Bloody Disgusting, however, is reporting that young actor Matt Shively is currently in talks to lead the mostly unknown cast as a character named Alex. We already know that "The River's" Zack Estrin will be drafting the screenplay, which probably features a lot of screaming and shaky cam.

Genre Favorite Dee Wallace Chats About Rob Zombie's 'Lords of Salem'
Genre scream queen Dee Wallace recently spoke to Dread Central during her promotion for "Exit Humanity," and she had nothing but kind words for director Rob Zombie who cast the veteran actress in his upcoming "The Lords of Salem." The film centers on a DJ and her pals who head to the witchy city of Salem after a mysterious package arrives on their doorstep. When they show up, all hell breaks loose in the Halloween city. Wallace had this to say about the singer-filmmaker:
"Well, if you're a horror fan and a Rob Zombie fan, then you'll love this movie. It's very different cinematically than all of his last movies, and the last shot of the movie is worth the price of admission alone. Rob was so down-to-earth and easy to work with; he wrote the part for me. I play Sonny, a bubbly, self-help guru who finds herself in some trouble. It was a lot of fun."

The Best Ensembles Of 2012

It's hard enough for a movie to introduce one character that the audience cares about. Putting forward an entire cast that will engage the viewer is another thing entirely.

This year, a number of the biggest films relied on the effectiveness of their entire ensemble to make their impact. While some fell flat, others rose to the challenge and succeeded because of it.

But which ensemble is your favorite? Voice your opinion, and vote in the poll below.

"The Hunger Games"
One of the year's biggest movies also managed to have one of the biggest casts. Jennifer Lawrence lead a highly qualified group of actors to the fictional world of Panem for the 74th annual Hunger Games. When an overly made-up Elizabeth Banks and a drunken Woody Harrelson are just two of your characters, you know it's something special.

"Zero Dark Thirty"
Containing over one hundred speaking roles and one hell of a performance from guaranteed Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain, Kathryn Bigelow's account of the search for Osama bin Lama features support acting all around from actors as varied as Joel Edgerton, Edgar Ramirez, and Chris Pratt.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2"
How often do you get to see a group of your favorite actors get their heads ripped off? Well, it happened during a trippy Alice vision in "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2," and it was delightful. It takes real acting ability to make you care so much when someone's head gets torn from their shoulders, and cared we did!

"The Avengers"
There was no other cast that defined film in 2012 like the finally-assembled Avengers. We waited years and years for the greatest heroes of the Marvel Universe to united and take down some bad guys together, and against all odds, they did not disappoint.

"The Dark Knight Rises"
Starting with "The Dark Knight," Christopher Nolan turned the "superhero flick" into an "ensemble film." The tradition continued with the finale to his Batman trilogy, adding many of his "Inception" players into the mix.

"Skyfall"
A James Bond film typically centers on 007 with most of the peripheral characters taking on minor roles to either hinder or assist him in his adventure. For the latest entry, however, each character became essential to the overall architecture, and the finished product was absolutely fantastic.

First Look At 'Ender's Game': Asa Butterfield And Harrison Ford Face Off

One of next year's most highly anticipated films, "Ender's Game," has been "highly anticipated" by the fans of Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel for nearly thirty years, but the long-awaited adaptation is finally coming into view.

Entertainment Weekly got an exclusive first look at Asa Butterfield, formerly of Martin Scorsese's "Hugo," and Harrison Ford facing off at the Battle School.

Click past the jump for the full picture and excerpts from an interview with director Gavin Hood.

To create a believable sense of tension between Butterfield's Ender and Ford's Colonel Graff, it was important to strike the right balance on set. "The relationship between [Harrison] and Asa was very close," Hood said, "but he didn't overly befriend him off the set. He helped Asa by allowing that slight sense of intimidation to be there."

As always when working with children on a movie, production has to revolve around their limited schedules. "The kids have to attend school for at least three hours of class every day, plus do homework, so you can only shoot with someone like Asa for five hours of your day," Hood said. "There was no time for fooling about or not knowing your lines or being unprepared."

"Ender's Game" opens in theaters on November 1.

Japanese 'Jack Reacher' Trailer Takes Aim

"Jack Reacher" has been floating somewhat out in the ether of action movies. None of the trailers have really fleshed out the plot, which comes from Lee Child's ninth book about the military police officer turned super tough vigilante. Instead, they've mostly focused on how Tom Cruise, his plaid shirts, and his car.

Now a Japanese trailer of all things has finally enlightened us to the full scope of the story and the Werner Herzog at the center of it.

Seth MacFarlane Plans Western Comedy As 'Ted' Follow-Up

By Hannah Soo Park

It's been a pretty good year for Seth MacFarlane. On top of keeping his hit TV series, he's managed to make box office magic out of a talking teddy bear film and nab the illustrious Oscars hosting gig. While the TV mastermind could take a moment to bask in all the success, it looks like he's not resting anytime soon'the newly-minted film writer and director is now looking to lend his signature absurd humor to a Western comedy flick.

The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reports that MacFarlane's follow-up to "Ted will be "A Million Ways to Die In The West," which he scripted with "Ted" co-writers Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild. Plot details are few to none right now, but the project has been described as a "'Blazing Saddles'-style" movie" with a humorous take on "just how dangerous and painful life really was in the late 1800s." And what's "Blazing Saddles" without a seductress? We've also been told that the script calls for a romantic female lead.

Sources say that on top of co-writing and directing, MacFarlane also plans to star in the film. Assuming that he'll make an appearance in human form, this would be MacFarlane's first live-action appearance. The mastermind of voices has had past movie roles in the form of animated creatures (a stuffed teddy bear in "Ted" and Johann Krauss in Guillermo del Toro's "Hellboy II: The Golden Army"). You know, not that we'd mind if he'd take on an animated snarky buffalo.

This isn't the only film project MacFarlane will be adding to his resume. Along with making a "Ted" sequel, he's also reportedly working on bringing "Family Guy" to the big screen.

"A Million Ways to Die in the West" is scheduled for a summer 2013 opening.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Poster Evokes 'Dark Knight Rises' Imagery

J.J. Abrams and co. are finally, finally initiating their plan to reveal "Star Trek Into Darkness" to the world. After years of speculating when the crew of the Starship Enterprise will return and who they will face when they do, we are now just days away from not only the first trailer for the sci-fi sequel, but also a 9-minute prologue in front of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."

Today, however, the first poster for "Into Darkness" debuted, giving us our first official look at the mysterious villain, played by Benedict Cumberbatch, whose role was teased in the official plot synopsis last week. From the looks of the poster, he definitely seems like "an unstoppable force of terror."

Check out the full poster after the jump!

Well, they're definitely going of "Nolan-esque" on this one. While the poster clearly borrows concepts from both the "Inception" and "Dark Knight Rises" one-sheet, this isn't the first evocation of the fanboy-beloved director's work. Early talk about the sequel pegged "The Dark Knight" as the ideal which all big genre movie sequels should aim for, and it looks like "Star Trek Into Darkness" is already taking that advice pretty literally.

Official synopsis:

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes Star Trek Into Darkness. When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

"Star Trek Into Darkness" opens on May 17, 2013.

'Breaking Dawn' Narrowly Takes Box Office From 'Skyfall'

FROM MTV NEWS

It was a hard-fought battle for box office supremacy, but at the end of the day, it's still very hard to kill a vampire.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" once again claimed the top spot at theaters for the third week in a row, barely beating out Britain's finest, James Bond in "Skyfall." The holdovers dominated in a soft weekend for new releases.

The finale of Stephenie Meyers' vampire series took in an additional $17.4 million, bringing its worldwide total past the $700 million mark, while "Skyfall" came up just short with $17 million.

"Killing Them Softly," the latest from Brad Pitt and director Andrew Dominik, provided journalists with generous fodder for bad headline puns, debuting in seventh place with $7 million.

'Monsters University' Posters Promote Higher Learning, Scaring

Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan have got plenty of school spirit when it comes to the University of Fear.

A new poster for "Monsters University" shows the two monsters wearing letter jackets and hanging out with big smiles on their faces. Just like old "Monsters, Inc." times, except we already know that this movie tells the story of how Mike and Sully became friends. Kudos to Disney for having Mike stand on fantastically titled University of Fear text books like "Scareomics" and "I'm Scary, You're Scary."

It's nice that the style of this poster does hearken back to the "Monsters, Inc." days, since it's serving as a prequel to that film. "Monsters University" seems like it's shaping up to be a relatively different movie, but as long as its core remains the same as its predecessor we'll be happy.

Five Reasons To See 'Killing Them Softly'

In the five years since its release, "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" has become an unlike but entirely deserving cult classic. Now Brad Pitt has reteamed with his former director, Andrew Dominik, to adapt George V. Higgins' 70s era novel "Cogan's Trade" as the 2008-set Recession drama "Killing Them Softly."

Here are your five reasons to see "Killing Them Softly."

Brad Pitt
Pitt has become what I like to call a "secret great actor." Rarely is he anything but superb'and "Killing Them Softly" is no exception'but what people think of most when it comes to Pitt is his celebrity status and someone who is more famous for being famous than for their talent. Here, like in "The Assassination of Jesse James," Pitt turns in standout work that deserves more consideration than we're inclined to give someone as well-known.

It Wears Its Heart On Its Sleeve
The main complaint you'll see if you read reviews of "Killing Them Softly" is that the parallels to the 2008 financial collapse are too on-the-nose. While an unfortunately valid point, the movie's political agenda at times can feel refreshing. When was the last time a film starring one of Hollywood's biggest stars not only made you think about something going on right here, right now, but also had something to say about it? Andrew Dominik is clearly mad as hell, and his film leaves no doubt in the viewers mind to hint otherwise.

The "Killing" Isn't That Soft
One sequence in particular will be worth discussing immediately after, but since it's a spoiler, I won't mention to details here. Let's just say a character eats it in way that's more beautiful than 99 percent of the scenes you'll see at the theater this year.

George V. Higgins
What does work delightfully well is Dominik's evocation of the world of author George V. Higgins, the man behind the phenomenal "The Friends of Eddie Coyle." When Dominik sticks to the chatty conversations between low-lifes and filters them through his beautiful cinematic lens, what's left is the making of a modern classic. This is probably best realized in the conversations between Pitt's Jackie Cogan and Richard Jenkins' Driver. Both actors have such an uncanny ability to deliver smart and fresh dialogue in a way that makes the material seem even smarter and fresher.

The Final Line
Just when you're beginning to question whether or not Dominik actually has something to say instead of just pointing out obvious parallels, Pitt delivers a devastating monologue, which seals the deal and makes for one explosive ending.

'Gangster Squad' Featurette Goes To The Next Level

by Hannah Soo Park

It's time to move on from the classic gangster flicks we've come to know and love. Because if there's one message we took away from the new 'Gangster Squad' featurette, it's that the movie will be our generation's defining gangster film.

The video, which hit the web yesterday (via Apple), features a few never-before-seen scenes from the film, with the same gunplay and fedoras we've already seen in previous trailers. But what truly makes it fresh are the behind-the-scenes clips of cast and crew interviews, and on-set action footage.

Director Ruben Fleischer and a few members of the film's all-star cast, including Ryan Gosling, Anthony Mackie and Giovanni Ribisi, discuss their hopes that the period crime drama will join the ranks of 'The Godfather,' 'The Untouchables,' and other iconic gangster masterpieces. 'It's taking gangster films to the next level,' says Ribisi in an interview snippet. They make some pretty bold statements here, but judging from the impressive cuts we've seen so far, we're not ready to rule their claims out just yet.

Set in Los Angeles during the 1940s and 1950s, 'Gangster Squad' follows real-life mobster Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) as he evades the Los Angeles Police Department task force that's out to get him. The movie also stars Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte, Emma Stone, Mireille Enos, Michael Patrick and Michael Peña.

The movie's original summer 2012 release was pushed back following the Aurora shootings. A scene which involved mobsters opening fire on an audience in Grauman's Chinese Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard was reshot.

'Gangster Squad' opens on January 11, 2013.

'Riddick' Gets An International Poster

It kind of came out of nowhere, but there is a new Riddick movie starring Vin Diesel scheduled to come out next year. Creatively titled "Riddick," the new film will be the third movie to feature the "Pitch Black" character.

Though there's no specific release date yet, the very first international poster for "Riddick" just arrived on the web, via ComingSoon.

The one sheet doesn't offer much insight into the film, except that Vin Diesel is going to be in it as Riddick and he wears goggles a lot.

James Cameron Wants To Shoot 'Avatar' Sequels In Late 2013

Movie franchises like "Star Wars," "The Avengers," and "Justice League" seem to be grabbing every other headline these days; so much so that it's been easy to forget that James Cameron is currently planning two new films to follow up the biggest movie of all time.

We knew that at least two more "Avatar" movies are in the pipeline from Cameron, with potential for a fourth if the director needs more money to dive into the ocean, but now he's shed some light on when things might start rolling.

Speaking with The West Australian (via The Playlist), Cameron said that he's currently writing the scripts at his recently purchased New Zealand farm and hopes to be done by February. The ultimate goal is to begin filming by late 2013.

"I want to get these scripts nailed down, I don't want to be writing the movie in post-production," Cameron said. "We kind of did that on the first picture, I ended up cutting out a lot of scenes and so on and I don't want to do that again."

With Cameron now living in New Zealand, it should be no surprise that he made it out to the premiere of Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," which utilized controversial high frame-rate technology. Cameron also told the paper that depending on how audiences respond to "The Hobbit," he may adopt the tech for "Avatar 2 and 3."

"If there is acceptance of 48, then that will pave the way for 'Avatar' [sequels] to take advantage of it," Cameron said. "We charged out ahead on 3-D with 'Avatar,' now Peter's doing it with 'The Hobbit.' It takes that kind of bold move to make change."

George Clooney Teams With 'Bourne' Director, 'Argo' Writer For Crime Drama

Tempting as it is, try to resist the urge to tell the following news to "Argo" eff itself: "Bourne Supremacy" and "Ultimatum" director Paul Greengrass is teaming up with the writer of Ben Affleck's hostage drama and none other than George Clooney for a crime drama all their own.

Variety has the news that Greengrass, Clooney and "Argo" writer Chris Terrio are joining forces for an untitled crime drama. Details on the title and plot are completely under wraps; for now, all that's known is the film is "set in the world of New York criminal syndicates."

Honestly, that's more than enough information for the time being, as the talent alone is enough to demand attention: Greengrass behind the lens, Clooney producing (alongside his Smoke House producing partner Grant Heslov) and starring, Terrio on the script. With those ingredients in place, what more do you need to know right now?

Colin Trevorrow Was Actually Talking About A 'Flight Of The Navigator' Remake

By Hannah Soo Park

And another "Star Wars" directing rumor bites the dust. Internet buzz placing Colin Trevorrow in the front-running to direct "Star Wars :Episode VII" have officially been put to rest, with the "Safety Not Guaranteed" director attached to another '80s sci-fi favorite.

This past June, Trevorrow made comments about taking on a potential project with a "mythology that many people love." But while many speculated that he was referring to the upcoming "Star Wars" installment, news broke (via Variety) that Trevorrow and screenwriter Derek Connolly are actually in talks to rewrite time-travel flick "Flight of the Navigator," with the former in line to direct the film.

Directed by Randal Klesier, the 1986 version follows a 12-year-old boy who disappears from Earth without having aged a day'and it just happens to be that an alien spaceship has crashed nearby.

He may not have the burden of having to live up the standards of uber-devoted "Star Wars" fans, but that doesn't mean Trevorrow isn't up for a challenge'many who grew up in the '80s see "Navigator" as a beloved childhood classic. And while the film "meant a lot to Colin as a kid," Connolly says he doesn't have the same sentimental ties. "It wasn't a seminal movie of my childhood but I remember liking it," he told Variety. "It'll be good to have some balance so it's not two fanboys writing the movie."

But we're not too worried about this one. With Trevorrow's proven eye for quirky sci-fi and love for the original version, we're pretty sure he'll knock this one out of the park.
