Watch: Charming Mother's Day Spot for Pixar's 'Brave' is a Must See

"Mom, it's just my bow!" It's Mother's Day in the U.S. and there isn't a more perfect film to get a special feature than Pixar's Brave.

A charming way to highlight some excellent Brave footage on Mother's Day, that's for sure. Enjoy!

Oscorp Unveiled + Lizard Evidence Found in Latest 'Spider-Man' Viral

By Alex Billington

Are you prepared to engineer a brave new tomorrow? The ongoing viral for The Amazing Spider-Man picked up in a big way today, with some creepy local pick-ups in 12 different cities across the country. While the focus for the last few months has been Spidey himself and the Mark of the Spider-Man, earlier this week the new Oscorp Industries website was discovered, launching the next phase of the viral which involves The Lizard this time. A twitter called @ScaleSeeker run by another student at Peter Parker's high school tweeted out locations all day for pick ups including creepy Lizard evidence - like a shredded Oscorp lab coat.

Is There an 'Anchorman 2' Teaser Trailer Playing Before 'The Dictator'?

By Ethan Anderton

Just a few days ago, SlashFilm featured a small bit of potential sequel news saying that a Reddit user claimed there would be a teaser for Anchorman 2 attached to The Dictator when it hits theaters next Wednesday. The reader seemed to have a decent amount of information including the title Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and also a running time of one minute and seven seconds. But with a script (that will partially deal with 24-hour news) still in the works and the film at least a year away, it seemed a little early for that. Of course, a Twitter update from director and writer Adam McKay seems to confirm that.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Gets a Trio of International Character Posters

By Ethan Anderton

So far the posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have been pretty damn spectacular, and I think I'm going to end up buying each and every one we've featured so far for my wall. Now the hype machine is gearing up overseas too as a small batch of international character posters have surfaces, finally putting emphasis on the cast itself rather than just the iconic image of Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield has the mask removed as Peter Parker, Emma Stone gets her own posters as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans gets a creepy poster with his Lizard scales starting to show. After that last trailer, I can't wait to see this flick.

Watch: 'The Eagleman Stag' Stop-Motion Award-Winning Short Film

By Alex Billington

Earlier this year we featured the entire Oscar winning animated short film (The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore) and, despite my love for Pixar and their film La Luna, it was easy to see why it won the Oscar. It's the same case here again, with the short that won the 2011 BAFTA for Best Animated Short, titled The Eagleman Stag about "Peter Eagleman", made by UK animator Mikey Please. The short is beautifully stop-motion animated and made out of this white, foam that adds a very unique aesthetic to the overall story. I always love discovering great work like this and I highly suggest seeing the entire film below.

Get Yourself Frozen in Carbonite at Disney's Star Wars Weekends!

By Ethan Anderton

One of the most iconic images from the entirety of the Star Wars saga is that of smuggler Han Solo encased in carbonite after a run in with Darth Vader and Boba Fett on Cloud City, courtesy of a bad move by Lando Calrissian. The statuesque fate of Solo has been immortalized by taking the form of ice cube trays, a lovely bar of chocolate, a refreshing bar of soap, and one of the most bad ass desks I've ever seen. But now fans can live the dream of freezing themselves in carbonite, sort of. Disney's Star Wars Weekends at Disney World in Florida will be crafting custom carbonite figurines for fans for a limited time this summer.

Watch: Excellent 'Moonrise Kingdom' Behind-the-Scenes Featurette

By Alex Billington

"When a director is a great as Wes is..." Focus posted an excellent 3-minute featurette for Wes Anderson's upcoming romantic comedy Moonrise Kingdom, which is premiering at Cannes this month just before hitting US theaters. We've seen the official trailer for this and it looks so damn good, but now we've got an even better featurette. It shows a lot of footage, but also interviews with most of the cast, like Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Bruce Willis, Edward Norton and Tilda Swinton, as well as co-writer Roman Coppola. There's also plenty of shots of Wes Anderon filming and much more, so take a look - it's good!

20th Century Fox Says Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus' Officially Rated R

By Ethan Anderton

Briefly: Earlier today, a user on IMDb was so excited for Ridley Scott's summer sci-fi film Prometheus, that he'd already picked up his IMAX ticket. Collider felt this was newsworthy because it was noted on the purchased ticket that the film was apparently given an R-rating. There has been some debate about whether Scott's film would indeed be going for restricted audiences, but we weren't sure that this was official. Thankfully, 20th Century Fox has followed up to confirm that Prometheus is rated R for "sci-fi violence including some intense images, and brief language." This is good news for everyone 17 and older!

Del Toro Says 'Prometheus' May Have Killed 'Mountains of Madness'

By Ethan Anderton

At the Mountains of Madness / Guillermo del Toro

It's been a rough few years for Guillermo del Toro as a filmmaker. Not only was he unable to follow through as director of The Hobbit (though his work will surely still be seen in some form of Peter Jackson's take on the adaptation), but Universal killed his passion project of an adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountains of Madness, a film he's been trying to get made for about a decade. Thankfully, Pacific Rim is on the way with plenty of monster mayhem and action. And while there were hopes his Lovecraft adaptation would find life again later, del Toro seems to think another sci-fi film has beat him to the punch. Read on!

'Skyfall' Interview: Sam Mendes Discusses 'Bond 23' from Istanbul

By Alex Billington

"Regeneration, rather than evolve." As part of my on set experience in Istanbul to see the opening action scene of James Bond's Skyfall being filmed in Turkey, I was asked to be part of a roundtable interview with director Sam Mendes. A large group of press the day prior to visiting the set got to briefly ask the director questions about Bond 23, which is currently in the middle of shooting, with roughly 20 days of filming left until they're finished. Sam, who I think was an inspired choice to take on this latest Bond, reveals some interesting details regarding his motivation and where they're taking the story and the characters in Skyfall.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in Political Ads for 'The Campaign'

By Ethan Anderton

We got our first look at political rivals Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in a new comedy from Game Change and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach, and now the advertising campaign for The Campaign is kicking off via Facebook. If you head over to the official page, you'll see the two lead men in character as Marty Huggins and Cam Brady, looking for your votes, introducing themselves in character for the film. Galifianakis' mustache in the first look photos had me hoping that his Seth Galifianakis persona would come through, and fans of that comedy bit won't be disappointed while Ferrell seems to be doing his best Al Gore.
