Oscar-winner Marcia Gay Harden has joined the cast of Universal and Focus Features’ erotic adaptation of EL James‘s Fifty Shades Of Grey . She’ll play Dr. Grace Trevelyan Grey, the adoptive physician mama of emotionally damaged billionaire Christian Grey and his siblings Mia and Elliot. Dr. Grace Grey is the pediatrician who cares for 4-year-old Christian when his birth mother (or “the crack whore,” as Fifty Shades readers may know her) dies. She’s also the one who inadvertently introduces Christian to his cougar lover Elena from whom he learns his BDSM ways. Harden recently wrapped Woody Allen‘s Magic in the Moonlight and stars on HBO’s The Newsroom and ABC’s Trophy Wife. Jamie Dornan has been set to play Christian opposite Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele in the pic directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson, which will now hit theaters February 13, 2015. Rita Ora joined Fifty Shades yesterday as the production fleshes out its supporting cast, which also includes Eloise Mumford as Kate

Though it has stayed quiet recently as other big movies got their hype machines geared up, The Amazing Spider–Man 2 is ready to leap back into the game with a series of new images, a huge banner showing off some intriguing elements and a second trailer promised for Thursday. "I wanted to create something operatic, something huge,” Webb tells the paper’s site. “And if anything, this film is about the greatest battle Spider-Man's ever had to face. You'll understand and feel the intensity and the overwhelming nature of the obstacles in Spider-Man's path." The franchise’s Peter Parker, Andrew Garfield , also chimed in: "Our story deals a lot in choice. The power that you attain as a human being, it is your choice about what to do with it. And what's great about Spider-Man is he went from having no power, and the idea that absolute power corrupts absolutely, that is an incredibly rich idea to explore." Well, you know what they say about great pow

George Clooney and his Monuments Men have been pushed back, out of the Oscar release date tidepool and into a less awardsy February slot, and the movie's new trailer hints as to the whys and wherefores of that decision. This promo sells it as an unashamed, action-packed wartime caper with lots of Oceansy chemistry from its cast and a serious message worn lightly. Set in World War II, The Monuments Men finds an unlikely squad of recruits culled from museums, galleries and universities for a special mission in liberated Europe. They're tasked with braving the front lines of combat and stopping priceless works of art, architecture and other artefacts from being stolen or destroyed. Not only did they have to go up against the Nazis, but they also had to try to convince the Allied troops not to attack certain buildings: no easy task for a team of volunteers including art historians and curators. The cast includes Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, John Goodman, Jean Dujar

On March 13, 2013, Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas asked fans of the acclaimed, gone-too-soon teen detective drama starring Kristen Bell to Kickstart a big screen revival. Fitting, then, that Marshmallow Nation will get to see what their $5.7 million paid for on the one year anniversary of the groundbreaking fundraising campaign: In an exclusive interview, Thomas tells EW that Warner Bros. will release the movie — simply titled Veronica Mars — on March 14, 2014. “Warner Bros. had this date circled for quite some time and hoped it would stay open,” Thomas tells EW. “Luckily, no other teen detective movie decided to open in the middle of March.” The original distribution plan called for Veronica Mars to get a limited engagement run in just a few cities before becoming more widely available via video on demand and other digital platforms. But Thomas reports that Warner Bros. will now give the film a wider, nationwide release (number of screens still TBD) and let the marketplace de

Ready to do for sea battles featuring sweaty, oiled-up blokes what Zack Snyder’s film did for land battles featuring… er… sweaty, oiled-up blokes, 300 sequel Rise Of An Empire is here to lay siege to your eyes once again with a fresh trailer. With warrior King Leonidas and his brave soldiers dead, we follow what happens when Themistokles ( Sullivan Stapleton ) swears vengeance in the name of the mourning Queen Gorgo ( Lena Headey , who soon picks up weapons of her own) and takes arms against the invading Persians. There’s also something of an origin story for Persian god-wannabe Xerxes ( Rodrigo Santoro ), who himself deals with the death of his father by falling under the ambitious influence of naval commander Artemisia ( Eva Green ), dabbling in dark powers and becoming the powerful, crazed, gold-coated monster we first met in 300. Naturally, after defeating Leonidas, he’s ready to conquer all of Greece, so Themistokles will have to stop him, and that means fighting on the

The making of Fast & Furious 7 was happening on an accelerated pace to meet next summer’s July 11 release date, but now the movie has come to a complete stop. The unexpected and tragic car-crash death of Paul Walker has led Universal Pictures to put a hold on the movie in mid-production. Donna Langley, chairman of universal Pictures, told EW this week, “We have half a movie shot and we are working through it.” The studio has now decided to call a halt. “Right now, all of us at Universal are dedicated to providing support to Paul’s immediate family and our extended Fast & Furious family of cast, crew and filmmakers,” a studio rep announced today in a statement. “At this time we feel it is our responsibility to shut down production on Fast & Furious 7 for a period of time so we can assess all options available to move forward with the franchise.” Of course, nothing matters as much as the loss of life from Saturday’s accident, which killed not only Walker but his fri

Win Tickets To An Advance For Screening For Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues on December 17, 2013 at 7:00PM in San Francisco. As our story begins, Ron ( Will Ferrell ) has, once again, been eclipsed by his smarter, more capable ladylove Veronica ( Christina Applegate ). Thankfully for him, new 24-hour global news network GNN is looking for a few good men to join its New York City ranks — providing the perfect opportunity for Ron and the old Channel 4 news team ( Paul Rudd, Dave Koechner, and Steve Carell ) to get the old band back together. There, they’ll bring a new sense of fluffy fun to a stuffy network run by no-nonsense Linda Jackson ( Meagan Good ) — who might just be the one lady who can help Ron mend his broken heart.
