New Trailer for FINAL DESTINATION 5

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 7th, 2011

The new trailer for Final Destination 5 has gone online and as always, every thing can be boiled down to “Go to mundane location, bad things happen.”  The Final Destination franchise preys on our fears that we could die from a freak accident at any time.  I would love to see the Final Destination film where someone escapes the big accident at the beginning and then instead of the reaper getting him or her with a Rube Goldberg project of death, the person just dies from a long, protracted illness.  At least this one kind of raises an interesting moral quandary about whether or not you would kill an innocent person if it ensured your own survival.  And really, what would a Final Destination movie be without an arbitrary new rule that was never mentioned in the previous entries?
Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Final Destination 5 opens in 3D on August 12th. http://collider.com/final-destination-5-trailer-2/100882/

Neil Burger to Write and Direct UNCHARTED: DRAKE’S FORTUNE

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: July 7th, 2011

Neil Burger (Limitless) has signed on to write and direct the adaptation of the video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.  Burger replaces David O. Russell who left the project in May after Sony disagreed with O. Russell’s decision not to give fans exactly what they think they wanted (which, if it’s a straight adaptation of Drake’s Fortune, is just a video game they can’t play).  Variety reports that “producers Avi Arad, Ari Arad, Charles Roven and Alex Gartner sparked to [Burger's] new take on the pic.”

Marc Forster’s MACHINE GUN PREACHER Slated for September 23rd

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 7th, 2011

Relativity Media has picked up Marc Forster’s drama Machine Gun Preacher and will give the film a limited release on September 23rd.  The movie is based on the real-life story of Sam Childers (played by Gerard Butler), a former drug-dealer who eventually became a crusader for hundreds of refugee children in East Africa.  The film also stars Michelle Monaghan, Kathy Baker, and Michael Shannon.
Since it’s opening in limited release (most likely to build buzz for a possible awards run), it won’t really be competing against the movies opening in wide release, but here’s the list anyway: Abduction starring Taylor Lautner, the family film Dolphin Tale 3D, the action flick Killer Elite, and the sports drama Moneyball starring Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill.  Hit the jump for the press release from Relativity. http://collider.com/machine-gun-preacher-release-date/100875/

International Teaser Trailer for THE IRON LADY

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: July 7th, 2011

The international teaser trailer for the Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady has gone online.  Because Meryl Streep can be nominated for an Oscar for just about anything she does and because the Academy loves impersonations of historical figures within a dramatic context, I’d say Streep is looking pretty good for her 17th Oscar nomination (it also helps that she’s an incredible actress).  This is all a way to say that if The Iron Lady hits US theaters before the end of the year (and since it debuts in the UK in January 2012, it would probably be ready before year’s end), one of the Best Actress nominations will be taken.  Sorry, other actresses.
Hit the jump to check out teaser trailer.  The Iron Lady also stars Harry Lloyd, Jim Broadbent, Anthony Head, and Olivia Colman.

First Look at Nori, Ori, and Dori in Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: July 7th, 2011

The first part of Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit is a still over a year-and-a-half away, but Warner Bros. is showing no hesitation in letting fans get an early look at how the project is developing.  We’ve already seen the first images from the movie and now the studio have released a first look at dwarves Nori (Jed Brophy), Ori (Adam Brown), and Dori (Mark Hadlow).  Nori, Ori, and Dori are three of the thirteen dwarves that accompany Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman) “who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug.”  I like the design of the costumes and make-up.  It’s clear they’re trying to emphasize that not all dwarves look like Gimli.
Hit the jump to check out the image along with a brief bio on the brothers Nori, Ori, and Dori.  The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be released on December 14, 2012.  The Hobbit: There and Back Again will hit theaters on December 13, 2013.  Both movies will be in 3D. http://collider.com/hobbit-movie-image-nori-ori-dori/100724/

Jason Statham is Older Sam Witwicky in "Transformers 4"?Posted: July 7th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staf



Michael Bay and Shia LaBeouf are not returning for any more "Transformers" installments, which is why it was recently reported that Paramount Pictures are considering Jason Statham as the lead in "Transformers 4," which may be a reboot of the franchise.

But producer Don Murphy says that "Transformers 4" won't be a reboot. Instead, it may be a the beginning of a new trilogy. "What happens next? Certainly not a reboot," he explained. "We haven't lost the Transformers. They didn't grow up or become expensive like Toby Maguire. I don't know what happens next. I'm pretty sure there will be a second trilogy."

If the plan is to continue the franchise, there is a good chance Statham may play an older Sam Witwicky, the character LaBeouf has been playing in the last three films.

Summer Glau Wields A Sword In New Knights Of Badassdom Still

published: 2011-07-07 18:29:22 Author: Eric Eisenberg

Thanks to the film's presence at this year's Comic Con there should be plenty of news surrounding Knights of Badassdom coming in the next few weeks, but for now we haven't gotten an update from the film in a few months. Back at the start of the year the movie's official Facebook page delivered two awesome stills of star Peter Dinklage, with one featuring True Blood star Ryan Kwanten. The cast, however, is much larger than just those two names, and today we have our first shot of Summer Glau on set.

Brandishing a sword and standing what looks somewhat like a medieval fair ground, the former Firefly and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles star delivers high levels on the badass meter, just as the title of the film would suggest. Also starring Danny Pudi, Steve Zahn, Jimmi Simpson, Margarita Levieva, Joshua Malina and Michael Gladis, the film is about a group of live-action role players (known to many as LARPers) who suddenly find themselves in real danger when they accidentally summon a demon.

Teaser Poster for THE MUPPETS
by Kevin Panasiewicz Posted: May 14th, 2011 at 10:38 am


The first teaser poster for Disney’s The Muppets has popped up online, albeit as a blurry and off-center snapshot taken by a fan in Montreal, but that’s better than nothing right? It features the classic characters Gonzo (my personal favorite), Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and Animal walking out onto what appears to be a stage aglow with spotlights. It’s awesome to have the Muppet gang back, but this picture creeps me out. THEY’RE WALKING, as in with legs — it’s too much too soon. Hit the jump to see what the Muppets look like in all their anatomically correct glory.

Julie Andrews, Gemma Arterton, Matthew Goode, and Gabriel Byrne to Star in Agatha Christe Adaptation CROOKED HOUSE; Neil LaBute Will Direct
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 14th, 2011 at 10:29 am


Julie Andrews, Gemma Arterton, Matthew Goode, and Gabriel Byrne have signed on to star in an adaptation of the Agatha Christie novel Crooked House. In the murder mystery is set against “the backdrop of three generations of a family that lives together in a large and seemingly crooked house.” Every member of the eccentric family has motive to have killed the multimillionaire patriarch, Aristide Leonide. Neil LaBute (Death at a Funeral) will direct from a script by Julian Fellowes (The Tourist) and Tim Rose Price (The Serpent’s Kiss). The $20 million production is scheduled to shoot this summer in the U.K. The story calls for a large ensemble, so expect more casting notices in the near future. Andrews, Goode, and Byrne — and sure, let’s throw in the lovely Arterton — is a very good start.

Yvonne Strahovski Joins Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand in MY MOTHER’S CURSE
by Brendan Bettinger Posted: May 14th, 2011 at 9:55 am


Paramount has signed Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski to star opposite Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand in My Mother’s Curse. The story revolves around “an inventor (Rogen) who invites his mother (Streisand) on a cross-country trip as he tries to sell his new product while also reuniting her with a lost love.” According to THR, Strahovski will play the high school sweetheart that Rogen’s character once proposed to. Anne Fletcher (The Proposal) will direct from a script by Dan Fogelman (Tangled), based on his own experience traveling with Mrs. Fogelman.


NBC just renewed Chuck for a fifth and final season. If there is any justice, the careers of Strahovski and Zachary Levi will be sufficiently launched by the end of the series. The Aussie actress will make her Hollywood feature debut opposite Jason Statham, Robert De Niro, and Clive Owen in The Killer Elite.

Directed by Jesse Peretz (The Chateau), the film tells the story of a ne’er-do-well brother who successively barges into the lives of his three sisters.

The trailer hits all the right notes, with the pitch-perfect Rudd coming off as equal parts lovable and pathetic. The supporting cast looks fantastic as well.

Photos: "Captain America" Filming Secret Scene in Times Square

Posted: April 24th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Less than two months before release, director Joe Johnston took Samuel L Jackson and Chris Evans to shoot additional scenes for "Captain America: The First Avenger" at Times Square on Saturday. There were plenty of people in the area, which is why we now have a video and several photos from the set.

Judging by the photos, it seems that this is Marvel's post-credits scene in which Steve Rogers (Evans) travels from the 1940s to present day and is overwhelmed by the chaos of today's New York. Check everything out below.

Now that "The Avengers" are getting ready to begin filming on Monday, Evans is worried that he won't get the chance to star in films other than Captain America-related.

Evans explained: "That was a big concern when we agreed to do the film. I said look, 'If do this movie, I don't want to only be in a blue superhero outfit for the next ten years. That's just not creatively satisfying.'"

He confirmed that Marvel is already working on the "Captain America" sequel and "The Avengers" is getting ready to begin filming on Monday. "It's gonna be tough. I might not have a lot of downtime in my life," said Evans. "We did sign a six picture thing, so there's potentially three Captain America's and three Avengers."

Trailer: Paul Rudd's "Our Idiot Brother" Comedy

Posted: April 24th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have the trailer for "Our Idiot Brother" comedy, starring Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Emily Mortimer and Zooey Deschanel. It is directed by Jesse Peretz (The Ex) and is set to hit theaters on August 26th. Check out the trailer below.

Plot: Every family has one: the sibling who is always just a little bit behind the curve when it comes to getting his life together. For sisters Liz (Mortimer), Miranda (Banks) and Natalie (Deschanel), that person is their perennially upbeat brother Ned (Rudd), an erstwhile organic farmer whose willingness to rely on the honesty of mankind is a less-than-optimum strategy for a tidy, trouble-free existence.

Ned may be utterly lacking in common sense, but he is their brother and so, after his girlfriend dumps him and boots him off the farm, his sisters once again come to his rescue. As Liz, Emily and Natalie each take a turn at housing Ned, their brother's unfailing commitment to honesty creates more than a few messes in their comfortable routines. But as each of their lives begins to unravel, Ned's family comes to realize that maybe, in believing and trusting the people around him, Ned isn't such an idiot after all.

Posted: April 22nd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff


Today we have a photo of Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent as former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher her husband Denis in "The Iron Lady" biopic. Check out the photo below.

Plot: The film tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

"The film covers a big spectrum of her life in order to sum up the kind of person she was, and why she has this iconic status," said an executive producer.

"The Iron Lady" is directed by Phyllida Lloyd (Mamma Mia!) and co-stars Anthony Head. It has yet to secure US distribution, but is set to hit UK theaters on January 6th, 2012.

New Image from THE IRON LADY Starring Meryl Streep and Jim Broadbent

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 22nd, 2011

A new image from the Margaret Thatcher biopic The Iron Lady has gone online.  The film stars Meryl Streep (apparently gunning for Oscar nomination #15) as Thatcher and Jim Broadbent as Thatcher’s husband Denis.  The film also stars Alexandra Roach, Harry Lloyd, and Olivia Colman.  Footage from the film, which will show how Thatcher dominated Britain’s political landscape in her role as the country’s prime minister, is set to be screened for potential buyers at Cannes.  The movie currently has distribution in the UK, but presumably a U.S. distributor will pick it up at Cannes.  The real question is whether or not it will hit theaters next year or if it will be held for the 2012 Oscars.  As for folks in the UK, you’ll see the film on January 6, 2012.

Ralph Fiennes in Talks to Play Magwitch in Mike Newell’s GREAT EXPECTATIONS; BOND 23 Talks Still Ongoing

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: April 22nd, 2011

Ralph Fiennes is in talks to join Jeremy Irvine (War Horse) and Helena Bonham Carter in Mike Newell’s adaptation of Great Expectations.  Daily Mail reports that Fiennes is up for the role of the mysterious Magwitch, but also notes that Fiennes is currently set to play Prospero in Trevor Nunn’s version of The Tempest at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.  Because Newell plans to shoot in London starting in August, if Fiennes takes the role, he would have to shoot his scenes during the day and then do his stage performances in the evening.

As we reported back in February, Fiennes is also in talks to join Sam Mendes’ untitled James Bond flick and those negotiations are still ongoing.  He’ll next be seen in theaters this July playing some guy named “Voldemort” in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.  Hit the jump for a synopsis of Great Expectations.

HOUSE AT THE END OF THE STREET Starring Jennifer Lawrence Set for February 3, 2012

by Matt Goldberg   Posted: April 22nd, 2011

Relativity Media has set Mark Tonderai’s thriller House at the End of the Street for February 3, 2012.  The film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenager who moves into a new home with her mother (Elisabeth Shue), but then discovers that their home is next door to the site of a double murder. She makes friends with the massacre’s sole survivor (Max Thieriot). If it turns out he was the person responsible for the double murder, I’ll be very disappointed.

The only other film currently set for release on February 3, 2012 is Fox’s superhero drama Chronicle starring Dane DeHaan.  Presumably, the film will try to build off all the publicity Lawrence will be receiving in the lead-up to her starring role in The Hunger Games, which opens less than two months later. [Update: We've added the press release from Relativity after the jump.]

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 22nd, 2011

Oliver Stone’s Savages continues to round up an impressive cast even though Stone hasn’t made a good film in over a decade.  According to Variety, the latest talented actor to board the flick is Emile Hirsh.  There are currently no details on which role he’ll play, but he’ll be starring alongside Benecio Del Toro, Salma Hayek, Blake Lively, Taylor Kitsch, Aaron Johnson, John Travolta, and Uma Thurman.  The film is based on Don Winslow’s novel which centers a pair of marijuana growers (Kitsch and Johnson) who are forced to work in a Mexican cartel after their friend is kidnapped.  Stone is revising the script Winslow co-wrote with Shane Salerno.

Hirsch recently wrapped filming on William Friedkin’s dark comedy Killer Joe and he’s currently at work on The Motel Life alongside Stephen Dorff and Dakota Fanning.  Hit the jump to read the synopsis for Savages.

New SUPERMAN Henry Cavill Talks about Being Cast in Zack Snyder’s Upcoming Reboot

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 17th, 2011

The new issue of Entertainment Weekly goes inside Zack Snyder’s upcoming Superman re-launch.  But the cover of the issue belongs to new Supes, Henry Cavill, who spoke to EW about the film.  While the full interview has yet to go online, EW issued a brief tease with Cavill talking about his anxiety about putting on the suit and screen-testing for the coveted role:

“All I could think was: Oh, god. They’re going to look at me and go ‘He’s not Superman. Not a chance.’ The actor inside me was going: You’re not ready! You’re not ready!“

But Snyder was impressed:

“Other actors put that suit on, and it’s a joke, even if they’re great actors. Henry put it on, and he exuded this kind of crazy-calm confidence that just made me go ‘Wow.’ Okay: This was Superman.”

The film is slated to begin shooting later this year for a holiday 2012 release.  With the start date on the horizon, we should expect casting news of the other major roles in the near future.

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 17th, 2011

The guy or gal who was tasked with coming up with a tagline for the Insidious trailer didn’t do a very good job.  The trailer tries to play on the line “Insidious is Insidious” which makes the movie sound more like an Internet meme than a horror film.  Or maybe they just wanted to put the “taut” back into “tautology”.  Either way, the trailer then tries to pull a little twist by saying “Look!  It isn’t a haunted house movie!  It’s a haunted child movie!  You haven’t seen that before, have you?  Oh.  You have.  Well…crap.”

Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher -- FIRST LOOK

Scope out this first look of Meryl Streep as British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher from the upcoming biopic The Iron Lady. Uncanny!
“The prospect of exploring the swathe cut through history by this remarkable woman is a daunting and exciting challenge,” Meryl says. “I am trying to approach the role with as much zeal, fervor and attention to detail as the real Lady Thatcher possesses - I can only hope my stamina will begin to approach her own!”
The Iron Lady tells the compelling story of Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.

Julianne Moore Covers 'InStyle' March 2011

Julianne Moore wears Tom Ford as she graces the cover of InStyle magazine’s March 2011 issue, on newsstands on Friday (February 11).

Here’s what the 50-year-old Shelter actress had to share:

On when she feels sexy: “Oh, my. Well, I think you need to be away from your children [laughs]. Doing the mommy stuff does sort of squash that area of your life. I can feel that way when I’m alone with Bart or when we take a trip. But the day-to-day of picking up kids and going to the eye doctor and then dropping them off at basketball and then going to the middle school concert, that stuff doesn’t make you feel very sexy! That was my day yesterday.”

On what her 50th birthday means to her: “One thing a 50th birthday does is say, All right, time is marching. You have these things you’re happy with and proud of. But if there’s something you haven’t done that you’ve been waiting to do, then by all means, don’t want any longer. Do it!”

Gemma Ward: Heath Ledger Was One of a Kind

Gemma Ward graces the cover of the Daily Telegraph’s Sunday magazine.

Here’s what the 23-year-old Aussie model and actress had to share:

On meeting Heath Ledger in New York in 2007: “We were both struggling with things that I won’t get into and we bonded over that. At first I said, ‘Listen, my mum’s living with me right now and I’m going through a hard time. I’m not interested in having a serious relationship,’ and he said, ‘Let’s just be there for each other through these hard times.’ And we developed a relationship and started seeing each other.”

On her memories about Heath: “He was an incredible person, unlike anybody I’ve ever met – and will meet ever again. He was one of a kind and extremely sensitive, extremely open, extremely honest, extremely generous, extremely energetic. He had time for everybody, no matter who you were. He was such an amazing talent.”

On her character in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: “Tamara is the typical siren. And what I found interesting about the mermaids in this movie is that the producers stayed true to mermaid mythology. The original story of The Little Mermaid was very gruesome – a lot of these old fairytales are.”

On her career: “I wasn’t a child [when I started out]; I was a teenager. I wasn’t all that innocent, either. I wasn’t taken advantage of – I knew what I was doing. I feel very powerful in myself now. I’m happy with where I am and I’m excited for my life and excited to embrace all aspects of it. I’m definitely not [regretful]. I look back on everything I’ve done with pride.”

Anton Yelchin is set to star in the adaptation of Dean Koontz’ Odd Thomas.  Directed by Stephen Sommers (The Mummy), the book centers “Odd Thomas”, a young man who is able to see and partially communicate with the dead.  Thomas can speak to the ghosts but they can’t speak to him.  There have been four Odd Thomas books since 2003 plus a graphic novel prequel.  Bloody Disgusting doesn’t specify if Sommers’ adaptation will pull from all the novels or only from the first book.

Hit the jump for a synopsis of Odd Thomas.  Yelchin will next be seen in Jodie Foster’s The Beaver and in Craig Gillespie’s 3D remake of Fright Night.

First Look at Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2011

Back in June, we reported that Meryl Streep had signed on to play influential and controversial British Primer Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady.  We now have the first image of Streep as Thatcher and if you want to feel a cold chill run up your spine, I highly recommend checking it out.  The film, directed by Phyllida Law (Mamma Mia!), is set just before Thatcher took her country to war in the Falklands.  The Iron Lady also stars Jim Broadbent as Thatcher’s husband Denis, Anthony Head as her longest-serving cabinet member Geoffrey Howe, Richard E. Grant as conservative politician Michael Heseltine, and Roger Allam has political strategist Gordon Reece.

Hit the jump to check out the image.  The Iron Lady is due out later this year.

Dakota Fanning Signs on for GIRLS NIGHT OUT

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2011

Dakota Fanning has signed on to Girls Night Out.  The charming premise has Fanning playing the teenaged British Princess Margaret and going out on the town with her sister (and current Queen) Elizabeth on V.E. Day in 1945.  THR reports that Michael Hoffman (The Last Station) will direct after he finishes up work on the remake of Gambit starring Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz.  Trevor De Silva penned the script.

I’ve become a fan of Fanning now that she’s grown out of her precocious-child phase and into a mature actor.  Last October, Fanning was in talks to star in the drama If I Stay.  It’s also assumed that she’ll reprise her role as the evil vampire Jane in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

SEX AND THE CITY Prequel in the Works? Blake Lively to Play Young Carrie Bradshaw?

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2011

If you thought that the dismal response to Sex and the City 2 would kill the beast, you may have to think again.  MSN Australia’s blog Grazia [via /Film] reports that “studio bosses” are interested in adapting Candace Bushnell’s The Carrie Diaries, which centers on the teenage years of SATC protagonist Carrie Bradshaw.  Bushnell recently finished a second novel, Summer and the City, which follows 19-year-old Carrie from Connecticut to New York.  An insider says that there are no plans to bring back the original cast and that “the prequel is about breathing new life into the story and exploring Carrie’s first few months in NYC and the beginning of her relationship with an older man.”  Grazia also reports that Sex and the City producer Michael Patrick King has expressed interest in having Gossip Girl star Blake Lively play young Carrie.  Of course, none of this addresses the problems of Sex and the City 2, which made the characters come off like a bunch of shallow, entitled narcissists.
