Oscilloscope has released the first trailer for Meek’s Cutoff, an indie western set in 1845, the earliest days of the Oregon Trail. Three families hire Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood) to lead them on a troubled journey over the Cascade Mountains. Michelle Williams, Will Patton, Zoe Kazan, Paul Dano, Shirley Henderson, Neal Huff, Tommy Nelson, and Rod Rondeauxn star alongside Greenwood, a character actor I’m excited to see in a lead role.
The trailer effectively invokes a quiet, moody atmosphere. I expect no less from director Kelly Reichardt (Wendy and Lucy). Watch the trailer after the break.

Michael Fassbender Says He's an Android in "Alien" Prequel
Posted: February 26th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
When Michael Fassbender (Inglourious Basterds) first joined the cast of Ridley Scott's upcoming "Alien" prequel, called "Prometheus," his character was described as an early version of Bishop 341-B android that Lance Henriksen played in "Aliens."
Since 20th Century Fox gave Scott permission to make an original sci-fi film, rather than an "Alien" prequel, there is no telling how the role has changed. So Entertainment Weekly went right to the source and asked Fassbender if he will play an android.
"I don't know what I can say," the actor said with a laugh. He then looked down at the tape-recorder and nodded affirmatively. "I don't want to get into trouble."
Regarding the film, he said: "It's a different story, but it's also got the traditional roots. 'Alien' fans will recognize things in it. It's not ignoring 'Alien,' there's still a link to that world. But it's a different story. It's definitely connected, though."

MTV caught up with Mark Ruffalo at Saturday's 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards and got an interesting response when they asked if the Hulk in The Avengers will look like the actor. Here is what he said, and you can also watch him say the quotes using the video player:
"It's cool, it's gonna be great. The script is a nice combination of funny and was very in Joss Whedon's wheelhouse. And I got to see the maquette of the Hulk yesterday in full scope and it's awesome. Just like me. We're going out of our way to... first of all, I'm the first actor to actually do it in motion capture as the Hulk. And so, all the features are mine, they're just really big."
