Indie Trailer Sunday: Gaspar Noé's 'Enter the Void' US Trailer
Are you ready to go on a two minute acid trip? I've been saving this trailer to feature today because Gaspar Noé is a madman, a crazy filmmaker with an even crazier style. If you've seen Irreversible then you already know, but this takes it to the extreme. Today's trailer is from IFC Films for the official US release of Gaspar Noé's Enter the Void, a drug-trip film about a brother and sister living in Japan. The brother is killed in a run in with the cops and the POV camera floats around the city following the aftermath, getting trippier by the minute. I didn't like the movie (I saw it in Cannes back in 2009) but this trailer is something to behold.

James Cameron's Advice to Del Toro: 'Get Out' from 'The Hobbit'
I'm trying not to put any spin on this, but I know this is already going to turn into one of those "who does he think he is?" kind of stories. In an interview with Australia's Herald Sun, Avatar director James Cameron talked mostly about his $2 billion box office smash but also touched on his upcoming Guillermo del Toro collaboration of their adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, talking briefly about his good friend and fellow filmmaker. Interestingly, they feature some quotes from Cameron where he says that he actually told del Toro to "get out" of The Hobbit and "do his [own] thing." Looks like he took his advice.

Quick Interview: Scott Pilgrim's Michael Cera & Anna Kendrick
In a crowded summer movie season several movies are putting their best foot forward to get your attention and have you part with your money. The last few months have seen many disappointments in what is one of the worst summers ever. But as the season winds down, one of this year's dark horses has finally emerged - Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Based on Brian Lee O'Malley's comics, Scott Pilgrim is a totally different kind of superhero movie, relying on wit and nostalgia instead of explosions and secret lairs. Our own Marco caught up with two of the stars of the movie - Michael Cera and Anna Kendrick - for a quick interview.

Quick Interview: Scott Pilgrim's Edgar Wright & Brandon Routh
The second set of interviews for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World from San Francisco writer Marco Cerritos are with director Edgar Wright and actor Brandon Routh. This is Wright's third feature after the cult hits Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Despite the shift in style this time, he was up for the challenge. Routh, on the other hand, is used to working with lots of CGI and big sets, after all he starred in Superman Returns and is used to the grueling work. But for Scott Pilgrim, Routh left his red cape at home and decided to take a supporting role, playing a telekinetic evil-ex that our titular hero must defeat in order to win his true love.

Karl Urban Confimed for a Hard R-Rated 'Judge Dredd' Movie
We first heard the solid rumor during Comic-Con that Karl Urban (Star Trek, Lord of the Rings) might be delivering justice as Judge Dredd, a law enforcement officer of the future given power to act as judge, jury and executioner, in a new take on the sci-fi comic book character. At the Con, outlets like Collider and Film School Rejects heard straight from Urban that he had been offered the role and they were working towards making it official. Well, now Empire has double confirmed his casting and got new details from producers Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich, who revealed that this will be a very gritty, hard R-rated adaptation.

First Look: Paul Feig & Kristen Wiig's New Comedy Bridesmaids
This is another romantic comedy, heavy chick flick territory, so watch out. Last year we reported on various casting for a comedy co-written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo called Bridesmaids that is about, as you may have guessed, two women battling to plan their friend's wedding. As cheesy as that plot sounds, it actually has a stellar cast including Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Jon Hamm, Dianne Wiest, Matthew Lucas, Chris O'Dowd, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy and Wendy McLendon-Covey. The Playlist got their hands on an early first look from the latest Entertainment Weekly which you can check out below.

Watch: Great Trailer for 'Drew: The Man Behind the Poster' Doc
Okay, this is awesome. I feel like I've been saying that a lot recently, but this time I really mean it. SlashFilm found an official trailer on StarWars.com for a documentary called Drew: The Man Behind the Poster about, as you've guessed, the legendary Drew Struzan, the iconic poster artist we all know and love. I'll be honest - I didn't even know this was being made. A documentary about Struzan? Awesome. I knew there was a book coming soon, but that is all I'd heard about. This looks great and features interviews with Guillermo del Toro, Steven Spielberg, Harrison Ford, and so many more great movie people. Watch the trailer below!

Watch: Paul Haggis' 'The Next Three Days' New Official Trailer
Lionsgate has debuted the first official trailer (via Yahoo) for Crash director Paul Haggis' newest drama The Next Three Days, or what some are calling Haggis' version of Law Abiding Citizen. The movie stars Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks as a married couple who go through hell when Banks is accused of murder. Liam Neeson and Olivia Wilde are in it, as well as the RZA and Brian Dennehy. I love these movies because we get to see Crowe slowly descend into madness and it will be crazy to see what he does. Plus, this becomes a prison escape movie halfway through, and that's awesome. I want to see this! What about you?

Gyllenhaal and Hathaway in the 'Love and Other Drugs' Trailer
To counter the new trailer for James L. Brooks' romantic comedy How Do You Know, 20th Century Fox has debuted their new trailer for Love and Other Drugs, the Edward Zwick-directed, drug industry romantic comedy starring Jake Gyllenhaal and the always lovely Anne Hathaway. I don't know though, this ain't no James L. Brooks, the comedy just looks a bit more cheesy, it almost feels like Hitch and Spread smashed together then mixed with Thank You For Smoking and She's Out of My League, or something like that. Hate to make comparisons, but this looks a lot more bland that I was expecting. What's happening to Ed Zwick?
