Today we get the first teaser trailer for Warner Bros.' Happy Feet Two, a sequel to 2006's Happy Feet. If you like singing penguins then this may be your thing but honestly, the first one didn't do much for me. We don't get a whole lot from the trailer, since it's just a teaser, but from what I gather, it will be mighty similar to the first one. Which may not be a terrible thing, since the first one made $400 million.

Malick’s Next Film Will Be More Experimental Than The Tree Of Life

Making the press rounds for The Tree Of Life, the producers of the film have been chatting about some of director Terrence Malick's other projects, notably The Burial, which is the rumored title for his next film. Of course, details so far have been hard to come by and with a cast that includes Ben Affleck, Rachel McAdams, Rachel Weisz, Olga Kurylenko, Javier Bardem, Barry Pepper and Jessica Chastain, it's no wonder people are curious as to what the director has cooked up for his next film. 24 Frames is reporting that Malick has finished reshoots and photography on the film. They also said that it's “even more experimental than Tree of Life." Of course this can mean many things but just don't expect anything conventional. And while there is a still out, which can be seen above, it's anyone's guess as to when the film will hit theatres. It may still be a year or two out, if not more.

South Park Season 15-05 ‘Crack Baby Athletic Association’ Recap

Twisted and ridiculous? Yes! Absolutely hilarious? Yes, yes, yes! Tonight Matt and Trey brought us the Crack Baby Athletic Association, continuing what is shaping up to be a great season. Crack babies, a KFC gravy hot tub, EA Sports, poutine, Slash from the Guns N Roses (who is apparently made up by the way) and slavery, we got a bit of everything in tonight's South Park episode. There was even a great "screw you I'm goin home" from Cartman, what more can you ask for?

Justin Lin, Doug Liman And Antoine Fuqua Top The Wolverine Wishlist

After exiting the director's seat on The Wolverine due to creative control, director Darren Aronofsky has left a void for 20th Century Fox to fill. They need a director to helm the pic, but after what they did to Matthew Vaughn on X-Men: First Class, it's not likely that many directors are going to want to sign on to the project. During the filming of the latest X-Men film, the studio switched up Vaughn's crew so many times that he often didn't know who his crew would be on any given day. There were five different cinematographers, two assistant directors etc. He was also very rushed. Nonetheless, FOX still needs someone for the project and Variety is telling us that the list of director's for the film is down to eight names. The list includes Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity), Mark Romanek (Never Let Me Go), Jose Padilha (Elite Squad), Antoine Fuqua (Training Day), Justin Lin (Fast Five), James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma), Gavin O’Connor (Pride and Glory) and Gary Shore, who is known television commercials.

Shark Night 3D Trailer

Today we get the first trailer for David R. Ellis' Shark Night 3D. That sentence alone should tell you everything you need to know about the film. Ellis is behind films like Final Destination 4 and Snakes on a Plane. And by the title, you can expect a shark thriller in 3D, getting the picture yet? Basically looking to be this year's Piranha 3D, Shark Night 3D will put a lot of attractive young people, in bathing suits, and have them be torn apart by sharks, all in 3D of course. You'd be foolish not to know exactly what to expect but sometimes these movies are fun for a one time watch. And this one looks no different. Looking at a September 14th release date, the film looks to offer little in the way of substance (plot, character development etc), but may just offer up enough gore, nudity and WTF moments to make for a nice popcorn flick

The Hangover Part II Review (A Second Opinion)

The Wolfpack is back! Stu, Phil, Alan and Doug have returned for more drunken debauchery and this time the boys are taking on Bangkok. The Hangover Part II hits theatres this week and after a two year wait, fans are finally able to follow the gang back into familiar territory. The premise is the same, as are the players, but what's different are the stakes. Vegas is one thing, but Bangkok, well it's a whole different beast.

Sony Pictures Looking To Acquire Kathryn Bigelow’s Osama Bin Laden Pic

Deadline is reporting that Sony PIctures is looking to acquire U.S. distribution rights for Kathryn Bigelow's upcoming Osama Bin Laden picture. The film, which is currently untitled, follows "Navy SEAL Team 6's hunt for Osama Bin Laden." Mark Boal is currently getting the script ready and financing will come from Megan Ellison's Annapurna Pictures. A fall start date is likely with a 2012 release date to follow. Reportedly, Sony will put up a $25 million P&A guarantee and the budget will come in somewhere between $25 and $30 million. Ellison will still need to sell international rights and Deadline believes the job for that will go to Summit Entertainment, due to the job they did on The Hurt Locker.
