It’s a teaser … for a trailer.

And yes, it’s only 17 seconds long, but for superhero fans starving for news about The Avengers, this short clip from Sunday’s Super Bowl trailer is a welcome morsel.

The clip (see it after the jump) was revealed after a Twitter live-chat today, with Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Hiddleston, Clark Gregg, and writer-director Joss Whedon providing a few A’s to their fans’ many Q’s.

The responses weren’t always so serious, but there was some good debunking (that rumor about Spider-Man being in the film…? False.) A little more news came out afterward: The Avengers will be remastered into IMAX 3-D for its May 4 debut. So prepare your eyeballs for that.

Behind every movie you love, there is a story about how it almost became something entirely different.

In Steven Spielberg’s recent EW Interview, he revealed plot changes and alternate casting that might have made some classic movies virtually unrecognizable. Everyone knows Tom Selleck was his first choice to play Indiana Jones, though Selleck couldn’t get released from his Magnum P.I. contract to film it.

There are many more lesser-known stories about similar switches. Click through to see how E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park, Hook, and even Jaws might look in an alternate Spielbergian universe…

His name is Jason Reitman. He is recreating The Princess Bride live on stage. Prepare to smile.

by
Tags: , , , ,

When it comes to sci-fi classics, Ridley Scott has a pretty impeccable record. Not only did he direct the fiery 1979 action-fest Alien, he helmed the genre-redefining Blade Runner in 1982.

So it’s understandable that anticipation is running high for Scott’s upcoming sci-fi return, Prometheus, a 3-D space thriller starring Charlize Theron, Michael Fassbender, and Noomi Rapace, which is set to hit theaters on June 8, 2012. Lucky for you, EW has the exclusive first look at the film! READ FULL STORY »

Okay, so The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1 gets a B-plus from moviegoers.

Really?

A B-plus ranking from CinemaScore? That’s it?

Granted, a B-plus isn’t terrible, but considering the passion and hysteria surrounding this franchise, it’s a bit of a surprise. New Moon got an A-minus, and Eclipse scored an A.

So what happened here? Did something in this film shake the vampire-loving faithful?

Actually, blame the boyfriends …

Avengers assemble!

And so they did. Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Cobie Smulders, Clark Gregg and Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige took the stage at New York Comic Con’s IGN Theater Saturday night to screen new footage from 2012’s The Avengers and geek out on all things super and heroic.

While the wildly enthusiastic crowd oohed and aahed over a clip of Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow recruiting a down-and-out Bruce Banner in an Indian slum (one guy yelled, “I want your baby, Scarlett!”), they were every bit as reactive when it came to the panel itself. Some highlights after the break: READ FULL STORY »

Okay, so this rules.

Then again, as Loki whispers in the first seconds of this trailer for The Avengers: “You were made to be ruled.”

There should be enough here to simultaneously satisfy fans who have been yearning for this movie ever since Samuel L. Jackson turned up at the end of 2008′s Iron Man to say, “You have become part of a bigger universe,” and made everybody angry that May 4, 2012 couldn’t come sooner. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry.

Let’s break down what we see in the trailer (embedded after the jump), and what we don’t. READ FULL STORY »

From 'Human Centipede 2' to 'Zombie Ass': Fantastic Fest organizer Tim League talks about this year's line-up

by
Tags: , , , , , , , , , , News

The still ongoing Toronto Film Festival may have boasted appearances from such cinematic luminaries as George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling. But is it screening a film called Zombie Ass? It is not! To see that movie — and world premieres of a host of other horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and/or action movies — you will need to travel to Austin, Tx., which from September 22 once again plays host to America’s largest genre movie film festival, Fantastic Fest.

EW spoke with Fantastic Fest director, and Alamo Drafthouse cinema co-founder, Tim League for the lowdown on the (at times NSFW) mayhem. READ FULL STORY »

Disney's D23 Expo: The sights and sounds -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , , , News

Comic geeks have Comic-Con, gamers have E3, and now Disney fans have their own personal mecca: the D23 Expo. Launched in 2009, D23 took 2010 off but came roaring back last weekend (Aug. 19-21) at the Anaheim Convention Center. Billed as “the ultimate Disney fan event,” D23 gave attendees an exclusive sneak peek at the company’s upcoming movies (including The Avengers and John Carter) and theme-park attractions. Also featured was the Treasures of the Walt Disney Archives, a museum that displayed costumes and props from such films and shows as Pirates of the Caribbean, Alice in Wonderland, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and Lost. And perhaps most alluring of all for Disney nuts was the Collectors Forum — a gigantic marketplace of Disney-themed merchandise from pricey paintings to vintage figurines to life-sized animatronic robots. If you wanted a Yahtzee game in which the dice cup has been replaced by the skull of Jack Skellington, D23 had it.

To help make sense of it all, EW talked to Steven Clark, Disney’s head of D23. Click through to hear his thoughts on this year’s event and to see footage from the Expo floor: READ FULL STORY »
