Official Trailer for Mark Ruffalo's Indie Flick 'Sympathy for Delicious'
Maya Entertainment has debuted a trailer on Fandango for Sympathy for Delicious, directorial debut of actor Mark Ruffalo about a paralyzed musician played by an actual paralyzed actor named Christopher Thornton. As uplifting as this trailer looks, I've heard nothing but terrible things about it, as it premiered at Sundance back in early 2010. In fact, our own Brandon Tenney saw it and said it pretty much "sucked." I always hate to talk about trailers like that, but it's better to know the truth than the version they're selling. This looks like it might have some great performances, but I can see how it looks like a mess. Watch below.

Watch: Official UK Trailer for Luc Besson's New Film 'Adèle Blanc-Sec'
"This is the story of Adèle Blanc-Sec and her quest for the power of life over death." Yep, French filmmaker Luc Besson has another action adventure film that he directed already finished and released, but it hasn't hit the US yet and I'm not sure it ever will. The Extraordinary Adventures of Adèle Blanc-Sec stars Louise Bourgoin as Adèle Blanc-Sec, basically a female Indiana Jones who gets into some adventures in the early part of the 20th century involving a pterodactyl, mummies and more. We've featured a few trailers for this before, but this is the latest official UK trailer thanks to LoveFilm (via HeyUGuys). Check it out below!

'SNL' Star Kenan Thompson Set to Appear in 'Party Starters' Comedy
As a child of the early 90's, it's been enjoyable to watch Kenan Thompson grow from a budding young comedy star on shows like "All That" and "Kenan & Kel" to an adult on "Saturday Night Live" one of the most iconic sketch comedy shows in history. Now the actor may be setting up a launch from "SNL" as executive producer Lorne Michaels has set Thompson to lead a comedy called Party Starters. The iconic comedy producer has been integral in launching the careers of people like Bill Murray, Chris Farley, Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and more. This film will be kept in the "SNL" family too as series writer Bryan Tucker is behind the script.

Watch: Another Amusing Red Band Trailer for 'Your Highness' Arrives
"We aim to kill the magical c**ksucker." Ohhh this looks like it's going to be good! There's only a few more weeks left until Your Highness hits theaters and I still can't wait to see it, just looks hilarious. MSN has debuted another new red band trailer for the medieval comedy starring Danny McBride, James Franco, Natalie Portman, Zooey Deschanel and Justin Theroux as the evil wizard Leezar. The first red band trailer for this was debuted late last year, so it's great to see another one before release, but it's a lot of the same jokes again. I just want to finally go out and see this damn movie! Anyone else excited for it? Enjoy!

'The Magician's Nephew' Will Be the Next 'Chronicles of Narnia' Film
For those thinking that The Silver Chair would be the next book in the Chronicles of Narnia series to be adapted to the big screen, you are apparently wrong. In speaking to The Christian Post (via ComingSoon), Walden Media co-founder and president Michael Flaherty said, "We are starting to talk to Fox and talk to the C.S. Lewis estate now about The Magician's Nephew being our next film. If we can all agree to move forward, then what we would do is find someone to write the script. So, it could still be a couple of years." So it doesn't sound like it's definitely going to happen, but there's at least a plan in works for a fourth film.

Both shared some screen time in the bromantic comedy I Love You, Man, but now "Saturday Night Live" star Andy Samberg and "Parks and Recreation" regular Rashida Jones will lead their own. 24 Frames reports the two will will play a couple that's getting divorced but want to remain friends (yeah, right) in Celeste and Jesse Forever, a film which Jones also wrote with actor turned writer Will McCormack. Last we heard about the project, director Seth Gordon (The King of Kong, Four Christmases) was going to be at the helm, but now The Vicious Kind director Lee Toland Kriger will be behind the camera instead.

On the heels of news about David Fincher directing a new feature about the Egyptian queen comes sad news that the star of the original 1963 film Cleopatra has passed away.

SXSW Video Interview: Actress Michelle Monaghan of 'Source Code'
I first took notice of actress Michelle Monaghan in Shane Black's 2005 hip detective film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. She plays the tough crush of the film's faux detective protagonist, played by Robert Downey Jr. Over the years, Monaghan has played tough characters who find themselves mixed up in mysteries that they don't quite understand. This is the case again in Source Code, where she plays a woman on a train that only has eight minutes before it explodes. I got the opportunity to sit down with Monaghan during SXSW and discuss working with Duncan Jones and Jake Gyllenhaal and the process of recreating the same scene over and over.

Disneyland to Run 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' Sneak Peek Live Shows
Anyone excited to see the new Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides after that last epic trailer? Well if you're in California, or planning any upcoming trips there, Disneyland in Anaheim will be hosting a sneak peek of the new movie - an extended 3D film sequence. "It'll be 'all hands on deck' as park guests take on the role of pirates and enter Festival Arena to 'set sail' for high adventure with Captain Jack and many of the new Pirate stars in the unique, immersive 3D film experience, featuring a scene from the new movie." Yea, I didn't write that. Looks like this might be a replacement for the ElecTRONica setup they had last fall.
