As this new trailer for The Boxtrolls shows, the movie’s titular trolls aren’t the likeliest of superheroes. They live underground, feast on grubs and probably use Ghostbuster II’s slime river for bath times. The MSN-hosted promo reveals them in all their endearingly mucky glory as they go about their garbage-collecting business below their town’s cobbled streets, like a cadre of horror Wombles. The Boxtrolls is the third feature-length effort from those stop-motion whizzes at Laika. Like ParaNorman and Coraline , it promises a meticulously crafted 3D gallivant through a world filled with dark humour and loving lunacy – all seen through a child’s point of view.

We’ll start this story off with a spoiler warning for those who somehow missed last year’s box office barnstormer Iron Man 3 and would cry foul at us revealing anything. If you’re at all worried about spoilers, check out another story. Perhaps this one? For those still with us: Marvel has revealed full details about its new One-Shot, called All Hail The King , and starring Ben Kingsley . All Hail The King will pick up the story of “ The Mandarin ”, AKA narcotics, booze, girls and footie-happy actor Trevor Slattery, who was part of Aldrich Killian ( Guy Pearce )’s big plan in the latest Tony Stark adventure. The short will continue the story of Slattery, sent to prison for his part in the scheme. "' The Further Adventures of Trevor ' was something we had talked about on set all the time,” IM3 co-writer Drew Pearce tells EW . “And when we sat down to talk about what the short would be, it was executive producer Stephen Broussard, and Kevin Feige and myself and Joss Wh

The man who brought the world the Academy Award-winning Tsotsi and X-Men Origins: Wolverine , Gavin Hood , has a big challenge on his hands in adapting a much-loved series of sci-fi novels with Ender's Game , but at least he's passed the first challenge: the teaser poster test. Asa Butterfield (Hugo, Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang) as the film's lead, Ender Wiggin, squaring off in space against another ship. No look at his face, no mention of his big-name co-stars like Harrison Ford or Ben Kingsley , no guns or blades or anything stereotypically postery. Just... him. And an awkward and somewhat blunt tagline, sure, but if you leave that to one side for a moment it's a pretty impressive piece of postering. Ender’s Game, drawn from Orson Scott Card’s novel, takes place in the near future, where Earth is under threat from a hostile, insectoid alien race called the Formics. After two devastating attacks, the world’s forces have rallied to defend against the next

The man who brought the world the Academy Award-winning Tsotsi and X-Men Origins: Wolverine , Gavin Hood, has a big challenge on his hands in adapting a much-loved series of sci-fi novels with Ender's Game , but at least he's passed the first challenge: the teaser poster test. Doing exactly what a teaser poster should - i.e. tease you, but not in the playground bully way - it shows young Asa Butterfield (Hugo, Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang) as the film's lead, Ender Wiggin, squaring off in space against another ship. No look at his face, no mention of his big-name co-stars like Harrison Ford or Ben Kingsley , no guns or blades or anything stereotypically postery. Just... him.

With the film now ploughing through the post-production process ready for an October release, sci-fi novel adaptation Ender’s Game creeps ever closer. Today a new image from the film, focusing on Asa Butterfield’s Ender Wiggin and Hailee Steinfeld’s Petra Arkanian has emerged online via fan site Enderwiggen.net . Ender’s Game , drawn from Orson Scott Card’s novel, takes place in the near future, where Earth is under threat from a hostile, insectoid alien race called the Formics. After two devastating attacks, the world’s forces have rallied to defend against the next, setting up Battle Schools to pick and train the most gifted children in the art of war. One of those, a shy but strategically talented lad named Ender, is plucked from school and quickly earns the respect of his peers and senior officers, including Colonel Graff ( Harrison Ford ) and wartime legend Major Rackham ( Ben Kingsley ). Of course, it’s not as simple as that – nothing ever is in wartime – and soon Ende

Jennifer Aniston is confirmed to join Mark Duplass and Ben Kingsley in surreal sci-fi comedy " Convention ." Aniston had long been rumored to be circling the project, which locked Duplass and Kingsley last May. Aniston will play Duplass' sister as the pair inadvertently rip a hole in the fabric of the universe after he invents a five-sided box, to revolutionize the box storage world, which defies the laws of physics. Kingsley plays a maniacal, rival box magnate. The film, described as "Kaufman-esque," is the sophomore feature effort of commercials helmer Justin Reardon, who recently finished lensing his debut feature "A Many Splintered Thing," starring Chris Evans and Michelle Monaghan. "Convention" is scripted by Christopher Painter, and produced by Paul Schiff and Tai Duncan. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Variety

THE DICTATOR Movie Review By: RAMA How did RAMA think this film compared to other Sacha Baron Cohen film? Sacha Baron Cohen is back and hilarious! THE DICTATOR cracks me up and that’s a good thing considering Bruno was a huge let down. Half political satire, half social commentary, and all around comedy, Cohen’s brand of rude humor at times feels like a series of sketches and though THE DICTATOR will not get you laughing the entire time, the character and the concept themselves will tickle your funny bones, one thing for sure, this is definitely a movie not for the uptight and the easily offended.. The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It’s not that much mockumentary style this time around, which I appreciate because after Bruno and Borat, that style does get old. Just the character himself, General Aladeen, is brilliant in my book, Cohen has always been skilled when it comes to
