Michael Cera is breaking our heart.

In a recent interview, the Juno and Superbad star was asked about the possibilities of an Arrested Development movie. And his response was far from encouraging:

You’ve been quoted saying that you didn’t think there would be much interest in an Arrested Development movie, but there are still constant rumors that it will get made. What’s the status now?
People have asked me about a movie since the show was cancelled, but I don’t know. I think people will ask about it for a long time. Whatever the case, nothing I say will dictate anything.

But if it does get made, will you be in it?
It would depend on a lot of things. It’s pretty hypothetical. I know there’s a page for the movie on IMDb, which is strange because I know it’s definitely not that real.

Anne Hathaway deserves all the praise she's receiving for Rachel Getting Married.

Don't worry if you catch yourself doing a double take and wondering: Is this really the same actress that starred in The Princess Diaries?!? The same, great reaction happened to us.

According to Variety director Michael Bay will film at least three action set pieces using IMAX cameras for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

But that won't be the only significant sequel to use such technology.

The publication also said that Jon Favreau has considered using IMAX cameras for shots in Iron Man 2.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opens June 26, 2009, while Iron Man 2 is on pace for a May 7, 2010 release.

Thanks to an incredible deal, we know that Tobey Maguire will be up to his old web-spinning ways in Spider-Man 4 (and Spider-Man 5).

Now, Kristen Dunst has confirmed to MTV that she'll be a part of this franchise's fourth installment.

“I’m in,” the actress said simply, not elaborating on any plot details for her character of Mary Jane.

Spider-Man 4 is set to be released in May 2011.

It's a great week for new DVD releases. Below, read about one of the highest-grossing movies of all-time, along with one of the funnier films of 2008...

We're less than a month away from the release of High School Musical 3: Senior Year.

Hence, the high-pitched screams you're likely hearing every night from teenagers in your neighborhood.

Here's a sneak peek at the wildly successful Disney franchise. The film opens on October 24. This is a music video from it, titled "A Night to Remember" and taking place as various characters prepare for the prom:

A pair of quite different epics hit theaters this fall. One centers on pre-World War II Australia, the other on a fantasy world created by graphic novel writer Frank Miller.

Here are trailers for Australia and The Spirit:

The Time Traveler's Wife may be a beloved best-seller, but Rachel McAdams recently told MTV that fans of the book need to prepare themselves for a different version on screen.

“It depends on how attached you get to books,” McAdams said in response to a question about how viewers will feel about the film version. “Because, you know, the films always change [things].”

McAdams stars in The Time Traveler's Wife, which opens on Christmas, opposite Eric Bana. She noted how difficult it can be to squish 400 pages into 90 minutes.

“This film really centers on the love story,” McAdams said of the choices director Robert Schwentke has taken with the film. “The book does as well, but the film is really distilled down to the love story.”

Blindness may not succeed on the deep, high-arching level that it aims for, but a great cast led by Julianne Moore make this a movie worth including on any list of upcoming worthwhile dramas.

The mere set-up - of a civilization that losts its sight, all except for one individual - is a hook that drew us in, while fans of director Fernando Meirelles' previous movie, City of God, won't be disappointed.
