Awards season must be approaching: we're beginning to get trailers and clips for films that don't have explosions, bright lights, gigantic robots or superheroes.

When I think 'punk rock icons,' I totally think Alan Rickman. Rickman stars in CBGB, a film about the famed rock club in New York City that played host to thousands of up and coming bands over the years, most of them solidly in the punk and rock genres and not in the 'country, bluegrass and blues' that the club's title announces. The first trailer for CBGB hit today.
The Weinsteins are not having the best time of it recently. With the lawsuit over Lee Daniels' The Butler now resolved, and not in the Weinsteins favor, the company is once again faced with another legal battle.

Arrow, it appears, is not happy with the Weinsteins' recent film Lovelace, which stars Amanda Seyfried as Linda Lovelace, the star of Deep Throat.
