Take a quick little trip behind the scenes of Les Mis with Director Tom Hooper.

While not long, this featurette is interesting and worth taking a moment to watch. It’s about two minutes, and it shows the film crew working their way through the foothills of the Alps, managing their gear, the camera, and all that while it’s freezing cold. But man did they get some nice looking shots!

It’s quiet out there as everyone in Hollywood is en route to the Sundance Film Festival, so here’s something that should perk up your eyeballs a little bit. The always awesome Jeremy Irons has weighed in on “Downton Abbey,” and if you think the show is the height of writing and drama, Irons has some news for you.

Chatting at the Television Critics Assosciation panel for PBS’s “Shakespeare Uncovered,” Irons used the opportunity to take a swipe at the network’s hit show. “What I’m really excited about with ‘Shakespeare Uncovered’ is we’ll see some of the best British actors playing…

I care more about this for the Man of Steel info than Broken City, but at the same time, I’ll be seeing Broken City so it’s interesting too.

But there’s a lot we just don’t know about Man of Steel yet. That’s to be expected with Christopher Nolan involved I suppose. I mean even the trailers so far have not given us a lot of actual substance. And we certainly don’t know a lot about Krypton and Russell Crowe’s Jor-El in this film yet. This will mark the first time on the big screen an actor besides Marlon Brando has played Superman’s papa. Even in Superman Returns, they pulled out some…

Jamie Foxx and Kerry Washington talk about working with Quentin Tarantino and how they feel about his films, how they feel about making Django, and more.

Worth checking out.

When we first met John McClane in 1988, he was just an everyman cop trying to help his wife and her colleagues out of an office building. But oh, how things have changed. Each installment of the Die Hard franchise has gone bigger than the last, and number five, A Good Day to Die Hard, is no exception. McClane travels to Russia not only to save his son, but, apparently, to defend democracy itself.

In real life, we saw that progression unfold over two and a half decades. But next month, you can relive it in just a matter of hours. Fox has announced that it will bring all four previous…

I just saw this via Fringe’s Facebook page. It looks like it was just posted to YouTube today. So despite having shared a Fringe trailer earlier, I must share another one with you now.

It looks to be epic, but I suppose we would expect nothing less from Fringe‘s last hurrah.

A little more fun this morning if I may. This was just too much fun to not share. Who hasn’t dreamed of encasing Jar Jar in carbonite?

I have no idea who this person on Twitter is or where the picture originates from, but I stumbled across it and it’s too much fun — you know, as a card carrying Jar Jar hater (Meesa think Jar Jar Stupid!).

This is just too much fun!
