Two New Official Posters Unveiled for Matt Reeves' Let Me In
Innocence Dies. Abby Doesn't. Okay, I hate to be overly critical of this poster, but I'm not really digging that tagline. That said, I can tell you that the movie kicks ass and does live up to the original. Overture Films has debuted two final posters from the viral website for Matt Reeves' Let Me In, starring Chloe Moretz as Abby and Kodi Smit-McPhee. I like the designs and their subtle use of blood-tinged imagery, but nothing will ever top this French poster for Let the Right One In. Buzz is definitely building up for this, and it's very positive buzz, so I hope a lot of you go into this as optimistic as possible. And check out these two new posters below!

Casting Tidbits: Keanu Reeves, Malin Akerman & Joel McHale
You better pray to the god of skinny punks that this wind doesn't pick up 'cause I'll come over there and jam an oar up your ass! First up, Deadline reports Voltage Pictures is following their Best Picture winning movie The Hurt Locker with a project called Generation Um. Mark Mann will write and direct the story starring Keanu Reeves as a man with two beautiful female companions as they spend a day immersing themselves in sex, drugs and indecision. Bojana Novakovic (Edge of Darkness) and Adelaide Clemens (Mad Max: Fury Road) take the two female roles as Voltage hopes the film picks up steam for awards season next year.

Guggenheim's Updates on Green Lantern Sequels & The Flash
It goes without saying that I enjoyed the hell out of my first Comic-Con back in July, but I can't help feeling disappointment that DC Comics didn't deliver what was previously hinted during WonderCon. At that con, DC Comic's Chief Creative Officer and DC Entertainment consultant Geoff Johns declined to talk about the potential of a Justice League movie in favor of revealing more in San Diego. All we got there was some cool but brief Green Lantern footage. But Marc Guggenheim recently told Newsarama (via The Playlist) that a treatment is done for The Flash though development isn't moving as swiftly as the hero himself. Read on!

Official Trailer for Tokyopop's 'Priest' Movie with Paul Bettany
This rather badass trailer for Scott Stewart's Priest, based on the Tokyopop comic, first debuted at/during Comic-Con, and we featured a post on it back then, but it has since been pulled. However, Screen Gems has now debuted a "second" official trailer for Priest, which you can check out below. It still looks as good as it did at Comic-Con, which is surprising because I thought Stewart's Legion looked like crap last year, but this looks like they really took the visuals and action to the next level. I'm not sure if it'll be a hit next summer, but you never know. I'll be hoping for the best, I want this to be awesome! Check out the new trailer below.

Watch: Third Theatrical Trailer for DreamWorks' 'Megamind'
DreamWorks Animation has just debuted the third full-length theatrical trailer (via Apple) for their big fall release Megamind, featuring the voices of Will Ferrell (as Megamind), Brad Pitt (as Metro Man), Tina Fey and Jonah Hill. We've already seen plenty of trailers for this already (this is the third and final one) and I'm not sure if I'm into it yet. At least they're finally no longer shying away from the fact that the plot involves Metro Man being killed off in the beginning and Megamind being the only villain let with nothing to do. Is anyone really that excited to see this? DreamWorks has had solid films recently, but this doesn't look good.

Fox Searchlight Acquires Terrence Malick's Latest 'Tree of Life'
After taking his sweet time to finish the film, it looks like the long-awaited Terrence Malick directed flick The Tree of Life has been picked up by Fox Searchlight for release in 2011. Malick wrote the film which tells the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. More specifically, the film chronicles the journey of the eldest son, Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn), through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). He is a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the meaning of life and questioning an existence of faith.

Alamo Drafthouse Starts Distribution Label - Drafthouse Films
Some big news this morning. The world famous Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, Texas announced that they're starting a distribution label called Drafthouse Films and will be releasing the British "terrorist comedy" Four Lions (that showed at Sundance earlier this year). "I've been a huge fan of Chris Morris' comedic television and radio for years. To launch our new distribution label with what I consider to be a modern classic is a dream come true," said Drafthouse founder Tim League. This is exciting news for anyone in the film world, as the Drafthouse is a strong brand and it's great to see Tim testing the waters in distribution.

Interview: 'Never Let Me Go' Director Mark Romanek - Part 1
One of my favorite films from Telluride was Mark Romanek's Never Let Me Go, adapted by Alex Garland from Kazuo Ishiguro's bestselling novel. The film stars Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield & Keira Knightley, and is a emotional drama about a love story between these three set in a slightly dystopian England (without giving away too much). I loved the film, giving it a 9 out of 10 in my review, and I was very excited to speak with Romanek. Both Peter Sciretta and I interviewed Mark Romanek together and we ended up speaking with him for 45 minutes, so we decided to cut the full interview into two parts - the first of which is below.

Watch: Santa Claus is Pissed in Official 'Rare Exports' Trailer
Forget everything you know about Santa Claus... It's all lies. Are you ready for an early Christmas present? You've probably heard about this (or knew we'd one day see it) but there is a film coming out this year that is a horror movie about Santa Claus. He's apparently a deranged killer who doesn't like when you're naughty, or something like that. Twitch has debuted a trailer for Rare Exports, a Finnish horror fantasy with Peeter Jakobi as Santa Claus, written and directed by Jalmari Helander. It actually looks surprisingly quite good, at least it has strong visuals, and I can't wait to see Santa go crazy on these people. It's in English, check it out!

Renner & Rapace to Lead 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters'?
Two of the most buzzed about acting talents in the industry right now may be coming together for quite an interesting project. Though this certainly isn't anywhere near official, a Norwegian press outlet (via Twitch) sat down for an interview with actor Jeremy Renner at the Venice Film Festival where he revealed that he and Noomi Rapace (of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) are up for leading Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters. Though details are sparse (and we don't speak Norwegian) it appears that the two are only in the running to follow the breadcrumbs in director Tommy Wirkola's very unique take on the classic fairy tale.

Official Website for Tron Legacy's Daft Punk Score Launched
There's really no need to introduce this, but it's worth checking it out anyway, so here you go. Our friends at Tron Sector recently found a new website located at tronsoundtrack.com (that we've confirmed was created by Disney) for the Tron Legacy soundtrack by Daft Punk. Everyone already knows I'm crazy excited for Tron Legacy, especially Daft Punk's score, which has been teased many times at viral events and on various websites. There's not much on the site yet, but it has a viral feel (though it's not connected) and Tron Sector says more "will soon be appearing." Also, view the source code on the site and you will see something cool.

Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender Reuniting for 'Shame'
I have openly admitted before that I didn't care for the art-house film Hunger, written & directed by British filmmaker Steve McQueen (not the classic actor, seen above left), but it was praised by many as one of the very best film of 2008 and I do admire what McQueen achieved (visually) in his feature debut. We've heard bits and pieces about his follow-up film, but now Variety has confirmed that McQueen will be reuniting with Michael Fassbender (who starred in Hunger) for a project that starts shooting in January titled Shame. Fassbender will play Brandon, a 30-something man living in New York who is unable to manage his sex life.
