Wild New Photo from 'The Hangover Part II' Has a Monkey in It!
Back in November Warner Bros released the first photo from the highly anticipated sequel The Hangover Part II, but it wasn't much to see. It just showed the four guys walking down an airplane terminal heading to where all the madness was going to occur this time - Bangkok, Thailand. Well, now we have a glimpse of some of that madness, and oh yes does it look frickin' wild. The photo comes out of the pages of the newest Entertainment Weekly but was scanned by The Playlist. In it we see Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms, looking beat up already, staring awkwardly at a monkey. Ohhh yes this is going to be good.

'Airplane!' Flying Back into AMC Theatres for Exclusive Screenings
Surely you can't be serious? I am serious. And don't call me Shirley. Though we lost both Peter Graves and Leslie Nielsen last year, their legendary talents live on through various roles in film and television. Now the actors will get a chance to bring some laughter back into theaters again as AMC Theatres has announced exclusive screenings of the classic spoof comedy Airplane! that's returning to theaters for two days only. Apparently the success of their 25th anniversary screening of Back to the Future inspired AMC Theatres to bring back more classics to theaters, but with only two showings, you'd better buy tickets now! Info below!

Well the younger Franco, while talking to MTV recently, revealed that he's working on a script for a film in which the entire Franco family would star. It will be the most genuine family comedy ever.

Adam Sandler & Andy Samberg Teaming Up for 'I Hate You Dad'
Though one of the funnymen has already left behind the late night sketch comedy series "Saturday Night Live" while the other is responsible for reinvigorating the series through hilarious Digital Shorts like Lazy Sunday and most recently I Just Had Sex, the two will soon be working together. THR reports that Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg are in talks with Columbia Pictures to lead the comedy I Hate You, Dad, the story of a father who moves in on the eve of his son's wedding and begins feuding with the bride-to-be.

Viral Fun: Sundance-Focused 'Cedar Rapids' Insurance Calendar
Be Prepared. Be Very Prepared! I received a calendar from some insurance company in the mail today and I was about to throw it out until I took a closer look. Turns out it's actually a fun little Sundance '11 viral for Fox Searchlight's upcoming indie comedy Cedar Rapids, starring Ed Helms as an insurance sales from a small town in Iowa who visits his first "big city" on a business trip - watch the official trailer. The calendar also came with a business card and is obviously for/from Ed "Timbo" Helms' insurance company BrownStar Insurance. It has all kinds of Sundance references, a website, and a phone number, too. More photos below!

Watch a Q&A with 'The King's Speech' Cast & Crew Recorded Live
In an effort to continue building interest and more awards buzz, The Weinstein Company is hosting a live online Q&A with the cast and director of The King's Speech, my favorite film of 2010 that really needs all the love and support it can get because it's a very hard sell. The actual Q&A is taking place at a screening at the Wadsworth Theater in Los Angeles, where afterward actors Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, Guy Pearce, Claire Bloom and director Tom Hooper will gather to answer questions from both the live and cyber audiences. It looks like this will be broadcast all over the web, but we put a Ustream embed below.
First Look: Good Shot of Chris Evans in 'Captain America' Outfit
It's just that day, when everything finally gets revealed. In addition to Spidey, another comic book superhero getting a first look today is Captain America, played by Chris Evans in Joe Johnston's upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger from Marvel. The image first appeared on ComicBookMovie (via SlashFilm) scanned from a magazine, but it's actually a good shot of Cap in his uniform, complete with cute white wings stuck on above the ears. I actually really like the look of this, it looks like a realistic, gritty suit that could've been made during WWII. Despite hitting theaters July 22nd, the trailer is still a long ways off. Check it out!

Jeffrey Dean Morgan Starring in Ghost House Thriller 'Dibbuk Box'
Late last year, right around the time when Paranormal Activity 2 was destroying the box office, we wrote about a new project in the works called Dibbuk Box. I thought it might be another found-footage thriller, but it looks like Danish filmmaker Ole Bornedal is going to direct a straight horror, as described, closer to The Exorcist or The Shining. Well, Variety reports that Jeffrey Dean Morgan has been cast in the film as a recently divorced father whose youngest daughter becomes strangely connected to an antique wooden box she purchased at a yard sale. Yep, she got a hold of that Dibbuk Box, and the spirit inside ain't too happy.

First Real Look: Andrew Garfield in Costume as New Spider-Man!
It's here! After much arguing, debating, and waiting, we finally have our very first official look at Andrew Garfield in costume as Spider-Man in the new reboot of the superhero franchise being directed by 500 Days of Summer's Marc Webb. The photo was officially unveiled by Sony Pictures and Columbia Pictures today (via Deadline), meaning this starts their massive two-year marketing process, as the new Spider-Man won't arrive in theaters until July 3rd, 2012. But with that said, it's an exciting and intriguing first reveal, and one that I'm sure a lot of you guys might actually like. But what is he wearing?! View the photo below!

Brand New Sexy Theatrical Poster for Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch'
Earlier this week a huge new banner for Zack Snyder's genre mash-up feature Sucker Punch debuted, and it was quite a majestic piece of promo art. Now we have an official theatrical poster for the promising action flick that pits Baby Doll (Emily Browning) Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish), Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and Amber (Jamie Chung) against robots, zombies, dragons, samurai and so much more. While the poster may not be as cool as the previous banner, it's still a great one sheet. Once again, I'm left anxious for March 25th to arrive so Sucker Punch will finally be showing in (IMAX) theaters everywhere.

Five More Photos of Rooney Mara in 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'
Yesterday we got our first look at Rooney Mara as the tough Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's take on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,
the first installment of the popular Millennium Trilogy. Though there were only a couple pictures, and she didn't seem to be in full costume, we got a pretty good idea of Mara's transformation into the role. Now we have even more pictures that show the young actress in full wardrobe with more tattoos, piercings and a full-on mohawk. These are considerably more impressive than yesterday's unveiling, and may change the minds of some naysayers who weren't pleased. Check out the new pics below!
