Box office report: 'The Avengers' crushes 'Battleship' and 'The Dictator' with $55.1 mil
15 hours ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Once again, it was all about The Avengers at the box office, as three new releases failed to even approach the Marvel superhero blockbuster’s third-weekend gross of $55.1 million, according to studio estimates.
The movie dropped 47 percent — an admirable hold for a picture that’s putting up such huge numbers. By the end of Sunday, The Avengers will have made an estimated $457.1 million domestically, passing $450 million in a record 17 days. (The previous record holder, The Dark Knight, reached that milestone in 27 days.) Meanwhile, The Avengers also passed Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest to become Disney’s biggest »

Why Firing Dan Harmon From 'Community' Was Stupid And Very NBC (Analysis)
15 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
If NBC wanted to send a message to the creative community that writing and running your own show is a job without security, then by all means, congratulations on the impressive chilling effect. No doubt people will look at, say, Smash and think, “Well, they renewed it but changed things at the top. A mixed message there but no worries.” But now that NBC has ousted Dan Harmon from the recently renewed Community, what’s the thinking outside of Burbank? How about this: “Holy hell, they took Harmon’s show away from him without telling him. Let’s take that meeting with

SNL With Mick Jagger (and a Farewell to Kristen Wiig): Best and Worst Skits?
20 hours ago | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Kristen Wiig got an emotional send-off as she made her final curtain call during the season finale of Saturday Night Live. It’s just too bad that the episode as a whole didn’t provide a funnier last impression for the fabulous comedienne, Oscar-nominated earlier this year for her excellent Bridesmaids screenplay.
It didn’t help, of course, that host Mick Jagger struggled mightily from tepid opening monologue to a final sketch, where his attempt to pull off a “California” accent was so strained, the Rolling Stones frontman appeared to be on the brink of an aneyurism. And Jagger didn »

just now | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
Is this some kind of cruel joke?! Our jaws dropped when we read that Justin Bieber decided to call it quits with longtime girlfriend Selena Gomez, and over a tweet no less!

Are one of Hollywood's top couples really done? Are the Pda pics never to be seen again? Try to gain control of that Bieber fever, lovebirds, because this rumor is... So false! Whew!

'Skyfall' teaser trailer: 'Murder?' asks a shrink. 'Employment,' responds James Bond
1 hour ago | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
Will M die? Will Adele be doing the title song? And what part exactly is Ralph Fiennes playing in the 23rd James Bond movie?
The first teaser trailer for Skyfall, due in theaters Nov. 19, answered none of these hotly-rumored questions. We still have no idea what Sam Mendes’ movie will be about. But the trailer does offer a tantalizing glimpse of what’s ahead. At one point in Skyfall, for instance, Bond will apparently play word association games with a prison psychiatrist. “Murder?” the doctor asks. “Employment,” 007 replies. Welcome back, Mr. Bond. Check out the trailer below:

Skyfall Teaser Trailer: James Bond in Repose
1 hour ago | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »
Are you ready for some more action with James Bond? Well, just sit tight: In the stylish new trailer for Skyfall, directed by Sam Mendes, there isn't very much slam-bam at all. Instead, you get some beautifully shot tableaus of Daniel Craig and Judi Dench looking pensive (photographed by ace cinematographer Roger Deakins) and a whole lot of mood ... which is certainly welcome, after the hectic mess that was Quantum of Solace. It's a trailer as cagey and confident as Bond himself, and if it reveals new Bond villain Javier Bardem, it's just barely and only in silhouette. But yes, Daniel Craig is shirtless in it. Like they were going to leave that out? »

Win tickets to a Total Film screening of Will Ferrell’s hilarious new comedy Casa De Mi Padre
1 hour ago | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
Casa De Mi Padre is the latest comedy creation from Will Ferrell, and we’re putting on a special screening for Total Film readers! Depending on how you look at it, Casa is either the funniest Mexican soap opera to never air on daytime TV, or the barmiest mainstream comedy of the year. Will Ferrell stars as Armando Alvrez, the good-hearted son of rancher. A charming dolt, he lives the ignorantly blissful life of a cowpoke. All that changes when his brother Raul (Diego Luna) returns to the family home, with his stunning new...

First trailer for Skyfall: watch now
1 hour ago | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
Skyfall has released a first official trailer online, in which Daniel Craig's Bond appears more grizzled, non-nonsense and generally badass than ever before. The new teaser is fairly light on plot details, settling instead for recreating the mixture of grit and glamour that made Casino Royale such an energising kick-start to the franchise. Dealings with the plot itself are restricted to a single question and answer session between Bond and an MI6 psychologist. Giving glib, one-word answers to trigger-words like "agent" and...

The first footage of the first James Bond film in four years, Skyfall, was unveiled on BBC1 this morning - Eon initially eschewing this new fangled internet business in favour for a cup of morning tea with Auntie - and has now blasted onto the web.Our first thoughts? Wow. This is what we're talking about.

Give us your reactions in the usual place, then check back here later for a full blow-by-blow of the trailer. brightcove.createExperiences();Skyfall's plot may be divorced from Quantum's foul shenanigans but clearly Bond's fractured psyche, a »
Review: Michael Haneke's 'Love' expertly charts the dissolution of self
2 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Cannes - For the vast majority of his career, Michael Haneke has had a well-deserved reputation as a master of cinematic cruelty. His best films have felt like cruel pranks on his audience, underscored by a deep contempt for human weakness. I have always had an uneasy relationship with his work, admiring him on a technical level but afraid of each new film and the razor's edge contained within. "Love," his new film, made its debut today in competition at the 65th annual Cannes Film Festival, and while it is unmistakably his, this may be the single most humane picture he's »

In The Hollywood Reporter's Cannes Daily No. 6, THR's film critic Todd McCarthy analyzes the first half of the festival. Also, stories on Twilight star Kristen Stewart's mother's directorial debut and stories from inside the Lawless premiere. Cannes 2012 Critic's Notebook: Festival Slowly Improves During Week For some, the festival really got started with Cristian Mungiu’s aetheistic acid bath administered to the devoutly religious, Beyond the Hills. For me, however, things finally kicked into gear with Michael Haneke’s Love, an unflinching yet supremely elegant examination of the final stages of life, unerringly acted by French greats Jean-Louis Trintignant and

Cannes: Latest On Mad Max Reboot
2 hours ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
For the past couple of months, Tom Hardy has been sporting a particularly luxuriant beard, as part of his prep for Mad Max: Fury Road. And it looks like he might not be touching a Mach 3 for a good while longer. Empire got the chance to speak with Hardy and his Lawless co-star Guy Pearce in Cannes, where the former admitted that the long-delayed project still has no set start date.“We keep moving that around, you know?” he shrugs. “Who knows when it’ll come out? I’ve been on stand-by for two years… but it’s all part of it. It’s kind of the cool thing to do, to be elusive with dates and all that.”While there has been talk of the Mad Max shoot being so ambitious that it will last an entire year, rumour has it that the schedule has been cut down to trim the budget. »

Daniel Craig is out for revenge again in new 007 'Skyfall' trailer
2 hours ago | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
Sony Pictures has released a brand new trailer for Sam Mendes "Skyfall," the latest 007 adventure and boy does it look good. It's not just that Mendes has upped the stakes again by introducing the mysterious Skyfall "incident" (one that does not sit well with our favorite secret agent), but the fantastic production design and gorgeous lighting and camerawork by none other than by Roger Deakins. That's the benefit of hiring a world class cinematographer. No matter what, it's gonna look fantastic. The only reason it gets an A-? We want more of course. "Skyfall" opens in the U.S. on Nov. 9.

Yahoo Strikes $7.1 Billion Deal to Reduce Stake in China's Alibaba
3 hours ago | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Yahoo has struck an agreement with Chinese online giant Alibaba Group for Yahoo to sell its stake in Alibaba in stages. In a first step to finally unwind their seven-year relationship, Alibaba will buy back up to half of Yahoo's stake 40 percent in the company. The price will be based on a valuation to be established later, but the companies said they will use a valuation of at least around $35 billion for Alibaba. That would mean that Yahoo could get approximately $7.1 billion in the initial 20 percent stake sale, including at least $6.3 billion

Amost as if festival director Thierry Fremaux had coyly scheduled some of the weaker Competition entries at the beginning so the festival could been seen to gradually improve as the days wore on, the 65th Cannes Film Festival began getting serious over the weekend with weighty entries by the venerable likes of Haneke and Mungiu, with Kiarostami and Resnais hot on their heels.

The Wolverine, Fox's long-gestating sequel to X-Men Origins, looks to be inching ever closer to our screens with Hugh Jackman announcing that filming is set to begin on the project in August. The star took to Twitter to answer a question from a fan, confirming, "starts shooting in August!!!" when asked for an update on the film. That's all he had to say on it detail-wise, so lets just hope that nothing else happens to postpone that schedule.

Kick-Ass 2 is moving ever closer to fruition, with Universal set to give the superhero sequel the green light and new director Jeff Wadlow outlining his plans for the project to the audience at this weekend's Kapow! convention. "I think the most important thing that’s gonna change from the Kick-Ass 2 comic to Kick-Ass 2 the movie was just really finding an emotional story to tell." said Wadlow.
