First Trailer and Poster for Ben Affleck’s ARGO Starring Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Kyle Chandler

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 8th, 2012 at 7:32 am

The first trailer and poster for Ben Affleck‘s Argo has gone online.  The film, based on a true story, centers on a CIA agent (Affleck) who attempts to rescue six Americans trapped in the home of the Canadian embassador during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  The rescue mission was to go in under the auspices of filming a science fiction movie entitled “Argo”.  The trailer makes the movie look like Ocean’s Eleven combined with a tense historical thriller.  I really like what I’m seeing from the trailer, and there’s a good chance Affleck could 3-for-3 in his successful directing career.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  The film also stars Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kyle Chandler, Kerry Bishe, and Alan Arkin.  Argo opens October 12th.

Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul Tease Season 5 of BREAKING BAD

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 2nd, 2012 at 5:32 pm

Summer holds the promise of many delightful things: warm weather, vacations, everyone’s favorite Southern supernatural soap opera and the return of AMC’s Breaking Bad.  Vince Gilligan’s creation about a chemistry teacher and a drug dealer who team up to cook meth is about to enter its fifth season. Season four ended with a bang of both the literal and metaphorical variety and I cannot wait to see where the next season takes us.  While there’s not much to go on from this video, stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul do delight in teasing us with what we can expect in season five.  We do know that the final season will be broken in half and Cranston leaked some details about the premiere (beware spoilers).  Breaking Bad, also starring Anna Gun, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Bob Odenkirk and Jonathan Banks returns to AMC this July.  Hit the jump to watch the teaser.

Bryan Cranston Says Final Season of BREAKING BAD Will Be Broken in Half; Reveals New Details on Season Premiere

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 6th, 2012 at 10:42 am

Last August, we reported that Breaking Bad has been picked up for a 16-episode final season.  Since the last three seasons have been 13 episodes each, and AMC would like to keep the Golden Goose going, there was speculation that the last season of TV’s best drama would be cut in half.  Today, Bryan Cranston has pretty much confirmed that’s what will happen.

Hit the jump for more including details on where the new season will pick up [Spoilers for those who haven't seen the finale of season four].

Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale Talk TOTAL RECALL Characters Plus Behind-the-Scenes Footage in this Featurette

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 3rd, 2012 at 4:52 pm

The first trailer for Len Wiseman’s (Underworld) reboot of Total Recall dropped earlier this week, but now we have a look at some behind-the-scenes action as well as a bit of character information from the stars themselves. In this featurette, Colin Farrell, Jessica Biel and Kate Beckinsale talk about their respective characters as well as their experience during the shoot. Total Recall follows Douglas Quaid (Farrell) who uses the company, Rekall, to implant memories of life as a secret agent into his otherwise dull existence. The plan apparently backfires as his beautiful wife (Beckinsale) then tries to kill Quaid, who then teams up with a (beautiful) rebel fighter (Biel). Total Recall, also starring Billy Nighy, Bryan Cranston and John Cho opens August 3rd. Hit the jump to see the featurette.

New Trailer for ROCK OF AGES Features Tom Cruise Singing Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive”

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: April 2nd, 2012 at 6:31 pm

If the first trailer for director Adam Shankman’s Rock of Ages didn’t blow your denim miniskirt up, perhaps this new one will.  The Hairspray director leads this feature film adaptation of the Broadway musical by the same name. Centering on a small town girl (Julianne Hough) who falls in love with an all-star rocker (Tom Cruise), Rock of Ages will feature 1980s hits by such classic bands as Journey, Foreigner, Styx, and REO Speedwagon.  This particular trailer ends on a high note of sorts with Cruise rocking out to Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive.” Rock of Ages, also starring Diego Boneta, Alec Baldwin, Russell Brand, Malin Akerman, Bryan Cranston, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Mary J. Blige, opens June 15th.  Hit the jump to check out the new trailer.

First Trailer for TOTAL RECALL Starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: April 1st, 2012 at 2:13 pm

As promised, the first trailer for the Total Recall remake premiered this afternoon during the Celtics-Heat game and promptly found its way online.  The clip gets across the basic premise.  Douglas Quaid (Colin Farrell) turns to benevolent company Rekall to turn his dreams of being a super spy into real memories: “But when the procedure goes horribly wrong, Quaid becomes a hunted man.”  The real emphasis is on the action, and until seeing this trailer, I didn’t understand just how big a blockbuster Total Recall wants to be.  As a devoted fan of trippy sci-fi, here’s hoping director Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) pulled it off.

Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, Bill Nighy, and a platinum blonde John Cho also star.  Total Recall opens on August 3.  Watch the trailer after the jump.

Bryan Cranston Talks BREAKING BAD Season 5, Directing an Episode of MODERN FAMILY, and More

by Christina Radish    Posted: March 23rd, 2012 at 10:00 am

On March 21^st, Collider was invited along with a handful of other outlets to the set of the new CBS Films comedy Get A Job, directed by Dylan Kidd (Rodger Dodger) and following four recent college graduates (played by Miles Teller, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Brandon T. Jackson and Nicholas Braun) who discover that their lofty expectations and the realities of adulthood are two very different things.

While we’ll post what he had to say about making that film closer to its release, which is expected to be sometime next year, we did want to share what actor Bryan Cranston (who plays Miles Teller’s dad) had to say about returning to the set of the highly acclaimed AMC drama series Breaking Bad, which kicks off filming for its fifth season on March 26^th, his plans to direct again, and how happy he is that director Rian Johnson will be returning for an episode. He also talked about the episode he just directed of the ABC comedy Modern Family and what it’s like to be a guest director.  Check out what he had to say after the jump.

New Trailer and Poster for MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 20th, 2012 at 10:11 am

A new trailer and poster for Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted have gone online.  The Madagascar movies aren’t going to redefine animation or family films, but I still giggled thoughtout this trailer.  I found the first movie surprisingly enjoyable, but the sequel was a letdown.  Judging by the trailer, Europe’s Most Wanted looks like a bit of silly fun, and I’m absolutely fine with that.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer and check out the poster. The film features the voices of Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, Chris Rock, Jada Pinkett Smith, Sacha Baron Cohen, Frances McDormand, Bryan Cranston, Jessica Chastain and Martin Short. Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted opens on June 8th.

JOHN CARTER Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: March 8th, 2012 at 4:09 pm

There’s a special place in my heart for big, bold adventure movies like John Carter.  In an age where detached irony seems to permeate every recess of our lives, John Carter throws out names like “Zodongan”, “Therns”, “Tharks”, and “Barsoom” and doesn’t blink an eye.  This is the world of John Carter and co-writer/director Andrew Stanton mostly lets the world open up at its own pace.  The conflicts are laid out cleanly, the lead characters are compelling, and eventually you’re not wondering about the difference between Zodongans and Heliumites and how a guy from 19th-century Earth was drawn into their conflict.  You’re too enraptured by the majesty of the red planet.  You’re also too busy laughing at the good-natured humor and being sucked into the exhilarating action.

Watch a 10 Minute Clip from JOHN CARTER

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: March 4th, 2012 at 12:32 pm

John Carter delivers on the epic sci-fi/fantasy adventure that it’s promising.  But the nicest surprise for me was the humor that writer/director Andrew Stanton (Wall-E) layers throughout.  Disney has posted 10 minutes from the beginning of the movie, before John Carter (Taylor Kitsch) is transported to Mars.  The clip establishes the main character and sets up the rest of the film through the eyes of a fictionalized version of a young Edgar Rice Burroughs (Daryl Sabara).  But I recommend watching it to get a sense of just how funny the movie can be, here exemplified by a neat comic set piece created through editing.

Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Polly Walker, Thomas Haden Church, and Willem Dafoe also star in John Carter, which opens in IMAX and 3D on March 9th.  Watch the clip after the jump.

Final Trailer for JOHN CARTER

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 28th, 2012 at 10:07 am

I’ve heard good things about John Carter from people who have seen it, but sadly the film’s marketing has been a mess.  A recent featurette finally showed off the film’s scope and so does the final trailer.  But none of the trailers (except one that was fan-made, and far better than any of Disney’s trailers) took a single moment to explain who John Carter is, how he got to Mars, and why he has special powers.  Does any audience member who is unfamiliar with the source material, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel A Princess of Mars, know anything about the character beyond “Shirtless Dude Who Fights Weird Creatures”?  The movie is titled “John Carter” and Disney never took the time to tell us anything about him.

Hit the jump to check out the final trailer.  The film stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins, Samantha Morton, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds, Dominic West, James Purefoy, Daryl Sabara, Polly Walker, Bryan Cranston, Thomas Haden Church, and Willem Dafoe.  John Carter opens in IMAX and 3D on March 9th.

Jimmy Kimmel Live’s Star-Studded 9-Minute Trailer for MOVIE: THE MOVIE

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 27th, 2012 at 7:47 am

Like it does every year, Jimmy Kimmel Live followed the Oscars with a bit that packed in every Hollywood actor they could find.  This year, they poked fun at epic movies by creating Movie: The Movie and throwing in every genre possible.  Of course, the premise of trying to sell a movie by overloading it with famous faces is absolutely ridiculous.  Still, it’s an amusing way to try to start your Monday.

Hit the jump to check out the 9-minute trailer.  The fake film’s cast includes George Clooney, Charlize Theron, Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Alba, Emily Blunt, John Krasinski, and Bryan Cranston as the world’s unluckiest hot dog vendor. Movie: The Movie opens Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer 2012.

New Posters for MEN IN BLACK 3 and BATTLESHIP with a New Mondo IMAX Poster for JOHN CARTER

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 21st, 2012 at 11:32 pm

We have three new posters from three big movies for you today. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I’ll be brief and let the artwork speak for itself:

• First up is a new poster for Men in Black 3 featuring Josh Brolin, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. The film, by director Barry Sonnenfeld, opens in 3D on May 25^th.
• Next is an up-close-and-personal look at star Taylor Kitsch in his second of three 2012 releases, Battleship. Also starring Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna, Battleship opens May 18^th.
• Saving the best for last is the Mondo poster that is supposedly being given away at special IMAX screenings of John Carter. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Willem Dafoe, Mark Strong, Ciaran Hinds and Bryan Cranston, John Carter opens March 9^th.

Director Dylan Kidd Eyes Miles Teller, Anna Kendrick, Bryan Cranston, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Jay Pharaoh, and Jesse Eisenberg for GET A JOB

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 21st, 2012 at 5:40 pm

Director Dylan Kidd (Roger Dodger) is attached to direct Get a Job for CBS Films, and he’s setting up a very nice cast.  Miles Teller is in negotiations to star.  Offers are out to Anna Kendrick and Bryan Cranston.  Christopher Mintz-Plasse and SNL‘s Jay Pharaoh are also in talks; Kidd’s Rodger Dodger star Jesse Eisenberg is looking to take on a cameo in the comedy.  According to Variety, the script by Kyle Pennekamp and Scott Turpel follows “a college graduate and his friends who have to lower their expectations about life as they enter the real world during a recession.” Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher (Extraordinary Measure) are producing.

After a critically acclaimed turn in Rabbit Hole and a scene-stealing supporting role in Footloose, Teller is poised for… well, an Eisenberg-level breakout.  He has two films coming up in 2012—Project X and 21 and Over—that could connect with young audiences.  Plus, acting opposite Kendrick and Cranston always looks good on a resume.  I also hope this is the first of many times we see Pharaoh pop up outside of Saturday Night Live, since the sketch show doesn’t seem to know what to do with him.

Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston, and Martin Short Join MADAGASCAR 3; Shirley MacLaine Is Ben Stiller’s Mom in WALTER MITTY

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 13th, 2012 at 11:46 am

We’ve got a couple of casting stories to bring you this afternoon. First up, Jessica Chastain, Bryan Cranston, and Martin Short have been added to the voice cast of DreamWorks Animation’s Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. It’s a curious bit of news, as the film hits theaters in a matter of months and a full trailer has already been released, but I’m assuming the three are up for minor roles. Heat Vision’s report doesn’t specify what characters Chastain, Cranston, and Short will be lending their voices to, but Ben Stiller, Chris Rock, David Schwimmer, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Sacha Baron Cohen are all reprising their roles from the first two films.

The plot finds the zoo animals yet again trying to make their way back to New York City, but this time they find themselves on the wrong side of the law in Europe. Frances McDormand voices the villain in the pic, which hits theaters June 8th. Hit the jump for casting news regarding Ben Stiller’s directorial project The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
