'The Grey': Watch a clip of Liam Neeson from the upcoming survival flick! -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO

You’ve seen the multiple trailers — Liam Neeson and wolves not once, but twice! — and read our preview of the cold-weather survival flick The Grey that will storm theaters on Jan. 27. And you probably even read how Neeson actually replaced the much younger actor Bradley Cooper in the flick’s lead role of a security guy from an Alaskan oil rig who gets stranded after his plane goes down. But now, here’s a glimpse at a scene from the movie: EW is happy to premiere an exclusive, 35-second snippet from The Grey that finds a sage-y and grizzled Neeson fighting the cold and telling his compatriots how they should proceed to avoid the advances of the coming wolf pack. Yikes!

Before we leave you with the clip, though, we thought we’d share with you a pretty cool opportunity to win a chance to see an advance screening of The Grey in a city near you: To win a pair of passes, all you have to do is follow EW’s Twitter account @EW for details on how you can make those tickets yours! Interested or not, check out the exclusive clip of The Grey here:

The Wolfpack has conquered the tantalizing bacchanalia that is Las Vegas, and weathered the lethally exotic wilds of Bangkok. But for The Hangover Part III, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) could very well be braving the untamed nightlife of that den of outré iniquity…Los Angeles?

In a recent appearance on the UK chat show The Graham Norton Show, Cooper suggested that the third Hangover film would break from the wedding-bachelor-party-goes-too-far-and-the-guys-have-to-retrace-their-steps plot format of the first two films, and remain instead in the relatively familiar setting of the United States’ second biggest city. “We adhered to the formula in the second one,” Cooper said on the show.

The Hunger Games‘ Jennifer Lawrence would play an eccentric neighbor. (Deadline first reported this story.)

Think it’s impossible to make a comedy for just $1.8 million, get it into theatres, and still wind up with a financial disaster? Think again!!! It is almost exactly 10 years since writer-director David Wain did just that with Wet Hot American Summer, his camp movie spoof which starred co-writer Michael Showalter, Paul Rudd, Bradley Cooper, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Christopher Meloni, and Joe Lo Truglio, amongst many others.

To mark the 10th anniversary of the movie’s release — and to celebrate the film’s elevation to cult classic status — Wain, Showalter, and Black are hosting a special Wet Hot event tonight at the Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn, N.Y. The bad news? The event is sold out. The good? You can read the Camp Firewood reminiscences of Wain, Showalter, and Lo Truglio below.

Bradley Cooper might have the face of an angel, but he’s set to star as the devil himself in director Alex Proyas’ adaptation of John Milton’s Paradise Lost, according to a spokesperson for Legendary Pictures. The Associated Press previously reported that the film would be shot in Sydney, Australia and targeted for a 2013 release.

Milton’s Paradise Lost, an epic poem published in 1667, tells the story of a charismatic Lucifer, who leads a failed rebellion against God and is subsequently banished from heaven.

Elizabeth Banks talks stuffing her bra and slobbering over Paul Rudd for 'Wet Hot American Summer'

wet-hot-american-summer

Elizabeth Banks was a complete unknown when she was cast as “Lindsay” in the 2001 film Wet Hot American Summer. And she stayed that way for a while after, thanks to the dismal box office performance of David Wain’s camp comedy. But, over time, the movie’s growing cult would help Banks become one of the most in-demand actresses around.

To mark the tenth anniversary of Wet Hot American Summer, we spoke with the star of 40-Year-Old Virgin, Role Models, 30 Rock, and the forthcoming Hunger Games about her time at Camp Firewood.

To fans of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Christopher Meloni will always be obsessive New York detective Elliot Stabler. To fans of HBO’s Oz, the actor will always be sociopathic inmate Chris Keller. But to fans of Wet Hot American Summer, he will always be the d— cream-owning, sweaters-fondling, refrigerator-molesting, Vietnam vet and camp chef “Gene.”

To mark the 10th anniversary of director David Wain‘s cult comedy classic we spoke to Meloni about his days at Camp Firewood.

Now shut the f— up and eat the corn!

David Hyde Pierce talks 'Wet Hot American Summer' and his new thriller, 'The Perfect Host'

David-Hyde-Pierce

In the 2001 cult classic Wet Hot American Summer, David Hyde Pierce played Henry Newman, a professor of astrophysics — sorry, an associate professor of astrophysics — and probably the only character in the whole movie who didn’t smell of burger. To mark the 10th anniversary of David Wain’s crazed comedy, we spoke to the Frasier star about his rain-sodden days at the fictional Camp Firewood and also asked him about his new thriller, The Perfect Host.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you agree to appear in Wet Hot American Summer?
DAVID HYDE PIERCE: I’ll tell you the two reasons I took it. First, I read the script and I thought it was very funny. But I thought, this is only going to be funny if these guys know how to do it. Then they sent me some footage from their sketch comedy show, from The State, which had exactly the right tone, very much like the Pythons, doing completely demented things absolutely seriously.

Playing Niles on Frasier, you didn’t often get the opportunity to say lines like, “Oh, f— my c—!” Was that also part of the appeal? READ FULL STORY »

Amy Poehler remembers 'Wet Hot American Summer': 'The partying never ended'

Wet-Hot-American-Summer

Are you a fan of summer camp comedies that feature a talking can of mixed vegetables, a falling piece of SkyLab, and a tender but explicit sex scene starring Bradley Cooper and Michael Ian Black? Then you’ve probably seen Wet Hot American Summer (and if haven’t, then, boy, do we have a movie for you!).

Wet Hot grossed just $300,000 when it was released in the summer of 2001, but over time, its cult status has grown — as has the stature of its cast, which also includes Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler, Christopher Meloni, and Elizabeth Banks. To mark the 10th anniversary of director David Wain’s anarchic debut film, we’re running a series of Q&As with the movie’s stars. Today, it’s the turn of Poehler, who played Susie, Camp Firewood’s show director/choreographer. You can read her recollections below.

But, seriously, FYI, you guys, be prepared, be enthusiastic, and LEAVE YOUR BULLS— ATTITUDE AT THE DOOR!
