The new trailer for Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor’s upcoming tsunami drama The Impossible shows literally the calm before the storm, and then the horrific storm itself.

Classical music plays over flashes of serene waves, scuba diving, kids frolicking on a perfect, bright beach in Thailand and pensive, loving looks between Watts as Maria and her husband Henry, played by McGregor, at dinner.

Then all hell breaks loose.

Check out the trailer from Summit Entertainment below.

This could be interesting. Ewan McGregor is always great, even in less than stellar films (*cough* Star Wars…

“I’ll… free… your… slaves! I’LL FREE THEM ALL!” Okay, we probably shouldn’t expect the eccentric genius of Daniel Day-Lewis’ Oscar winning role in There Will Be Blood, but the acclaimed actor is certain to light to screen this Christmas in Steven Spielberg’s biopic Lincoln. Below is the first official still from the film, and no it doesn’t show him slaying vampires. On a side note, it was also reported today that Day-Lewis never once stepped out of character while on the film’s set. Whether he spent most of that time bemused by the modern technology has not yet been confirmed.

First of…

Movie superheroes tend to be faithful boyfriends, sticking with a single love interest for the entire duration of their franchise, or at least a couple of installments. But alas, the specific circumstances surrounding Captain America’s romance with Peggy Carter (i.e., the whole “being frozen in a block of ice for six decades” thing) make it impossible for the pair to reunite in proper fashion.

So the search is now underway for a new lady to star in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and directors Joe and Anthony Russo have reportedly whittled down the options to three excellent…

As everyone surmised, The Avengers 2 will now officially open May 1, 2015. Written and directed by Joss Whedon, the film will likely return the current members of the team (Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner) and incorporate characters and storylines from Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians of the Galaxy and maybe even Ant-Man. Mark it on your calendars, it’s gonna be massive. Read the official statement, with a title tease, after the jump.

It’s going to be a long three years…

Plutarch is new Head Gamemaker at the Capitol, replacing the seemingly executed Seneca Crane (Wes Bentley) from The Hunger Games. A far savvier political animal than his predecessor, Plutarch is charged with overseeing the 75th annual Hunger Games, also called the Quarter Quell. As the name suggests, the event occurs every 25 years, tweaking the rules of the Hunger Games in a new, significantly brutal way. For the first Quarter Quell, citizens in each district voted on who would compete in that year’s Hunger Games. For the second Quarter Quell, each district provided four tributes to the…

Even before Snow White and the Huntsman opened, the studio was lining up plans for a sequel. And as of today, that follow-up is still moving forward — only it’s being reconfigured to focus on Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman, cutting Kristen Stewart’s Snow White out completely.

Look, I know there’s a lot of people who don’t like Stewart (I’m not one but I get it), and I know all about the scandle of her cheating on Pattinson with the director, but this just seems like a disaster in the making right here. This seems like a far worse problem than doing Bourne without Bourne. Snow White without…

Joseph and I had a brief conversation about this upcoming film yesterday. Let’s just say I may give him a new nick-name like, the burster of bubbles, or the crusher of dreams… perhaps kite anchor…

In any event, he is of the line of thinking that it’s a fun premise but won’t amount to anything. My cynical side actually agrees. But I’d rather hold out hope. The trailer looks awesome, and of course the two lead actors are awesome, what could go wrong, right?

Well, lots could go wrong I suppose, but I’m still going to wait and see how it goes. For the moment, I’m trying not to get my hopes…

To date, Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers has only grossed $617.3 million in the United States and Box Office Mojo reports it’s barely playing on 200 screens. That’s unacceptable, says the writer/director, who released a video damming the upcoming film Sleepwalk With Me from stealing some of those precious, and much needed screens.

Joss’ video is hilarious, tongue-in-cheek humor, as you would expect from him. I was not aware of the film before. I’m still not sure if it would be any good, but I am now aware of it. Check out Joss’ boycott video below and the trailer for Sleepwalk With…
