First Trailer for Tarantino's 'Django Unchained' Playing 'Prometheus'

Briefly: Word from a Variety editor named Stuart Oldham (via twitter) is that the first official teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti western Django Unchained will be arriving very soon. In fact, he reports a scoop that "the first Django Unchained teaser will play in front of Prometheus." Even more good reason to go see Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi, arriving in theaters on June 8th. The Weinstein Company teased 7 minutes of the very first footage from Django to press in Cannes (myself included - video blog here) which means they're getting ready to unleash this, and I cant wait to see what the first teaser looks like. We'll definitely keep you updated and will let you know if this is officially confirmed in the next few weeks.

'Sucker Punch' Star Emily Browning Back Inside the Mind with 'Plush'

By Ben Pearson

Despite its impressive visuals and interesting premise, Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch became one of the most critically reviled films of 2011. Its unorthodox plot structure explored the concept of sanity, and now lead actress Emily Browning is set to star in another movie that deals with similar themes. Variety reports that Browning has joined the cast of Plush, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke's newest original film that follows a psychic psychologist who dives into the minds of patients to help them confront their issues, but he soon discovers there is a young girl (Browning) who possesses the same gift he does.

'Iron Sky' Helmer Mixes Nazis and Time Travel in 'I Killed Adolf Hitler'

By Ben Pearson

If the movie title Iron Sky doesn't instantly sound familiar to you, you may know it better as simply "that movie where Nazis are on the moon." It looks like that film's director Timo Vuorensola is keeping Nazis on the brain, as Twitchfilm reports that he will be directing a three episode prequel TV miniseries detailing how the Nazis arrived on the moon and a big screen sequel after that. But the most interesting news is a separate project set during WWII, a time traveling comedy called I Killed Adolf Hitler. Based on an award-winning graphic novel by Jason (yep, just one name), the story sounds absolutely brilliant. Read on!

Wilson & Wilde Join Baumbach and Anderson Produced Indie Comedy

By Ethan Anderton

Over a year and a half ago we heard about a new project from The Last Picture Show director Peter Bogdanovich with filmmakers Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach producing. The indie comedy was said to merely be about "about an escort, a theatre director and a private detective," but that's all we knew at the time. Now Variety has some solid updates on the project, titled Squirrel to the Nuts, as frequent Anderson collaborator Owen Wilson is attached to star along with Olivia Wilde and 21 Jump Street and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star Brie Larson. Apparently Jason Schwartzman might also join. Read on!

'Casino Royale' Villain Mads Mikkelsen Takes 'Thor 2' Bad Guy Role

By Ethan Anderton

Now that Marvel has firmed up not one, but three different villains for Iron Man 3, it's time that the other Marvel Studios blockbuster for 2013 got some casting as well. Variety has word that Mads Mikkelsen, likely most recognized for playing the blood-crying villain Le Chiffre in the Casino Royale with Daniel Craig, will be playing an unknown villain in Thor 2. However, don't count out Tom Hiddleston as Loki since the trade also says the mischievous brother of Thor will still have a big part as the sequel's antagonist. And for those who have seen The Avengers (hell, who hasn't?), there should be plenty of tension back at Asgard.

'Iron Man 3' Adds Another Villain with Ashley Hamilton as Firepower

By Ethan Anderton

It sounds like Tony Stark is going to have his hands full in Iron Man 3. Not only has Ben Kingsley been cast as a villain in the Marvel sequel starring Robert Downey Jr., but James Badge Dale's role as Eric Savin, a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army put in charge of Project: Ultra who later becomes Coldblood after stepping on a mine and having cybernetic surgery performed on him, is said to be a bad guy, too. Now it sounds like there's one more adversary for Iron Man to blast away as Variety reports Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton, and personal friend of Downey, will play Firepower, another cyborg villain.

Bradley Cooper Targets 'American Sniper' Adaptation at Warner Bros

By Ben Pearson

After The Hangover took the world by storm, it was clear Bradley Cooper was a star on the rise. He has since gone on to act in a ton of high-profile projects, but he's also teamed with Warner Bros. and started his own production company called 22nd & Indiana. According to THR, Cooper and his partners have found their first project with a film called American Sniper, based on Navy SEAL Chris Kyle's autobiography American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History. Cooper is producing and also considering the starring role, while Jason Dean Hall (Spread) writing. More below!

Universal Developing Lego 'Hero Factory' Line into a Movie Now, Too

By Ethan Anderton

Even after adapting a peg-based board game into the blockbuster dud that was Battleship, the folks at Universal Pictures aren't done with toy-based film adaptations just yet. Heat Vision has word that the studio is developing a movie based on the LEGO toy line Hero Factory. However, unlike Battleship, or the LEGO brick in general (which is still big enough to get a movie from the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs filmmakers), this toyline comes with a whole mythology and a real storyline on which to base a screenplay. And that job has fallen to Predators screenwriters Michael Finch and Alex Litvak this time. More below!

Zoe Saldana Joining the Stacked Female Line-Up for 'Machete Kills'?

By Ben Pearson

For a guy whose first movie cost around $7,000, Robert Rodriguez has an impressive amount of connections in Hollywood these days. He worked with some of the industry's biggest stars in Sin City (and will again in the sequel), and his upcoming Machete sequel, Machete Kills, reunites him with original cast members Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jessica Alba, adds hotties Amber Heard and Sofia Vergara, and has Mel Gibson as the villain. Now it appears Rodriguez is using one more of his connections, because Trejo revealed in an interview with Moviehole that Zoe Saldana is the latest actress to join. More below!

Rupert Grint Looks to Join 'Death of Charlie Countryman' and 'CBGB'

By Ethan Anderton

Though acting turns outside of the Harry Potter franchise from Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) in films like Driving Lessons, Cherrybomb and Wild Target haven't exactly been as easily recognized as co-stars Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson in The Woman in Black and My Week with Marilyn respectively, that doesn't mean the red-haired Brit is giving up on acting just yet. In fact, Variety has word that Grint has locked down two new fairly high profile projects with the Shia LaBeouf led thriller The Necessary Death of Charlie Countryman and the underground music scene drama CBGB, based on the NYC club of the same name.

Anthony Hopkins Taking Villainous Role in 'RED 2' If Schedule Allows

By Ethan Anderton

Our most recent talk of Anthony Hopkins came in the form of an awesome first look photo from Hitchcock, the film formerly known as Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho, with the actor in full make-up as the iconic title director. It was a stunning piece of work on behalf of the make-up department, and we can't wait to see the likely Oscar-caliber performance Hopkins will deliver. However, the actor isn't passed having a little fun on the big screen either. That was evident with his turn as Odin in Thor (a powerful performance) and now Deadline says Hopkins is being courted to play the villain in RED 2 next.

Robert Pattinson Reuniting with David Cronenberg for Another Film

By Ben Pearson

Body horror expert David Cronenberg will likely take great pleasure in freaking the hell out of a bunch of Twilight fans who line up to see his new film Cosmopolis just because their beloved Robert Pattinson stars in it. (Alex is planning on seeing that movie at the Cannes Film Festival premiere in the next couple of days, so stay tuned for that.) In the meantime, RPLife (via The Playlist) interviewed Pattinson and the actor revealed he's already set for a reunion with the director. There's no just title yet and details on the plot are scarce, but fans will be pleased to hear that Cronenberg "promises it will be very strange." More below!

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

By Ethan Anderton

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.
