When the second trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man launched earlier today, it set the internet a buzz for various reasons.  Now, it looks like a hidden message within that trailer has kicked off the viral marketing for the film. 

Following a pretty bumpy road, filled with delays and even the need for a replacement director, it looks like things are back on track for the X-Men Origins: Wolverine follow-up. Fox has finally given the film a release date.

After a big event that took place earlier today which showcased about 8 minutes of footage from the new Spider-Man film, Sony Pictures unleashed the newest trailer for the upcoming film for fans to enjoy.  Most importantly it also gives us our first real look at the Lizard!

So it's finally happened.  After months of waiting, we'll finally get to here more about Redbox's plans to move into the streaming/subscription service game.  It was only a matter of time before Redbox, arguably Netflix's biggest competitor, moved into the online market.  Now Redbox finally has, and has brought on a friend to help them: the biggest cell phone company in the United States of America—Verizon Wireless.  Read more about this potentially huge partnership after the break.  

At first glance, this is a pretty silly and dumb rumor. I mean, there's just so many things about this that doesn't make any sense! For one, I'm pretty sure Ridley Scott has said that none of the characters from the original film are coming back this time around. Also, it's been pretty well reported that Harrison Ford had a terrible experience making Blade Runner. Add in the fact that Ford has been pretty hesitant to sci-fi films nowadays and the idea of Ford returning for Blade Runner 2 seems pretty incomprehensible. That said, a rumor has been circling around the interwebs (as the kids call it) this weekend that Ford will indeed be back as police officer Rick Deckard in Blade Runner 2. And, believe it or not...I actually believe there's credence to this rumor.

With the Super Bowl spot for The Avengers comes a slew of new footage that has fans oogling and drooling over (myself included).  Yet nothing is quite as exciting as getting our first real look at the mysterious aliens that will be the villain's army in the film.  Thanks to the magic of HD video, we've got it highlighted for you in case you missed it.

 Let's face it...movie commercials during the Super Bowl are just a big tease.  They're only 30 seconds long and for fans who are eager for footage that's just not enough.  Fortunately, studios understand this and shortly after they air on TV, they release extended versions to sate your appetite...

Sometimes, the world of movie casting can get pretty intense.  Unlike writers, directors, or producers, there can be dozens of actors involved in a movie.  Because of this, new casting for movies is happening ALL THE TIME.  Well we here at TMP try our best to provide you with the biggest and most important casting news, sometimes, there are some smaller ones that slide throgh the cracks.  Role Call is here to fix that.  Every week, we will take a dive into the world of film casting, from the biggest Hollywood blockbusters to the smallest of indie films.  Well most Role Call's will be a round up of all the casting announcements made during the week, we'll sometimes take a break to focus on another realm of casting, from the evolution of an actor to his 5 greatest roles.  But no matter what we do, one thing is for sure: the world of movie casting is a big place, and Role Call is here to help you forge your way through it!

This week, we got about a billion new projects for Russell Crowe, a new role for Shia LaBeof, and two literary adaptations for Oscar nominee Viola Davis.

Universal Pictures sent out a press release just a little bit ago announcing that filming for the Riddick film has officially started...even though it actually started a little while ago (and the set pics prove it).

If you were to ask me a year ago about my excitement level for G.I. Joe Retaliation, the answer would have been zero.  Then we got the pretty awesome teaser trailer not too long ago, and I started to get pumped.  Now the full Super Bowl spot has been released and I'm becoming more and more encouraged...Believe me, I'm just as shocked as you are about it.
