Stars React to STAR WARS VII

Star Wars: Episode VII has people talking; from rumors to facts and every tidbit the Internet throws at us – it’s being talked about.

Total Film has made a compilation of reactions from various stars and filmmakers, giving their thoughts and answers on whether or not they’d like to be a part of the Star Wars universe or not, some were even asked if they would return.  Here from the likes of Joss Whedon, Jason Statham (I like his honesty), Eli Roth, Nicholas Hoult, Jai Courtney, Mark Wahlberg (I imagine he doesn’t get a lot of things), Michelle Williams, and Melissa McCarthy.

Trailer for Sam Raimi’s OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL

So it’s happening, and here’s the trailer for it.  Sam Raimi’s Oz the Great and Powerful is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz with James Franco as the wizard.  The trailer does a good job at reminding people of some classic scenes from The Wizard of Oz; you get the house in the tornado, black-and-white to color, and even some green colored rivals.

Oz the Great and Powerful opens on March 8th, 2013.

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco) is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot— that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Reel: Seth MacFarlane is Ted

If you want to see how Seth MacFarlane played a Teddy Bear in his upcoming movie Ted opening everywhere this weekend, check out the video below.  I’ll give you a  hint, it’s motion-capture.  I’m looking forward to his first feature film; you can see a red-band trailer we posted over here.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane brings his boundary-pushing brand of humor to the big screen for the first time as writer, director and voice star of Ted. In the live action/CG-animated comedy, he tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.

Red Band Trailer For Seth MacFarlane’s TED

Here is the first trailer for Seth MacFarlane’s feature directorial debut Ted starring Mark Wahlberg and Macfarlane as the voice of Ted.  It’s a pretty great looking trailer showing how much promise this movie has to be as rude and crude as an R-rated comedy can be.   The film also stars some Family Guy regulars – Mila Kunis, Joel McHale, Patrick Warburton, and Giovanni Ribisi.

Ted tells the story of John Bennett (Mark Wahlberg), a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear who came to life as the result of a childhood wish…and has refused to leave his side ever since.

Ted opens July 13th, watch the trailer below:

Trailer: Friends With Benefits

In what can only be a remake of the classic Seinfeld episode The Deal, Friends with Benefits takes the premise that guys and girls can’t be friends if sex is involved.  It’s a red-band trailer, although I can’t figure out why.

Here’s a brief synopsis:

A young female headhunter (Mila Kunis) in New York convinces a potential recruit (Justin Timberlake) to leave his job in San Francisco behind and accept a job in the big apple. Despite an attraction to each other, both realize they’re everything they’ve been running from in a relationship and decide to become friends…with benefits. It’s the perfect arrangement–until they realize there’s no such thing as no strings attached. (more…)

Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan Trailer, Very Nice

Fox Searchlight has released the first teaser trailer for Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis and Vincent Cassel.  There are two copies after the jump, you know how YouTube gets.  The buzz on this one is that Portman is amazing and Aronofsky has another award winning film on his hands.  Well good for them.  Mila Kunis is the real story for me though; she’s talented and has been choosing some great roles over the last few years, mind you they are mostly comedies (Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Max Payne), and she’s very attractive too, I can say that right?  She won’t hate me?  Mila?
