Wolfgang Petersen Set to Helm Adaptation of 'Old Man's War' Novel

Though he hasn't directed a film since 2006's Poseidon (a film disastrous in both plot and execution), director Wolfgang Petersen has still been linked to projects like Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots as recently as last summer. Now the filmmaker has another one in his future as Deadline reports Paramount Pictures has bought the screen rights to John Scalzi's sci-fi novel Old Man's War, the first in a four book series. All of the books were included in the deal with Petersen attached to direct from a script by David Self (Road to Perdition). Though unlike most big sci-fi projects, this one features a 75-year old man who enlists in the Colonial Defense Force.

First Look: Terrence Malick's Next Film Starring Affleck & McAdams

By Ethan Anderton

Last December we got a look at the first beautiful trailer for the anticipated film Tree of Life from Terrence Malick, and while the film doesn't hit theaters until May 27th, apparently the reclusive filmmaker already has his next project in the can. While reports have said the film may or may not be called The Burial, that's about the only solid details that have been revealed about his next project. Well, that and the cast includes Ben Affleck & Rachel McAdams, who are featured in the first still from the film revealed today by THR. The cinematic shot features the two leads sharing a romantic moment near a wheatfield. It's quite beautiful.

Watch: Second Full Official Trailer for Duncan Jones' 'Source Code'

By Alex Billington

"What is my mission?" To watch this trailer. Summit has debuted a second, shorter trailer for Moon director Duncan Jones' new film Source Code, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Monaghan, Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright. The first trailer launched back in November and showed quite a bit of the movie, this new one comes from Moviefone and still explains quite a bit, but in a more concise package, only 60 seconds long. I still think this looks like it might be a great movie with some fascinating sci-fi time-travel elements, and a crazy story involving Gyllenhaal running through trains and time. Watch and tell us what you think?

The story follows a young man who fails to kill himself, and then finds himself haunted by four ghosts.

Watch: First Filthy Red Band Trailer for Jake Kasdan's 'Bad Teacher'

By Alex Billington

Columbia has debuted a very R-rated red band trailer via MySpace for their summer comedy Bad Teacher, about the ~~hot~~ "foul-mouthed, junior high teacher" who gets into some raunchy relationship mayhem at her high school. It stars the likes of Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, Jason Segel, Lucy Punch, Phyllis Smith and John Michael Higgins. Yea this has some foul language, but it's fun, it's actually a well-cut trailer. The problem is, I still hate Cameron Diaz, and she just looks like she's trying to play someone fifteen years younger and not at all who she is, which annoys the heck out of me. Anyway, watch it below, and have fun.

Check These Out: Two Different 'Arthur' Posters For Your Approval

By Alex Billington

Meet the world's only lovable billionaire. If there's one thing I've learned looking at these two posters - it's that Russell Brand really likes sitting with his legs up in chairs. For a while I was wondering when they'd start promoting Brand's Arthur remake, since it hits theaters in early April, but now that we have a trailer out, the marketing has begun. Two official posters were recently released, the first one a few weeks ago (via IMPAwards) and another one yesterday over on JoBlo. Since there's not much else to talk about this week, I submit for your opinion and approval the two official posters for Arthur. Watch out for that bold red font!

Steve Carell Producing and Starring in Adaptation of 'Dogs of Babel'

By Ethan Anderton

Last week we learned that Meryl Streep would get some marriage counseling from Steve Carell as "The Office" actor signed to star in Great Hope Springs. Now the actor is continuing his film scheduling frenzy to follow his last season on NBC's comedy series by taking on yet another project. THR reports Carell will star in and produce an adaptation of Dogs of Babel, the Carolyn Parkhurst novel of the same name. David Heyman (producer of the Harry Potter franchise) is also behind the story of a linguistics professor (Carell) who discovers his wife dead in the backyard. Though the police rule the woman's death an accident, the professor is not convinced.
