Universal Moves 'Ted' into June 29th Slot Vacated by 'G.I. Joe' Sequel

Yesterday the blockbuster world was shaken as Paramount Pictures announced it was moving back this summer's release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation to March 29th, 2013. The reason was apparently for a 3D post-conversion, but Dwayne Johnson recently indicated new scenes designed specifically for 3D, and that means Paramount just isn't happy with the film. But the studio's loss is Universal's gain as they have decided (via ComingSoon) to move Seth MacFarlane's comedy Ted into the June 29th slot vacated by the Hasbro branded sequel. And their competition for the male demographic that weekend won't be stiff at all.

Dwayne Johnson Says 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Will Have New 3D Scenes

By Ethan Anderton

For good reason, plenty of people are quite baffled by the last minute decision by Paramount Pictures to push back G.I. Joe: Retaliation from its June 29th release date this summer to a March 29th release in 2013. The reason given was for a 3D conversion so that the film could do better at the box office. Honestly, if that was the case, they would've shot the film in 3D from the beginning. Instead, this seems like an excuse to give a lackluster blockbuster a less competitive release window and make money back with 3D inflation. And evidence of that comes from a brief statement on Twitter from Dwayne Johnson about the 3D news.

'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Red Band Trailer is Bloody Fun

By Ethan Anderton

"However history remembers me before I was president, I shall always think of myself as a hunter." Well, as someone who hasn't been as impressed by the trailers as some viewers, I have to say that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter now has my full attention. A new red band trailer has just cropped up online and it's great bloody fun with some ridiculous action. I think the tone is still a little too serious for such over-the-top action, so I'm not sure how that's going to work on the big screen, but I'm at least somewhat excited about this adaptation from Timur Bekmambetov now. Well done, 20th Century Fox. Watch it!

Watch: Two 'The Dark Knight Rises' TV Spots with Some New Footage

By Ethan Anderton

"I need you to get me back in the game." With just under two months to go until The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July, it's time for the onslaught of TV marketing for the anticipated conclusion to The Dark Knight legend to being. That final trailer packed quite a punch, and those new posters are relatively cool, but now we have the first two TV spots for Christopher Nolan's exciting trilogy end with almost entirely new footage. Of course, since they're TV spots, they're only 30-seconds long, but that's enough to get fans excited. There's great new stuff with Bane, Catwoman, Alfred, Lucius and, of course, Batman. Watch below!

Gary Oldman Lands Scientist Role in MGM's Remake of 'RoboCop'

By Ethan Anderton

It's hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years that Gary Oldman had been acting on the big screen before he received a long overdue Oscar nomination for his turn in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. Thankfully, he was given that honor last year, and hopefully there's more to come before his career ends, but until the next Academy Award worthy role comes along, Oldman will still have fun with some supporting roles in genre films. He's already set to play the villain in Motor City, and now Heat Vision says Oldman has landed a pivotal supporting role in MGM's remake of RoboCop starring Joel Kinnaman as the robotic police officer.

Check Out Mondo's Stunning Poster for Brad Bird's 'The Iron Giant'

By Ethan Anderton

Before director Brad Bird got involved with the Pixar family on The Incredibles and Ratatouille, and then turned his success into a burgeoning career in live-action films with Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol last year, he was at the helm of a charming animated film called The Iron Giant. Some people have disregarded the film, but if you've taken the time to give it a chance, you'll find a beautiful story of a boy and a giant robot from space that has the same charms of E.T. and just as much heart. Now Laurent Duriex has created a new poster for the film from Mondo as part of a special screening of the film coming up soon.

'Chronicle' Director to Adapt 'Shadow of the Colossus' Video Game

By Ethan Anderton

We already know that Chronicle director Josh Trank is unlikely to come back to direct the gestating sequel to the surprise found footage super powered film, but that doesn't mean he's not busy. In addition to developing a Fantastic Four reboot, a Spider-Man spin-off following Venom, and an adaptation of Red Star, it looks like Trank is heading into the video game world as well. Deadline has word that Trank has signed on to direct an adaptation of the video game Shadow of the Colossus for Sony Pictures. And for those who have played the game, this is an epic story that could very well make one hell of a fantasy action movie.

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Pushed Back to March 2013 for 3D Conversion

By Ethan Anderton

Bad news for G.I. Joe fans out there. In a move out of left field, and one almost as tyrannical as killing off the G.I. Joe's themselves, Deadline reports Paramount Pictures is pushing back this summer's release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which has already made a big marketing push with several trailers and a bunch of posters, not to mention toys already on the shelves. Instead of hitting June 29th this year, the studio is moving back the film nine months to March 29th, 2013 to convert it to 3D. An exec said, "We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally." That's bologna.

Tom Felton and Ashley Greene in the First Trailer for 'The Apparition'

By Ethan Anderton

After making a decidedly annoying turn in Rise of the Planet of the Apes, British actor Tom Felton keeps on trying to shed his image as Draco Malfoy from the Harry Potter franchise, and judging by this first trailer for Warner Bros. new horror thriller The Apparition, he's not doing a bad job, at least on the surface. Ashley Greene (The Twilight Saga) and Sebastian Stan (Captain America: The First Avenger) also star in the film with all the cliches of a ghostly horror thriller. Green walks around in her underwear, there's big jumps, creepy imagery, and some kind of viral, spiritual kind of terror. Looks pretty generic to me. Watch?

'ALF' Creator Paul Fusco Hopes Sitcom Puppet Gets a Feature Film

By Ethan Anderton

For children of the late 80's and early 90's, a TV staple was that of ALF, a sitcom that featured a puppet alien, voiced and created by Paul Fusco, who crash landed in the garage of a suburban family. While trying to repair his spaceship, the Tanner family hides the alien in their house where he becomes a strange but eventually important component of their everyday life. Now with the revival of plenty of other TV properties from the past like The A-Team and Dark Shadows, Fusco thinks the time is now to bring ALF back in the form of a big screen feature film, and he's actually preparing to pitch it to studios as we speak. More below!

James Bobin to Direct Zach Galifianakis in 'Confederacy of Dunces'?

By Ethan Anderton

Confederacy of Dunces / Zach Galifianakis

Hot on the heels of his nostalgic return of The Muppets, director James Bobin is already working on a sequel. However, it sounds like he might be putting his talents to use getting a long gestating adaptation off the ground after decades of various attempts. Vulture has word that Bobin is currently negotiating to direct an adaptation of John Kennedy Toole's Pulitzer Prize winning novel A Confederacy of Dunces. A script is coming from Cedar Rapids writer Phil Johnston and apparently Zach Galifianakis, who has been a favorite to star in the project amongst those who have read the book, is apparently attached to the project.

Brand New Trailer for 'The Watch' Brings Sci-Fi Laughs and Blasts

By Ethan Anderton

"That's terrible for the cow, but this thing's awesome!" The last trailer for The Watch (the film formerly known as Neighborhood Watch) went straight for the sci-fi plotline after the teaser decided to leave that aspect out. Now we get a little more of a taste of alien action and comedy as Ben Stiller, Jonah Hill, Richard Ayoade and Vince Vaughn find some sort of alien weapon, and take more than a few shots at one of the deadly extra-terrestrials in a new trailer that premiered last night on "Conan." It's short and sweet, but brings the laughs and is quickly becoming one of my more anticipated comedies of the year.

Watch: A Cool Interactive Trailer for 'Snow White and the Huntsman'

By Ethan Anderton

Sure seeing the newest footage from big blockbusters is pretty great, especially on the big screen (such as the case with The Amazing Spider-Man showing six-minutes of footage before IMAX 3D screenings of Men in Black 3), but sometimes audiences want to dive a little deeper into the film. Sometimes featurettes and promotional videos do that just fine, but Universal has gone the extra mile to toss out a new interactive trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman, which rehashes the most recent trailer, but when you hover over the video, it has links to photo galleries, clips, featurettes and facts about the film. Check it out below!

The First Trailer for Baz Luhrmann's 'The Great Gatsby' Adaptation

By Ethan Anderton

Australian director Baz Luhrmann has already delivered tragic romance in the form of Moulin Rouge and his contemporary set adaptation of Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet, but now the filmmaker is telling another classic story in the form of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, in 3D no less. With an amazing main cast that includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton, the adaptation already sounded fantastic, but now the first trailer affirms our excitement with a contemporary feel (a Jay-Z and Kanye West song helps) next to the period setting and story that just works. Watch below!
