Here Are Two More Explosive TV Spots from Marvel's 'Thor' to Watch
"I will end this." The more I see from this, the better it looks, I can't wait to kick off the summer with Thor. To remind everyone that there are only four weeks left until Marvel's Thor hits theaters and kicks off the comic book movie-filled summer movie season, Paramount has unleashed a bunch of TV spots. There's a lot to to choose from, but I selected the two newest TV spots (from Marvel) that actually make this movie look really, really good. If you want to see even more TV spots, head to TheMovieBox. I just think it looks like it'll be epic and entertaining, from what I'm seeing I think Branagh and Chris Hemsworth have pulled it off.

Sound Off: David Gordon Green's 'Your Highness' - Your Thoughts?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Get your quest on. Arriving in theaters this weekend is Your Highness, another comedy creation of Danny McBride & Ben Best, directed by David Gordon Green. Starring Danny McBride and James Franco, it's basically a contemporary homage to the adventure movies from the 80's with some bits of humor thrown in. How is it? Is it actually funny at all? Do Zooey Deschanel and/or Natalie Portman bring anything else into the mix? Is it an entertaining stoner comedy at the least? If you've seen it, leave a comment below and let us know what you thought of Your Highness!

Must Watch: First Beautiful Trailer for Lars von Trier's 'Melancholia'
"Life is only on Earth... and not for long." Another mesmerizing new trailer to watch. Out of nowhere, Zentropa has debuted the official trailer (website / Vimeo) for Danish director Lars von Trier's new film Melancholia. This is sort of a sci-fi drama about another planet that's going to collide with the Earth, but it's really about a wedding and the people there. Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Kiefer Sutherland star with Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård and Udo Kier. This is beautiful, but as always with von Trier, very very weird, but that's why it's so intriguing. Enjoy!

Review: Joe Wright's 'Hanna' is a Solid Shot of Weighty Adrenaline
Kids who kick butt in movie theaters aren't exactly in short order these days. Yes, I saw what I did there, too. After the flash and fantasy of films like Kick-Ass and Sucker Punch, movie goers might be looking for something a bit more grounded in their youths who kick, punch, and fire ample amounts of artillery. Grounded yet still high octane might be a better way to look at it. Enter Joe Wright (IMDb), the man who brought us Pride & Prejudice, Atonement, and The Soloist - not exactly Michael Bay when it comes to high energy action set pieces. That's a good thing, though, as Hanna delivers all the action and excitement you

Watch: Kat Dennings in Official Trailer for Indie 'Daydream Nation'
"I'm not here to save you, I'm the main character of my life." Anchor Bay has released the official trailer via Hulu for indie flick Daydream Nation from filmmaker Michael Goldbach. This drama stars Kat Dennings in a coming-of-age tale that apparently involves some weird people in her high school, including Reece Thompson who isn't enough indie films as is. You know, as much as I (used to) love Kat Dennings, I'm starting to get a little wary of her. Or maybe this trailer is just forgettable. It looks so typical, like it hits every indie coming-of-age cliche and more. Check out the official trailer below if you wish to watch anyway.

Ben Affleck Also Cast in Baz Luhrmann's 'Great Gatsby' Adaptation
A couple of weeks ago, Warner Bros mentioned that Baz Luhrmann's 3D adaptation of The Great Gatsby with Leo DiCaprio was officially in the works, coming soon. Now Deadline reports that Ben Affleck is "in talks" to play the role of Tom Buchanan, joining a cast that also includes Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby, Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway and Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan. Affleck has been flirting with multiple projects to direct next, following The Town, but it looks like he'll be acting once again before he directs his next movie. Luhrmann is directing in 3D, adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1923 seminal classic.

Juan Carlos Fresnadillo Now Attached to Direct 'The Crow' Remake
Now that Norrington is out, it's time to name a replacement. Relativity has officially announced today that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, Spanish director behind Intacto and 28 Weeks Later, is now attached to direct the "re-invention" of The Crow, the 1994 smash hit film based on the comic book series and comic strip by James O'Barr. Relativity and Pressman will be teaming with Spain-based Apaches Entertainment on the production which is targeted to start in Fall 2011. Fresnadillo will collaboratively develop the script once a writer is attached. Fresnadillo is also attached to direct BioShock, but Universal has since put that on hold.

Watch: First Official Trailer for WB's Inspirational 'Dolphin Tale' 3D
"No dolphin has ever been known to lose its entire tail and survive." That's the story behind Dolphin Tale (in 3D), an inspirational new movie starring Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick Jr., and Ashley Judd. Warner Bros has debuted the first trailer on Yahoo and boy is it a doozy of an inspirational piece. Definitely going for a heart-pounding Free Willy for a new generation feeling. I'm sure it's a great movie, but Morgan Freeman looks like he's just Lucius Fox taking a vacation to the beach. I hope it's just a bit better than it looks. If you love inspirational movies about saving animals, Dolphin Tale needs to be on your must see list.

David O. Russell Could End Up Directing a Buddy Cianci Biopic Next?
In the wake of his success on The Fighter, director David O. Russell has found himself mentioned in the same breath as several developing projects, but a couple projects sound more likely than others. Now a new project fits somewhere in the middle as Vulture says the filmmaker has been talking with Tribeca Film Festival co-founder and producer Jane Rosenthal (Meet the Parents) about directing a biopic on Buddy Cianci, the former mayor of Providence, Rhode Island who has the honor of being one of the longest-serving "big city" mayors in US history. Of course, he's also know for his racketeering crimes while in office.

Fox Searchlight Launches Mesmerizing 'Tree of Life' Experience Site
There are two ways through life. Whoa. Fox Searchlight has launched a website in promotion of Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life - it's called Two Ways Through Life and is described as an "experience" and it definitely is. Starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn and Jessica Chastain, and written and directed by Terrence Malick, this impressionistic story follows the life journey of a young boy (watch the trailer). This is one of those websites to just stop and stare at while watching some of the odd/beautiful clips filled within. Just visit: twowaysthroughlife.com and choose a path. The background score also very... interesting. Enjoy!

Arnold Schwarzenegger Confirmed for Jee-Woon Kim's 'Last Stand'
Just earlier this week we heard about a rather ridiculous sounding prospect in the form of The Governator, a potential big screen adaptation of the new animated series that sees Arnold Schwarzenegger as a silly superhero in Los Angeles after stepping down as California's governor. It just seemed like a late April Fool's joke and had me worried about the action icon's return. However, another project for the actor has just surfaced as a Polish film distributor (via MovieWeb) has revealed that Schwarzenegger is supposed to star in Last Stand, the next film from director Jee-woon Kim, the man behind The Good, the Bad, the Weird.
