Disney has debuted the second full-length trailer on Apple for ImageMovers' new CGI animated sci-fi kids movie Mars Needs Moms!, based on Berkeley Breathed's acclaimed children's book. We've already seen one trailer for this back in November, and they tossed up a quick TV spot after the Super Bowl as well, but here's another new full-length trailer that really gets into the story and the adventure of it all. Voices include: Seth Green, Joan Cusack, Dan Fogler, Breckin Meyer, Billy Dee Williams and Tom Everett Scott. Also, did you catch The Incredibles poster up in Milo's room? Look again. Have fun!

Now the innovative filmmaker has revealed yet another project in his future. Allocine reports (via The Playlist) that while launching his exhibit The Factory Movie Lovers at the Centre Pompidou, Gondry revealed that he will next be adapting Philip K. Dick's sci-fi novel Ubik. In the tradition of Dick's tales, the story is engaging, futuristic and full of intrigue. Time Magazine even named the novel as one of the 100 greatest English-language novels of our time.

Weinstein, Back in His 'Groove', Wants to Cut Up 'Submarine', Too?

Submarine / Harvey Weinstein

There's a great new profile on the infamous Harvey Weinstein over on Vanity Fair's site (via The Playlist) called How Harvey Got His Groove Back that's definitely worth reading, just because it's an intriguing look at the man behind the curtain and how he got The King's Speech on its Oscar march. First things first, I do believe The Weinstein Company may be making a comeback and Harvey may be back "in a groove" again, but there's another issue at hand. In their article, Harvey talks about editing Richard Ayoade's Submarine, the charming indie flick we fell in love with in Toronto, just because it didn't play well with a test audience.

Check This Out: Another 'Sharp' Poster for Wes Craven's 'Scream 4'

Scream 4 Knife

We could make puns about this "cutting-edge" poster all day! They're getting to the "point" or they're really "slicing" through marketing. We could go on... but I won't! ShockTillYouDrop has debuted the third poster for Wes Craven's Scream 4, following the first one of just the Ghostface killer mask as well as the series throwback with the number 4. I'm surprised that with an ensemble cast as big as this (Arquette, Campbell, Cox, Panettiere), none of them even get billing or face time on the poster (give or take this one), but maybe it's for the better. The full trailer for Scream 4 is already out, so it's just down to waiting until April for this.

Casting Tidbits: Gerard Butler, Christopher Walken and Eddie Izzard

Butler / Walken / Izzard

Listen, not a year goes by, not a year, that I don't hear about some Casting Tidbits accident involving some bastard kid which could have easily been avoided had some parent - I don't care which one - but some parent conditioned him to fear and respect those Casting Tidbits. First up, back in October, nearly the entire cast of How to Train Your Dragon was confirmed to be returning for the sequel which will see release sometime in 2013. However, at the time, Gerard Butler wasn't named to be returning. Well Empire has confirmed the actor will indeed be reprising his role as Hiccup's beefy, bearded father Stoick the Vast.

Watch: Bloody Red Band Trailer for Kim Ji-woon's 'I Saw the Devil'

I Saw the Devil Red Band Trailer

This is how Koreans get revenge. Magnet has debuted a new red band trailer on IGN for The Good, the Bad, the Weird director Kim Ji-woon's latest film I Saw the Devil, a "heart-pumping, face-pummeling revenge flick from Korea" (as /Film's Adam Quigley calls it). The revenge thriller stars Lee Byung-hun, also from The Good, the Bad, the Weird, as a secret agent who tracks down the serial killer that murdered his fiancée. Everyone has been raving about it and the trailer will live up to expectations, it just looks incredible. Korean films aren't for everyone, but I'm excited. I love how pumped up this makes you by the end. Watch below.

Guy Ritchie Has Been Offered '300' Prequel 'Xerxes' for Next Movie

Xerxes / Guy Ritchie

Though we've already gotten a first look at Frank Miller's graphic novel, and Zack Snyder has talked about the plot, we still have heard very many details on Xerxes, the prequel to the stylized epic 300. Well today a big bit of news comes from Vulture as they've heard Warner Bros has offered the movie to Sherlock Holmes director Guy Ritchie. However, keep in mind that this is merely an offer, and Ritchie could just as easily pass on the project. However, this offer from the studio is interesting considering how successful Snyder's take on 300 ended up being. But it sounds like WB might be done drinking Snyder's cinematic Kool-Aid.

Jonah Hill has been attached to star in the project since he was revealed to be writing it back in 2008, and Channing Tatum signed on back in November. Now Deadline has word that the big screen adaptation of the TV series 21 Jump Street has also landed Ice Cube in a story of undercover police officers who infiltrate a high school to fight drugs and crime. Cube will actually be playing their precinct captain, a role originally played by Steven Williams in the series. Phil Lord and Chris Miller (directors of the fantastic Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) are directing this adaptation which Hill has said is going for a pretty hard R rating.
