The CW has released online the footage reel it presented at Comic-Con this year to promote the upcoming third season of it’s hit series “The Vampire Diaries.” The clip recaps the events of season two and teases things to come.
Peep it:
“The Vampire Diaries” is writer-producer Kevin Williamson’s (Scream, “Dawson’s Creek”) adaptation of L.J. Smith’s popular book series of the same name. The show stars Ian Somerhalder, Nina Dobrev, and the guy who isn’t Ian Somerhalder.
“The Vampire Diaries” returns Thursday, September 15th.
An all-star cast featuring Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig. A tried-and-true director of big-screen spectacle. Cowboys. Aliens. If these things aren’t enough to rope you into theaters this weekend to see Universal Pictures’ epic sci-fi actioner Cowboys & Aliens, then how about the promise of some nude Olivia Wilde ass?
The beautiful 27-year-old actress revealed to Access Hollywood that her sexy little rump is on display (briefly I’m sure) in the PG-13 rated film. Wilde, who went topless in the 2006 drama Alpha Dog, tells the entertainment site:
There’s a little bit of nudity in this one. I feel like if I feel really safe and if I feel like the story calls for it then I’m not so shy.
Set in the mid 19th century, Cowboys & Aliens follows gunslinger Jake Lonergan (Craig), Ella Verity (Wilde), and Colonel Dolarhyde (Ford) as they set out to stop an alien race from enslaving humankind. Damon Lindelof (“LOST”) wrote the script with go-to collaborators Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci.
The film costars Sam Rockwell (Iron Man 2), Walton Goggins (Predators), Clancy Brown (”LOST”), Abigail Spencer (Haunting in Georgia), Keith Carradine (“Dexter”), Paul Dano (Taking Lives), Ana de la Reguera (Nacho Libre), and Adam Beach (Flags of Our Fathers).
(Update: The butt has been cut. Despite the above quote, there is sadly no visible Olivia Wilde nudity. Fun film nonetheless though)
Paula Marshall, the pretty and unlucky star of such failed TV shows as “Gary Unmarried,” “Hidden Hills,” “Snoops,” “Cupid,” “Wild Oats,”and so-on-and-so-on, has been cast as wicked fairy godmother Malificent on ABC’s new fairy tale themed series “Once Upon a Time.” Uh-oh.
Created by “LOST” executive producers Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, the show follows Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison), daughter of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Prince Charming (Josh Dallas), as she’s beckoned to the small New England town of Storybrooke to help free it from an Evil Queen’s (Lana Parilla) curse.
Marshall has guest starred on a few successful shows, namely “Californication,” “House,” “Nip/Tuck,” and “Veronica Mars.” Her genre creds include the Lindsay Lohan vehicle I Know Who Killed Me, 1993’s Warlock: The Armageddon, and 1992’s surprisingly good Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth, for which she went topless (just saying).
Writer/director Eli Roth is teaming up with the dreadful folks at Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood to create Eli Roth’s Hostel: Hunting Season, a gruesome new maze inspired by the sadistic and deadly exploits of the Elite Hunting organization seen in Roth’s terrifying Hostel films.
Read what’s in store:
“Hostel: Hunting Season,” for which Universal will build elaborate sets re-creating locations in Slovakia, will mark the horror auteur and star’s first effort at transforming his screen work into a live theme park experience.
The maze will re-imagine the film’s dehumanizing torture chambers and send guests on a spiraling journey through the corrupt halls of Elite Hunting’s torture factory. Elite Hunting, a secret society that tortures and kills American youth for sport in exchange for large sums of money, will prowl the factory and prey on its many maze visitors.
Roth, who also directed the 2002 flesh-eating bacteria frightener Cabin Fever and produced last year’s box office hit The Last Exorcism, is also threatening to participate in the maze as a torturer.
He warns:
I am so happy to join forces with the creative team at Universal. Our collaborative vision to bring ‘Hostel’ to life will give both fans of my movie and horror fans a scare they could never have imagined.
People will have a chance to experience some exact moments from their favorite ‘Hostel’ scenes, along with some new surprises.
This is something I’ve dreamed of for years. I may even dress up and appear in the maze one night as a torturer. So when you say ‘I scared you,’ you can literally mean that I scared you!
Halloween Horror Nights runs on selected nights from Sept. 23-thru-Oct. 31. This year’s frights will also include a maze based on Uni’s upcoming prequel to John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi classic The Thing.

Photos of Kate Beckinsale on the Toronto set of husband/director Len Wiseman’s upcoming remake of Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic Total Recall have hit the web. The images show the 38-year-old British stunner shooting scenes inside a futuristic cop car and strutting her stuff on a highway while strapped.
Total Recall stars Colin Farrell as Doug Quaid, a factory worker who starts to believe he’s a spy when his real memories and those he purchased from an implanting company start to blur together. Beckinsale is his double-crossing wife Lori Quaid—a part memorably played by Sharon Stone in the original.
Costarring in the film are Bryan Cranston (”Breaking Bad”) as politico villain Vilos Cohaagen, Bill Nighy (Pirates of the Caribbean) as resistance leader Quatto, and the gorgeous Jessica Biel as prostitute/resistance fighter Melina.

Universal Pictures has officially launched the first trailer for director Peter Berg’s $200 million alien-invasion actioner Battleship. Loosely based on the Hasbro board game, the film stars Taylor Kitsch (Snakes on a Plane) as a hot-headed Naval officer forced to stop fucking swimsuit-model-turned-actress Brooklyn Decker to fight off seafaring extraterrestrials.
Battleship costars Liam Neeson (The Phantom Menace), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Tadanobu Asano (Ichi the Killer), Josh Pence (Dark Knight Rises), Jesse Plemons (“Friday Night Lights”), Peter MacNicol (“Ally McBeal”), pop singer Rhianna, and Brooklyn Decker’s big beautiful breasts. Look for it in theaters on May 18, 2012.
The two-part, four-hour miniseries tells the tale of a Mike Noonan (Brosnan), a widower who gets mixed up with an attractive young widow (George) while visiting the lakeside retreat he once shared with his wife (Gish)—whom he still sees in his dreams.
George made both her acting and nude debuts in New Line Cinema’s 1998 sci-fi mind-bender Dark City. Her first starring role came in 2005 as tormented wife Katy Lutz in the Platinum Dunes remake of The Amityville Horror.
George’s additional creds include David Slade’s 30 Days of Night, John Stockwell’s Turistas, and Christopher Smith’s acclaimed time-loop thriller Triangle. The sexy 34-year-old shelia will next be seen in Julian Gilbey’s survival frightenerA Lonely Place to Die.
Bag of Bones rolls camera next month in Nova Scotia, Canada. The film will air on A&E.
Model and Cosplay enthusiast Adrianne Curry was booted from Comic-Con this weekend for wearing a sexy Aeon Flux costume that revealed more ass than is permitted by law. The 28-year-old, five-foot-ten stunner was asked to cover up and made to change into something a little less skimpy before being allowed back into the convention.
She tweeted:
Just got stopped by a ton of cops…my costume is illegal…the butt….sigh
Curry wrapped a red tee around her tush and strolled through crowded streets back to her hotel wear she squeezed herself into a painted-on Imperial Admiral outfit before returning to the show (see the gallery below).
Curry came to fame after winning season one of the reality-competition show “America’s Next Top Model” and starring in the VH1 reality series “The Surreal Life” and “My Fair Brady,” which followed her then-marriage to “Brady Bunch” star Christopher Knight.
These days, she’s best known for tweeting sexy pics like these and these. God’s work I believe it’s called.
Universal Pictures held the world premiere for director Jon Favreau’s Cowboys & Aliens at Comic-Con last night at the San Diego Civic Theatre. Joining Favreau for the festivities were the film’s stars Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, Harrison Ford (with wife Calista Flockhart, aka Ally McBeal), Abigail Spencer, Sam Rockwell, and sexy senorita Ana De La Regera.
Also seen at the hootenanny were geek-dream Olivia Munn, Yvonne Strahovski (“Chuck”), Nina Dobrev (“Vampire Diaries”), Seth Green with actress wife Clare Grant, Kaitlin Olson (“Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), Gillian Jacobs and Joel McHale (“Community), Candace Bailey (“Robot Chicken”) and Cowboy producers Steven Spielberg and Ron Howard.
Joe Roth, producer of Universal Pictures’ soon-to-start-shooting Snow White and the Huntsman, describes the Rupert Sanders-directed project as being a “tough, rough male and female action movie” on the scale of Lord of the Rings.
The film finds Kristen Stewart (Twilight Saga) playing Snow White as a brooding warrior-princess caught in a love triangle with two dwarfs—or something like that. I just really hope the movie isn’t so hardcore that they can’t include a scene in which cute woodland critters help Snow White put on her armor.
Snow White and the Huntsman costars Charlize Theron as the Queen, Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman, and Sam Claflin as the Prince. Images of the actors in costume were revealed at Comic-Con, but you can peep them right here:
