And, ahead of its forthcoming release, a brand new trailer has arrived (via Collider) that looks set to prove that traveling can be hazardous to one's health.
Paramount Pictures revealed today that Mission: Impossible 5 - the fifth installment in the hugely-popular action franchise - will be granted a simultaneous IMAX release this summer.

What better way to mark today's sense of occasion than an update on the long-gestating Friday The 13th reboot? Set up by horror remake maestros Platinum Dunes, the pic has seen more than its fair share of rumors, chatter and potential release dates.

Warner Bros. has unleashed the first trailer for female buddy movie, Hot Pursuit, starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara. In the pic, the pair appear as an unlikely duo who team up to escape a motley crew of cops and mobsters.

It’s taken a good long while for Looking season 2 to step up the drama, mainly due to the show’s slow, unraveling pace. Three episodes in and we’re greeted with a smidgen of compelling content akin to the end of season 1. Let’s not forget, though; this isn’t a half-hour updated version of the razzle-dazzle Queer As Folk, that carnival of gay tropes packaged for popular consumption. Looking has never clung to those same mainstream aspirations, so, it might be unfair to judge it based on the idea of ‘how fast does the plot move?’ because it’s not an action-packed soap opera. But it’s still a welcome change when events switch up a gear.

As soon as the first Guardians Of The Galaxy hit theaters, you might have thought director James Gunn was multiplex-hopping to check on how his first Marvel movie was registering with audiences. But no, Mr. Gunn was busy working on his first draft of the follow-up, Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, which landed the greenlight around the same time. And it's no wonder, as he's recently confirmed that the sequel will boast new characters, locations and a new story NOT seen in the comics.
Since becoming America's Sweetheart across the span of about four rom-coms, Katherine Heigl's stock hasn't exactly plummeted. Then again, it's not been on the rise. Instead, it's hovered indecisively while she committed to NBC's latest drama, State Of Affairs. Whether she's heading back to TV for the long haul or just waiting for a new movie direction, her performance in Home Sweet Hell hints at future in B-movies.
