Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Arriving in theaters this weekend is Safe House, a new action-thriller co-starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as CIA agents being chased around Cape Town, South Africa.

Spider-Man Viral Kicks Off with Peter Parker's Backpack Clue Pickup
Finally, the viral game we've been waiting for this year has kicked off! Earlier in the week, after the premiere of the new trailer for Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man, we mentioned a new viral website for the Mark of the Spider-Man that launched. Since then, a twitter has launched @markofspiderman and has been spouting GPS locations all day. Where do they lead? Local pick-ups in six cities of a backpack, Peter Parker's backpack to be specific, containing a sketchbook and more school items. Hidden in there was a clue which pointed to a page on the viral site which then unlocked a countdown on the main website. It's time.

Check These Out: Flashy Capitol Motion Posters for 'Hunger Games'
Smile Away! Something fun for all the Hungers Games fans out there. Some "viral" marketing has popped up (via ComingSoon) in the form of ads from the Capitol for The Hunger Games movie, featuring three characters. Each one is basically an ad for a colorful product in the Capitol. There's one for Cinna, played by Lenny Kravitz, Katniss' stylist; one for Seneca Crane, played by Wes Bently, the Head Gamemaker; and one for interviewer Caesar Flickerman, played by Stanley Tucci, who looks like he's been distorted so much just to hide it's even him. These are kind of fun and flashy, more from the universe of Hunger Games.

Universal's 'Dracula Year Zero' Returns from the Dead with Gary Shore
A couple of years ago we were following a project at Universal called Dracula Year Zero, which had Alex Proyas directing, Sam Worthington starring. It stay in development for a while, even preparing to shoot, but was shut down over budget. Proyas went on to other projects (like Paradise Lost), so did Worthington. But Deadline is now saying Dracula Year Zero is, indeed, back from the dead, but with a new team. Michael De Luca (Moneyball) will still develop as producer, he's got Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless (Missile Command, Flash Gordon) writing a new draft of the script, with Gary Shore (The Draft) now in negotiations to direct.

DreamWorks & Working Title Remaking Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rebecca'
Expect the unexpected - time for an Alfred Hitchcock remake. And oh so perfectly timed with the Oscars coming up, as Hitchcock's 1940 romantic mystery Rebecca is the only one of his films to actually win Best Picture, oddly enough. Variety reports that DreamWorks and Working Title Films, two big studios in town, are developing a feature remake of Rebecca that will feature a screenplay written by Oscar nominated writer Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things, Amazing Grace, Eastern Promises, Hummingbird), adapting from Daphne DuMaurier's original novel. Justin Lowe appropriately wonders: might this just be "crazy brilliant?"

Henry Cavill Investigating 'The Great Wall' Directed by Edward Zwick
What's up next for Superman after he saves the world? Variety is reporting that British actor Henry Cavill, who is finishing up work on Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, is looking to schedule his next role after Supes and it might be a project called The Great Wall being developed by Legendary East in China. The Great Wall, which is indeed a film about China's Great Wall, is being directed by Edward Zwick (Love and Other Drugs, Blood Diamond, The Last Samurai, Legends of the Fall) from a script he wrote with Marshall Herskovitz. Sounds like an interesting prospect for Cavill, and similar to Christian Bale starring in The Flowers of War.

Doug Trumbull Speaks Again on How Mind-Boggling His New Sci-Fi Is
The way this guy speaks about his upcoming projects sounds like he's bringing the second coming of cinema in the near future. We've been keeping tabs on visual effects maestro Douglas Trumbull, aka Doug, for a while as he's been back in the fray since doing the FX work on The Tree of Life. Trumbull was at the VES Awards ceremony this week and our friend Todd at the Hollywood Reporter interviewed him, and it's quite a tremendous piece. He speaks in depth about the state of the industry and FX world, and also goes in depth into his upcoming "120FPS 3D" sci-fi movie we've been hearing about. And it sounds mind-blowing already.

Watch: First SXSW Trailer for Midnight Film 'The Aggression Scale'
What is The Aggression Scale? Wow, I am very impressed, I really want to see this now! THR posted the first promo trailer for The Aggression Scale, directed by Steven C. Miller, which was just announced as a world premiere in the SXSW Film Festival's midnight category next month. The original description states: 4 hitmen + $500,000 of stolen cash + 1 family = WAR. It basically looks like a home invasion meets crazy teens, and more, horror but I love this trailer, I love the music, it looks great. The cast includes Fabianne Therese, Dana Ashbrook, Derek Mears, Jacob Reynolds and Ray Wise. Highly suggest watching!
