Watch Now: Teaser Trailer For ‘The Walking Dead’ Season 2

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 07:29 PM PDT



The first teaser trailer for season 2 of The Walking Dead has found its way to the 'net, and you can watch it here right now!

It looks as though the trailer may have leaked a little early (not that any of us are complaining), so be sure to watch it before it gets pulled! Even if that does happen, however, it's assumed that AMC will have this bad boy live on their site very soon.

Continue on below to check out the first teaser trailer for season 2 of The Walking Dead.

It feels like just yesterday that the shortened 6–episode first season of The Walking Dead ended in December and we were faced with a lengthy 11–month wait until season 2 arrived. Now we're only a few months away from the October premiere, and excitement is beginning to rebuild. [...]

‘The Illusionist’ Director Neil Burger Replaces David O. Russell On ‘Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune’

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 06:31 PM PDT



A new director has been chosen to bring the hit Naughty Dog video game, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, to life on the big screen.

Sony Pictures has entered into negotiations with Neil Burger to both write and direct the adaptation, which follows explorer Nathan Drake as he follows the clues left by his ancestor, Sir Francis Drake, toward a great (and dangerous) treasure.

Burger hasn't done a ton of movies so far, but he wrote and directed the enjoyable Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti film, The Illusionist, and The Lucky Ones, which starred Tim Robbins and Rachel McAdams. Most recently he directed the Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro thriller, Limitless, but did not pen the script for that movie.

Sony has high hopes of turning this into their own Indiana Jones–type franchise, which makes perfect sense as Drake is very much a modernized Indy, getting into plenty of life–threatening situations and spurting off countless one–liners as he seeks out long lost treasures and historical artifacts.

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 01:47 PM PDT

Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout with Taylor Lautner

Funny Or Die has released a new video called Field of Dreams 2: NFL Lockout, a spoofy sequel to the 1989 film Field of Dreams, which starred Kevin Costner an Iowa corn farmer who builds a baseball diamond in his fields with some surprising results.

In this amusing 3-minute sequel, Twilight heartthrob Taylor Lautner is an Iowa corn farmer who hears voices and interprets it as a message to build a football field in his fields. And as with the original, we know, if you build it they will come, and come they do as the NFL shows up!

Watch the video here below.

And be sure to stick around after the credits [...]

Legendary Pictures Bringing ‘Mass Effect’ Movie To Comic–Con

Posted: 07 Jul 2011 08:18 AM PDT



We all know how bad movies based on games tend to be (and vice versa), but there are some games out there that, if done correctly, could make some pretty fantastic movies.

One of the big ones that jumps to mind is the Mass Effect trilogy. One of the biggest game series to-date, the BioWare property takes the action–RPG to incredible places, making for an intense and compelling story and a truly must–play experience for any gamer out there.

A Mass Effect movie has been whispered about for a while now, dating back to around when Mass Effect 2 was being released where Casey Hudson was quoted saying "Obviously we have a tremendous amount of interest from people in Hollywood to make a major motion picture about Mass Effect. The most important thing for us is, we don't just want to see a movie get made. We want to see a great movie get made, if it's going to get done at all." That was followed by the news that Legendary Pictures had secured the rights to turn the game into a movie, but that was the last we heard about it...until now. [...]

Have You Seen The Surfing Trooper?

Surfing Trooper

Have You Seen The Surfing Trooper?

He's a stormtrooper on vacation from the Empire who's surfing around the world.

Visit Surfing Trooper to see photos of his travel adventures so far and be on the lookout for him in your area. You never know when and where he'll show up!

Chances are, he'll have a surfboard, but even when he doesn't, the pics are great, like this one -- probably my favorite one of his travels thus far -- where he goes to kick some hobbit ass in Hobbiton in New Zealand!!! [...]
