Welcome back for another edition of News Bits!  What is it you ask?  Well, the film world can get quite overwhelming at times in the news that releases.  Unfortunately some of this news is just too small to warrant a full article. Rather than deprive you of the news, we've created this section.  This week in news bits we’ve got posters, trailers, a new comic book movie inspired soda, and more!

Meanwhile, 21 Jump Street has an impressive second weekend and The Lorax coutinues its stellar streak.

If I was a doctor performing a surgery on John Carter, I would have called the film's death about a dozen times.  Its heartbeat kept slowing to a snails pace, and its pulse seemed practically non existent; what other choice did I have but to call it quits?  I had to shut down the monitor, put away the defillbulator—it was over, and there was nothing I could do to save this film.  But right before I would write the time of death, the film's heart rate would suddenly rise, and its pulse would miraculously return!  I would be thrilled, entertained even!  But before I could even begin to appreciate just how strong a film it was, the heart rate would once again collapse.  And I would once again try to revive it.  But the film would keep dying, and there was nothing I could possibly do about it.  In bursts, the film would come back to life—but try as I might, I could not keep it alive.  I would continue this fruitless back and forth for about two hours, until the film finally ended.  And once it was all over, I made a startling discovery—John Carter was never truly alive.

John Carter was a film without a pulse, and there was nothing I could do to convince myself otherwise.

A slew of new posters have come out for some upcoming releases, and rather than hammer you with a bunch of tiny articles about them, we've compiled all of them into one convenient article for you!

 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...

March and April have quickly become more and more populated.  It seems like all the rejected summer blockbusters flock to these two months, hoping the lack of competition will garner them box office glory.  Well it doesn't always work, you can't deny that there is money to be made during these two months.  And, evident from today's Prelude to 2012, studios want as much money as they can squeeze from these two months.  Hit the jump for full details on over 25 films hoping to make an impact in the limbo between Summer and the beginning of the year.  Who knows...you may just find something you'll like.

John Carter is arguably the first "event" picture of 2012.  It's been in development hell for decades, yet is based off one of the most beloved science fiction book ever made.  Obviously, a lot of stock is going into this film (both literally and figuratively; apparently, Disney spent a TON of money on this film).  Over the last week, marketing for the film has been revving up.  A couple new pictures were released, along with a new poster (headlined at the top).  But it was all leading up to this—the reveal of the brand new, full length trailer.
