos of Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia
Thanks to the Huffington Post, we've got two new photos of Jake Gyllenhaal shirtless in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I was very hesitant to post these in the first place, but in the end I thought, why not? Some girls will get a kick out of them, some guys will get jealous and go to the gym, and the rest of us will just wonder when we're going to see a trailer or poster or anything at all. No one really knows whether these are official or not, whether they are stills from the movie or on-the-set casual photos, or whether they're even that exciting to begin with, but oh well, I'll put them up anyway for whoever wants to see them.

Check This Out: Mysterious Order of Chaos Poster
Have you ever heard of a movie called Order of Chaos? I haven't either. However, that is all about to change. Thanks to the always awesome IMPAwards, we've got a first look at a poster for Order of Chaos. Seen on it is an odd and completely fascinating collection of items, ranging from an iPhone to a pistol to some pills to a pair of glasses to a wad of money. Even more odd is that the IMDb page for Order of Chaos lists no plot synopsis. So what exactly is this movie about? It's as if we're already part of a big mystery and now it's up to us to solve this puzzle on the poster. How's that for a fun little marketing gimmick?

Kevin's Review: Watchmen - Who Watches the Watchmen?
There's a poignant phrase that shows up often in Watchmen, simply, "Who watches the Watchmen?" The question has a clear purpose in the story, which is to call attention to the authority enjoyed by the 6-person superhero team. But the same query is surely on the minds of studio execs now that the heralded comic book series has finally made it to the big screen. Who will flock to the theater to watch a two-and-a-half hour journey into an altered '80s reality? And does Watchmen truly deliver? While the film's quality has incited debate, the short answer to this question is that, truly, everyone should watch the Watchmen.

Updates on Spielberg and Jackson's Adventures of Tintin
A typical film shoot can last upwards of 4 to 6 months, if it's a big budget production, but this week Steven Spielberg will wrap up a short 32 days of shooting on The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn. The reason it was so short is because it's all being done with motion capture, which means they can get a lot more shooting done a lot quicker because they don't have to change the position of the camera and reset certain shots to capture different angles. From here, Spielberg will hand the project over to producer Peter Jackson, who will work on the special effects and CGI at Weta for the next 18 months.

Worth Watching - Mar 7: Blood: The Last Vampire Trailer
There's a trend of turning anime into live-action that's currently brewing in Hollywood (e.g. Akira, Ghost in the Shell). One of the first to arrive is Blood: The Last Vampire, an adaptation of anime from 2000 about a vampire who hunts demons with some samurai swords. I know what everyone's initial reaction to this is right now - but save it, you need to watch this trailer first. If you're not more impressed than you were before watching it, then you're more than welcome to say whatever you want, but I'm certain most of you might actually think this looks pretty good. That is, only if you like sword fighting and demon hunting!

They ranged from sci-fi to action to horror to comedy to even a few indies, showing us just a brief glimpse of what this summer movie season will be like. Did the Nine Inch Nails song in the Terminator Salvation trailer win you over, or was it Johnny Depp's suave in Public Enemies, or was it J.J. Abrams' music in Star Trek that got you, or did the comedy in Pixar's Up have you laughing? We want to know which of these trailers this week were your favorites? What are you now most excited for this summer?

Final Watchmen Video Journal: Societal Parallels
Although I know that Watchmen is out in theaters today, it would be wrong of me not to finish this series that began a year ago. It's that time of the month and that means we've got the very last Watchmen video journal to share with all of you. MSN presents the very last behind-the-scenes video journal chronicling the development of the film. Today's video journal focuses on the various parallels between the graphic novel and our own society today, and even how, as described by Time magazine book critic Lev Grossman, it reads with the exact same devastating effect today as it did back when it was first published in 1986.

Sound Off: Zack Snyder's Watchmen - What Did You Think?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? In 1986, Alan Moore wrote one of the greatest graphic novels of all-time, known as Watchmen. In 2009, Zack Snyder brought his vision of that story to the big screen the only way that it could rightfully be told. But is it any good? Is it as extraordinary of a movie as the graphic novel is itself? Was being completely faithful necessarily the best decision? Were any major changes Zack Snyder made problematic to the end result (e.g. the squid)? To put it simply, did Zack Snyder pull it off, or did he fail? Sound off below, leave your thoughts, and let us know what you thought of Watchmen!
