Twentieth Century Fox is declaring “War” on Valentine’s Day – moving up by three days its comedy-action film THIS MEANS WAR , to Tuesday, February 14. This audacious strike comes on the heels of outstanding test screenings and strong word of mouth. This Means War Trailer- Commented Bruce Snyder, president of domestic distribution: “Starting Valentine's Day, we're making WAR, not love. We’re armed and ready with the perfect movie.

This was a new feeling for George Lucas . He made a movie about a plucky band of freedom fighters who battle an evil empire — a movie loaded with special effects like no one had seen before. Then he showed it to executives from all the Hollywood studios. And every one of them said, “Nope.” One studio’s executives didn’t even show up for the screening. “Isn’t this their job?” Lucas says, astonished. “Isn’t their job at least to see movies? It’s not like some Sundance kid coming in there and saying, ‘I’ve got this little movie — would you see it?’ If Steven (Spielberg) or I or Jim Cameron or Bob Zemeckis comes in there, and they say, ‘We don’t even want to bother to see it. . . .’ ” Lucas sighs. It’s true that the movie, “ Red Tails ,” is a biopic about the Tuskegee Airmen rather than a space opera starring the Skywalker clan. But the snub implied that Lucas’s pop-culture collateral — six “Star Wars” movies, four “Indiana Jones” movies, the effects shop Industrial Light and Magic and

It's Johnny Depp and Tim Burton's eighth collaboration, a big-budget film based on a TV show that no-one remembers (at least outside the US) and which features a motley crew of vampires, witches and supernatural weirdos. Dark Shadows , in other words, is a perfect subject for both star and director, and from these photos it looks like we can expect more of their particular brand of off-kilter charm. 1972-set film version. The story focuses on Barnabas Collins ( Depp ), who was transformed into a vampire by a jilted lover (Eva Green's witch Angelique) way back in the 1700s and buried. He's just been dug up, and attempts to reintegrate with his descendants, led by Michelle Pfeiffer's Elizabeth and Jonny Lee Miller's Roger - despite the fact that Angelique is still around and still not in a forgiving mood. Said screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith, "Tim and Johnny took a long time explaining exactly why it had to be 1972. 1969 was too early and 1973 was too

Postproduction on a Marvel superhero movie can be a gigantic endeavor full of special effects, reshoots, and intense promotional duties. Luckily, Joss Whedon seems to be weathering the workload just fine. Though he wrote and directed The Avengers , coming out in May, Whedon has already found the time to shoot a low-budget update of Much Ado About Nothing , and now actress Abigail Spencer (perhaps best known as Don Draper's former mistress Miss Farrell on Mad Men) says she's just signed on for a brand-new Whedon project. "His next movie, I start that next month," Spencer revealed to us at Saturday's Art of Elysium gala in Los Angeles. "It’s my first time [doing a project with Whedon], but I’ve always wanted to work with him. I’m so excited to do it." What can we expect from the secret project?
