'The Sopranos' & 'Killing Them Softly' Star James Gandolfini Has Died
Thanks to HBO, it's hard to think about mobsters without thinking of Tony Soprano. It's been six years since the Emmy-winning series"The Sopranos" ended its six season run on the cable network with a much talked about cut to black. Sadly, now the film's leading man has also faded away as THR reports James Gandolfini has passed away at age 51. Gandolfini was overseas to attend the 59th Taormina Film Festival in Sicily, Italy and waiting to participate in a special event with Italian director Gabriele Muccino, and reports say the actor died suddenly after a massive heart attack. This is truly a shocking and terrible loss.

Watch: Michael Cera Wants to Get High in 'Crystal Fairy' Indie Trailer
After kicking off the 2013 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, Sebastian Silva's indie road trip comedy Crystal Fairy and the Magical Cactus is coming to theaters this summer. The film follows Michael Cera as Jamie, an American living in Chile who is keen on heading into the desert for a Mescaline-fueled psychedelic trip with his local friends. But the journey isn't quite what he seems after he accidentally invites Crystal Fairy (Gaby Hoffman) on the trip. Her free and esoteric nature clashes with Jamie’s acidic, self-absorbed personality, and it makes for some comedy and awkwardness. The performances from Cera and Hoffman are great, but the film as a whole didn't quite work for me. Watch?
Owen Wilson & Woody Harrelson Turkey Time Travel in 'Free Birds'
Every single year, the President of the United States pardons a single turkey from being eaten for Thanksgiving. But what happens to that turkey afterwards? Apparently he lives the life of luxury. Owen Wilson voices a pardoned turkey who has his cushy life interrupted when he's recruited by another high strung, eccentric turkey (Woody Harrelson) to go back in time and stop their kind from being on the menu at the very first Thanksgiving. Amy Poehler also lends her voice to the animated time travel adventure Free Birds from the director of Horton Hears a Who!, and it looks like some good holiday fun.
Watch: Channing Tatum & Jamie Foxx 'Channing All Over Your Tatum'
If that headline sounds dirty, that's the idea. In what seems like a strange bit of pseudo-marketing for White House Down, co-stars Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum have reunited for a spectacular music video for their parody song (I Wanna) Channing All Over Your Tatum. If you don't know what we're talking about, the two actors performed this song on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" following the Oscars earlier this year. Now they have guests like Tatum's Magic Mike co-star Olivia Munn, Precious lead Gabourey Sidibe, Miley Cyrus, and regular Kimmel target Matt Damon bringing the song to life. Watch it now!
TV Writer Greg Berlanti Gets 'Epsilon' Sci-Fi from 'Zombieland' Writers
Though the work of Greg Berlanti has mostly been isolated to executive producing and writing TV series like "No Ordinary Family," "Everwood," "Brothers & Sisters" and the comic book adaptation "Arrow," he also had a hand in the script for Green Lantern. While that might not necessarily inspire a lot of confidence, Berlanti is sticking in the realm of science fiction for his sophomore directing effort. The project is called Epsilon, and the Sony Pictures production is quite the departure from Berlanti's feature film directorial debut, the subpar romantic comedy Life as We Know It with Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel.

Michael Cera Directs & Stars in 'Failure' Short Film with Aubrey Plaza
In this day and age, there are a lot of online outlets delivering great video content in the realm of entertainment. One such group is JASH, a comedy collective featuring original content by partners Michael Cera, Tim & Eric, Sarah Silverman, Reggie Watts and producer Daniel Kellison (of Jimmy Kimmel and David Letterman) with additional contributions from their many friends. This time Cera is behind the camera for a short film called Failure, and he also stars in the story of a young man unnerved by a very peculiar and stalker-esque girl played by Aubrey Plaza (it's her eyes that really sell the fear). Watch below!

Shailene Woodley Says Mary Jane is Not in 'Amazing Spider-Man 2'
With Sony Pictures just announcing release dates for The Amazing Spider-Man 3 and The Amazing Spider-Man 4 in 2016 and 2018 respectively, the idea of a trilogy for this superhero franchise reboot went out the window. And it sounds like those plans might have shaken up what actually happens in the forthcoming sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Though Shailene Woodley has been cast as Mary Jane Watson, and set photos showed her on set filming scenes in New York City, the actress has revealed that her scenes will end up being cut, and the staple comic love interest will not appear until the next film.

'Dumb & Dumber To' Revived at Universal and Red Granite Pictures
Just over a week ago, Warner Brothers and New Line Cinema decided not to move forward with Dumb & Dumber To, the sequel to the 1994 comedy starring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels. Despite having directors Bobby & Peter Farrelly ready to go with the two leading men reprising their roles, the studio only saw a "limited upside" if they made the film, despite the fact that the comedy would only cost about $30 million to make. Well, that studio's loss is now hopefully a gain for Universal Pictures and Red Granite Pictures who have just picked up the sequel which could go into production early this fall for a 2014 release.

Though we're not sure when Justice League will get off the ground, next year, audiences will be able to see an assembly of Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and 1980s-something space guy on the big screen next year. That's right, they're all in The LEGO Movie, the newest animated venture from Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller.

Chris Pratt and Morgan Freeman stick out as voice talent along with Will Arnett as a great Batman. This looks awesome! Watch!

Watch: Robert Rodriguez's Fan-Completed Action Short 'Two Scoops'
Back in March, director Robert Rodriguez announced a cool short film project called Two Scoops starring Electra Avellan and Elise Avellan, the sultry twin actresses from Machete and Grindhouse, as "ice cream scoopers by day, danger seekers by night." What made this project truly cool was Rodriguez asked fans to shoot footage of themselves with a chance to collaborate with Rodriguez and finish the film. At the time, there was plenty in the teaser for the film that needed to be finished, including the creation of the monster. Now the film is finished, and you can see what Rodriguez and his fans came up with below. Watch!

'Galaxy Quest' and 'RED 2' Director Might Get Magical with 'Houdini'
The Hunger Games director Gary Ross and Hanna director Joe Wright have flirted with Houdini, a film based on the popular book The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America's First Superhero, but neither came through to finalize a deal. Now Deadline reports a new director has stepped up to the plate with Galaxy Quest and RED 2 director Dean Parisot now in talks to take over the project which Summit Entertainment has been developing for years. Rather that simply focusing on Harry Houdini, the legendary master illusionist, and his career as a magician, the film dives into the secret life of the renaissance man.

Poster for 'Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues' is Kind of a Big Deal
Tomorrow a brand new trailer for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues will arrive, and this one should actually have footage from the movie as opposed to the hilarious teasers featuring Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Paul Rudd and David Koechner talking to the audience. But in the meantime, Paramount Pictures has decided to keep the hype going with the first teaser poster for the film. The film doesn't even need the entire face of Ferrell to sell the film. Hell, it doesn't even need the film's title. All we get is Ron Burgundy's signature mustache, and the familiar quote turned tagline "It's kind of a big deal." We can't wait!
Universal Plots 'Jurassic Park 4' for 2015 Release + Shooting in 3D
Sad news for fans eagerly awaiting another sequel in the Jurassic Park franchise arrived at the beginning of the summer when Universal Pictures announced: "In coordination with filmmakers, [we've] decided to release Jurassic Park 4 at a later date giving the studio and filmmakers adequate time to bring audiences the best possible version of the fourth installment in Universal's beloved franchise." We were left wondering just when the film might arrive, and now we have a window for release. ComingSoon is attending the 2013 Licensing Expo in Las Vegas where they spotted a big Jurassic Park banner touting "2015" for the release.
