Watch Warwick Davis Read Two Stories From His New Book!

I've been a big fan of actor Warwick Davis almost longer than anyone. Not only did he charm everyone as Wicket in Return of the Jedi, but it was whil ewatching Willow that I knew I'd love this guy forever. Davis is still an actor today (he's in the Harry Potter movies as Flitwick and Griphook), he manages his own talent agency for little people, and he also just published his autobiography called Size Matters Not (which is sadly only available in the UK at this moment). Earlier this week I was sent two new video clips of Warwick reading Star Wars and Harry Potter-related stories from his book and they're both completely awesome!

Watch This: Davis Guggenheim's Waiting for Superman Trailer

By Alex Billington

Paramount has debuted the first trailer for Davis Guggenheim's documentary Waiting for Superman, which was the first big film to be acquired at Sundance this year (by Paramount) before the fest even began. Guggenheim's doc explores our "crappy" public education system in the US and how it is failing to educate our children. On criticWIRE, this received an average rating of B+ at Sundance, which is quite impressive and proof that this is one of the best docs of the year. It looks like a powerful and striking documentary that I hope will bring about some changes. If you're interested, then check out this fantastic new trailer below.

Most of you may not remember hearing about a film called Machine Gun Preacher in December, but it's back in the news again. Deadline reports that Lionsgate has decided to develop and distribute the film and given them a greenlight to start shooting this summer.

Quantum of Solace director Marc Forster is directing this and he has also cast Michelle Monaghan as Childers' wife and Michael Shannon (The Runaways) as a friend who cared for her while Sam was gone.

Sound Off: Jon Favreau's Iron Man 2 - What Did You Think?

By Alex Billington

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? It only took two years for Marvel Studios and director Jon Favreau to return with a sequel to the smash hit Iron Man, but it's here and it's time to talk Iron Man 2. How did it live up to the first movie? Was better or on par or much worse? How was Robert Downey Jr. as the always entertaining Tony Stark once again? Was Don Cheadle a worthy replacement as Rhodey and also a badass War Machine? What did you think of Mickey Rourke's villain? How was the storyline leading into The Avengers? If you've seen it, leave a comment below and let us know what you thought of Iron Man 2!

Super 8 Viral Launch: New 'Scariest Thing I Ever Saw' Website

By Alex Billington

As expected, following the in-theater premiere of Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams' Super 8 trailer is the launch of a new viral game to follow until the release of the movie next summer. Not only does it look like they're making things very complicated (and hard to find), but they're already setting the tone by launching a website with a URL that spells out Scariest Thing I Ever Saw. Creepy. If you can back in Independence Day, there was that scene where Jeff Goldblum figures out that there is a countdown signal coming from the aliens, and it gets crazy when he asks "what happens when it runs out?" Well, we've got the same question.

RZA's 'Man With The Iron Fist' Kung Fu Film Gets Picked Up!

By Alex Billington

If you're a long-time reader, you'll know that a project I've been following is Wu-Tang Clan member RZA's kung fu project that he wrote with Eli Roth called The Man With The Iron Fist (although Deadline refers to it as Fists with the extra "s"). The good news is that Universal is making a deal to finance and distribute RZA's project, which means it'll finally start shooting later this year. The bad news is that it's Universal, who will probably mess with the film and screw up the marketing. Oh well. RZA will also play the title character, a blacksmith who forges weapons for the inhabitants of a village in feudal China, and will also direct this.

Must Watch: Full Theatrical Trailer for Chris Nolan's Inception

By Alex Billington

Warner Bros debuted the full-length theatrical trailer (and probably last one we'll see) for Chris Nolan's Inception last night in front of Iron Man 2. Although I'd seen footage at WonderCon and ShoWest, this is something even I had seen, and it's beautiful. There aren't many words to describe how incredibly epic and amazing this looks, but beautiful and stunning and mesmerizing are a few that fit best. While we wait until December for Tron Legacy, Inception has become my most anticipated movie this summer. This just looks so phenomenal. I'm not afraid of calling Nolan the closest director to Kubrick and Hitchcock we have today.

Men in Black 3 Hits Theaters May 2012, Will Smith Confirmed

By Ethan Anderton

Just last month we heard that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones would be returning for Men in Black 3, but it was still unclear as to how soon the sequel might get off the ground with Smith pondering a couple choices for his next project. Now it looks like a choice has been made as Deadline reports that MiB3 is go for launch with Smith signed on for the sequel to be directed, once again, by Barry Sonnenfeld and currently set for a May 25th, 2012 release. In addition, final deals are being negotiated for Jones and Josh Brolin with an official press release from Sony hitting this afternoon as well with some more tidbits on the story.

Splice Director Vincenzo Natali is Attached to 'Neuromancer'

By Ethan Anderton

It's been almost three years to the day since it was announced that Willam Gibson's bestselling sci-fi novel published in 1984, Neuromancer, was getting the big screen treatment. At the time, director Joseph Kahn was attached to helm the flick, but since the only thing we've heard about the project was a rumor involving Hayden Christensen joining the project more than two years ago, it seemed the adaptation was dead in the water. However, in some news about Canadian based productions, THR mentioned that Vincenzo Natali, who made waves at Sundance with his film Splice (being released this summer) will now be directing this.

The Beatles Are Zombies With Option of Book 'Paul is Undead'

By Ethan Anderton

Following in the footsteps of big adaptations of books like Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Deadline reports that zombies have infiltrated the world of iconic musicians as Double Feature partners Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher have optioned the forthcoming Alan Goldsher novel Paul is Undead, with a story that re-imagines the history of The Beatles where the four legendary musicians become zombies. Though it sounds very interesting on paper, the concept does seem a little less marketable than the aforementioned vampire and zombie-infused re-imaginings of history and literature.

First Look: Chloe Moretz as 'Abby' in Matt Reeves' Let Me In

By Alex Billington

Here we go. The very first photo of the talented Chloe Moretz as vampire "Abby" in Matt Reeves' remake of Let the Right One In titled Let Me In has arrived and it's honestly not too impressive. Ohnotheydidnt is right in calling this shot "pretty underwhelming," it just seems like such a posed photo. I hope we eventually see a trailer that's a lot better than this, or Let Me In is going to tank because all the fans of the original will boycott it. Anyway, I'm trying to be as optimistic as I can with this film, especially after everything that Matt Reeves has said about it and even Chloe Moretz's passion for it as well. Check out the first look photo below.
