Final Fast & Furious 6 Trailer Up

Reaturing what is essentially a greatest hits (and crashes, punches, kicks, gun battles and quips) from earlier trailers, this final promo for the film is simply looking to get you pumped up for the movie. Chances are you’ll know by now that the film has Johnson’s Luke Hobbs tracking down Dom Toretto (Diesel) and the rest with an enticing offer: if they’ll help him take down a much more dangerous criminal gang (led by Luke Evans’ Owen Shaw), he’ll help them recover Letty Ortiz (Michelle Rodriguez), Dom’s former main squeeze, who he – and we – thought dead. Naturally, it won’t be that easy, as Shaw has a well-equipped team of experts pulling off daring heists including one on a military convoy. But our heroes have their usual blend of skills, charm and bond to put against the fresh threat. Especially since they’ll be pardoned for past crimes if they succeed.

Fast And Furious 6 is out on May 17. The seventh film is already being geared up under the direction of James Wan and Dwayne Johnson is hinting there may one day be a Luke Hobbs spin-off…
   


      

Exploring The Darkness With Todd Phillips On The Set Of The Hangover Part III

The first Hangover was pretty dark as it was, complete with drugs, kidnappings and violent gangsters, but director Todd Phillips took things even further with The Hangover Part II. Moving the setting from Las Vegas to Bangkok, while taking similar plot elements from the first movie and putting a new twist on them, the sequel amped up the shadier and more messed up aspects of the story, and there was a significant tonal change as a result. So, naturally, what was his plan while making Part III? Go even darker.As first revealed earlier today, late last year myself and a group of other journalists were invited to the set of the anticipated sequel and conclusion to the Hangover franchise, and during our stay the filmmaker was kind enough to take time from his schedule to talk with us about what we can expect from the new movie. Check out our interview below, in which Phillips talks about making The Hangover Part III an even darker story, concluding the story of Zach Galifianakis’ Alan, and really falling in love with your characters.People don’t want to say too much or give too much away, but what’s the story this time around?This story is basically… this is Alan's story, in a way. And it's funny, because I've read on the internet how people say it's about breaking Alan out of a mental institution, which I can honestly tell you it is not about. I don't know how that got started. I actually do know how it got started. Zach said that as a joke. And then people knew it was a joke, but then sometimes it gets re-translated and then it becomes the truth. It's not about that, but it is, in a weird way, Alan's story, and it is also a fitting finale to the story of all four guys - five guys counting Chow. It is a fitting end to the trilogy. Like, plot-wise, what it's about? It's not a hangover, it's not a missing night. There's no drinking in the movie, or excessive drinking, I should say. It just takes a totally different turn, and it catches the guys two years after the last movie and where they are in their lives. And it's kind of a movie about a crisis. Alan, his own personal crisis, is probably the best way to describe it. Best way of saying something without saying anything.You announced this was going to be the last one just before the second one came out. Is there any apprehension about wrapping things up?Well, outside of the fact that I love working with these guys and I think they like working with me, and we have a great crew that I've done… some of these guys I've worked with on eight movies. This is just a good unit we have going. That's the only apprehension. But I don't feel… I think maybe at the premiere or at the real press junket I'll feel a little sadness or apprehension, but right now I'm excited about it.There is an interesting tonal shift between the first movie and the second. Where does that go with this film?Well, much to the chagrin of some people, it goes darker, I think. Which I like. And that's always… all my movies, as I get the ability to do it, they tend to go a little darker, a little darker. Funnily enough, there's a line in this scene that we shot yesterday, which I turned to Dan Goldberg, my producing partner, and I said, "That's the tagline for the movie." Which is when Chow turns and he goes, [imitating Chow] "And then, everything went black." Everything Went Black is also the title of a Black Flag album, but it's also a great tagline for this movie in a weird way. Because "everything went black" makes you think, "Oh, is it another blackout?" No, no, no. It just got very dark.You seem to go all over the place with this. You're in the desert, you're in L.A., you're in Vegas. Were you guys on location for a lot of this stuff, too, or were you guys…A lot, yeah. Yeah, we were mostly on location. The movie's kind of winding down, so we always end up on stages to shoot interiors and things like that. We were in L.A., we were in Ti…well, not Tijuana, but something substituting for Tijuana. We're in Vegas, we're out in the middle of nowhere. It has a certain southwestern vibe to it. I mean, it's not a travel movie like the other two. They're moving because they're on the move, you know what I mean? It's not like a destination movie, so to speak.You don't need to go into any specifics, but in the past you've pushed boundaries in terms of rating and things we see. Is there anything you've been apprehensive about shooting or are anxious to shoot?I think we have a pretty epic opening to this movie. There's a little bit of a preamble opening and then we have a pretty epic open. But there's nothing I've been nervous about shooting for ratings reasons or pushing the boundaries. There's just, I think, some pretty epic things in this movie that we were really excited to shoot, some of which we've shot already and one thing that we haven't shot yet.You mentioned that with more freedom you've been able to go dark. Do you feel that with this trilogy, because it's been as successful as it is, that you've really been able to maximize on whatever you wanted to do?I feel like people stick with it, and I think it's a testament to the three actors more than anything. They're just such a believable group of friends that we can put them through whatever paces we want and people will go along for the ride. I do think that number two got a little bit darker than the first one and I think it was appropriate where we wanted to take it, and I think people went along for the ride. So with this one, it's not so much darkness for darkness' sake, it's like the stakes get amped up a little bit. So when the stakes get amped up, things tend to go a little darker. It gets a little more real in a way. Like "Oh, shit just got real" sort of thing. People die in this movie!We are hearing there's a lot of call-backs to the first one, some characters coming back.Yeah. Yeah, there's some call-backs. It's not a secret Heather Graham makes an appearance in the movie. Yeah, there are some people that reappear. What's fun about the movie is that it all kind of makes sense. None of the movies take place without the knowledge of the others. In other words, they all… the second one took place having gone through the experience of the first one. They referenced it, they talk about it. This is the same thing. And it kind of completes a circle, where people appear that you go, "Oh, that's who that was. Oh, I see." It's that kind of thing. Which is a fun thing for us to write and it was a fun thing to figure out.

The Bling Ring Trailer Shows Emma Watson Dancing, Smoking And Stealing

Emma Watson and her fellow Bling Ring stars are up to no good in the new trailer for the film, which shows a group of fame-obsessed teens tearing up the clubs and also helping themselves to the clothes, shoes, accessories and even a dog belonging to the rich and famous residents of Hollywood.Written and directed by Sofia Coppola, The Bling Ring stars Watson, Leslie Mann, Israel B roussard, Katie Chang, Taissa Farmiga and Gavin Rossdale, and is based on the true story of a bunch of teens who tracked the whereabouts of celebrities and used the information to rob their homes. We've seen the previously released clip and teaser, but the trailer, which comes courtesy of Yahoo, gives us our biggest look at the film yet, introducing us to Watson's character and her friends as they party like rock stars and eventually devise a plan to break into Paris Hilton's home. Cut to the amazing closet full of shoes and hats and other expensive items, theirs for the taking - or stealing. And that appears to be just the start of their shenanigans, which inevitably lead to legal troubles, and lots of press, as glimpsed in the later part of the trailer.It's great to see Watson taking on the role of a bad girl who appears to be up for partying and stealing and clearly enjoys the spotlight, even if it's coming from the press. It's a stark contrast from Watson's Harry Potter character, Hermione Granger, who probably wouldn't touch a cigarette and whose preference for bling didn't extend beyond the time turner she once wore for a time in order to attend extra classes.

These Thor: The Dark World Posters Are Pretty Impressive, So Why Can't You Own Them?

Well-known Mondo artist Olly Moss has blogged on his own site about a pretty special Marvel gig that came with a unique reward. The artist was commissioned by Marvel President Kevin Feige and producer Craig Kyle to create exclusive one-sheet posters as parting gifts for the cast of the upcoming Thor: The Dark World. In return, they paid Moss with his own movie-used Mjolnir. How cool is that? ScreenCrush got wind of the posters, which you can see both above and below.The bittersweetness of this all is that no matter how much you might love these prints, you’ll never be able to own them, despite Mondo’s frequent efforts to sell their exclusive works to die-hard movie fans. These pieces were created solely for the Thor cast, so unless you are Tom Hiddleston, Chris Hemsworth, Christopher Eccleston or Anthony Hopkins, this won’t be hanging in your den.Still, Thor fans have had plenty to celebrate this week, starting with the release of the fantastic first trailer for Thor: The Dark World, which gave us great insight to the threat posed by Malekith to Odin’s favorite son. The sequel looks like it’s ready to expand the scope of the Marvel Universe to its farthest bounds, and I believe it means that Marvel Phase Two is going to step up the game in ways even rabid fans can’t imagine.Thor: The Dark World will be in theaters on November 8th.

Sylvester Stallone Reveals Expendables 3 Director

It’s assumed we’re all in agreement that The Expendables 3 really just needs to shed all forms of seriousness in order to be completely enjoyable. The first movie fell flat when explosions and gunplay weren’t happening, and though the second one upped its self-awareness – thanks in part to director Simon West – it was still the product of a clumsy screenplay.And so what is the goofiest possible way to announce a director for a highly anticipated film? That’s right, a Twitter-based guessing game, courtesy of Sylvester Stallone. Press release, schmess release. Stallone has teased followers in the last few days with finding and meeting the potential director, and after a couple of clues, a fan correctly guessed it to be Patrick Hughes, the Australian director whose western thriller Red Hill was a nice entry in a seldom-utilized genre. Expendables 3 will be Hughes’ second film, which adds quite a bit of muscle and fire to his resume. But it also seems to put the action romp right back into more serious territory, assuming Stallone didn’t co-script this one with Judd Apatow or Bobcat Goldthwait.As far as the Twitter hints (Twints?), Stallone described Hughes as “an Aussie…Not Mel…He is NEW..the last film he did was more RED than BLUE…” And then he put a hat on his cat where it sat before giving a personal shout out to the correct guesser. Stallone then touted Hughes work, clearly excited to have fresh NEW talent behind the camera.“Rent RED HILL..Great Movie!! 500,000 budget 20 day shoot, Amazing – ROCKY was 850,000 and 25 days, Good OMEN!!!” is how Stallone put it.Beyond some talk about who might be in the film, this is the first major news about the sequel, so expect more to follow. Keep punching!!!

Chloe Moretz May Join Juliette Binoche In Obsession Drama Sils Maria

The only time I've ever heard of Sils-Maria was while reading about a house in Switzerland that the sunshiney German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche used to live in, but apparently the entire area is quite nice and a vacation home there would be pretty amazing. Does the name have anything to do with the upcoming film of the same name? Possibly. But this is a story about casting, not setting.The upcoming drama Sils Maria, which will be helmed by French director Olivier Assayas, is now in the process of adding busy actress Chloe Moretz, according to Deadline. Should she sign on, she'd join a cast that already features Juliette Binoche (Cosmopolis) and Mia Wasikowska (Stoker).In the film, Moretz would play JoAnn, an actress who takes on a role previously made famous by Binoche’s character as a youth, and soon becomes the elder actress’ obsession. It sounds like a fleshed-out B plot from Black Swan, with a lot less potential for wing growth.Moretz is having a killer career as of late – no pun intended – as she’ll soon be appearing in Jeff Wadlow’s highly-anticipated sequel Kick-Ass 2 as well as Kimberly Peirce’s questionable-but-promising remake of Stephen King’s Carrie, where she’ll play the tortured titular teen. Beyond that, she’s also joining Charlize Theron in the Dark Places novel adaptation; is signed on for Tim Robbins’ art scene dramedy Man Under; and is attached to Lynn Shelton’s dark comedy Laggies.
