Zack Snyder's 'Sucker Punch' Gets a Final Badass Music Video/Trailer

By Alex Billington

Kick ass! One of the few movies I still can't wait to see this spring is Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch, which we've been anxiously waiting to see since visiting the set last year. Although we've seen multiple trailers, TV spots and countless posters for this female-led fantasy-action-extravaganza, Warner Bros has debuted one more official trailer via Yahoo. This one is actually much more like a music video or sizzle reel, basically a bunch of footage cut to music. It isn't anything we haven't seen before in the other trailers, but it is a kick ass reminder that this movie is coming up in a few weeks. I'll be there opening night! What about you guys?

By Ethan Anderton

That seems to be the driving force behind Sony Pictures picking up the Chris Ryall's comic book Zombies vs. Robots for a co-production with Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes production banner. Deadline says writer J.T. Petty used the comic as the basis for a spec script which he as titled Inherit the Earth. The story follows a young girl who is the last survivor on Earth, protected by a group of robots as a pack of zombies that are intelligent and evolved aim to kill her.

By Alex Billington

"Whoooaaa nerd alert!" Perhaps the new Napoleon Dynamite, or perhaps something else entirely, the first official trailer for the indie comedy blacktino (yes it's titled lowercase) from Texan filmmaker Aaron Burns recently debuted on Vimeo (via /Film). You may remember hearing about this before, as it was part of some odd viral campaign with Michelle Rodriguez at Fantastic Fest last year, but now we know what it is. Austin Marshall stars as an "overweight half-black, half-hispanic nerd" named Stefan who's struggling to fit in at his high school. This looks like it has a lot of charm and whit, I'm very much looking forward to it. Enjoy!

Watch: Franco & Roberts in MEAN's Video for 'Go Outside' by Cults

By Alex Billington

The masterminds behind MEAN Supervideo, who brought us that rad Anna Kendrick-LCD Soundsystem collab last year, are back again with another custom music video. This one is for Cults' song "Go Outside" and stars Emma Roberts and Dave Franco. Not the older Franco? No, the same brother we saw in that Franco Family Christmas Greeting. Guess he can act, too! Here is the pitch: In the video, a man (Franco) obsessed with classic French films lives out his greatest cinematic fantasy when he embarks on a night of passion and thrills with the actress (Roberts) of his dreams. Yea, but not that far. Check it out below!

But lately rumors have been circling that another director is looking to take over the project, and while we've held off on reporting them until something official came up, the time is now for a substantial update. Updating on his Twitter account (via TFS), director D.J. Caruso (Eagle Eye, I Am Number Four) confirmed that he just closed his deal to direct the comic book adaptation.

Rutger Hauer Cast as Van Helsing in Dario Argento's 'Dracula 3D'

By Alex Billington

We're catching up on some stories since it's fairly slow this week. First up, both Twitch and ComingSoon.it are reporting that badass Dutch actor Rutger Hauer is going to play Van Helsing, the legendary vampire hunter, in Italian director Dario Argento's Dracula 3D. The project was first announced last summer as a "faithful translation of the Bram Stoker novel" the Italian horror master would shoot in 3D. I don't know about everyone else, but my interest in this just quadrupled knowing Hauer's going to be huntin' vamps in an Argento flick. He kicked ass as the Hobo With a Shotgun and I'm sure he'll be great to see in this, too.
