Nicolas Cage and Richard Kelly Suit Up for ‘Amicus’
This is a match made in crazy-movie heaven. Richard Kelly, the writer-director behind 'Donnie Darko' and Southland Tales,' will be writing and directing 'Amicus,' which has Nicolas Cage set to star. It's a true life story about murder and justice, with Cage playing a lawyer (which - to be fair - doesn't sound that out there).
‘Identity Thief’ Trailer Has Jason Bateman Battling Melissa McCarthy
Making comedy about a man whose credit line is ruined and is about to go to court for debt because of identity theft seems difficult. It's a nightmare scenario for anyone who's suffered it before. Hopefully Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy are enough to make 'Identity Thief' entertaining, and now we've got a trailer for the film.
‘The Avengers’ Gets an Honest Trailer
With the arrival of the film on Blu-ray, it's time to better assess the relative strengths and weakness of 'The Avengers.' Though the film was easily the most entertaining blockbuster of the summer, it's not without its faults. All of which are analyzed in the film's "honest trailer."
‘Seven Psychopaths’ Creates a Fake NSFW PSA
Oh guerrilla marketing. 'Seven Psychopaths' was an audience favorite at Toronto's International Film Festival, and director Martin McDonagh is highly respected, but it takes a lot for a quirky film to find an audience these days. And so the film has now produced some snarky in-character material to help sell the film.
‘Twilight Zone’ Movie Enters Twilight Zone
Warner Brothers has been looking to make a new version of a 'The Twilight Zone' movie for a while now, and had Matt Reeves (director of 'Cloverfield' and 'Let Me In') attached with a script being rewritten by Anthony Peckham (who wrote the upcoming 'Jack Ryan').

‘The Mummy’ Re-Reboot To Be Helmed by Len Wiseman?
In Hollywood, often people fail upwards, as there no other reason why Universal would hire Len Wiseman to helm their 'Mummy' Reboot (or re-reboot, if the 1930's and 40's versions count). But the man behind the 'Total Recall' remake is very close to being chosen to direct the film.
Want a New Hulk Movie? You’re Going to Have to Wait
One of the breakout stars of 'The Avengers' was Mark Ruffalo and his turn as the Hulk. He was the third actor to take on the role, but between the actor and Joss Whedon's writing and directing, the character finally clicked. After the release, many people mentioned wanting a new Hulk movie, but if that comes to pass it's going to be a long wait.
‘Robopocalypse’ May Add Anne Hathaway and Tom Rothman
We haven't heard much about Steven Spielberg's 'Robopocalypse' since it was announced that Chris Hemsworth was talking about joining the cast, but now it seems the film is adding more talent in front of and behind the camera. Anne Hathaway is supposedly circling the female lead, while Tom Rothman is in talks to produce the film.
Matt Damon and John Krasinski Lead ‘Promised Land’ Trailer
