‘The World’s End’ Featurette: On Working with Edgar Wright
You might have guessed from his previous work, but Edgar Wright is a perfectionist, and as Simon Pegg says in this new featurette about 'The World's End,' "you can't argue with perfection."
‘Transformers 4′ Reveals an Updated Bumblebee
It seems the Michael Bay 'Transformers' movies go through two rounds of casting: One for the human performers and another for the cars that will appear in the film. Bumblebee, who's been a sidekick to Shia LaBeouf's character in the previous three films, will return for 'Transformers 4' with a brand new look.
‘Jacob’s Ladder’ to Get the Remake Treatment
'Jacob's Ladder,' the 1990 film by Adrian Lyne that starred Tim Robbins and Elizabeth Pena, is the latest film to get dusted off and prepped for a new version. The remake is being financed by LD Entertainment ('The Grey'), and they've already got a writer attached.
‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ Trailer: The Coen Brothers Folk It Up
It's arguable that the Coen Brothers are the greatest working directors of our day. Sure, there's Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino (among others), but Joel and Ethan Coen have delivered some of the best films of all time, and some of the greatest films of the last ten years. Their latest, 'Inside Llewyn Davis,' opens in December and it's likely that it will be another Oscar favorite.

'Captain Planet and the Planeteers' was a mildly popular, environmentally-friendly cartoon that ran from 1990 through 1996.

‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer: It’s Nearly Time to Cancel the Apocalypse
Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' looks like the fevered dreams of a kid who stayed up too late watching Japanese movies and cartoons, and we mean that as a compliment. The film is set to open in a little over two weeks, and now there's a new trailer that plays up the stakes.
‘Sin City 2′ Won’t Hit Screens Until 2014
It was looking like the fall would belong to Robert Rodriguez as he was scheduled to have two films released back to back with 'Machete Kills' and 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.' But all that's changed today, as 'Sin City 2' has been pushed back into next summer.
‘Amazing Spider-Man 2′ Rumor: Is Sarah Gadon the New Mary Jane Watson?

‘Independence Day 2′ Dated for 2015 and More Fox Schedule Changes

‘The Lego Movie’ Trailer: Chris Pratt Leads a Great Assembly of Talent
The best thing and the worst about making 'The Lego Movie' is that there's never really been much of a narrative to Lego toys. You put them together, that's it. So the film could be about anything. And from the trailer, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller ('21 Jump Street') have fun with that freedom as we see the crossover of Lego toys from all different franchises assembled... for something.
