| Joe Massingill, Matthew Lillard Join Clint Eastwood & Amy Adams In ‘Trouble With The Curve’ Posted: 19 Jan 2012 08:00 PM PST  Talk about a way to jump start a career. With just a few TV credits to his name, The Wrap is reporting that actor Joe Massingill has joined the cast of the upcoming film, Trouble With The Curve, for WB. The film stars Clint Eastwood and Amy Adams, with Matthew Lillard also in talks to take a role in the project. [...]      |
| DC Entertainment Unveils All New Company Logo and Initiative Posted: 19 Jan 2012 07:00 PM PST  DC Entertainment has unveiled a brand new company logo and "identity" to grace the comics and collections of DC Comics, Vertigo, and Mad Magazine. DC's new logo features a "peel back" effect that is meant to give the impression of turning a page and opening yourself up to new entertainment. The D is represented by the first page and the C is placed underneath. To me, though, it comes off a little bit like peeling off a sticker which does not exactly convey the message that was intended.

| Cormac McCarthy Sells First Screenplay ‘The Counselor’ Posted: 19 Jan 2012 06:00 PM PST  You would have imagined that a writer with the stature of one Cormac McCarthy would have sold a handful of screenplays at this point in his career. However, until now, that was far from the case. The Wrap is reporting that McCarthy has sold his first script, a spec script entitled The Counselor. The script was picked up by Nick Wechsler and Steve and Paula Mae Schwartz, the producers behind the adaptation of McCarthy's The Road. [...]      |
| Watch Now: ‘Resident Evil: Retribution’ Teaser Trailer Posted: 19 Jan 2012 05:00 PM PST  Yahoo! has premiered the first teaser trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth (FIFTH!) entry in the successful video game-spawned franchise that started back in 2002. You can watch it here below. Paul W.S. Anderson, who directed the first and fourth of the Resident Evil movies (and also produced the second and third, not to mention writing all four features), returns to the directing chair for the third time.

| Chuck Norris Reveals ‘The Expendables 2′ Will Be Rated PG-13; Sylvester Stallone Confirms It Posted: 19 Jan 2012 04:07 PM PST  Not many people know this but Sylvester Stallone's 2010 brawny mercenary epic The Expendables was originally shot with the intention of getting a PG-13 rating. Fans of old school action the world over were disheartened but were willing to look past it just as long as Sly delivered the goods, and given the insane amount of heavyweight ass-kicking talent the star/director had assembled for the movie, there was no question he wouldn't. As the film approached its release date the decision was made to pump some more blood-soaked carnage digitally into the proceedings to get its rating up to an R, despite the nagging stigma that the box office appeal of R-rated action films was dropping off fast each year. [...]      |
| Watch Now: ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ Tokyo Press Conference Posted: 19 Jan 2012 03:00 PM PST  The global press tour for Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures' The Amazing Spider-Man kicked off yesterday with a press conference in Tokyo, Japan, the first territory the movie will open in this summer. In attendance were stars Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone and producers Avi Arad and Matthew Tolmach. Director Marc Webb must still be deep into post-production for the much-anticipated superhero reboot. A lot of details regarding the film's plot and character relationships were discussed without spoiling anything major. You can watch the full 53-minute video here below. [...]      |
| Liv Tyler Joins Ti West’s ‘The Side Effect’ Posted: 19 Jan 2012 01:37 PM PST  With this year's Sundance Film Festival bringing the newest film from director Ti West, a found footage film he co-directed entitled V/H/S, Deadline has the scoop on who will be joining him for his next project. The outlet is reporting that Liv Tyler has joined the upcoming project, The Side Effect. The film will follow a woman who becomes part of a pharmaceutical company's strange experiment that will see her spending several months in space. While there, she somehow becomes pregnant and begins losing her grasp on reality as she tries to figure out how this could happen and how to get out of this astronomical prison she's stuck in.

| Wait, What? ‘Silent Hill’ Took Place At ‘Kindergarten Cop’ School? Posted: 19 Jan 2012 12:00 PM PST  Clicking this it was assumed that it would be a waste of time...and it still very well might be, if it turns out to be bogus somehow. But at first glance, a slew of comparison pictures seems to indicate that the school in the hit 1999 survival horror video game Silent Hill was in fact the very same school Arnold Schwarzenegger found himself teaching kindergarten at in the 1990 flick, Kindergarten Cop. [...]      |
| Director Peter Berg Says ‘Hancock 2′ Can Happen With Will Smith, If There’s Time Posted: 19 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST  While getting ready for his board game-to-movie action blockbuster Battleship to hit theaters on May 18, 2012, director Peter Berg (The Rundown, The Kingdom) offered up an update on the possibility of a Hancock 2 happening. Berg basically said that everyone involved, including star Will Smith, wanted the movie to happen, and that it was just a matter of finding the time when everyone could actually do it. [...]      |
| Patrick Sean Smith To Adapt Jeff Smith Comic ‘Bone’ For Warner Bros.; P.J. Hogan Directing Posted: 19 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST  Back in 2008, Warner Brothers secured the rights to turn the popular Jeff Smith comic book, Bone, into a movie. Now things are beginning to move forward with the news that Patrick Sean Smith has been hired to write the adaptation, and P.J. Hogan has been hired to direct. Smith is the creator of the ABC Family series Greek, and also acted as a writer and producer on it. He's also written episodes of Everwood and Supernatural. Hogan directed Muriel's Wedding, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Confessions of a Shopaholic, as well as wrote and directed the 2003 live-action Peter Pan. [...]      |
| The ‘Community’ Board Game Can Help You Find Your Path To A Brighter Future Posted: 19 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST  Community is coming back, folks. It will happen some day soon.

You can check out the game board below and you can download and print a much larger version of the board---which comes with cut-out game pieces depicting the seven members of Greendale's most diverse (and screwed up) study group---at the US Direct source link below.

| Watch Now: The Live-Action ‘Rugrats’ Movie That Will Haunt Your Dreams Posted: 19 Jan 2012 08:00 AM PST  I'm not even quite sure what to say about this one, so I'll just let you go ahead and be the judges. Funny or Die has created a trailer for a live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats that promises to be "the most disturbing movie ever made," and the trailer certainly implies that it could be just that. You can see the video by clicking on over to the other side now! [...]      |
| Posted: 19 Jan 2012 07:00 AM PST  Sanctuary By Stephen Coughlin Slave Labor Graphics Release Date: Available Now Cover Price: $.99 Stephen Coughlin's Sanctuary is a really nice change of pace from any comic that's out there today. Not quite sure where you'd categorize this, and I get the feeling that's what the writers are going for, so I won't even try to. Although the comic features talking animals, make no mistake, this is NOT a kids book and nothing along the vain of Captain Carrot or Spider-Ham. I feel bad even making those comparisons. Billed as "part Lost, part Island of Dr. Moreau" that wasn't quite the feeling that I got out of it, having the bite of neither of these things. Yes, there's mystery, but that's really where it ends. The story is a little slow to begin, but once it gets going, it's decent [...]      |
