As you count down the days until you can see, and hear, Johnny Depp singing in Sweeney Todd, here's a brief look at the beginning of the film.
It's not a major spoiler, don't worry. It's just a glimpse at the film's opening credits:
We hope you're sitting down for this piece of Reel Movie News:
The Jessica Simpson movie, Blonde Amibition, is being released straight to DVD. Said an insider:
"The movie is absolutely horrible. It's just a bomb, mainly because of Jessica's acting."
Here's some more casting news for next year's X-Files 2:
Callum Keith Rennie (pictured, from Case 39) and Adam Godley (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Elizabeth: The Golden Age) have signed on to co-star in the sequel.
The film is now shooting in Vancouver. Earlier this week, we showed you a David Duchovny and Amanda Peet picture from the set.
Australian actor Christian Clark is in talks to join Hugh Jackman for the spin-off X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Clark, who recently shot the George Miller-directed horror film Prey, is an in-demand actor right now; he's also just been snapped up to star in the indie-thriller Crush.
This young actor portrayed Will Grigg's on Australia's Neighbours.
In X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Jackman's Logan takes his search to a new level by learning the full truth of his origin, while also heading in a bold, new direction. The film will also star Live Schrieber as the hero's nemesis, William Stryker.
Steve Carell and Anne Hathaway star in next summer's Get Smart.
The comedy is based on the classic television show and could be the next Austin Powers-type franchise. Here's a photo from the film, along with a trailer for it:
Actors Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, who last worked together on Knocked Up, may team up again for the DreamWorks' comedy I Love You, Man.
Reportedly, Rudd has already signed on for the project, while Segel is in talks to appear in the film, which centers on a man about to get married who actively seeks out a male friend to be his best man for the wedding.
I Love You, Man is tentatively set to begin filming in March.
Take a closer look at the poster for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
If you study the bridge of the nose on the skull, you'll see what appears to be the face of an alien. This follow talk that creatures would actually play a role in the film.
Might those from outer-space join numerous Russians (one of whom is played by Cate Blanchett) as villains in the film?
Robert Pattinson has been cast as the male lead in the upcoming vampire thriller Twilight.
Harry Potter fans will recognize the young actor as Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
Pattinson "will play the role of Edward, a teenager who leads a double life as a vampire and becomes romantically involved with his nonvampire high school classmate Bella (Kristen Stewart)."
Sounds like an awkward paring to us. How will they date after midnight?
Diablo Cody.
Remember that name.
The screenwriter behind Juno has been receiving critical acclaim for her effort. You'll be hearing a lot from her in the future... and a bit right now. Here are excerpts from a recent interview:
ComingSoon.net: I just talked to [director Jason Reitman] and he says that he misses you when you don't do interviews together.
Diablo Cody: I miss him a lot, and in fact, I was complaining in the elevator because I thought we were going to be paired for all of this. We really enjoy that and I was really looking forward to spending a day with Jason and he's not here!
CS: I thought it would be a good idea but then I realized you talk as fast as I do, and he doesn't, so it might be strange.
Cody: (laughs) He's more deliberate actually, which is good. He's a good director for that reason. I'm a lot more manic.
CS: Did you already know about his first movie "Thank You for Smoking" when you found out he was going to direct your first script?
Cody: I didn't actually. I'd never seen "Thank You for Smoking" and I fibbed and told him that I had when we met, so he wouldn't think I was completely unprepared, which I always am. Eventually, after our third meeting, I finally thought, "You know what? The jig is up. I should probably see 'Thank You for Smoking.'" So I went back to my home in Minneapolis and my friends and I got together and we had a little party, and we rented "Thank You for Smoking" and I wanted to see what this guy could do, and he knocked my socks off.
I mean, what a fantastic movie, visually, in terms of the writing, the direction, the tone. I think Reitman is a master at establishing tone, and after I saw the movie, I felt so confident and so blessed. I called Jason and said, "Let's do this!"
CS: A lot of people talk about the dialogue in the script and how original it is. How was the collaboration when you started working with Jason, who as you said, is a writer himself?
Cody: He was very very respectful of the material, and yet at the same time, because he's a writer and a respected writer at that, I could take his suggestions very seriously, and I respected his opinion very much.
