Check Out Disney's Honey-Covered 'Winnie the Pooh' Teaser Poster
This is such a great poster! Now I want "hunny", too. Disney has unveiled the first official teaser poster via Yahoo for Winnie the Pooh, the charming hand-drawn animated flick hitting theaters this summer. The more we see for this movie, the better it looks. This poster is such a fantastically charming follow-up to that adorable international poster from a few months ago. We've also already seen the first official trailer, which looked great, so no more convincing is necessary, I'm pretty much sold. I love how simple yet appealing this poster is, both with a spirit of adventure, as well as the classic Winnie the Pooh charm. Check it out below!

Peter Stormare Also Joins the 'Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters' Cast
The cast already includes Jeremy Renner & Gemma Arterton as the titular characters in Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, but now one of my favorite character actors working today has joined. Deadline reports Peter Stormare (Minority Report, Constantine) will join the cast of Tommy Wirkola's dark, twisted take on the classic fairytale. Stormare will play a villainous town sheriff named Berringer in a story that sees the two siblings as full-time killers whose primary targets are witches like the one who terrorized them at such a young age. Though it's not clear how big his part will be, Stormare is a welcome addition to any film.

Watch: They're Back - First Teaser Trailer for 'The Hangover Part II'!
The Wolfpack is Back! But it's only a teaser. Warner Bros has debuted an official teaser trailer on Apple for The Hangover Part II, the highly anticipated sequel to 09's breakout comedy hit The Hangover. All the main guys are back, including Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms. The rest of the cast (some returning) includes Justin Bartha, Jamie Chung, Juliette Lewis, Ken Jeong and Liam Neeson. This is only a teaser and it's a true teaser, so it's not showing much besides the single scene and a few old quotes to hype everyone up, but I'm sure people will be buzzing about this already. Check out the teaser trailer below!

Check This Out: Five Vintage Propaganda Posters for 'Sucker Punch'
We've already seen a two kick-ass trailers, an awesome TV spot and recently, a pseudo music video for Zack Snyder's action-packed genre mash-up Sucker Punch. In addition there's been a pretty sweet collection of character posters, a huge banner, and a sexy theatrical poster. Now the marketing machine has transported us back to the setting of the film for some 50's inspired vintage propaganda posters featuring the badass babes of Sucker Punch. Though they look like they've been scanned in and they're not quite as awesome as those retro Kick-Ass posters from last year, they're still pretty damn cool. Check out all the posters below.

Must Watch: First Trailer for Chris Weitz's New Drama 'A Better Life'
Following Twilight: New Moon and The Golden Compass, director Chris Weitz decided to take a step back and direct a low-budget drama for his next film, originally titled The Gardener but now known as A Better Life. LA Times' blog 24 Frames debuted the first official trailer for Weitz's new film, starring Mexican actor Demián Bichir (Castro in Che) as Carlos Galindo, an illegal immigrant father just trying to take care of his family. When Carlos' truck is stolen, the father is powerless to turn to law enforcement, but the crisis brings him closer to his potentially wayward son. I must say, this looks fantastic, I'm considerably impressed. Wow.

Animation Picture Company Opening Up a 'Zombie Pet Shop' in 3D
Though an epic battle between the undead and robots is brewing with the recent acquisition of Zombies vs. Robots by Sony and Platinum Dunes, a slightly sweeter kind of project will also use zombies. Variety reports The Animation Picture Company has just picked up Zombie Pet Shop, an original script from E.L. Katz that will be turned into a 3D animated feature film. In what seems like it could have a pleasant mix of horror and comedy similar to Gremlins, the story follows ious plague that sweeps through a mall pet shop, turning all of the animals into zombies. How much is that brain hungry doggy in the window, Mommy?

Four More Weird Posters for Almodóvar's 'The Skin That I Inhabit'
La Piel que Habito. Almodóvar has gone horror? We featured a very peculiar poster for Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar's new movie The Skin That I Inhabit, aka La Piel que Habito translated from Spanish, starring Antonio Banderas as a plastic surgeon. No more than a week later, 3Xtras (via The Playlist) has revealed another set of posters for the film and they're even weird - like designs for a new Saw film. I'm not even sure what half this stuff is? We've got a face and some needles, but why a DNA double-helix? I guess I'll admit these definitely make me curious, but I'm not sure they actually sold me on it yet. See all four below.

Watch: Brand New, Hilarious Official Trailer for Greg Mottola's 'Paul'
Alien. Joker. Celebrity. Slacker. Fugitive. Yeah... it's Paul. Universal has just debuted a brand new official trailer over on IGN for Greg Mottola's Paul, the sci-fi comedy starring British duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as, well, two British geeks who meet an alien named Paul, voiced (and acted) by Seth Rogen. We've already seen a teaser trailer and international trailer, both of which looked hilarious, and this new footage looks awesome as well. We get a better look at the story and all of the crazy characters and I still can't wait to see this. It seems like the perfect movie to see stoned buzzed with a bunch of friends. Check it out below!

This Week's Unnecessary Remake: 'The Bodyguard' at Warner Bros
The last time I laid down the law on an unnecessary remake it was Paramount's decision to remake the 1991 ensemble comedy Soapdish (which also just gained the writer Ben Schwartz). Now this time the unnecessary remake machine has been started up at Warner Bros. with Deadline saying the studio will redo the 1992 hit film The Bodyguard. The original film followed Kevin Costner as a Secret Service agent who is drafted to protect a singing diva (Whitney Houston) whose life is threatened by a dangerous stalker. But the bodyguard wasn't counting on falling in love with the diva and distracting him from sufficiently doing his job. Read on.
