Idris Elba Teases ‘Pacific Rim’ Monsters; Co-Writers Promise Epic Action
Feb 21st
It’s pretty easy to be excited about seeing Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming sci-fi project, titled Pacific Rim . The film boasts a great cast of fan-favorite leads and decorated character actors alike, marks the first film co-written and directed by del Toro since the second Hellboy flick – and, perhaps most important of all, is about gigantic extraterrestrial monsters from another dimension attacking earth and battling 25-foot-tall robotic machinery operated by humans via tech that connects directly to the pilots’ brains

Action heavyweights Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are expected to briefly share the screen together in this summer’s macho brawl sequel, The Expendables 2 . However, it’s an upcoming prison escape thriller titled The Tomb which – as producer Mark Canton ( 300 , Immortals ) puts it – will truly feature the pair “going Mano-a-mano” like Robert De Niro and Al Pacino did in Michael Mann’s Heat
Mark Millar Claims ‘Kick-Ass 2′ Will Start Shooting in Summer 2012
Feb 20th
Mark Millar certainly likes to talk big – but that doesn’t mean everything (or even most of what) he says is always true. The more egregious examples of the Wanted and Kick-Ass comic book writer-turned-producer making bold claims that amounted to nothing include: his comments about A-listers like Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp being pursued for the (currently stalled) Nemesis adaptation, and virtually everything he’s said to date about the followup to Matthew Vaughn’s film adaptation of the Kick-Ass comic, titled Kick-Ass 2: Balls to the Wall

Feb 20th
As the release date for The Avengers inches closer and closer, fans are becoming all the more psyched to see their favorite Marvel superheroes together onscreen at last.

One of innumerable franchises currently in the early stages of a reboot/remake treatment is the Perry Mason series, which really exploded in popularity when Raymond Burr portrayed the title character in a 1950s TV show version (based in part on Erle Stanley Gardner’s original novels).

Feb 18th
Seeing how Summit is sticking to a planned Summer 2013 release date for Red 2 , it’s long been known that Red director Robert Schwentke wouldn’t be returning for the sequel – as he’ll be busy with post-production on R.I.P.D. when production on the new installment about (sorta) retired special ops agents gets underway. Hence, the search for Schwentke’s replacement has been officially ongoing for some six months now
‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Clip: Peter Parker vs. Doorman
Feb 18th
The first official clip from The Amazing Spider-Man has appeared online, and as you might imagine, it doesn’t pull out the “big guns” – that is, offer another sneak peek ofthe impressive 3D set pieces or sequences with Spidey flinging himself around New York (as teased in the extended preview ). It instead provides a brief look at a quieter and more light-hearted scene from the Spider-Man reboot. At the beginning of the second Amazing Spider-Man trailer , Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) jokingly tells Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) that he climbed some twenty floors up the fire escape, so as to avoid her “intimidating” doorman – this clip reveals Pete’s encounter with said scary concierge.
‘Playback’ Red & Green Band Trailers: Serial Killing Goes Viral
Feb 17th
There have been several films released in the 21st century that take the idea of a population addicted to voyeurism to bloody extremes. Just off the top of my head: The Ring , Untraceable and the entire found-footage sub-genre (led by Paranormal Activity ) all suggest that our collective obsession with watching is not only a detrimental thing – it’s downright dangerous

New ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Images & Set Photos
Feb 17th
Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman won’t be the first retelling of the Grimm fairy tale to hit theaters in 2012 (that honor goes to Mirror Mirror ) but the former’s darkly fantastical, action-packed spin on the story already has many moviegoers excited to see this new iteration of the famous princess fable. Huntsman stars Kristen Stewart as Snow White, who is “destined” to become the most beautiful woman in a faraway kingdom. That does not sit well with Queen Ravenna (Charlize Theron), the (literally) iron-clawed sorceress obsessed with maintaing a youthful exterior.
‘This Means War’ Review
Feb 17th
Screen Rant’s Ben Kendrick reviews This Means War For many moviegoers, the combination of Tom Hardy ( The Dark Knight Rises ) and Chris Pine ( Star Trek ) in the role of CIA operative partners (or, to the outside world, travel agent and cruise ship captain, respectively) would, in another film, be a recipe for hard-hitting action full of witty tongue-in-cheek charm.
