Full Trailer For Twilight: Eclipse!

Twi-hard alert! Calling all 14 year old girls!

The full trailer for the next installment in the Twilight saga is now online and we’re bringing it to you!

Material has been slowly leaking onto the web for the past two months and now we’ve finally got a full trailer to show you.

Edward and Bella are anxious to start their new life together but she’s got to decide whether or not she wants to be a vampire. Meanwhile Jacob doesn’t want to let her go over to the dark side, but will he stand in the way of true love?

Meanwhile, Victoria is still loose and out for revenge on Edward but will she get it?

We love a poster at OTB but we have to admit, we’re not loving the new Kick-Ass posters.

Previously released artwork for the superhero movie have been, well, kick-ass, so we’re a little disappointed at the latest images.

The film follows high school loser Dave Lizewski as he tries his hand at being a superhero, not letting the fact that he has no powers stand in his way.

Calling himself Kick-Ass, he soon encounters heroes with a bit more experience and a lot more firepower than he in the shape of Big Daddy and 11 year old daughter Hit Girl.

We previously posted some behind the scenes interviews with star Aaron Johnson and the writer/director Matthew Vaughn and Jane Goldman and while we might not love these posters, you just might. Enjoy.

We pondered over why Disney Animation had changed the title of their next project Rapunzel to Tangled because it’s seemed rather pointless.

Some fans think that the new title will take away from the integrity of the fairytale, others think that it’ll signal a moderisation of the story but now we know the real reason that they did it.

We should have known really. It turns out that Disney just wanted the film to appeal to boys who might be less inclined to see a princess movie named after a long haired lovely.

Ed Catmull, president of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios explained the situation. “We did not want to be put into a box. Some people might assume it’s a fairy tale for girls when it’s not. We make movies to be appreciated and loved by everybody.”

To be fair, that’s a good common sense approach. Of course boys aren’t going to want to see the film if they think it’s a pretty in pink movie, but will calling it Tangled make a difference?

They’re also targetting the boys more with the addition of the Flynn Rider character which is not included in the original story. But will one swashbuckling rogue cancel out the princess effect?

Take another look at the teaser trailer and see what you think.

Russel ‘Grrr’ Crowe returns to our screens as classic British hero Robin Hood in Ridley Scott’s new film.

Maybe one day we’ll actually get an English actor to play him. Anyway, this version will follow the typical story of Robin fighting in the Crusades with King Richard then returning to merry old England to find that Prince John has ballsed everything up while they’ve been gone. Putting peasants under extreme taxation, Prince John uses sidekick Sir Godfrey to help him gain power and keep the country under his thumb.

With a little help from his band of merry men, Robin tries to fight back and restore England to it’s former glory. Cate Blanchett also stars as love interest Maid Marion but at least in Scott’s version she looks like she could kick some serious ass.

Check out the trailer and let us know if Crowe looks like he can pull it off.

Jeff Bridges may have won an Oscar for his portrayal of a hard living country singer in Crazy Heart but it turns out he had a lot of experience to go on.

In an interview with The Sun, Bridges revealed that in his youth he was pretty wild and how that not only influenced Crazy Heart, but the role that made him famous, The Dude in The Big Lebowski.

“When I was younger there were stories about me doing drugs and how I was ‘torturing’ my family. Actually, it was pretty accurate. In my 20s I was experimenting with drugs like pot, LSD and coke. That part of my life was in the past by then, but I could relate to The Dude.”

As well as having an effect on his family, Bridges’ drug use had a pretty big effect on his dad’s car.

“I did it before I had a driver’s licence. Dad had a ‘63 Lincoln, a beautiful car, that he let me use near the garage. The car was going backwards and I thought, ‘I can’t be pushing the gas hard enough for it to go forward’. So I pushed harder and the car went through a brick wall.”

He’s calmed down a lot since those days and that’s mostly down to his wife and children. Unlike most Hollywood relationships, Bridges has been happily married since 1977 and are still going strong. “I’m so in love with her. The relationship just keeps getting better and more intimate and sexier and all that stuff. My wife supports me and it makes me love her more.”
