The version without the funny words at the bottom of the screen will be released later tonight. In the film directed by Martin Campbell (Casino Royale), Ryan Reynolds plays a test pilot who receives a ring from a dying alien that lets him create anything he wants with green energy. He then gets cocky, but soon learns that he shouldn’t get so cocky. Blake Lively looks hot and Peter Sarsgaard’s head is huge because he’s evil. That about cover it? **Returns to sudoku puzzle** | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Universal has dropped the epic red-band trailer for Your Highness. The David Gordon Green-directed film stars Danny McBride, James Franco, Zooey Deschanel, and an unbelievably sexy Natalie Portman. Franco and McBride play brothers, one of them brave, the other an idiot. When Franco’s fair maiden (Deschanel) is kidnapped by an evil witch-man (Justin Theroux), the two go on a quest to rescue her. In the process, they find Natalie Portman, who is sporting some kind of amazing Middle Ages thong. They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. As the town crier would proclaim, “Daaaaaaaaaamn!” | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Red Riding Hood trailer has hit the internaught, and I have to say, it looks remarkably similar to the trailers I’ve seen for the Twilight films. That’s probably due, in no small part, to the fact that Catherine Hardwicke directed both films. Like Twilight, this film has pretty young women staring longingly at pretty young men, gratuitous slow-motion shots, and a real ‘pedophiles must love this crap’ kind of vibe. Yep, Hardwicke is an auteur. But unlike the Twilight films, Hood, as I like to call it, has real actors. Amanda Seyfried and Gary Oldman are both in the film, and I’m assuming they must have made a boatload of cash to go slumming this low. Kudos to you, Gary. Take the money and run! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Movies are never short on characters who have had one too many. Just like real life drunks, they slur, slip, and spew — sometimes all at once. The unfortunate souls in this wasted in movies supercut from our editor Matthew Freund needed a friend to cut them off, or just leave them at home altogether.

Hopefully the third time’s a charm for director Larry Charles and Sacha Baron Cohen. Actually, the first two times have already proven to be quite charming, as they consisted of Borat and Bruno. Even so, here’s hoping for a three-peat. The pair are teaming up again for The Dictator, a film written by Cohen as well as Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel of “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Cohen will play both a goat herder and a deposed foreign dictator traveling across the U.S. Will the film pack as many laughs as Borat, or perhaps as many ball-sacks as Bruno? Only time will tell. (24 Frames via Collider) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Kirsten Dunst was really close to getting a fourth gig as Mary Jane in Spider-Man 4. Sam Raimi had Tobey Maguire and company attached, but then bowed out to let Columbia reboot the series. Dunst is cool with that. "I feel like it was time, you know," she said while promoting her upcoming film All Good Things. "Sometimes they always want to push things for money reasons or whatever and it just didn't come together the way they probably had wanted or envisioned. I like Andrew Garfield so much as an actor and Emma Stone so I think they'll be great in the new version." In some ways Raimi's attempt at Spider-Man 4 was seen as a way to make up for fans' disappointments with Spider-Man 3. Dunst feels happy with the trilogy as it stands. "I felt like what we had during those films was so special, like me and Tobey and Sam. It was such a unique experience and also because it was these independent minds and actors and you're making this huge film. It's great that all these kids are such huge fans and to be a part of a movie like that is very special, especially a good franchise. So to end on 3 I think is the perfect way to leave it." No hard feelings, she says she'll still be a fan of the new Spidey movies. "Of course I'm going to see the movie. Of course." | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  "This guy gets the polar bear skin rug." Tom Shadyac, director of Ace Ventura, Liar, Liar, Bruce Almighty, and the catastrophe that was Evan Almighty, is done with money. The L.A. times made a call to poor country to, surely out of morbid curiosity, find out what’s up with Shadyac. Turns out he sold his mansion, moved into a trailer park, and gave away all of his Benjamins to unknown sources (hole in the woods). These drastic moves all came about due to a spiritual awakening he had after a bike accident left him with a post-concussion syndrome. “It's already enough of a privilege to be an artist,” Shadyac said. “We don't need any more privileges.” If you listen closely, you can hear a collective fart noise emanating from the Hollywood Hills. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Apparently Emma Bell jives well with horror. Currently portraying a survivor of the zombie apocalypse in AMC's "The Walking Dead," Bell will take on the role of Death's leading female target in the fifth installment of the Final Destination series next year. After she's done battling the undead and narrowly escaping the omnipresent creepiness of the Grim Reaper, we're assuming she'll take on that evil leprechaun dude while evading Jason Voorhees and carrying on a romantic relationship with Freddy Kruger. That's a total guess, though. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Could this finally be the year that Jason Statham gets his first Oscar nomination? If the trailer for The Mechanic is any indication, no. However, he should definitely be nominated for “The Actor Most Likely to Give You a Non-Homosexual Man-Crush Boner” award. There is such a thing as a non-homosexual man-crush boner, right? And they do give awards for them, right? In the film, Statham plays a mechanic, but not the kind of mechanic that fixes cars and stuff. He’s the kind that fixes people’s heads…with bullets. Wait a minute, that’s not a mechanic at all. What an irresponsible title! | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  The Hulk takes care of Grizzly overpopulation. Guillermo del Toro is attaching himself to another project instead of actually shooting another project. This time the director is teaming up with “Battlestar Galactica” executive producer David Eick to create a new TV series version of “The Hulk” for ABC and Marvel. This marks Marvel’s first series project for ABC and del Toro’s first TV project for anyone. Flood gates. Opened. Deadline has more deets: The series will follow an origin story. In it, physicist Bruce Banner, whose alter ego is the green and raging Hulk, will be in his mid-twenties, less reactive and more energized as the world is still his oyster. Unlike the two Hulk movies, in which the monster was a pure CGI creation, the series will employ a mixture of prosthetics, puppetry and CGI. Del Toro and Eick will break the story for the pilot script together, sharing story and created by credit. Eick will write the script, with del Toro attached to direct subject to his availability.
This means that del Toro could be busy attaching himself to several more projects. Attaching is strenuous and leaves little time for actual directing. “The Hulk” series reboot is still in the very early stages. Marvel is looking to launch it following the July 2012 release of The Avengers, so don’t expect any green transformation or smashing until fall 2012. Maybe after The Avengers you’ll already be sick of The Hulk. Seriously, how many different people can play one superhero? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Disney has dropped the trailer for Pixar’s Cars 2. Michael Caine joins the talking automobile cast as a British intelligent agent who gets into it with Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) and Mater (Larry the Cable Guy) as they take part in the first world Grand Prix. First of all, the British government would never spend millions to train an Aston Martin to spy for them, and second, I have it on good authority that anything voiced by Larry the Cable Guy is banned from Asia. Aside from all that, Pixar has never screwed anything up. I wasn’t a huge fan of the first Cars, which I believe is the national consensus, but it made enough to warrant a sequel, so here’s hoping Caine can bring some class to the franchise by shooting rockets out of his nostrils. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NBC has been running this new promo for their mid-season series “The Cape” in anticipation of its January 9th premiere. It looks fun in a goofy kinda way. Or at least it wears its goofiness on its sleeve. It’s like Darkman without the crazy parts or compound fractures. The show focuses on a disgraced cop who, believed to be dead, goes underground after being framed for the Mayor’s murder. There he joins the circus and is trained by Keith David’s impression of Morpheus to fight “True Blood’s” crazy-ass vampire Franklin . He also learns how to wield a cape made of silk strong enough to beat up Vinnie Jones. That’s right. He has a kung-fu cape. Go ahead and roll your eyes, but it’s still not as outlandish as “Heroes.” I’ll watch it. On Hulu. When drunk. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 
Carey Mulligan consistently looks like she just woke up from a nap. A nap where she dreamed about crying. Despite this, she’s a hot property in Hollywood these days. So hot in fact, that she’s the go-to “not Natalie Portman.” After meeting with a bevy of hot, young actresses, Baz Luhrman has selected Mulligan to portray Daisy Buchanan in his adaptation of The Great Gatsby. Now all he has to do is decide if he’ll do the film or not himself. Sorry, readers. "There are a few elements that I feel need to be resolved before I would categorically state that this is my next film," says Luhrman. For instance, working out Leonardo DiCaprio’s schedule, getting Tobey Maguire to commit, and casting all the other roles. Time will tell on this one. If a few months go by and he announces another project, we’ll know this casting process was his excuse to try to meet Natalie Portman. Sly boots.

Fans of “The Walking Dead” are about to get hit by a double whammy. With just three episodes left in the ridiculously short first season, viewers will now have to wait until next October to witness season two. According to The Hollywood Reporter, AMC is looking at an October launch date for two reasons. First, their 2011 schedule is already packed, with original programing like “Mad Men,” “Breaking Bad” and “The Killing” all jockeying for position. Second, as proven by the success of season one, October is the ideal month to launch a horror-based series. Fearfest, “AMC’s annual horror movie marathon” acts as a built-in promotional tool, and Halloween adds to the mix. On the plus side, director Frank Darabont is set to return. On the downside, a lot of us will be dead by time season two premieres. Sorry to be a buzz kill, but 11 months is a long time. You do the math.
