Watch This: New Red Band 'Director's Cut' Repo Men Trailer
Last night I saw an awesome TV spot for Repo Men that only contained quick cuts of these guys collecting things and no music. You can watch that here and I was planning on posting it until this "Director's Cut" trailer popped up on the official website. Universal just debuted this new red band trailer for Repo Men that was cut by the director. Usually studios hire their own marketing teams to make trailers, but some directors cut their own because they feel they better represent the movie. I don't think this trailer was as good as that TV spot I mentioned, but damn does this look good. Can't wait to see this! Check out the new trailer below.

Casting Tidits: Anna Faris, Liv Tyler, Ryan Gosling and More
They call me Mister Casting Tidbits! First up, Variety reports Anna Faris (Observe & Report) and Chris Evans (The Losers) are set to star in What's Your Number?, a new comedy from director Mark Mylod ("Entourage") which focuses on a woman who decides to re-visit her ex-boyfriends in the hopes of finding the man of her dreams with the help of her womanizing next door neighbor. What a terrible idea both in real-life practice and in cinematic narrative. Script is based on Karyn Bosnak's (who wrote her own draft) book 20 Times a Lady and has had some rewrites from Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan. Read on!

Sacha Baron Cohen or Jemaine Clement for Men in Black 3?
After years of speculation and rumors, we finally got solid news on Men in Black 3 when Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen was officially brought on to write the third installment back in October, followed shortly by the less certain word that Josh Brolin was being strongly considered for a lead. Now comes a fairly juicy rumor from Bloody Disgusting who says that Sony is also very interested in adding Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat, BrĂ¼no) or Jemaine Clement (Gentlemen Broncos, "Flight of the Conchords") into the mix as a character named Yaz. It could a new agent, but I can't see either of these two playing anything but an alien.

Liam Hemsworth Cast in Chuck Russell's 3-D Arabian Nights
Set to follow in the footsteps of his brother Chris Hemworth (who's playing the God of Thunder in Marvel's Thor), actor Liam Hemsworth, who can next be seen swooning Miley Cyrus in The Last Song, is making a jump from sappy Nicholas Sparks adaptations to some serious action adventure as Heat Vision reports that he's in negotiations to star in Arabian Nights, an epic new 3-D remake from director Chuck Russell (The Scoprion King). The story focuses on a young commander (Hemsworth) who, after his king is murdered in a coup, joins forces with Sinbad, Ali Baba and the Genie from the magic lamp to rescue queen Scheherazade.

Another Tron Viral Site Discovered - Decipher for the Trailer?
This looks very confusing. Another new viral site for Tron Legacy has popped up online as discovered via a user on the Unfiction forums. The Flynn Lives webpage, which seems to be the home for all things Tron viral, was just updated with a new post talking about the 25-city scavenger hunt event that took place a few weeks ago. Included in the post was a video recap of the event (with footage of me as Los Angeles #1) and a message at the end that says basically: "The search has just begun... The next clue might be just around the corner." Using that clue in the message, you can find a series of codes that flash in the upper right corner.

Official Poster Finally Arrives for Sylvain White's The Losers
Although we just featured awesome new posters for Iron Man 2, those aren't the only new posters to arrive today. Warner Bros has finally debuted (only 46 days before it release) the final official poster for Sylvain White's The Losers based on the Vertigo comic series. I was actually hoping they'd do exactly this - put in the real-life actors into the original cover that they've used for The Losers since it was a comic. I really dig this poster and it's perfect for this movie, giving us a sense of the tone and style and a good look at all of the actors in this. I also added the Comic-Con poster and the original graphic novel cover below for reference.

Check These Out: Two New Character Posters for Iron Man 2
Last night, the second insanely awesome trailer for Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2 hit the web in glorious high definition and fans went crazy over how fantastic it looks. To spice things up more, Paramount has debuted two new character posters - one for Iron Man and one for War Machine - and a standee (seen above) for Iron Man 2 over on Apple. That standee is one of those giant cardboard cutouts you'll see on display at your local movie theater sometime in the next few weeks. The other two posters look pretty awesome as well, but they feel a little too much like cardboard backing on toy figures I'd buy at Walmart. Check them out below!

Jonah Hill Replacing Demetri Martin in the Moneyball Movie
More troubles on this baseball film? There always seems to be some problem with the casting or the studio or something. The last time we wrote about Sony's Moneyball adaptation, which Steven Soderbergh was originally supposed to direct, was last year when it was revealed that Capote director Bennett Miller would be taking over for Soderbergh. Since then we haven't heard much else, but a little update over on an ESPN blog (via The Playlist) gives us some insight into the latest with Moneyball. According to author Michael Lewis, Brad Pitt is still attached as Billy Beane, but Demetri Martin has been replaced by Jonah Hill.

Lenny Kravitz Cast in Lee Daniels' Selma, De Niro Confirmed
Although Precious director Lee Daniels didn't take home an Oscar last night, his film still ended up with two Oscars and Daniels still went home with quite a few awards overall, including Best Director at Indie Spirit Awards last week. We already know Daniels' is following up Precious with the civil rights movement film Selma, written by Paul Webb. The Playlist followed the red carpet coverage closely last night and not only learned that Lenny Kravitz (seen above with Daniels) will appear in Selma, but also confirmed that Robert De Niro and Hugh Jackman (both previously announced) are officially on-board for this as well.

Sopranos Creator Set to Direct 60s Rock 'n Roll Feature Film
This sounds like it could be interesting. Sopranos creator David Chase (seen above) has a new film project he's working on following the conclusion of The Sopranos a few years ago. Deadline is reporting that Chase is currently developing an untitled drama that is a "music-driven coming-of-age saga for Paramount about a bunch of guys who form a rock band in the 1960s." Sounds like it will be fictional, so don't expect a biopic about any real 60's rock band. Chase has set a late summer/early fall start date and also wrote the script for it. This is his top priority and it's definitely next for him, not a Sopranos revival or anything related to that.
