From Brooklyn to the big screen! Finally, the Where the Wild Things Are trailer has premiered, and October can't get here soon enough, right? Let's just hope the Spike Jonze-directed adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic '60s children's story gets the IMAX treatment.

As you no doubt have heard, the original 1974 film The Taking of Pelham 123 has been remade into a contemporary thriller. But instead of a team of stylishly eccentric subway highjackers, the new version seems to feature just one, a tattooed John Travolta. Taking over the role of protagonist Lieutenant Zachary Garber, originally played by Walter Matthau, is Denzel Washington, sporting an earring just like his nemesis Travolta—maybe director Tony Scott is exploring some sort of deep ying/yang metaphor.

The Real World Brooklyn teaser trailer has been released, and while it's probably best presented without comment, we will say that they're really making this one seem dramatic! Each cast member is like a fortune cookie, with their own little special cliché sayings inside. Take a gander (but as Curbed notes, don't expect too many scenic Red Hook shots).

Let's face it, New York City is going to have many cinematic love letters written to it, and they're not all going to be Woody Allen's Manhattan. The latest is called, simply, New York, I Love You, and amongst the long list of directors are Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson. The cast includes bold-face names as well, like Robin Wright Penn, Ethan Hawke, Blake Lively, Hayden Christiansen, Kevin Bacon, Rachel Bilson, James Caan, Orlando Bloom...the list goes on and on. Filming wrapped up in April, and here's a peek at what it's going to look like.

A brand new full-length trailer for The Dark Knight hit the web today; the last one circulated in December -- just one month before one of the film's stars, Heath Ledger, was found dead. This trailer was originally screened at NYC's Comic-Con late last month, and gave viewers the first glimpse of Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face character. Watch the larger version here.

Open wide for the forthcoming Nintendo Wii game Major League Eating, which lets players compete as some of the most famous speed eaters in the world, like Takeru Kobayashi, six-time winner of Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating contest. If the game turns out to be half as fun as this promotional trailer, there’s going to be a lot of virtual binging going down this summer.

Today Miss Heather posted photos of a nice little set up on Willoughby Avenue (pictured above). Sure, this isn't what most have in mind when they think of the perfect New York living space, but a few of the positives are pointed out: large front yard, extra storage under the stairs, lawn ornaments that really make a house a home. We dig the digs, and Miss H is smitten with the pied-a-terre. If only it looked like this inside, we'd be sold.

The architect who was in the construction site trailer crushed by 14,000 pounds of steel that fell 25 stories from a crane may never walk again. Doctors believe Robert Woo was likely paralyzed; his mother said, "He might not walk again...I've been telling him he's lucky to be alive." It is amazing Woo is alive - seeing photographs of the site, it's incredible he survived - but given the amount of construction and development ongoing in the city, we're alarmed as well.

Architect Robert Woo is hospitalized but in stable condition today after the construction trailer he was working in was crushed by a load of falling steel that a crane dropped. The crane was elevating the steel at the site of the new Goldman Sachs building at the World Trade Center. The accident occurred yesterday morning when a nylon sling snapped and seven tons of steel fell 25 stories. Woo was the only person injured in the incident at 200 Vesey St. He was pulled from the wrecked trailer dazed and bleeding from his mouth.

Hello, Lovers! Last night we received the first Sex and the City trailer...finally! We sat down with a Flirtini, called our girlfriends and pressed play to find out what Carrie & Co. have been up to all these months while they weren't busy clogging up the sidewalks and becoming New York's biggest tourist attraction. Turns out we'll be seeing a lot of the same 'ol shenanigans in theaters as on TV: clothes, shoes, talking, drinking...because,...

Documentary filmmaker Donny Moss has produced a movie about the carriage-horse trade in New York City called Blinders. It looks to be a revealing take on an iconic feature of the city, and includes original footage as well as documentation of well-publicized accidents and interviews with carriage owners, veterinarians, witnesses to accidents, and anti-carriage activists. Moss is engaged in the film festival application process right now, but has placed a trailer for the movie on...
