Warner Bros. has unleashed the first official trailer for its much buzzed about superhero actioner The Green Lantern. Despite being slated for a June 17, 2011 release, the studio has already begun its campaign to lure people with vaginas into the theater.
Judging from the trailer, the strategy seems to focus on showing footage of headliner Ryan Reynold’s baring his chest and smuggling plums in his tighty-whiteys.
Here ya go:
Directed by Martin Campbell (No Escape), The Green Lantern costars Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Tim Robbins, Mark Strong, Temuera Morrison, Jenna Craig, Jon Tenney, Taika Cohen, Jeff Wolfe, and Angela Bassett.

A trailer for Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke’s upcoming werewolf-thriller Red Riding Hood has hit the web. The film is a romantic re-imaging of the Brothers Grimm’s classic fairy tale “Little Red Riding Hood” and stars Amanda Seyfried in the titular role.
Peep the trailer:
Red Riding Hood (formerly entitled The Girl with the Red Riding Hood) is written by Orphan scribe David Leslie Johnson. Costars include Lukas Haas, Billy Burke, Shiloh Fernandez, Julie Christie, Virginia Madsen and Gary Oldman.
The film is produced by Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way for Warner Bros and is slated for a March 11, 2011 release.
Seyfried is currently filming director Andrew Niccol’s (Gattaca) upcoming sci-fi actioner Now (previously entitled I’m.mortal) opposite Justin Timberlake and Olivia Wilde. She plays an abducted prostitute.
MTV’s neutering of the 1985 MGM horror-comedy Teen Wolf has now gotten a trailer. Despite sharing a title, the network’s re-imaging of the Michael J. Fox film appears to be a completely different beast. For starters, actor Tyler Posey’s teen wolf clearly manscapes … his entire body. Yes, the werewolf is fucking hairless. And, he plays lacrosse instead of basketball!
Hmm. Me thinks producers have been consulting with 11-year-old girls such as this.
MTV’s Teen Wolf stars Posey as Scott McCall, a high-school outcast who gains powers and popularity after being bitten by a wolf. Costars include Skyline’sCrystal Reed as the love interest, Dylan O’Brien as the best friend, and Tyler Hoechlin as the series’ villain.
Teri Hatcher’s guest appearance as Lois Lane’s mother on this week’s episode of The CW’s “Smallville” garnered the series a 2.9 rating (1.3 among the coveted 18-to-49 demo), making it the highest rated episode so far in its 10th and final season.
Entitled “Abandoned,” Friday night’s episode featured Hatcher as the late Ella Lane addressing her daughter Lois (Erica Durance) for the last time via video tape.
It went like this:
Hatcher, of course, played Lois Lane on the 1993 ABC series “Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.” Her hair style on that show looked exactly the same as it did on Friday night’s episode. Coincidence?
Hatcher currently stars as milfy ditz Suzanne Mayer on ABC’s long-running hit series “Desperate Housewives.”
Sony Pictures has released the first teaser trailer for director Jonathan Liebesman’s alien-invasion feature Battle: Los Angeles, due in theaters on March 11, 2011. The film stars Aaron Eckhart (The Dark Knight), Michelle Rodriguez (Machete), Michael Pena (Love Object), Jim Parrack (“True Blood”), Noel Fisher (Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn), sexy newcomer Taryn Southern, and R&B pop artist Ne-Yo.
Described as Independence Day meets Black Hawk Down, the film takes its name from a supposed massive UFO sighting in Santa Monica, California said to have taken place on Feb. 25, 1942, just weeks after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. According to UFO enthusiasts, the alien ship was attacked by the U.S. military under the belief that it was Japanese aircraft (read more about it here).
The world premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One was held last night at the Odeon Leicester Square in London, England. The event brought out Potter creator J.K. Rowling and the film’s stars including Danielle Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Tom Felton, Bonnie Wright, Helena Bonham Carter, Clemence Poesy, John Hurt, and Ralph Fiennes.
The premiere was a bittersweet experience for cast, crew, and fans as it marks the beginning of the end for Warner Bros’ widely popular blockbuster franchise. Watson, however, stole the limelight from her costars and the film itself by showing off some serious leg in a tiny black lace and feather frock by Rafael Lopez (he does all my feathered boxers). The 20-year-old starlet even managed to pull off a new pixie haircut without frightening my penis.
Oops! My Dumbledore just moved
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part One is directed by David Yates and will arrive in theaters in 3-D, 3-D IMAX, and in standard save-yourself-five-bucks 2-D on Nov. 19. Part Two is slated for release on July 15, 2011.

“LOST” babe Rebecca Mader is set to guest star on an episode of ABC Studios’ new superhero dramedy “No Ordinary Family,” set to air in January. The 33-year-old redhead will play a mysterious Global Tech employee working alongside series regular Julie Benz’s character Stephanie Powell.
“No Ordinary Family” follows the Powell family as they attempt to understand and control the super powers they developed after surviving a freak accident. The show costars Michael Chiklis as patriarch Jim Powell, Kay Panabaker (Danielle’s younger sister) and Jimmy Bennett as the kids, and Autumn Reeser as lab tech Katie Andrews.
TV Guide is reporting that Mader’s character “may be hiding a few secrets of her own,” so don’t be surprised if it becomes a recurring role for the British starlet. Mader is, of course, best known for her doomed turn as Dr. Charlotte Lewis on ABC’s Emmy award-winning sci-fi series “LOST.”
Actress Courtney Ford has landed a recurring role on the upcoming fourth season of HBO’s hit vampire-soap “True Blood.” The 32-year-old stunner will play lawyer Portia Bellefleur, sister to Bon Temps, Louisiana detective Andy Bellefleur.
Ford was last seen on The CW’s “The Vampire Diaries” as supernatural scholar Vanessa Monroe and on Showtime’s “Dexter” as Miami Tribune reporter Christine Hill, the homicidal daughter of the notorious Trinity killer.
Ford, who had toiled around Hollywood for 10 years chasing bit parts, was ready to call it quits shortly after auditioning for “Dexter.” Thankfully, producers recognized the California native’s natural talents.
The world premiere of Universal/Rogue Pictures’ alien-invasion thriller Skyline was held at the Regal Cinemas L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Tuesday night. Directors/producers Colin and Greg Strause were joined on the red carpet by starlets Crystal Reed, Scottie Thompson, Brittany Daniel, and Tanya Newbould. Vagina-less costars in attendance included David Zayas, Eric Balfour, and “brown bear” Donald Faison.
Also spotted at the shindig: Keenan Ivory Waynes, “Californication’s” topless brat Madeline Zima, Road Trip’s DJ Qualls, “Dexter’s” C.S. Lee, and up-and-coming hotties Andreea Florescu and Arielle Vandenberg.
Skyline centers on a group of friends in Los Angeles who after a night of drunken debauchery wake up to find bright blue lights shining down from the sky and sucking up all who look into them.

Despite being produced as an indie, Skyline boasts top-notch F/X created by the Strause brothers’ very own effects shop Hydraulx (Avatar, 2012) and was shot with Red One cameras, which provide the quality of 35mm film with the convenience of digital technology.
Vanessa Hudgens is currently filming Warner Bros’ upcoming fam-fantasy actioner Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to the studio’s 2008 blockbuster Journey to the Center of the Earth. The 21-year-old starlet plays part of a father/daughter tour guide team hired to help Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson reprising his role) and his stepfather (Dwayne Johnson) rescue a castaway from the aforementioned mysterious island.
The first Journey was a surprisingly fun flick thoroughly enjoyed by the entire Muertos family. I was kind of bummed when I heard Brendan Frasier wouldn’t be starring in the sequel (what? he’s good!). However, I suspect that he may have a cameo as the island castaway.
Regardless, photos of Hudgens running on the beach during shooting have reclaimed my interest in the franchise. Though her face is looking kinda rough in the shots, she rocks a mean tank top (see gallery below).
Hudgens will next be seen on screen in director Zack Snyder’s all-girl actioner Sucker Punch and CBS Films’ delayed morality tale Beastly.
