Sometimes viral marketing campaigns can be pretty awesome, even if they go a little unnoticed. We haven't received any tips from New Yorkers who saw people flying around the city, but it happened, and now there's video. more ›

Earlier this year, Demi Moore was slated to play feminist icon Gloria Steinem in a film about Deep Throat porn star Linda Lovelace. But since Moore is "suffering from exhaustion" (or from doing whip-its or smoking an incense-like product), she has dropped out of the film. Now the filmmakers say they have found a new Gloria, and it's our one and only Carrie Bradshaw. more ›

New Year's Eve and Valentine's Day are the Hallmark of Hollywood productions—rom coms centered around holidays in which ensemble casts play out their microscopic plotlines which somehow generate lots and lots of manufactured feelings. They're totally manipulative! And lucrative. And now they've got some competition from the folks at 30 Rock, where on the show Jenna Maroney is starring in Martin Luther King Day. Check out the trailer, where you'll also spot: Nick Cannon, Emma Stone, Andy Samberg, Liam Neeson, Kristen Bell, R2D2, John Krasinski, Hugh Grant, and so many more. What, no Ashton Kutcher? more ›

But at least the movie usually plays: a tipster wrote us about an unfortunate experience seeing Martin Scorsese's Hugo at the Regal Union Square last night. "This occurred after the film broke twice during the screening and we had been sitting in the theater for 3.5 hours," he said. "It's quite the mashup. Considering the movie is a tribute to film and film preservation, it was especially hysterical and at the same time a total travesty." more ›

In 1957 Jack Kerouac wrote a letter to Marlon Brando (which just sold for over $33,000 at Christies) asking him to buy the rights to On The Road and make a movie out of it, noting that they could both star in it. In his vision, the novel would be reworked to a "perfectly acceptable movie-type structure," compressing all of the separate voyages into one large journey across the country. He began the letter: more ›

According to a National Enquirer source (so take this with a grain of sensationalized salt), Bill Murray received the Ghostbusters III script, which we've been hearing about for years, with Dan Aykroyd recently confirming its existence. more ›

Ben Folds, Aubrey Plaza, Harry Crane... these are all people who show up in the teaser for Improv Everywhere's documentary. The film is a work in progress, and the troupe has launched a Kickstarter to help raise the $125,000 they need to complete it. That may seem a little steep when you're confronted with lines like "And from there we took our pants off, and the rest is history," but they do have to cover over a decade of pranks. more ›

One-part Borat, one-part Saddam Hussein romance novel, and one-part incredibly fake beard, the first trailer for the highly anticipated new Sacha Baron Cohen movie, The Dictator, was released today. It's loosely based on Zabibah And The King, the romance novel allegedly written by former Iraqi dictator Hussein. The movie, which prominently takes place in NYC, concerns the exploits of the titular character, "who risked his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed." Watch the trailer below. more ›

In September we saw the first glimpse of Jonathan Safran Foer's 2005 novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close in its big screen adaptation look, with a trailer very light on 9/11 imagery. Now, about three weeks before it hits theaters, the trailer editors have delivered a more heart-wrenching version, with 100% less feel-good U2 songs, and more shots of the Twin Towers after the planes hit. The movie comes to theaters on Christmas Day, should you be looking to weep on the holiday: more ›

Can Daniel Radcliffe, fresh off a decade-long Harry Potter run, really pull off playing Allen Ginsberg? He's the latest actor to be cast as the Beat icon, in a movie coming out next year called Kill Your Darlings. The movie has actually been in development for a couple of years, and originally Jesse Eisenberg was rumored to be playing Ginsberg. more ›

First of all, ready to feel old? Before Sunrise came out about 16 years ago. Exactly nine years after that, the follow-up Before Sunset was released, and now it's been almost nine more years since that happened. So naturally, the movie's star Ethan Hawke is thinking of revisiting the characters in a third movie. Fun fact: the actor was 25 in the first film, and would be around 43 when the next one comes out. more ›

Luckily, we can never tire of the Muppets, so it's totally fine with us that they've been jamming this new movie down our throats for nearly a year now. In their latest move to captivate the audience prior to the big opening day (Thanksgiving), the fun-loving creatures have channeled their darker side. Their new posters have them dressed up as characters from another movie coming out this week, Twilight: Breaking Dawn, which our little cousin tells us is the first part of the two part big screen finale for that series. Are you on Team Edward, or Team Green (that's Kermit, of course)? more ›

While the real Gotham City is right here, of course, sometimes other cities are used to portray it on film—you know, since we're so terribly busy and important here in New York. And so it goes, The Dark Knight Rises has now relocated from Manhattan to... Newark. According to CBS, the cast and crew are in the Garden State today and tomorrow, prompting major traffic concerns for New Jersey commuters—the Newark Light Rail from Penn Station to Broad Street Station will not be running for the two days, and car traffic will be rerouted. more ›

At the very least, there's going to be some confusion when tourists (who are all about Zuccotti now) run into some extras dressed in SWAT gear. Should be an eventful two weeks, especially for the neighbors. But the big question is: will Hipster Cop finally get his Hollywood close-up? more ›

Reddit—the web home for the finest animal videos, incest survivor q-and-a's, and inspirational weight loss stories—just added another notch to its considerable belt: dream money maker. Two-time Jeopardy! champion and writer James Erwin posted his pitch for a time-travelling movie on the internet's preeminent link warehouse, and voila: Variety reports that Warner Bros. has preemptively purchased the high-concept pitch Rome, Sweet Rome. At least you can say you loved it before it was popular. more ›

Ready for some man on man action between Michael Douglas and Matt Damon? Well ready or not, Steven Soderbergh and Jerry Weintraub are about to deliver it. Their movie, which is currently called Behind the Candelabra, promises "a behind-the-scenes look at the tempestuous relationship between legendary entertainer Liberace and Scott Thorson, his younger live-in lover" (there was about a 38 year age difference between them). more ›

As Mister Rogers gets in on this whole Occupy Wall Street thing (you know, from Beyond), take a look back at the man's life and legacy through the eyes of Benjamin Wagner. The former MTV producer's life was changed when he met Fred Rogers, and he went on a quest to understand his mantra: “deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex.” Wagner went on a journey traveling 4,000 miles across the country to meet people also touched by Rogers—the footage includes chats with Susan Stamberg, Linda Ellerbee, and the late Tim Russert. more ›

Jonathan Safran Foer's 2005 novel Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close was adapted to fit the big screen, and after months of filming around New York City, the film finally has a trailer.

Running after kids while in Jimmy Choos? Pancake batter on a Prada jacket? The lines between Carrie Bradshaw and Sarah Jessica Parker blur in the new movie, I Don't Know How She Does It, which opens today and is based on a British novel about a working mother who tries to do it all/have it all and not go insane. Oh, and in the movie, Parker's character Kate Reddy is married to Greg Kinnear (Aidan?, flirts with Pierce Brosnan (Mr. Big?), is best friends with Christina Hendricks (Miranda/Samantha/Charlotte?), has a work rival in Seth Meyers (someone mean, like Michiko Kakutani, maybe?). more ›

Can't get tickets to what is probably the hottest show on Broadway right now? Don't worry about it! Book of Mormon, Trey Parker and Matt Stone's Broadway hit that has somehow managed to rise above its scandal-baiting plot, is heading to the big screen...eventually. more ›
