Lars von Trier Banned from Cannes Film Festival for Nazi Statements

By Alex Billington

Oh boy, this is very big news. After the premiere of his latest film Melancholia at the Cannes Film Festival just yesterday (read my review), controversial Danish director Lars von Trier settled in to a room full of international press for a press conference. He's always been known to give wild answers and say crazy things, but von Trier made a statement this time that went a little too far. Answering a question, he said that he found out he was a Nazi and sympathized with Hitler. At first, Cannes retaliated by issuing an official apology on behalf of von Trier. But pressure has caused them to officially ban him, effective immediately.

Exclusive: Spectacular New Japanese Poster for J.J. Abrams' 'Super 8'

By Alex Billington

It's Close Encounters of the J.J. Kind. We are very excited to debut the official Japanese poster for J.J. Abrams' upcoming sci-fi movie Super 8 tonight, as you'll see below. Paramount has asked us to unveil this spectacular new poster to the world and I'm more than happy to do so, as this is the movie I am most excited to see this summer! The imagery, which has never been seen before, has a very Close Encounters of the Third Kind vibe to it, which makes sense considering the film is an homage to Spielberg's sci-fi classics of the 1970s, but I know Abrams' has crafted his own exciting, original story for the movie.

Jay Baruchel Stars in Campy Canadian Thriller 'Good Neighbors' Trailer

By Alex Billington

"Should I be concerned for my safety?" Magnolia has debuted a trailer on Apple (embed via B-D) for the dramatic chiller/thriller Good Neighbors, set in Montreal, Canada about a "serial killer on the loose." The story focuses on neighbors in an apartment, played by Canadians Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire and Brit Scott Speedman, who don't know who's the killer or if they're being stalked or what. This wouldn't look that bad if it wasn't for the extremely cheesy voiceover and that terrible song at the end. Can anyone predict who the killer is just from watching this? I doubt I'll see it, but I still thought it was worth featuring.

By Ethan Anderton

Collider was around to catch director Todd Phillips speak vaguely about the potential of another sequel, and while some might be rolling their eyes, Phillips seems to be taking the stance of the Christopher Nolan of comedy, if you will, by saying that another sequel would be the end of the franchise. Phillips says, "Obviously we always envisioned it as a trilogy. The third would be very much a finale and an ending.
