After Iron Man and The Hangover, Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis are two of the hottest names in Hollywood, so it's no shock that Warner Brothers have recruited the two to star opposite each other in Due Date.

The buddy comedy will have Downey playing an expectant father on a road trip with a mismatched partner (Galifianakis), as they race to get to the birth of his first child.

Production is set to begin this fall.

While World's Greatest Dad, the dark independent comedy starring Robin Williams, isn't due out in theaters until August 21st, the movie is already out to watch via video on demand.

The comedy is about a writer who never made it and was forced to settle as a high school poetry teacher with an ungrateful son.  All that, however, has the potential to change after a freak accident.

Watch the trailer now and then give the movie a watch if you like, or wait for it and its limited theatrical release.  Either way, it looks funny!

Whether you're looking for mediocre romantic comedies or horror films, this weekend has it all for you. 

We can't imagine any of these movies are going to lure audiences away from Harry Potter, but if you're desperate here's a closer look at what's coming out.

The Ugly Truth
Stars: Katherine Heigl, Gerard Butler
Quick Synopsis: A romantically-challenged morning show producer faces a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent
Prediction: God we hope there's no way this does well

Orphan
Stars: Vera Farmiga, Peter Sarsgaard
Quick Synopsis: A husband and wife who lost their baby adopt a 9-year-old girl who turns out to be evil
Prediction: Audiences may be desperate enough for a horror film for this to do well

G-Force
No, we're not going to waste the keystrokes.  Sorry if you have to suffer through it with your kids.

A Perfect Getaway is due out in theaters in just two short weeks, and we got our hands on three stills from the upcoming thriller thanks to Coming Soon.

The film stars Timothy Olyphant and Milla Jovovich, who looks quite sexy in this role.  Click to enlarge any of the following stills.

Quentin Tarantino's WWII film, Inglorious Basterds, may not be the most historically accurate film about the war, but it sure looks like it's going to be the most entertaining.

Wach the first full length trailer from this movie which just reeks of his style.  The movie is due out in theaters next month on August 21st, 2009.

We'll have a review for you guys just as quickly as we're luckily enough to screen it.

Just a week ago we got our first look at Jake Gyllenhaal in The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. 

Now thanks to Coming Soon, we have a first look at the film's villain, Nizam, played by the Academy Award-winning Ben Kingsley.

We gotta give it to Kingsley, he's looking pretty good at 65 and we trust no actor more with the big screen adaptation of one of our favorite video games of all time.

In possibly the best move the Tron sequel has done since securing Jeff Bridges, the powers that be have renamed the movie from the horribly titled Tr2n to Tron Legacy.

We were gonna see it either way, but man this sure makes it way easier to talk about!  I mean, how did you even pronounce Tr2n.  Think about it.

When it comes to imaginitive action sequences, nobody can beat the Wachowski Brothers.  Now the brothers are back with Ninja Assassin, their first foray into the martial arts genre, and it looks fantastic.

Wait till you get a load of the first official trailer released for the movie, where it shows off just some of the amazing action sequences.  Sorry Stephen Colbert, the movie stars Rain.

It looks like Mike Judge, creator of Office Space and Beavis & Butthead, has another hit on his hands with Extract.  And that's a good thing after the commercial failure Idiocracy.

In the following clip from the movie, Joel (Jason Bateman) meets his beautiful new temp (Mila Kunis), who is quite delighted to find out how loaded he is.

Meanwhile, our favorite part fromt he clip is seeing Ben Affleck like you've never seen him before.  Watch below.

You've already seen a few photos from Tim Burton's upcoming Alice in Wonderland.

But get the full experience below, courtesy of the movie's first theatrical trailer.

The film, based on the iconic fairly tale, comes out on March 5, 2010, stars Johnny Depp and looks fantastic.

Watch the preview after this article's jump and see what we mean.
