Complete Character Poster Series for Shane Acker's 9!

Earlier in the week we featured the first character poster from Shane Acker's animated movie 9. After some searching, and help from a publicist, we were able to find all 8 of the poster in the series. These posters count up from 1 all the way to 9 featuring a new character from the movie on each one. If you've seen the trailer than you know that it's about this group of ragdoll heroes and 9, voiced by Elijah Wood, is the final key to saving the world. This is a cool little poster campaign, a lot like Coraline's A to Z posters, and I wanted to make sure we featured all of them! Thanks to everyone who helped find everyone last one.

Director Michael Bay: By the Numbers Box Office Chart

By Alex Billington

If you haven't already heard, Michael Bay's Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is kicking some box office ass. It made a record breaking $60.6 million on Wednesday alone and has amassed a worldwide total of $170 million so far (and its only been out in theaters in the US for three days!). But that's not what this is necessarily about. MovieFill.com put together an awesome visual chart and box office graph called Michael Bay: By the Numbers this week. It's fairly self-explanatory - they compare Bay's budgets to the worldwide gross to the opening weekend for all seven of his past movies, not including Transformers 2. Check it out!

Scene From Bruno Cut Out Due to Michael Jackson's Death

By Alex Billington

We already brought you one hilarious new Bruno update today, so how about another not-so-hilarious update? Steven Zeitchik over on the Risky Biz Blog confirms that Universal is cutting out a scene from Bruno that references Michael Jackson. The studio re-cut the film just hours before its Los Angeles premiere last night. They're considering removing it from all of the prints before it opens nationwide on July 10th. I personally find it absolutely ridiculous to remove this scene, but I think Universal is making a smart decision in order to prevent a backlash from moviegoers. Who knows if they'll ever re-release it.

First Great Trailer for Ricky Gervais' The Invention of Lying

By Alex Billington

Formerly known as This Side of the Truth, the trailer for The Invention of Lying starring, written, and directed by British comedian Ricky Gervais has hit Yahoo today. Here's the concept: Imagine a world where everyone can only tell the truth. And no-one has ever lied. There are no big lies. There are no small lies. Not even white lies. Until one man discovered how to lie. It looks like a quirky, crazy, fun comedy, similar to Bruce Almighty, except this has Ricky Gervais instead of Jim Carrey. I'm not dying to see this, but it does look good. And if you want to see a slightly different trailer, a UK version hit earlier today as well.

DreamWorks Picks Up 'I Am Number Four' for Michael Bay

By Alex Billington

DreamWorks, not Paramount, is finishing a deal today to pre-emptively purchase the movie rights to I Am Number Four, an unpublished science fiction book, for Michael Bay to produce and possibly direct. Key word here is possibly. And this doesn't mean that he won't be directing Transformers 3 either, so don't get your hopes up. The book is the first in a planned six-volume series purportedly co-written by "A Million Little Pieces" author James Frey, although WME was shopping the book to studios under a pseudonym. Bay loved the concept and brought it to Stacey Snider and Steven Spielberg at DreamWorks who snatched it up.

Check This Out: Bruno Punks Conan on the Tonight Show

By Alex Billington

This is why I frickin' love Sacha Baron Cohen so damn much. Not only is he able to just come up with this character and fool countless Americans to begin with, but he's able to keep up the act all the way until its actual release. Bruno appeared on the new Tonight Show last night to talk with Conan O'Brien. Okay, so Bruno doesn't completely punk Conan, he's obviously in on the joke, but I think Conan didn't even see some of this coming. Or at least he didn't know Bruno would strip down and dance on his desk. I've actually seen Bruno already and it is definitely as crazy as this video. Actually, it's a lot crazier than this, unquestionably!

Columbia Pictures has announced (via THR) that Avi Arad, Charles Roven, Ari Arad and Alex Gartner will partner together to produce an adaptation of the PlayStation 3 game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune published by Sony.

The studio hired Kane & Lynch and the new Hitman screenwriter Kyle Ward to pen the adaptation but they haven't hired a director yet.

Must Watch: Awesome Blood-Sucking Daybreakers Trailer!

By Alex Billington

Lionsgate has finally debuted the first trailer for the new vampire flick Daybreakers that stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Sam Neill. I would love to go more into the story, but this trailer does a brilliant job of introducing exactly what it's about, so I just suggest you watch it (instead). Another vampire movie, you say? Don't worry, this is nothing like Twilight or True Blood or especially Park Chan-wook's Thirst. The first half of this trailer didn't really impress me much - it wasn't until Willem Dafoe showed up and we got to see some beautiful slow-mo shots that I started actually get genuinely excited for Daybreakers. Enjoy!

Official Blog Launched for Nick Frost and Simon Pegg's Paul

By Alex Billington

This definitely falls into the category of "check this out" so make sure you do just that! The official blog for the new comedy written and starring Nick Frost and Simon Pegg titled Paul has launched this week. The blog can be found at WhatisPaul.com and it includes video updates and more from Frost and Pegg and the rest of the cast. Paul is being directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad, Adventureland) and is about two British comic book sci-fi geeks who take a road trip across the US and accidentally pick up an alien named Paul. Yea, we're excited as hell for this and I can't wait to see all the shenanigans they capture on the set.

Focus Features Delays The Boat That Rocked Until November

By Alex Billington

I don't usually report on release date changes like this unless there is something more to the story. Variety reports today that Richard Curtis' new comedy The Boat That Rocked will be distributed by Focus Features (instead of Universal proper) and has been delayed until November from its original late August release. Interestingly, they add that they're "working with filmmaker Richard Curtis to create a leaner version for American auds after the film's mixed run overseas." This isn't the kind of movie I'll be starting fights over (like Inglourious Basterds) but I'm surprising to see Universal switching things up last minute.

King of Pop Michael Jackson Dead at 50 from Cardiac Arrest

By Brandon Lee Tenney

The King of Pop. MJ. Jacko. Michael Jackson. The 50-year-old entertainment icon died early Thursday afternoon at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he had been taken after suffering full cardiac arrest. Though reports were slow to reach media outlets (TMZ was the first to report the news), it's now known that Jackson was reportedly unconscious upon arriving at the hospital (via Reuters). Doctors were unable to revive him. And while his life has now ended, in the 50 years prior, Michael Jackson ascended from child star to megastar to king. Jackson is the epitome of the modern-day multi-media megastar.
