Plot details and brief X-Files 2 spoilers are starting to leak around the Internet.
For the most part, though, fans need to wait until this anticipated sequel hits theaters on July 25 to fully see just what truth is out there.
You'll have to make do with a couple more images from the movie in the meantime:
Remember the Daze is only playing in limited release, but it stars one of our favorite young actresses: Gossip Girl star Leighton Meester.
That was enough of a reason for us to include it on our site. Check out the Remember the Daze movie trailer now:
What should you go see this weekend? Which new movie will be a hit? Which ones will bomb worse than a film about the Iraq war?
Here's a look at the four main movies opening todayâ¦
Street Kings
Stars: Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker, Chris Evans, Common
Quick synopsis: A veteran LAPD officer is falsely accused of murdering a fellow officer.
Prediction: Unless Reeves is being hailed as "The One," movie goers don't care about him. Street Kings will perform like a jester.
Smart People
Stars: Sarah Jessica Parker, Dennis Quaid, Thomas Hayden Church, Ellen Page
Quick synopsis: A widowed professor is faced with a new love interest.
Prediction: Less than stellar reviews shouldn't stop a film with this solid of a cast from raking in the dough.
Prom Night
Stars: Brittany Snow
Quick synopsis: On the night of her senior prom, a student is stalked by a former teacher.
Prediction: Brittany Snow is hot. Horror is still in. Look for a decent box office haul.
It's a basic, time-tested movie equation:
Beautiful girl + Screaming + Torn apart clothing = Ch-ching!
With Brittany Snow and the film Prom Night fitting that description perfectly, we expect the horror flick to do well at the box office this week. But does that mean it's actually any good? Let's see what a few critics have to say about that...
- The new Prom Night is insistently lifeless, which I think is worse than simply being awful. At least awful has some personality to it...the defanged slasher movement once again lays a rotten egg. -- Brian Orndorf
- A snappy teen movie that's short and as sharp as the blade bloodied by its distinctively featured psychopathic killer. It's formulaic and there's nothing new, mind you, but it's well done and it is our imaginations that are encouraged to create the horror. -- Urban Cinefile
- Outside of a brief clip from Can't Hardly Wait, there is absolutely nothing in Prom Night that is even remotely scary. - eFilmCritic
- It's tough to be terrified by [Schaech's] absurdly methodical pursuit of Donna's friends, who he has no reason to kill besides maybe coveting their seats at the lunch table. -- Metromix.com
The details of Sex and the City: The Movie have been guarded closely. All we can say for certain about the film is that it's due in theaters on May 30.
However, director Michael Patrick King has told Entertainment Weekly that Fergie just recorded the film's opening sing.
"It's called âLabels & Love,'" he said. "It's an entirely new song with lyrics, but it has the Sex and the City theme as the DNA â" on steroids."
Moreover, since this is a film about mouthy divas, Jennifer Hudson (who plays Carrie's assistant), will lend her pipes to the ballad "All Dressed Up in Love." It was written by MC Jack Splash and Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo; it plays during the end credits.
"She sings it like nobody's business," said King.
Cinema Blend has published an interesting rumor regarding The Dark Knight.
According to that movie site, a scene has been deleted from the next Batman installment because it too closely reflects the unfortunate passing of star Heath Ledger.
Reportedly, the scene involves The Joker pretending to be dead, photographed in a body bag.
If this rumor is true, we think it's a mistake by producers. The Joker was Ledger's final performance. The best way to honor the actor is to showcase the role in its entirety. Don't panic and cater to overly sensitive, misguided, politically correct-minded people who can't differentiate between reality and fiction.
What do you think? Should The Dark Knight be edited down due to Ledger's death?
On May 16, the follow-up to The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe hits theaters. But what can fans expect from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian?
The good folks at Moviefone have actually come up with an in-depth Character Guide to help viewers get to know the film and the plot before it comes out. Before you head over to check it out, look over the following description of Glenstorm:
An honorable Centaur (is there any other kind?), Glenstorm is also an astronomer charged with watching the skies for portents. And he's good at his job.
Glenstorm knows what Caspian will try to achieve before he even attempts it. At the Narnian Council, the centaur encourages the old Narnians to trust in Caspian's commitment to bring freedom to all.
James Cameron's upcoming Avatar ranks as one of the most anticipated film projects in recent memory. The film will mark the Oscar winner's first narrative movie since Titanic, while also representing Cameron's long-held dream of melding digital 3-D stereo with epic big screen storytelling.
Below, the director discusses the project with Variety. You can read the full interview here.
We're seeing that audiences like 3-D and it's becoming a main driver for adoption of digital cinema systems in movie theaters. But speaking strictly as a storyteller and director, what does 3-D add to the creative side of a project?
I believe that Godard got it exactly backwards. Cinema is not truth 24 times a second, it is lies 24 times a second. Actors are pretending to be people they're not, in situations and settings which are completely illusory. Day for night, dry for wet, Vancouver for New York, potato shavings for snow.
The building is a thin-walled set, the sunlight is a xenon, and the traffic noise is supplied by the sound designers. It's all illusion, but the prize goes to those who make the fantasy the most real, the most visceral, the most involving. This sensation of truthfulness is vastly enhanced by the stereoscopic illusion. Especially in the types of films which have been my specialty to date, the fantasy experience is served best by a sense of detail and textural reality supporting the narrative moment by moment.
The characters, the dialogue, the production design, photography and visual effects must all strive to give the illusion that what you're seeing is really happening, no matter how improbable the situation might be if you stopped to think about it -- a time-traveling cyborg out to change history by killing a waitress, for example. When you see a scene in 3-D, that sense of reality is supercharged. The visual cortex is being cued, at a subliminal but pervasive level, that what is being seen is real.
All the films I've done previously could absolutely have benefited from 3-D. So creatively, I see 3-D as a natural extension of my cinematic craft.
A 3-D film immerses you in the scene, with a greatly enhanced sense of physical presence and participation. I believe that a functional-MRI study of brain activity would show that more neurons are actively engaged in processing a 3-D movie than the same film seen in 2-D. When most people think of 3-D films, they think first of the gimmick shots -- objects or characters flying, floating or poking out into the audience.
In fact, in a good stereo movie, these shots should be the exception rather than the rule. Watching a stereo movie is looking into an alternate reality through a window. It is intuitive to the film industry that this immersive quality is perfect for action, fantasy, and animation. What's less obvious is that the enhanced sense of presence and realism works in all types of scenes, even intimate dramatic moments.
Somehow, we doubt movie reviews for Forgetting Sarah Marshall will even make a difference as far as the box office haul for this comedy goes.
Considering its pedigree and advanced hype, expect huge numbers.
Still, for those interested, the reviews have been mostly positive. Here's a look at a few for the film that opens on April 18...
- Personally, I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard at the movies... Without revealing the scene (because that would spoil the fun), this one has a shock value moment that is on par with Ben Stiller's classic "Franks and Beans" scene from [Something About Mary]. -- Reelz Channel
- One of those can't-miss romantic comedies in that there's some sweet, sensitive, insightful stuff for the ladies -- but there's also plenty of raunchy comedy for the boys. -- Cinematical
- Producer Judd Apatow looks to have scored another long-legged hit with Forgetting Sarah Marshall. -- Variety
- Writing and starring in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Jason Segel gets emotionally naked. He bares his soul. Also, he lets us see his schlong. As Steve Martin said, comedy is not pretty. -- Kyle Smith
Robert Downey Jr. has a busy summer ahead. He'll be portraying Iron Man... and a black man.
We wonder which was the biggest challenge for this actor.
As previously reported, Downey stars in the Ben Stiller-directed comedy, Tropic Thunder. But it may be difficult to recognize. The following poster for the movie should give you an idea why:
