‘The Lego Movie’ Trailer: Chris Pratt Leads a Great Assembly of Talent
The best thing and the worst about making 'The Lego Movie' is that there's never really been much of a narrative to Lego toys. You put them together, that's it. So the film could be about anything. And from the trailer, directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller ('21 Jump Street') have fun with that freedom as we see the crossover of Lego toys from all different franchises assembled... for something.

‘Sin City 2′ Won’t Hit Screens Until 2014
It was looking like the fall would belong to Robert Rodriguez as he was scheduled to have two films released back to back with 'Machete Kills' and 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.' But all that's changed today, as 'Sin City 2' has been pushed back into next summer.
‘The Lone Ranger’ Featurette: Johnny Depp Fell Off His Horse
'The Lone Ranger' will be hitting theaters in a little over two weeks. Right now it doesn't feel like one of the summer's biggest tentpole films; perhaps it was waiting for some of the big superhero films to hit screens before going for the full-court ad press. But unlike its comic book competition, this film wants you to know many of its big set pieces were done practically.
‘Only God Forgives’ Trailer: Ryan Gosling Wants Revenge
'Only God Forgives' came out of Cannes with mostly mixed to negative reviews, but little will keep us from wanting to see Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn reteam after their work together on 'Drive.' The film opens in July, and here's the film's American trailer.
‘300: Rise of an Empire’ Trailer: There Will Be Death and Destruction
Themistokles is pitted against the massive invading Persian forces led by mortal-turned-god Xerxes, and Artemisia, vengeful commander of the Persian navy.
‘In a World…’ Trailer: Lake Bell Takes on the Voice-Over
If you've watched enough trailers, you've probably noticed that the voice-over and text in trailers is usually innocuous babble meant to get audiences excited about an upcoming film. And though voice-overs for trailers have fallen out of fashion, writer/director/star Lake Bell takes on the absurdity of that universe in her directorial debut 'In a World...'
‘G.I. Joe 3′ May Re-Enlist Director Jon M. Chu
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' was rumored to have a troubled post-production, which made director Jon M. Chu (who at that point was best known for directing 'Step Up' sequels and a Justin Bieber documentary) look out of his depth. The film turned out to be a huge success, so it's not surprising to hear Chu's the current frontrunner for directing duties on 'G.I. Joe 3.'
‘The Purge 2′ is Coming (But That’s No Shocker)
This weekend 'The Purge' made $34 million at the box office. As the film had a production budget of $3 million, that means the film started to turn a profit less than a day after it was released. So it's no surprise that they're moving forward with a sequel.
‘Need for Speed’ First Look: Is This the Next ‘Fast and Furious?’
The film adaptation of 'Need for Speed,' which is based on the very successful Electronic Arts video game franchise, is finally in front of cameras and will be hitting theaters next year. To hype the film, they've given a first peak behind the scenes at some of the stuntwork in the film.
Robert Rodriguez to Launch a Latino James Bond For Television
Robert Rodriguez is someone who likes to keep busy. On top of the upcoming releases of 'Machete Kills' and 'Sin City: A Dame to Kill For,' and his involvement with a 'From Dusk Till Dawn' TV adaptation, he'll also be directing the pilot for a series that will mimic the James Bond films, but give them a Mexican flavor.
