Universal has released the first clip from Paul Feig‘s new comedy, The Heat. The film is a standard buddy-cop formula where a straight-laced cop (Sandra Bullock) is teamed up with a shoot-from-the-hip partner (Melissa McCarthy), and they learn to overcome their differences and become BFFs on their mission to bring down the bad guys. The plot is secondary to the chemistry, and judging by the trailer, Bullock and McCarthy look like they’re going to be a great comic duo. Most of the new clip is material that’s already been in the trailer, so there’s no need to worry about spoilers.
Hit the jump to check out the clip. The Heat opens June 28th.

If I had to bet on a sleeper hit this summer, I’d put my money on The To Do List. A sex comedy with an outstanding cast can really do well at the end of the summer (e.g. Superbad), and other than This Is the End, it’s hard to find a better group of comic actors in a movie this year. The film stars Aubrey Plaza as a sexually inexperienced teenager with a type-A personality who decides to engage in numerous sex acts before she goes to college. This clip highlights the benefits of drinking pineapple juice in order to improve the taste of semen. In a missed opportunity, Dole did not provide product placement.
Hit the jump to check out the clip and a few images. The terrific cast also includes Donald Glover, Rachel Bilson, Bill Hader, Andy Samberg, Alia Shawkat, Mae Whitman, Johnny Simmons, Connie Britton, Clark Gregg, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Scott Porter. The To Do List opens August 16th.

The MTV Movie Awards isn’t just a phony awards show designed to gather celebrities in a room. It’s also a chance for studios to sell their big upcoming summer movies. There even used to be an award for the best movie of the summer even though those movies hadn’t been released yet. That category has been dropped, but the marketing remains, and MTV has announced that they’ll be premiering an exclusive extended scene from Iron Man 3. I think Marvel has already gone dangerously close to giving away too much of the picture, but if you can’t get enough of Tony Stark fighting his own suits of armor, you’ll probably want to tune in (or you could just wait until the show is over, and watch it when MTV.com posts it online).
Hit the jump to see a sneak peek at the extended scene. If you want to tune in to see the whole clip, the MTV Movie Awards air on Sunday at 9/8c. The show will also have footage from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Iron Man 3 opens in 3D on May 3rd.

Paramount Pictures has released the first two clips from director Michael Bay’s dark comedy Pain & Gain. The film is based on a true story and stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson as two bodybuilders who get caught up in an extortion ring and kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong. The first clip focuses more on the film’s humor than its flashy visuals, as we see Anthony Mackie’s bodybuilder character receiving questionable health care from a characteristically humorous Rebel Wilson. The second clip shows the three of them trying to kidnap someone.

A new clip from the directorial debut of Superbad and Pineapple Express scribes Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg has been released online. This Is the End stars Rogen, Jay Baruchel, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and many more as the actors play exaggerated versions of themselves that are trying to survive the end of the world. The majority of the story appears to take place in James Franco’s house, which serves as the group’s default bunker, and this new clip highlight’s Baruchel’s unwillingness to die at the actor’s house. The film still looks like it’s going to be a whole lot of fun, and if you somehow still need convincing I suggest you check out the hilarious red-band trailer that was recently released.

Marvel has released the first clip from Iron Man 3. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) has always had an odd relationship with the press, whether he’s sleeping with them asking them to sit down on the ground, or telling them he’s Iron Man. This time around, he uses the press to deliver a direct threat to the Mandarin (Ben Kingsley) with the promise of “good, old-fashioned revenge.” I assume it’s lawful to threaten someone with murder as long as that person is a known terrorist? I’ll have to check the Patriot Act.
Hit the jump to check out the clip. The film also stars Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Rebecca Hall, and Guy Pearce. Iron Man 3 opens in 3D on May 3rd.

Disney has released a new sneak peek at footage from its upcoming animated feature Planes. If you weren’t already aware that Planes was originally destined for a direct-to-DVD release, this new bit of footage should clue you in. From the incessant “rock” music to the cheesy dialogue, this one looks like it is aimed squarely at the kiddos and no one else. That being said, airplanes are indeed a bit like magic when you’re a child, so one assumes this one will be a hit with the younger crowd.

A new clip and poster from Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead remake are now available. The clip takes place inside the infamous cabin in the woods in which all of the vacationers appear to be safe and sound, except for Mia (Jane Levy) who is not quite herself it seems. It’s a bit spoilery, but for fans of the original, it also features a rather recognizable camera sequence.

A new clip from G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been released. In the upcoming sequel, the Joes are at war with the Cobra as well as the U.S. government, which is being led by an imposter President. It’s a slight embellishment to say that Jinx (Elodie Yung) and Snake Eyes (Ray Park) “fight” in this clip unless “fight” means Jinx swinging swords wildly at Snake Eyes and hoping to hit something. The blindfold doesn’t seem to be doing much good as a teaching tool.
Hit the jump to check out the clip. The film also stars Dwayne Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Byung-hun Lee, Adrianne Palicki, Jonathan Pryce, RZA, Ray Stevenson, Channing Tatum, and Bruce Willis. G.I. Joe: Retaliation opens in 3D on March 28th.

A new clip and trailer for director Fede Alvarez’s upcoming remake of Evil Dead have been released online. The clip is incredibly brief as it’s mostly just a bloody set-up for a jump scare, but the WonderCon Announcement Trailer features a few bits of new footage. The film premiered at SXSW last week to a mostly enthusiastic response, with our own Matt Goldberg calling it a “crowdpleaser” and a “gruesome feast” in his positive review. Though some seemed to be put off by Alvarez’s “fan-service” approach with the pic, the critics who caught the film all agreed on one thing: Evil Dead is very, very, very violent.

We’re happy to bring you this exclusive clip from Into the White, starring Rupert Grint, Florian Lukas and Lachlan Nieboer. The World War II-era picture paints a story of survival between a pair of English airmen and a group of German pilots who end up seeking shelter in the same Norwegian cabin when their respective planes are shot down. The clip does a nice job of setting up the tension between the groups while throwing in a dash of stalwart British humor.
Directed by Petter Næss, Into the White also stars David Kross and Stig-Henrik Hoff, and is now playing On Demand and opens in theaters April 12th. Hit the jump to watch the clip.
