http://www.joblo.com/ JoBlo's Movie Emporium News en-US Mike Sampson You may have heard the news online that a new DISTRICT 9 trailer would be in theaters and online next week. Well I can say that I was lucky enough to get an early look at the trailer before the big debut next week! I don't have anything to show you from the trailer but I took some notes and I'll do my best to relate what I saw. It's much more action-packed than the original teaser but action still does not seem to be...

HPATHBP is one of Warner Bros.' biggest releases of the year so there will be some cool new trailers to check out from their upcoming slate. While I haven't loved anything I've seen from Robert Rodriguez's SHORTS, I imagine it's something that littler...

There were teaser posters, some character banners, more teaser posters, international posters, international teaser posters and now more character banners. They highlight Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz in their respective roles. It's nothing all that special but for the Tarantino...

When he sees an ad in a magazine for a strange new company that specializes in “soul storage”, he decides to have his soul removed as a possible solution. But when things don’t go as planned, Paul decides it’s time to ask for his soul back. Unfortunately, someone swiped it and sent it to Russia… This film was...

The film stars Johnny Depp as 1930's bank robber and folk hero John Dillinger, Marion Cotillard as his moll Billie Frechette and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who hunts Dillinger. We got to talk to Mann about the film, shooting in HD, and picking the soundtrack. Damn, this...

When Bruno sat on his face last month, Eminem caught more flack for freaking out and not being able to take a joke, than he has for spewing lyrical vitriol towards gays, women, and celebrities. Well if there is a debate, it will soon be put to rest when Marshall Shady Mathers Slim or whatever, appears opposite Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in Judd Apatow's highly...

David O Russell's THE FIGHTER--starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg--is looking for unpaid extras to fill the stands for some boxing scenes that will be shooting in Lowell, Massachusetts on July 14th, 15th and 16th.

It's also time for Hollywood's kings and queens to hit Malibu, Santa Barbara and Hoboken for a quick weekend getaway, thus putting a temporary moratorium on all things movie-related.

He's got another one: "No." As Lehmann tells Movieline, "Winona [Ryder]'s been talking about this for years — she brings it up every once in a while and Dan Waters and I will joke about it, but as far as I know there’s no script and no plans to do the sequel.

Little Dakota Fanning, whose preternatural acting talent was at times scary but mostly cute as a button, went ahead and grew up on us.

First, they'd initially slated the Adam Sandler comedy GROWN UPS for a March 12th release but it apparently tested well enough that they've decided to put it right in the thick of summer for a June 25th release. It'll now face stiff competition from the Stephanie Meyer adapted threequel THE TWILIGHT SAGA:...

Actually the movie will likely resemble more the game's box (right) than the game itself, which featured no color and used only 6KB of code.
