Celeb Movie » New, NSFW Friends With Benefits Trailer: Watch Now!

NSFW Friends With Benefits Trailer

This is not the average teaser you see in theaters. In the "red band" version of the Friends With Benefits trailer, the language and visuals are ultra raunchy.

Between the partial nudity, Justin Timberlake going down on Mila Kunis and a couple of they-said-what?! lines from Emma Stone and Woody Harrelson, it's safe to say this is definitely not approved for all audiences by the MPAA!

The movie comes out tomorrow, and while it may not be an original concept, it does look pretty funny. Check out the (very NSFW) trailer here and see:

Celeb Gossip » Breaking Dawn Comic-Con Character Cards: Revealed!

Three Comic-Con "character cards" from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 have been unveiled in advance of the cast's appearance at the San Diego event, which kicks off today.

Bella (Kristen Stewart), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) are each featured on two-sided cards with mini-bios.

The biographical information for Bella contains the heroine's full, married name (Isabella Marie Swan Cullen) for the first time, and officially unveils her long-sought status her part of the “Cullen Coven.”

Her date of transformation? Still TBD.

The card also contains a quote: “Yeah, I’m ready.” Enough. Said.

For Bella's special abilities, it says, "Her mind is impenetrable; no one can read her thoughts unless she allows it." Psychic attacks? Useless. Don't even front.

On Edward's card, little is new but his own sappy quote: “I’ve been waiting a century to marry you, Miss Swan.” That's a long ass time. As for Jacob Black?

His group listing actually contains two names: the Quileute Wolf Pack (a.k.a. Sam’s group) and then The Black Pack, his own new pack, headed by himself.

Appropriately, Jacob's defiant quote is: “I am the grandson of a chief. I wasn’t born to follow you or anyone else.” Not the lone wolf you wanna mess with.

THG will be at Comic-Con throughout the next four days, where we hope to gain insight from these three stars in person. Check back with THG and its partners, TV Fanatic and Movie Fanatic, for updates from the convention!

 

 

Celeb MOVIE » New Image of Karl Urban's Chiseled Chin in 'Dredd'

In the last few years, instilling a legitimacy into comic book movies and adhering closer to the source material has become a more welcome practice in Hollywood. But do we really need to see a better, more faithful Judge Dredd movie? I'm going to go out on a limb: Yes.

DREDD has released its first image of Karl Urban in full costume (which, apparently, he never takes off throughout the film) as the title character. Will it surpass the quality of 1995's Judge Dredd? Almost definitely. Will it surpass the quality of anything else? Who knows.

Celeb MOVIE » Tom Cruise Confirmed as Hulking Hero in 'One Shot'

 Tom Cruise

As previously lamented, Tom Cruise will officially take on the role of Jack Reacher in the adaptation of Lee Child’s novel, One Shot. Going against odds, Cruise will play a 6-foot-5 renegade soldier so averse to consistency that he compulsively disposes of articles of clothing after a single use.

Writing the script and directing the project is Christopher McQuarrie, most notable for Valkyrie, in which he and Cruise took on Nazi-hunting in a particularly inauthentic manner. Luckily, One Shot won’t call for Cruise to take on a German accent—or to completely dismiss the need for one.

Celeb MOVIE » 'Harry Potter': In Memoriam

Family, friends, fanboys and followers: the Harry Potter series may have concluded with the mega-blockbuster Deathly Hallows — Part 2, but never will we forget the fallen heroes (and villains) that helped turn the franchise into a bona fide epic saga.

Today, we pay respect to those that didn't make it to the final credit sequence — whether it be at the hands of a Death Eater, from the bite of a nasty monster or the even more woeful off-screen death. Watch our tear-inducing "In Memoriam" video and tell us which Harry Potter death made you grab the nearest pack of tissues (for those who haven't seen the last movie, know that there are a few spoilers ahead):

And for those in need of an uplifting look back at the series, check out "Harry Potter Is My Star Wars." 

Celeb MOVIE » Christina Hendricks and 'Glee's' Chris Colfer Team Up Share

Christina Hendricks

Among the herd of television stars stampeding into the cast of Struck By Lightning is Christina Hendricks, officially confirmed to be involved. Hendricks’ notoriety comes from here empowered Joan Harris character on Mad Men, but her prevalence on the big screen is increasing by the minute—she already has Drive and I Don’t Know How She Does It in the can.

Harris’ character in Struck By Lightning is thus far uncomfirmed.

Struck By Lightning stars and was written by Glee’s Chris Colfer. Directing the film will be Brian Dannelly, who, like most of the cast (which, aside from Colfer and Hendricks, includes Angela Martin, Allie Grant and Sarah Hyland), comes from television: his directing credits include Weeds, The United States of Tara and Pushing Daisies.

Movies comprised of people primarily schooled in television tend to be especially creative and ambitious—the cast and team behind this film seem to be more than capable of developing an interesting, poignant and funny coming-of-age film.

Celeb MOVIE » ‘James Bond 23’ Adds Spider-Man's Newest Villain

Looks like the 23rd James Bond movie got a bit more “wiry.” Rhys Ifans has joined the already impressive cast that includes Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Judi Dench and Naomie Harris. Not to mention it has Sam Mendes directing and he recently announced that Patrick Marber (he of Closer fame) will write the script. We don’t know in what capacity Ifans joins the movie (except that he’ll be acting in it) but we do know it will be awesome. How could it not? He’ll answer the paparazzi at the door in his underwear, be a mad scientist that turns into a lizard, and he’ll make out with Daniel Craig. That should definitely come in handy when dealing with international espionage and shooting people.

While Bardem has been tapped for the bad guy in the film, I’m holding out hope that Ifans will be a fellow spy. In Craig’s turn as Bond we haven’t explored much of the other spies in MI6. Granted, that’s never really been explored in the Bond universe (save for the occasional 006) so that’d be interesting. Just don’t throw him in as the comic relief. Let the man act!

Celeb MOVIE » Noam Murro Directing '300' Sequel 'Battle of Artemisia’

Looks like the prequel for 300 is taking off and behind the directors chair is Noam Murro who’s last feature work was... Smart People? Oh, ok. But he’s also done some incredible commercial work, like these Halo: Reach ones and he's lined up to direct a fifth installment of Die Hard — so I guess handing over an incredibly graphics heavy feature film isn’t the dumbest move of the century.

The film is now titled 300: Battle of Artemisia (nixing the original, more awesome Xeres title) and will follow Xeres’ rise to self-proclaimed godhood. Why they’re calling the film 300 when it has nothing to do with the original 300 Spartans is beyond me (just kidding, it’s all about the branding!). And they’ll also be keeping the incredibly stylized visuals from the first movie, which, considering just about every other movie after 300 copied the same style, is no surprise.

Celeb MOVIE » ‘2084’ Coming To You Via ‘24’ Showrunner & ‘Final Destination’ Director/Writer

I like The Terminator. I like 1984. So why does a movie that basically combine the two of them sound so... sub par?

Howard Gordon, who ran the fairly awesome 24 (and worked on Buffy, Angel, and the X-Files) and James Wong, who directed/wrote Final Destination, have teamed up to bring us 2084, a transmedia project that will spawn a movie and young adult book series. The film will pretty much follow 1984 (as evidenced by the title), only there will be sentient robots ruling over humans instead of other humans. I would normally be down with this if it were just Gordon handling it, but Wong’s presence makes me weary. He directed Dragonball: Evolution. I think that speaks for itself.

Celeb MOVIE » Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 Review: A Triumphant End to an Epic Saga

 Intense Harry Potter Poster

It's safe to say that few films are greeted with the simultaneous feelings of elation and dread that surround Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2.

For 10 years, Harry, Ron, Hermione & Co. have touched millions of lives, maturing and gaining confidence as they transitioned from misfits to heroes.

In a sense, their journey has mirrored that of Harry Potter's fan base, for whom this is more than a film. Harry is a best friend, part of the fabric of life.

Sadly, as we celebrate its greatness, we must also let that friend go at last.

Our sister site, Movie Fanatic, was one of the first to see the final chapter. Despite almost unprecedented hype, it met our expectations and then some.

Celeb MOVIE » Another Earth Premiere: On the Red Carpet!

Another Earth premieres later this month, but our partners at Movie Fanatic got an early look and spoke with the cast of this acclaimed new film last week.

Director Mike Cahill produced, co-wrote, edited, and served as the cinematographer for the film, while Brit Marling starred, co-wrote and produced it as well.

The third piece of the puzzle was William Mapother (of Lost fame, and Tom Cruise's cousin) who forms the other half of the main duo in the sci-fi project.

Celeb MOVIE » Box Office: "Transformers 3" Trounces the Competition

After racing out to a powerful lead upon opening with over $37 million on Wednesday (June 29), "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" is the clear victor of the box office over the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

The Shia LaBeouf/Rosie Huntington Whiteley led action film quadrupled the next closest contender while trending towards an estimated $115 million four-day weekend take.

Situated in the runner-up position is the Disney/Pixar family film "Cars 2," which is on pace to garner a solid $30.5 million four-day weekend pull in its second week of release.

With the Cameron Diaz/Justin Timberlake comedy "Bad Teacher" sitting in third with $17 million, a disappointing opening for Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks' "Larry Crowne" placed the film in fourth at an approximate opening debut of $16,7 million over the Fourth of July weekend.

Rounding out the top five is Leighton Meester and Selena Gomez's romantic comedy "Monte Carlo" - with the PG rated picture set to earn $9 million over the four day weekend.

 

 

 

Celeb MOVIE » "Harry Potter & the Deathly Hallows Part 2": New Stills & Clips!

Releasing more and more material as the franchise closing film's release date nears, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2" continues to build up anticipation for the upcoming July 15th debut.

Most recently, the Daniel Radcliffe/Emma Watson featuring flick has put forth two new video clips.

In one of the offerings (see above), fans get a tease of the events which ensue as Harry, Hermione and Ron venture into Bellatrix Lestrange's vault at Gringotts.

The other (found below) is a featurette focusing on the various number of disguises the trio use in the much-anticipated Warner Bros. film.

Directed by David Yates, the "Deathly Hallows Part 2" synopsis via IMDB tells: "The final chapter begins as Harry, Ron, and Hermione continue their quest of finding and destroying the Dark Lord's three remaining Horcruxes, the magical items responsible for his immortality. But as the mystical Deathly Hallows are uncovered, and Voldemort finds out about their mission, the biggest battle begins and life as they know it will never be the same again."
