If you have seen The Pirates of the Caribbean 4 over the weekend then you will have most likely seen the first trailer for the upcoming The Muppets movie and as you can see above it’s not your typical trailer.
The trailer starts out with a fake trailer for a fake movie, Green With Envy, that is basically your typical rom-com stuff (they even created a fake poster which you can see below).
James Bobin is the director behind the movie while Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller wrote the script for it. Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Segel all star in the movie along with a bunch of other cameos.
The Muppets is set for release on November 23rd, I for one will definitely be checking it out. Will you?
It’s been 15 years since the first Scream came out in theaters and instantly became a classic and it’s been 11 years since Scream 3 came out. Now Scream 4 is set to be released tomorrow, and I can’t wait for it, so to celebrate this Digital Spy have come up with a list of the five best Scream death scenes. See if your favorite is on it:
05. Liev Schreiber – Scream 3
The initial suspect in the murder of Sidney Prescott’s mother Maureen, Cotton Weary was in fact framed by original killers Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Cotton, who was having an affair with Maureen at the time of her death, parlayed his trauma into becoming a Z-list celebrity. A talk show host by the time Scream 3 rolled around, Cotton and his girlfriend Christine (Kelly Rutherford) met a grisly end at the start of part 3 when Ghostface came looking for Sid…
04. Sarah Michelle Gellar – Scream 2
Sarah Michelle Gellar was defining her career in the first season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer when she appeared in 1997′s hastily-assembled Scream sequel. It’s a clever bit of casting, as SMG’s smart-lipped sorority girl Casey ‘Cici’ Cooper gets nowhere near being “the final girl” as she carks it on campus. A knife in the back and drop off a balcony sees Buffy bite the dust in the clip below, which has a cracking ‘jump’ misdirection at the 3-minute mark and also features the voice of Gellar’s Cruel Intentions co-star Selma Blair…
3. Rose McGowan – Scream
“You wanna play psycho killer? Can I be the helpless victim?” Rose McGowan’s Tatum Riley almost gets away from Ghostface. But alas, that garage exit is just a bit too small for her to squeeze through. Getting squelched up against the ceiling is an undignified and painful end for Sidney’s best pal. Incidentally, Rose McGowan allegedly discovered during filming that she could fit all the way through the pet flap of doom…
2. Jamie Kennedy – Scream 2
Randy Meeks’s knowledge of horror cinema’s rules and conventions helped him survive the first Woodsboro bloodbath (just about!), but when it came to the sequel he was all out of luck. Played with a nerdy exuberance by Jamie Kennedy, Randy’s murder in the back of a truck was not met favourably by Scream fans so Craven resurrected the character via a recorded video message for Scream 3.
1. Drew Barrymore – Scream
It had to be this, didn’t it? The opening scene to Scream shocked cinemagoers and perfectly sets up the self-referential, satirical tone for the horror franchise. Drew Barrymore, who was on the verge of a career resurgence at the time, could’ve been the star of the franchise… Not so in Craven and writer Kevin Williamson’s mind. The pair rip a page out of Alfred Hitchcock’s book (Psycho famously offed Janet Leigh early), killing Drew’s Casey Becker in the opening minutes as she waits for her boyfriend. It sums up Scream’s ethos perfectly: Nobody is safe!
Of course Drew’s had to be number 1 but I would have made Sarah Michelle Gellar’s number 2. What are your thoughts?
Some people might consider Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson to be some of the hottest in Hollywood so you would imagine a sex scene between them both would be good. Not for her, she says it was disgusting.
Reese and Robert both star in their new movie ‘Water for Elephants’ and in it they are supposed to have a hot love scene and while most girls in the world would kill for this opportunity she says filming it made her stomach turn.
Speaking to InTouch Weekly she says “Rob possibly had the most hideous horrible cold of any co-star I’ve ever had to do a love scene with ever in my entire life. He was literally snorting and snotting through every second of it – and it was not appealing. I’m talking green, infectious, disgusting – I’m not kidding! I’m going to say it’s a little bit of a downer. I was a little disappointed. It wasn’t sexy.”
I won’t be watching this movie because it’s not my cup of tea at all but I will probably YouTube the sex scene just to see the exact moment when Reese was wanting to puke down his mouth.
I can’t believe I didn’t know that they were even making this movie because I am usually up to date on movies like this, but anyway here is the official trailer for the Rise of the Planet of the Apes which stars James Franco.
When I first seen this trailer I got all tingly on the inside but then I seen it was Franco as the star and my hopes were killed a little but I have to say the movie does look pretty damn good.
This is supposed to be a prequel to “Planet of the Apes” and see’s Franco’s character trying to find a cure for Alzheimer by testing on apes but while doing that he makes their brain work better. It is set for release on August 5th.
As you can see, the official poster for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released and as I guessed it’s all about Johnny Depp.
The poster shows Captain Jack Sparrow with a few mermaids and burning ship in the background, since Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom turned the 4th movie down they are not featured in it.
The movie’s synopsis goes as this “Jack Sparrow and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his daughter are after it too.”
Penelope Cruz will play Blackbeard’s daughter and Gemma Ward will also star in the movie so that’s were I will be getting my eye candy from when I watch this movie on DVD, because there’s no way I’m going to see it in theaters as I have a feeling it is going to be dreadful and just like the past movies will be full of Jack Sparrow. If you do want to see the movie in theaters it’s released on May 20, 2011.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake announced that they had broken up last Friday and both said that the breakup was mutual but straight away there was rumors that the real reason they broke up was over Mila Kunis.
Justin and Jessica had started dating back in 2007 but all throughout the relationships there was rumors of him cheating with every woman under the sun, most recently was Mila because they worked on a movie together. But apparently they are just friends and she had nothing to do with the breakup, or so a source tells People:
“Mila had nothing to do with their break-up, In fact, no one came between them. They decided their relationship ran its course and it was time to move on. They’re not in a relationship, they star in a movie called Friends with Benefits but they’re just friends. That’s it. They are not together.”
Yeah how many times have we heard that before regarding celebrities just being friends after rumors of them having an affair and we all know that Justin is not shoy about keeping it in his pants. I guess time will tell.
In one of the most random castings ever, it’s been announced that Sacha Baron Cohen will be playing Queen front man Freddie Mercury in a new movie based on the band.
The movie is set to start shooting in 2011 and was written by Peter Morgan, it’s said the movie will be about the bands rise to fame not center around Freddie dying of AIDS. A rep for the production company said…
“Queen is one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and a music brand all unto itself, Freddie Mercury was an awe-inspiring performer, so with Sacha in the starring role coupled with Peter’s screenplay and the support of Queen, we have the perfect combination to tell the real story behind their success.”
They haven’t decided if Sacha will sing or if they will just use Freddie’s vocals but the other members of Queen have given permission for them to use all their songs, making it the first time they’ve done this for a movie.
At first I what the fuck? But when I think of it, Sacha kind of does look a bit like Freddie and he isn’t a bad actor when he takes on serious roles. What do you think?

The official trailer for Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp‘s movie, The Tourist, has been released and it looks like a mixture of every movie she has done before.
The movie is about Elise (Jolie), a woman who deliberately meets and seduces Frank (Depp) but after hooking up he is forced to go on the run after a case of mistaken identity while she appears to be some sort of spy.
The movie is released on December 10th, I’ll be waiting on DVD or for it to leak online. What do you think of the trailer?
We all know that Christina Hendricks is hot and has one of the best racks out there but unfortunately that is all we are ever going to know because she will never go nude.
Apparently the Mad Men actress is going to try break into the world of movies but most of the offers she is getting are asking her to go nude. A friend said…
“Christina is riding the crest of a wave right now and the offers are flooding in, he would love to do more movies and is in the process of considering projects to tie in with the show’s hiatus. She has noticed though that a good number of roles she’s being offered require her to go nude. Clearly everyone wants to see more of Christina but she doesn’t want to be over exposed in the wrong way.”
Well that sucks.

The trailer for Joaquin Phoenix‘s ‘I’m Still Here’ movie is finally here and I don’t really know what to think about it. Take a look and judge for yourself.
The documentary (or mockumentary as some believe it to be), which was directed by Casey Affleck follows Joaquin as he gives up his life as an actor and tries to make it as a hip-hop star. The trailer doesn’t really give much away, it’s just a few shots from the movie and some man talking about water or something like that.
There’s been loads of controversy around this movie, including sexual harassment lawsuits against Casey. But could it all just be to drum up publicity for the movie? I guess time will tell when it’s released. By the way the production company is titled “They Are Going to Kill Us Productions.”
The trailer for Saw 3D has been released, even though the movie is still in the being edited, and you can watch it right here.
The trailer says “Every master craftsman – and all true geniuses – always save their best – for last.” Which means the 7th movie will see the Saw franchise is finally coming to an end when it’s released on October 29th. The producers said…
“We have told the story we wanted to tell, and this is going to be a great farewell. It’s more violent than any of them. But it’s in 3-D, it answers all the questions, it comes full circle. We have the goods on this one.”
Even though I don’t really like any of the Saw movies, yet I’ve watched all of them, I can’t wait to see this one because it’s in 3D.
Edward Norton dropped out of reprising his role as The Hulk and since they are going to make another movie here is a list of 12 actors who could end up taking over for Norton.
12. Paul Rudd
Rudd has been insanely likeable in so many comedies over the last few years, we’d love to see him step up to the blockbuster plate.
Incredible Hulk?: Rudd could definitely convince as Banner, bringing a lighter touch to the role than his forebears Bana and Norton.
Hulk Smash: We just can’t imagine Rudd getting angry. Ever.
11. Jon Hamm
TV’s Mad Men has gained Hamm small-screen fame and acting plaudits aplenty, but he’s yet to have a standout film role. Joining The Avengers could be the perfect opportunity to repeat his success on the big screen.
Incredible Hulk?: As Don Draper, Hamm has had plenty of experience dealing with repressed anger.
Hulk Smash: We wouldn’t want anything to conflict with his chance of being cast as Superman in that upcoming reboot.
10. Daniel Craig
With Bond on a seemingly endless hiatus, Craig is currently looking for projects to fill his schedule with.
Incredible Hulk?: He’s no stranger to carrying a high-stakes franchise on his shoulders, and has proved he’s not afraid of rebooting a well-known character in Casino Royale.
Hulk Smash: Taking on two iconic characters can be tricky, and fans might just reject the idea of James Bond hulking out.
9. Timothy Olyphant
Olyphant’s lower-rung level of fame would probably help him slip into a role previously inhabited by Eric Bana and Ed Norton. Come to think about it, he kinda resembles a morph of the two actors.
Incredible Hulk?: TV roles in Deadwood and Justified show Olyphant can really act when required, and he also did a decent job in the better-than-it-should-have-been remake of The Crazies.
Hulk Smash: Olyphant’s previous blockbuster efforts, Die Hard 4.0 and Hitman, have been pretty awful. Perhaps he should stick to quality telly instead.
8. Andy Serkis
The world starting taking notice of mocap acting after Serkis’ CG-augmented performance as Gollum/Smeagol in The Lord of the Rings. He’s also taken advantage of plenty of opportunities to show off his skills as flesh actor
Incredible Hulk?: It’d be exciting to see what mocap king Serkis could do as the green, musclebound lunk.
Hulk Smash: Hobbit commitments could see Serkis called away at any point, should the production get a green light.
7. Mark Ruffalo
Mark Ruffalo has been consistently providing great support in various ace films for so long (Eternal Sunshine, Collateral, Zodiac, Shutter Island), he deserves a shot at an iconic lead role.
Incredible Hulk?: Looks wise, Ruffalo would be an awesome match for the comics’ Bruce Banner.
Hulk Smash: Ruffalo been showing his directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious at various festivals, so he might not be available for superhero shenanigans.
6. Ryan Gosling
Gosling was gathering serious acclaim as his generation’s best actor in film’s like The Believer and Half Nelson. Leaving The Lovely Bones meant things went a bit quiet for a while, but he’s back with a bang in astounding drama Blue Valentine.
Incredible Hulk?: He would make for a fascinatingly conflicted Bruce Banner, ensuring you’d feel the big guy’s angst and anger.
Hulk Smash: We’re not sure we could see Gosling interested in a summer tentpole of this size, and he may not be the commercial investment Marvel would be after.
5. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Shaking off the ‘that kid out of 3rd Rock from the Sun’ tag, Gordon-Levitt has been building up an increasingly impressive body of film work, including a key role Nolan’s Inception.
Incredible Hulk?: J G-L’s got the same mix of indie cred, lady-slaying charm and genuine acting ability that Robert Downey Jr brought to Iron Man.
Hulk Smash: He’s rumoured to be up for a role in Batman 3, which might see him out of the running here. And he could be just a little too young-looking for Bruce Banner.
4. David Duchovny
The actor formerly known as Fox Mulder was rumoured to be in contention for the Banner role in The Incredible Hulk before Norton was cast. He could really do with a hit, after the disappointment of the second X-Files movie, and the lacklustre reception given to The Joneses.
Incredible Hulk?: There’s no doubting Duchovny can act, and his days in The X-Files earnt him a cult following.
Hulk Smash: Could his ongoing TV role in Californication get in the way? Perhaps he’s just better suited to the small screen.
3. Adrien Brody
Brody won an Oscar for his role in Holocaust drama The Pianist, but the serious thesp has since flexed his action muscles in King Kong and Predators.
Incredible Hulk?: Brody bulked up impressively for Predators, and his role in Splice proves he can wear a lab coat with conviction.
Hulk Smash: The CGI Hulk normally takes on some of the Banner actor’s facial features, and we just can’t see Hulk with Adrien’s massive hooter.
2. Sharlto Copley
Copley had virtually no acting experience (he worked in production and did a bit of directing) before Neill Blomkamp cast him as the lead in District 9. His performance was one of the surprises of last year, and he’s also going to be seen half-inching scenes from this summer’s The A-Team as ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock.
Incredible Hulk?: Copley knows how to bring humanity to an effects-heavy blockbuster, and is familiar with undergoing bodily transformation.
Hulk Smash: Would the role put be too similar to D9′s Wikus for the chameleon-like Copley?
1. Joaquin Phoenix
No sooner had Ed Norton been unceremoniously dissociated from the role than early online rumours were speculating that JQ could be in the running for the job.
Incredible Hulk?: He could certainly pull of the troubled, hounded Bruce Banner in his sleep, and after his wilderness period, The Avengers would be the perfect big-scale blockbuster to put him back on the movie map.
Hulk Smash: We’re not sure we want Hulk to try to reinvent himself as a rapper, however hilarious the consequences.
If I had to choose one of these then I would opt for Timothy Olyphant. Who would you want to take on the role?
Here is a new poster for Robert Rodriguez‘s new movie, Machete, and as you can see it features Lindsay Lohan dressed up as a nun while licking a gun. How edgy.
Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez also star in the movie.
I’m kind of confused why she has her own movie poster because the official trailer, which you can see below, for the movie doesn’t even show or mention Lohan in it. But I guess they wanted to get some controversy and what better way to do that than have a soon to be inmate dressed as a nun while licking a gun.

The official trailer for “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” has finally been released along with some new photos.
The final installment from the franchise is going to be split up into two parts, obviously because they want to cash in on the movie even more, the first one will be released on November 19 and the second will be released July 15th 2011.
Yes we are going to have to put up with Potter mania for another whole year. Both parts of the movie will be released in 3D, again because they can cash in more from those expensive ticket sales. But I have to be honest, I would take Harry Potter over the Twilight crap any day of the week. This trailer actually looks really good.

Toy Story 3 is out in movie theaters now and because of this Time Magazine have come up with a list of the 10 best movie sidekicks ever. Take a look and see if your favorites are included.
01. Buzz Lightyear (Toy Story)
Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t describe himself as a sidekick; the space-age toy is too egotistical for that. But in Toy Story 3, Woody the cowboy is the one chosen to go off to college with the toys’ now 17-year-old owner Andy, knocking Buzz firmly to the No. 2 position. Most sidekicks have mediocre or second-tier outfits and weapons, but Buzz Lightyear does pretty well for himself. He has a jet pack, an antigravity belt and a space suit that’s impervious to attack. Not to shabby for a pompous piece of plastic.
02. Chewbacca (Star Wars)
As Han Solo’s copilot on the smuggling ship Millennium Falcon, Chewbacca rode sidekick for every battle with the evil Galactic Empire. The 7 ft. 3 in. tall Wookie, (played by the actually 7 ft. 3 in. tall Peter Mayhew) was an enforcer, bodyguard and loyal soldier. In Episode VI: Return of the Jedi — the final installment of the original Star Wars trilogy — Chewbacca helped save Han Solo from the evil Jabba the Hutt before playing a major part in the destruction of the second Death Star. For that, we bid him a hearty rawwr!
03. Cameron (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off)
Let’s get one thing straight: Ferris Bueller is kind of a jerk. He does whatever he wants without caring how it affects anyone else, and wraps his selfishness up in a holier-than-thou postmodern values system. The real heart of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is his best friend, Alan Ruck’s Cameron. While Ferris prances around being impossibly awesome, Cameron has actual real-world problems (depression, cold parents, a hopeless crush on Ferris’ girlfriend) to deal with. He’s a bit of a whiner, but that doesn’t stop him from being a loyal, kind and funny friend. You could even argue that Cameron is the movie’s main character: of the central trio, he’s the only one who grows over the course of the film. When he takes the blame for the destruction of his dad’s Ferrari, it’s the most heroic moment in the whole movie.
04. Sam (Casablanca)
The fundamental things apply: a great romance needs a great soundtrack. Casablanca had both these and more — a sidekick who could perform the key song whenever nostalgia hit. Ingrid Bergman’s Ilsa didn’t accompany Humphrey Bogart’s Rick from Paris to Morocco, but Sam (Dooley Wilson) did. And as the piano player at Rick’s Café Americain, he’s the one singing “As Time Goes By” — at Ilsa’s request — when the two lost lovers meet again. But you must remember this: no one in the 1942 classic actually says, “Play it again, Sam.”
05. Jiminy Cricket (Pinocchio)
Jiminy Cricket, the adorable little insect who appears in Walt Disney’s 1940 film Pinocchio, isn’t so much a sidekick as he is the character who gives Pinocchio a swift kick whenever he does anything wrong. And boy, does Pinocchio do a lot of things wrong! He ditches school, he gambles, he smokes, he drinks, he makes an ass out of himself (no, literally — he turns into a donkey), he even gets swallowed by a whale. Jiminy stays by him the entire time, lecturing and cajoling the wooden puppet to act properly.
06. Samwise Gamgee (Lord Of The Rings)
He was a gardener who became an unlikely hero. Samwise Gamgee — the hobbit tasked with accompanying Frodo Baggins on his quest to destroy the One Ring — did a lot of saving the day for just your average sidekick. Sam possessed a heart of gold and, at times, the nerves of a child. It’s his unyielding friendship that serves as the one constant inside Peter Jackson’s epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, and even in the story’s darkest hour it’s Sam who gets them through. With Frodo and Sam, Jackson had the perfect duo and one of film’s finest bromances to date. By the end of the saga, Sam’s a full-fledged tenured hero. Would Frodo have saved Middle Earth from the crushing reign of Sauron if it weren’t for his partner? Not a chance.
07. Walter Sobchak (The Big Lebowski)
The best sidekicks complement their heroes perfectly, and no hero of the ’90s had a better foil than Walter Sobchak, bowling buddy of Jeff Bridges’ the Dude in The Big Lebowski. This lumbering Vietnam vet is everything the laid-back Dude is not: militant, high-strung and obsessed with rules. He’s also, in many ways, a much better detective: though his hunches are frequently wrong, he shows more initiative in getting to the bottom of the movie’s shaggy-dog mystery than the Dude ever does. Simultaneously polite and profane, Walter is a perfect comic creation, and John Goodman gives one of his finest performances ever in the role, bringing a hilarious dignity to Walter’s outbursts. Is he wrong? No, never.
08. Felix Leiter (James Bond)
CIA agent Felix Leiter, James Bond’s “brother from Langley,” has helped 007 out of scrapes and snafus for nearly five decades. Whether putting Bond on the trail of Goldfinger, backing his poker play in Casino Royale or warning him he’s the target of an assassination team in Quantum of Solace, Leiter has appeared in 10 official Bond flicks. In License to Kill, it was Bond who had Felix’s back when Leiter (mysteriously transferred to the DEA) had to track down a smuggler on his wedding day. Bond helped nab the bad guy, and he and Felix parachuted into the church parking lot decked out in their morning suits. Bond returned a decades-long favor by serving as Leiter’s best man.
09. Cosmo Brown (Singin’ in the Rain)
Naturally, Gene Kelly sings the title song in Singin’ in the Rain. But as the dashing lead’s best friend, Cosmo Brown, Donald O’Connor sings what could be the theme for sidekicks everywhere — “Make ‘Em Laugh.” Instead of twirling umbrellas and splashing in puddles, he walks into walls, does backflips off others and gets hit by wood planks (repeatedly). It’s a remarkable sequence, but not Cosmo’s only number. He’s central to “Fit as a Fiddle,” “Moses Supposes” and “Good Morning.” As befitting a sidekick, Cosmo works behind the scenes — as a pianist for the movie studio — while his former vaudeville partner, Don Lockwood, is the bona fide star. Cosmo, though, has the better sense of humor.
10. Goose (Top Gun)
Like all good sidekicks, Goose served alternately as a wingman, counselor, buddy and partner in crime. As the radar intercept officer for Top Gun’s cowboy pilot Maverick, Goose rode backseat in the F-14A Tomcat. He snapped a Polaroid of Maverick flipping an upside down bird to a Soviet pilot, sang a duet of “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” as part of Maverick’s elaborate pickup line and took his share of the heat for Maverick’s high jinks. Goose was not only Maverick’s best friend, but also his only family. What more could you ask from a sidekick?
I’m surprised that Ron and Hermione from the Harry Potter movies are excluded from this list, but overall I think Time did a good job at picking these characters.
