Watch: New Trailer for Teen Party Movie 'Project X' with Early Quotes

Project X Trailer

"Like Superbad on crack." Are you ready for this party? Warner Bros has debuted a second official trailer in HD via Apple for Project X, the upcoming "secret" teen party movie produced by Todd Phillips (of Old School, The Hangover, Due Date). The first trailer for Project X featured a rather surprising unveiling for just how massive this party is, and this trailer does the same, but also tosses in some peculiar uncredited, nondescript quotes from an "early screening". I'm not even sure those are real? Anyway, it still looks fun as hell for a massive party movie, especially when it gets totally wild with the car and flamethrower. Have fun!

Check This Out: First Official 'Jeff Who Lives at Home' Poster Arrives

Jeff Who Lives at Home

The first step to finding your destiny is leaving your mother's basement. Indeed. The first official poster has (finally) debuted via SlashFilm for Jeff Who Lives at Home, the new Duplass Brothers comedy starring Jason Segel and Ed Helms. This hilarious film (my review from TIFF) follows a stoner who lives in his mom's basement (Segel) that leaves on an adventure to get some wood glue, and somehow along the way discovers his destiny and helps his brother track down his cheating wife. I like the simple, sleek design of this poster, with the wooden backing being so prominent. The trailer hits tomorrow, so check back then.

Gorgeous Official US Poster for 'The Flowers of War' Finally Revealed

The Flowers of War

A mere 24 hours before this film gets quietly released in limited theaters, Wrekin Hill has finally released an official US poster (via IMDb) for The Flowers of War, the Zhang Yimou-directed WWII drama starring Christian Bale that was China's Best Foreign Film Oscar entry. While it is a fairly conventional poster with floating heads blended, I love the colors and the overall design and layout. It's eye-catching and a perfectly gorgeous poster to go along with an otherwise outstanding film. I got to see it late last year and enjoyed it a lot, it's very powerful filmmaking from one of China's best filmmakers, Zhang Yimou. Check it out below!

Tame First Poster for Bobcat Goldthwait's Wild 'God Bless America'

God Bless America Poster

Taking out the trash, one jerk at a time. Magnet Releasing debuted the first official poster for Bobcat Goldthwait's new comedy God Bless America, starring Joel Murray and Tara Lynne Barr (seen on the poster). The two realize they're fed up with American culture and decide to don weapons and "take out the trash." Unfortunately the tagline is the best part of this poster, because it's otherwise a very tame, lame, uninspired design for a film that I think deserves much better. Just look at this photo from the film! You can do better, Magnolia. This is a wild, crazy, hilarious film (my TIFF review) and I hope we see better posters.

Check This Out: Official Poster for Jason Statham's Action Film 'Safe'

Jason Statham in Safe

She has the code. He is the key. And no one is safe! Collider has unveiled the official theatrical poster for Boaz Yakin's Safe, the new action-thriller starring Jason Statham due out this spring (watch the trailer). While we've seen plenty of badass shots of Statham before, and lots of gun-pointed-at-the-camera imagery, this poster combines those two elements with some lush colors to deliver an eye-catching action design. I'm sure they're trying to make sure this poster stands out in the crowd of action flicks coming up, and putting Statham posed like this was definitely a smart idea. I like it, and I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.

Director George Lucas Seemingly Done Making Blockbuster Films?

George Lucas

With the three Star Wars prequels in his past and his second passion project finally hitting theaters in the form of Red Tails later this month, it sounds like filmmaker George Lucas is ready to step away from show business altogether. Well, at least he's doing to be done making the kind of films we've come to expect from the man behind such iconic franchise as The Star Wars Saga and the Indiana Jones series. Though Lucas recently told The NY Times, "I’m retiring. I’m moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff," longtime producing partner Rick McCallum doesn't think Lucas is done completely.

Tilda Swinton & Jamie Bell Also Cast in Bong Joon-ho's 'Snow Piercer'

Tilda Swinton & Jamie Bell

Ever since that casting of Chris Evans in Bong Joon-ho's new project Snow Piercer, I've been hearing rumors that he's lined up quite a big, fantastic cast. Variety reveals two more names, the first is Jamie Bell, who played Tintin in Spielberg's Golden Globe-winning movie, and Tilda Swinton, who should've won a Golden Globe for her performance in We Need to Talk About Kevin. This is the new post-apocalyptic sci-fi film set on a train in a future world covered entirely by snow, being directed by Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho, of The Host and Mother. Evans is also in the cast, and I'm sure many more folks yet to be revealed.

Highlights from The 69th Annual Golden Globes with Ricky Gervais

Golden Globes 2012

Last night, one of Hollywood's biggest nights unfolded with the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards honoring some of the best work on film and television in the year 2011. While both stars of the big and small screen were present, our focus was zeroed in on those who made a splash in cinema and of course, the skewering of stars by host and comedian Ricky Gervais who was just as bored as audiences and attendees. With more great digs at Johnny Depp, who even got in on some of the humor himself, Gervais killed again and despite a bland show there were some highlights, especially from those accepting the awards. Watch!

Official Trailer for Teachers Indie 'Detachment' with Adrien Brody

Detachment Trailer

"Do you ever think about who your teachers are on the outside?" Tribeca Films has debuted the official trailer for Detachment, starring Adrien Brody as a substitute teacher who observes and chronicles three weeks in the lives of several high school teachers, administrators and students. The cast includes Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Lucy Liu, James Caan, Tim Blake Nelson, Marcia Gay Harden, Blythe Danner and introducing Sami Gayle as Erica. This looks like a dramatic but intensely fascinating study of what life is like "in school", for everyone, teachers and students. Give it a shot, it looks quite good!

Review: Insipid End of the World Dealings in Xavier Gen's 'The Divide'

The Divide

Evidently a post-apocalyptic world is full of disgusting human beings who would gladly beat and rape you for a water supply. Good thing we have Xavier Gens to show us what that looks like. That's precisely what he's done with The Divide, a promising premise featuring more than a few multi-dimensional characters. Unfortunately, the intrigue to the film ends there, as it quickly devolves into gross people doing gross things to other gross people. For two hours. What we're left with is, yes, probably a pretty accurate depiction of how a group of people could break down in the days after a nuclear strike, but an uninteresting one made so in its tedious execution.

First Official 'Skyfall' Photo Features Daniel Craig as Bond in a Speedo

James Bond in Skyfall

I guess it's honestly no surprise that our first photo and first look at Daniel Craig back as James Bond in Sam Mendes' Skyfall, the 23rd Bond film, features him in a speedo and nothing else. That's pretty much how they started with Casino Royale, too. So here we are once again, and here's Bond in skimpy shorts, no shirt, sitting poolside. Empire has debuted "Skyfall gold", the first photo of Craig as Bond "during filming of Skyfall at the London Four Seasons." It's not much, but because we're Bond fanatics here and will be following the Bond 50 year ahead, I couldn't help but share this. If not for all the ladies more than anything.
