'Anchorman 2′ Trailer: Stay Classy, Fat Face!

Jacob Hall — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:40:55 +0000

Has it really been nine years since Will Ferrell introduced audiences to the legendary Ron Burgundy with 'Anchorman'? Has it really taken Ferrell and co-writer/director Adam McKay almost a decade to put together a follow-up to the best comedy of the '00s? Well, that wait is almost over and the new trailer for 'Anchorman 2' suggests that Burgundry and his elite news team haven't lost a step.

Although styled similarly to the first teaser fro

'The Hangover Part 3′ Red-Band NSFW Trailer: It's Time to End the Trilogy

Damon Houx — Thu, 16 May 2013 23:03:03 +0000

'The Hangover Part III' is due out in a week, and the one thing the trailers and posters have hammered home is that this is the final chapter of the series. The movie, which stars Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Ken Jeong, is promising closure and this latest (likely final) NSFW trailer plays up that this is the end.

Jessica Sager — Fri, 26 Apr 2013 03:50:34 +0000

Nicki Minaj is moving from the small screen at ‘American Idol‘ to the silver screen! The ‘Freedom’ MC nabbed her first movie role (that is, in a non-voiceover part) alongside A-lister Cameron Diaz. The Hollywood Reporter says Minaj will appear in ‘The Other Woman.’ In the flick, Diaz learns she’s, well, “the other woman” and [...]

'Dodgeball 2′ With Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn Is Moving Forward

Damon Houx — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:15:00 +0000

'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story' was a pretty funny movie that was a surprise hit in 2004. It pitted Vince Vaughn and his gang of outsiders against Ben Stiller and his corporate stooges in a winner-takes-all game of dodgeball. When a film does as well as 'Dodgeball' did (it made over $100 million at the box office), a sequel is practically guaranteed, and though it took a decade, it looks like they're finally getting around to it.

VHS Tapes You Always Wanted To Throw Out, But Never Did [PICS]

Speedy — Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:23:13 +0000

I remember back in the day if you had a VHS/VCR player, everyone was at your house on a Saturday night watching movies. It was so cool, because you could watch your favorite movie as many times as you wanted. You didn't have to wait for it to come on HBO or some random channel.

'Catching Fire' Trailer: Just When You Thought 'The Hunger Games' Was Over…

Nick Romano — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 03:07:00 +0000

The first 'Catching Fire' trailer has finally hit during the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, following a slew of Capitol Couture character posters and one "teaser-for-a-teaser trailer" that didn't reveal very much of anything (other than that Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss is still PO-ed for having almost died in 'The Hunger Games'). With no more lame flaming Mockingjay symbols, check out the first actual footage from the new sequel.

Famous Movie Jocks Then and Now

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 12 Apr 2013 22:31:59 +0000

Jocks — we love to hate them. Especially at the movies. Whether they are football players, lacrosse stars or even the rare skiing celeb, the stereotypical jock has been the epicenter of many of our favorite films. They were tough, attractive (often) and usually got the girl– what’s not to like? Sure they were cocky, [...]

'The Hangover 3′ Trailer Finally Reveals the Film's Plot

Jacob Hall — Thu, 11 Apr 2013 17:50:23 +0000

Every 'The Hangover 3' trailer and TV spot so far has sold chaos and only chaos, so it's refreshing that the new (and possibly final) trailer for the trilogy capper lets us know what the movie is actually about. Unlike 'The Hangover Part II,' this is no carbon copy remake of the first film -- it couldn't look more different than what we've seen before.

DJ Digital — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 19:52:39 +0000

The Chicago-Sun Times is reporting that legendary film critic Roger Ebert has died at age 70 after a long battle with cancer. Ebert reviewed movies for the Chicago Sun-Times for 46 and famously on television for 31 years. He was by far the most prominent and influential film critic in the nation, if not the world.

James Franco + Seth Rogen Prank the Internet With a 'Pineapple Express 2′ Trailer [VIDEO]

Cassandra Rose — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 22:31:15 +0000

Part April Fool's joke, part viral promotion for their upcoming apocalypse film 'This is the End,' James Franco and Seth Rogen made a sequel trailer to their cultish comedy, 'Pineapple Express.'

Which might have angered and confused anyone who smoked a bowl in celebration before watching the trailer in its entirety.

Famous Fears: The Strangest Celebrity Phobias

Cassandra Rose — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 21:14:14 +0000

Everyone's afraid of something. And if you're not, chances are you're not really human -- because even celebrities, those citizens we put on pedestals, have phobias, some of which can seem far from normal.

But even outside of Hollywood, if it exists, chances are someone you know is afraid of it. Yes, even rainbows. (That's called iridophobia.)

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles'

Donald Deane — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 23:25:48 +0000

Any self-respecting kid who grew up during the late 1980s through the early 1990s knows 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' like the back of their hand. Origin story involving mutagenic ooze? Wise old sensei in the form of a talking bipedal rat? Arch villain bristling with a set of pointy armor? Check, check and check.

Twitter Thinks Bane Caused the Super Bowl XLVII Blackout

Emerald Catron — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 04:04:37 +0000

We're going to pretend all of these people are hilarious and not morons. When the 2013 Super Bowl was delayed by a power outage, most people took it as a chance to actually talk to the people at their football party. These people decided to make jokes on Twitter that the half hour of darkness was actually 'The Dark Knight Rises' villain Bane's fault.

Must Watch: Cinescape Miraculously Melds The Best Movies of 2012

Mike Moody — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 18:07:15 +0000

Thereâ€™s no denying that 2012 was a strong year for film. We had great, big genre franchise stunners like â€˜The Avengersâ€™ and â€˜The Hobbit,â€™ small and compelling surprises like â€˜Looperâ€™ and â€˜Holy Motors,â€™ as well as great works by top-tier filmmakers like Spielberg’s â€˜Lincolnâ€™ and Tarantino’s â€˜Django Unchained.â€™ Editor Matt Shapiro is helping us celebrate [...]

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'Home Alone'

TheFW Staff — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:10:16 +0000

If you tried to describe the violent holiday classic ‘Home Alone’ to someone who had never seen it, they might wonder why it’s considered a “must watch” at Christmas time. Watching the precocious, sadistic Kevin McAllister (played by Macaulay Culkin) find new and unique ways to commit assault and battery against two hapless burglars doesn’t sound like something that would teach an impressionable child about why the holidays are important.

'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' is Due Out in One Year

Damon Houx — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 01:30:31 +0000

Though they're still working on script, and should start filming shortly - even after releasing a teaser this summer - we only have a small inkling of what's in store for us when 'Anchorman: The Legend Continues' hits theaters next year. But now the picture has a release date, and it means only one thing: Will Ferrell is gunning for an Oscar.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'The Hobbit' Breaks December Records

Jacob Hall — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 21:31:44 +0000

Was there ever any doubt that 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' was going to dominate this weekend? Heck, it's probably going to dominate next weekend, too. If audiences embrace it like they did 'Lord of the Rings,' it may even dominate the week after that. The big question now is whether or not Peter Jackson's return to Middle Earth will make a bunch of money, but exactly how many bunches.

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'Elf'

TheFW Staff — Tue, 11 Dec 2012 22:05:04 +0000

The Will Ferrell holiday classic ‘Elf’ wasnâ€™t supposed to be a hit. Despite being a heartwarming comedy released around the holiday season, it had several things going against it before the filmmakers had a chance to start shooting. Ferrell had just found a loyal audience thanks to his memorable performance as Frank the Tank in [...]

Eric Walkuski — Tue, 20 Nov 2012 15:38:56 +0000

Believe it or not, it has almost been 20 years since 'Wayne's World 2' came out. (That little piece of info just makes our bones creak.) A long time, yes, but it's never too late to reunite with old friends, which is why we're absolutely delighted to hear that Mike Myers is working on a 'Wayne's World 3' with the lovable public access hosts from Illinois.

Not only that, but Myers has apparently finished the first draft of the screenplay! Find out what it's about after the break. Shhwiiing!
