Iron Man 3 has been churning out posters quite heavily and the trend does not appear to be stopping anytime soon with the release of this new character-packed poster promoting the film's IMAX release.

Does it preview any new characters? Nope. Does it give us a glimpse of any new scenes? Nope. Does it provide any new insight into the film itself? Nope. So, what does it do? Well, it essentially strings together the last Tony/Pepper poster with some of the character posters that were released throughout the month of February into a crowded, eye-popping hybrid that may very well be the movie poster equivalent of those "Harlem Shake" videos.

Indeed, all the side players (that we know of, thus far) are present in the background: Don Cheadle in his Iron Patriot armor, Guy Pearce as sinister spray-tanned scientist, Aldrich Killian, Sir Ben Kingsley decked-out for his auspiciously antagonistic turn as signature baddie, The Mandarin, a few strays from Tony's voluminous Iron Army, and someone who I'm guessing is the one and only Helicopter Man! -- Uh, no, that's just a helicopter. Nevermind.

Iron Man 3 brings this kickin' shindig to theaters on May 3. Check out the full poster below and pay homage to the Photoshop Gods.

The Wolverine has officially released a set of new photos showing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine looking moody and alone, which for him, is simply looking normal.

With director, James Mangold having just dropped the news that the long-awaited TRAILER for the X-Man's summer solo sequel will debut on March 27 online and at theaters in 3D and 2D with G.I. Joe: Retaliation the following weekend, it seems that the film's hype machine is about to be activated. In the meantime, we have these new photos at which to gawk.

The most intriguing of the bunch (seen above) gives us a nice glimpse of Logan in Japan with unsheathed adamantium, having already shish-kabobed some poor bastard. Our unknown victim either represented some bad business with ninja organization, The Hand, or was simply trying to sell Logan a timeshare near Mount Fuji and got a bit too pushy in his pitch. Either way, it seems that this formal affair, possibly a funeral, which had Logan and some background people dressed in black got interrupted with this sudden shanking. -- I guess it's all in a day's work when you're Wolverine.

The other two photos seem to have Logan looking glum amidst the elements of rain and snow. Although, the shot of our melancholy mutant getting drenched in the rain seems to prominently feature a plastic-covered camera on a crane, indicating that either it's behind-the-scenes, or that The Wolverine will take an experimental approach which breaks the fourth wall. (Although, how funny would that be? Logan talking to the camera like he's Ferris Beuller after eviscerating gangs of ninjas.)

The Wolverine does more to raise insurance premiums on Japanese properties than any natural disaster could when it hits theaters on July 26. Check out the rest of the pics below!

To either the delight or pure horror of fans, it seems that Escape from New York, the 1981 John Carpenter-directed dystopian crowd-pleaser will be the next classic franchise to get the remake treatment.

According to Deadline, legendary producer, Joel Silver, who's had a hand in some of the most iconic action films of the last 30 years, has hopped on board the long-planned project with Studio Canal for a reinvention of the film in which Kurt Russell played Snake Plissken, the eye-patch-sporting skull-cracking soldier of fortune. Snake is tasked with rescuing the U.S. President after his plane crashes into the boundaries of a future version of New York City that has been converted into a giant prison and ruled by a sinister Duke who's "a-number one." The incarcerated Snake is subsequently offered a full pardon if he can successfully infiltrate the locked-down metropolis and utilize his skills to get the job done. The film would be followed 15 years later in 1996 with the less-lauded Escape from L.A.

Things seemed to be moving for this remake project a few years back over at New Line with a script lined up and a vision for a more budget-friendly post-apocalyptic New York. That deal would expire and now that the rights to the project are in the hands of Studio Canal, Joel Silver has been given free reign to shape it to his will.

According to the report, Silver plans to provide an entirely new take on the story and even has ambitions of turning it into a proper trilogy. The formula of recent reboot success story, Rise of the Planet of the Apes seems to be the inspiration for this revival as it currently searches out a new screenwriter.

Obviously, a great deal about what was predicted in the 1981 film about "the future" of 1997, like a Third World War, the continued use of "secret cassette tapes," and prison cities never quite took place. Yet, all of those easily-fixable things are trivial compared to the most important task the creative minds of this film will undertake: Finding someone badass enough to fill Kurt Russell's shoes as Snake Plissken. That will be a task that's far easier said than done.

A new trailer has hit for the upcoming seventh season/series of the BBC's Doctor Who.

When we last left the good Doctor in the Christmas special, "The Snowmen," he learned that his previous chance encounter with a helpful, sexy-voiced Dalek in denial, would only be the first time his path would cross with the person he now refers to as "The Impossible Girl." Indeed, it seems that throughout time and space, this bold beauty manages to show up in some form or another in The Doctor's destinations and it's absolutely vexing him as to how or why?

The preview shows some of the adventures in store for Matt Smith's return as Gallifrey's galactic-globetrotter and Clara Oswin (Jenna-Louise Coleman), his new comely companion with a propensity for dying and mysteriously resurfacing. The action, as expected, appears intense and chock full of goodies like mace-wielding Cybermen, demonic top-hatted hellions, fiery explosions, and a creepy forest that even has The Doctor himself spooked like Shaggy. (Has this new adventure exposed an innate fear of trees?)

The moment is close at hand, Whovians! It's finally time to change your Amy Pond desktop wallpaper and pour a cold one on the ground for Rory Williams. Their fates have been sealed and we're moving on to a new set of adventures with another fate-driven companion with a ton of bizarre baggage that could carry universe-imploding implications. -- Although, she is kind of hot so...whatever.

Doctor Who re-materializes his TARDIS on BBC and BBC America on March 30. Check out the trailer below!

The Wolverine has revealed yet another one of the baneful beauties that will grace the summer solo return of Hugh Jackman's titular mutant mauler. This time, the sneak peak is of ravishing Russian actress, Svetlana Khodchenkova, who will play the character of Viper. -- Additionally, it appears that fans anxiously awaiting the film's long-delayed trailer may have a date to mark.

Over the weekend, director, James Mangold tweeted this sneak peak black and white portrait, just as he did for the two female leads of the film. However, unlike the roles of those two, the context of Viper's inclusion in the film is actually still somewhat cloudy. While The Wolverine is based on the 1982 Wolverine miniseries by Frank Miller, the inclusion of Viper and Will Yun Lee's The Silver Samurai (who in the comics is known to be her bodyguard and presumed lover,) seems to indicate that the film may also touch on events that took place in the miniseries' aftermath in subsequent issues of The Uncanny X-Men in 1983.

In the comic canon, Viper is the sinister, subversive seductress who rose through the ranks of criminal empire, HYDRA to become its leader, Madame Hydra. Of course, HYDRA only exists in Marvel Studios' movieverse and not this one by Fox, so that aspect will likely be left out. However, what's usable here is her connection to Wolverine, which stretches far into the past, back in the 1920's. They both studied under the shared mentor, Seraph, who just before her death, made Wolverine swear an oath of loyalty to Viper. Of course, Viper was no angel and even managed to slow her aging in a sinister deal with a mystical demon. (An aspect that probably won't be used in the film.) She eventually turns her various schemes towards Wolverine, including using his code of honor to blackmail him into a bizarre marriage. (As if this movie didn't already have romantic chaos for Logan.)

This all sounds juicy and awesome, but what about that TRAILER which should have come down the pike months ago? Well, according to Mangold, he will tweet a teaser for the trailer (or "tweazer" as he's calling it) on the 26th of this month. However, on the following day, Wednesday, March 27...yes, in the year, 2013, THE FULL TEASER TRAILER WILL BE RELEASED ONLINE!!! Plus, the spot will also hit the big screen in 3D and 2D on March 29 with the release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

The Wolverine makes you believe that Japan is full of deadly, gorgeous women who want to marry you at theaters on July 26.

It appears that the ever-growing army of alumni for next year's follow-up, X-Men: Days of Future Past continues to expand. This time, it will benefit from the presence of Daniel Cudmore, who will provide some steely reinforcement when he reprises his role as signature X-Man, Colossus.

Director, Bryan Singer, in keeping with his tradition of making Twitter his PR machine, confirmed the return of Cudmore to the X-Men fold by way of a photo showing his wall collage of cast head shots. While every cast member we know to be confirmed is there, the final three photos in the bottom-right row implies the addition of Cudmore, as well as the presence of a duo of X-franchise newbies in actress, Fan Bingbing and actor, BooBoo Stewart. (Both of which Singer may have cast simply for the pure amusement of whoever handles the credits.)

After playing the role of the reinforced Russian rager in 2003's X2 and 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, Cudmore has stuck closely to genre films, playing vampire enforcer, Felix in the Twilight movies (which also features new co-star BooBoo Stewart as werewolf, Seth), and will portray the mythical Manticore in this summer's sequel, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Now, after an 8 year hiatus, he will once again play Peter Rasputin (as it is spelled in the film canon), the brawling, buff, and brave young mutant whose powers grant him superhuman strength and endurance, as his body transforms into an articulated anthropomorphic statue made of organic steel.

We certainly have to chalk another one up for B-Money (as I'm sure someone has called him at some point,) and his ability to corral his merry band of X-folk with extreme efficiency. Because of that, Hugh Jackman's Wolverine will now be able to participate in a few rounds of Fastball Special, the move where Colossus famously lobs the crazed claw-wielder at enemies such as the giant robot Sentinels for unmitigated adamantium-impacted extermination.

X-Men: Days of Future Past crashes through random walls like a chrome-covered Kool-Aid Man at theaters on July 18, 2014.

Guardians of the Galaxy, Marvel's upcoming epic featuring the space-based super-team may not "have a Hulk," but it now has its own emerald enforcer in Dave Bautista, who The Hollywood Reporter confirms has landed the role of Drax the Destroyer.

The process of casting this role came with several months of rumors which had candidates like Jason Mamoa, Isaiah Mustafa, and Brian Patrick Wade, among others in the mix. However, the name of Bautista, the former WWE superstar, turned actor and part-time MMA fighter, always seemed to find its way on to lists of the most likely to nab the role. That narrative is now a reality, as he joins Chris Pratt's team leader, Peter Quill/Star-Lord as the second confirmed casting for this experimental superhero saga in Marvel's "Phase Two" series of canon-connected films.

As far as the character of Drax goes, he was once a normal human being named Arthur Douglas...that was until a commute across the Mojave Desert would introduce him to the powerful Mad Titan, Thanos, whose ship crash-landed in his vicinity. Not wanting witnesses, Thanos cruelly dispatched Arthur and his wife, with the fate of his daughter being unknown. (She would re-emerge as the character, Moondragon.) However, Thanos was unable to kill Arthur's thirst for revenge; a power that would be harnessed by Thanos' father, Mentor (with whom there is no love lost), placing Arthur's essence into a powerful new green-skinned body designed for pure cosmic violence. His path would eventually lead to joining the Guardians of the Galaxy team.

For Bautista, the role will be a significant bump in prestige. The tough guy journeyman actor has been quietly, but steadily building up quite a resume of action films like this fall's Vin Diesel sequel vehicle, Riddick, The Man with the Iron Fists, and House of the Rising Sun. With the scene-stealing potential of the Drax character, Guardians could serve as his coming out party as an actor.

Guardians of the Galaxy flashes a double thumbs-down gesture before delivering a powerbomb to evil at theaters on August 1, 2014.

Jurassic Park IV, next year's long-in-the-making sequel to the Mesozoic mega-movie now has a director in Colin Trevorrow.

Almost apropos to the way that the long-extinct gigantic creatures were culled from the smallest, most unlikeliest of places in the films, so too has the helmer for this gigantic sequel. Trevorrow, whose short directorial resume notably includes last year's Internet meme-inspired comedy, Safety Not Guaranteed and a 2005 TV movie called Gary: Under Crisis, takes a step almost as shockingly-large as the franchise's featured creatures themselves when he settles into the director's chair for this follow-up film to the popular series; the first since 2001's Jurassic Park III.

This certainly begs a rather obvious question: Colin Trevorrow?! It's especially surprising considering that the legendary Steven Spielberg, who directed the first two films, was speculated to be circling the job. (He remains on board as executive producer.) Well, according to Deadline, the writer/director, Trevorrow met with some bigwigs at Universal along with a handful of filmmakers and made a pitch that (we would assume) was impactful, passionate, and demonstrated his own love for the series. With Trevorrow, the studio gets a vision for the film that apparently stays true to the heart of the series. At the same time, they get to invest in someone from a new crop of young filmmakers to see what he does with the proverbial "ball" when it's handed to him. At the moment, that "ball" comes with a screenplay by Rise of the Planet of the Apes scribes, Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver.

With the 1993 original film set for a 3D re-release on April 5 and this sequel looming, you can bet that we're in for a mass-marketing blitz of epic proportions for all things Jurassic. (There's got to be a Betty White roast joke in there somewhere.) For Trevorrow, it's going to be quite the dramatic transition from independent filmmaker to captain for one of Hollywood's majorly lucrative franchises.

Jurassic Park IV tests the electric fences to break out and arrive at theaters on June 13, 2014.

The Wolverine, this summer's big screen return of Marvel's adamantium-aligned ass-beater, has finally given us a look (of sorts) at some other people in the film besides star, Hugh Jackman in the form of his gorgeous female co-stars.

Director, James Mangold has tweeted black and white portraits of the film's starring trio taken on the last day of production. While we've known for some time what the extra-jacked Jackman will look like as Logan this time around, the photos of Tao Okamoto as Wolverine's embattled ex-love, Mariko and Rila Fukushima as the furtive femme fatale, Yukio serve as the first real publicity of any kind for the characters.

A desperate plea for help on the part of Okamoto's Mariko will be the inciting incident of the film which sends Logan on his fateful journey to the Land of the Rising Sun. When Mariko is forced into an involuntary marriage arranged by her crime boss father, it makes Logan rush to her rescue as a white knight (or in this case, samurai), getting him mixed up in all sorts of bad business on her behalf, including a tangle with the powerful mutant, The Silver Samurai (Will Yun Lee). However, a mysterious ally emerges in Fukushima's Yukio. While her ultimate motivations are not yet clear, it does seem that the sultry slayer has every intention of making moves on our hair-spiked hero that will have more than his claws raised.

Do the portraits give fans an incredibly insightful look at the film itself as something like, say...A TRAILER might provide? Nope. However, for fans who have read the original 1982 Frank Miller Wolverine miniseries on which it's based, the glimpse at least puts a set of new faces to the story they've known.

The Wolverine gives you "two chicks at the same time" without the aid of a million dollars at theaters on July 26. Check out the portraits in full below!

Anyone who's been paying attention to recent movie news knows that next year's monolithic mutant movie, X-Men: Days of Future Past will feature just about every actor and actress who's had even a passing connection to the collective film franchise. However, according to actor, Alan Cumming, it most likely will NOT include his popular character, Nightcrawler.

With franchise heavies like Hugh Jackman, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, and the recently-self-confirmed Halle Berry on board, it seemed like anyone with an "X" on their film resume would be getting the fateful call from director, Bryan Singer to hop on board this time-bending bash of epic proportions. Yet, according to Cumming, that call never came. -- Not that it would have mattered anyway. According to the actor in a recent interview with Sirius XM:

"No, they haven’t [asked me to return]. Someone asked me that the other day and I said no. I know the one that’s coming up shoots this Spring, but I wouldn’t be available anyways. I don't think they have. I was gonna meet my manager for dinner later, I was gonna ask him, but no, I’m sure they would’ve told me, had they approached."

Thus, despite the fact that Days looks to be the most surreal fanboy-feast of fighting mutants, it will do battle with the giant robot Sentinels minus the presence of the smoke-shifting acrobatic blue-skinned badass, Kurt Wagner, aka Nightcrawler, who practically stole the show in the 2003 sequel, X2. (Which is widely regarded as the best film in the series.)

The same grim news goes for the character of Azazel, who in the comic book canon, was the father of Nightcrawler. (With Mystique being his mother.) Actor Jason Flemyng, who played the red-skinned teleporter in 2011's X-Men: First Class, would also confirm his non-involvement in the film. The lack of Nightcrawler-esque activity may be a small price to pay for the embarrassment of mutant riches that is this cast, but it's still an unfortunate one.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (sans Nightcrawler) will nevertheless bamf its way to theaters on July 18, 2014.

The highly anticipated debut trailer of Kick-Ass 2 has finally arrived. This sequel has promised to come super-sized and loaded with a cadre of costumed crazies waging unapologetic, unyielding violence and, if this sneak peak is any indication, it does not disappoint.

After briefly toying with the idea of living a normal life, finishing school, dealing with teen problems and other boring stuff, the call of the vigilante lifestyle was just too much to resist for Dave Lizewski (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Mindy Macready (Chloe Grace Moretz) and they return to their nightly hobby of savagely slaying the city's seedy scum, respectively as Kick-Ass and Hit-Girl. However, the scene has changed dramatically since they last hit the streets as an array of costumed crime-fighting amateurs have run wild through the city, cleaning it with a proverbial broom bristled with bloody, hardcore justice. Led by a repentant former mobster known as Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey, in what looks to be an amazing performance), Kick-Ass feels he may have finally found a group to which he can finally belong. -- Even though they interrogate criminals by having dogs bite them in the balls.

Unfortunately, the good times will be short-lived when Kick-Ass' old frenemy, Chris D'Amico (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) resurfaces, still harboring all the bitterness that goes with seeing someone shoot his mob boss father with a freaking rocket launcher. No longer known as Red Mist, he's reinvented himself purely for revenge against Kick-Ass as The Mother F**ker and he's also brought his own backup in a team of super-villains to counter Kick-Ass' new ghetto Avengers. It's going to be all out war...barring any overlaps in the participants' curfews.

Kick-Ass 2 tests the realistic limits of spandex at theaters on August 16. Check out the Red Band trailer (which is full of naughty, naughty words) and a brand new official poster just below.

It seems that the news and rumor cycle for 2015's Star Wars: Episode VII, now fully cooking with Tibanna gas, has shifted its attention to the actor who played the galaxy's premiere mustachioed Lothario himself, Billy Dee Williams. According to a report, Williams confirmed that he has indeed been approached by the Disney-sized Lucasfilm to reprise his role as Lando Calrissian. -- He just hasn't decided if he will (or can) take the role.

In a brief exchange with a friend of the FilmBuff Online, Williams fielded the inevitable question of all questions this past weekend at the Monster Mania convention in New Jersey with a surprisingly direct response:

"Billy Dee said, he has been asked, but hasn’t decided if he is going to do it or not yet."

With all the talk about the Original Trilogy Trifecta (Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher) returning through various unconfirmed reports, it was inevitable that the prospective return of Billy Dee Williams' smooth-talking former smuggler would be the next subject of the rumor mills. For the actor, who played Lando in 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi, the role has been one he's owned up to proudly over the years, supporting it with participation in various Star Wars-related projects and regular convention appearances before adoring fans. So, the willingness to return is likely there. However, as he rounds the age of 76 in a few weeks, perhaps the deciding factor will rest on the size and scope of the role and its potential physical demands.

Based on what little we know, the sequel films, kicking-off with director, J.J. Abrams' Episode VII, will likely focus on the next generation of main protagonists with the Skywalker and Solo children, who are heavily documented in the Expanded Universe of Star Wars comic books, novels, video games, etc. In essence, these movies will be THEIR story. Thus, it's hard to imagine that anything that would be asked of the original cast (in supporting roles) would be so physically taxing that it would warrant anyone not returning.

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't imagine a cast of returning Star Wars players without the Colt 45-consuming Cloud City Cassanova.

It appears that the long-running animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars has seen its last space skirmish...at least on Cartoon Network. After 5 seasons, it has been announced that the show's recent season finale episode would ultimately prove to be its final one as a series. However, there is hope for fans wishing for a proper wrap.

The fate of the highly-touted series was in question after Disney's takeover of the Lucasfilm property last fall, however, speculation seemed to point to the series living on by way of a move to Disney's more genre-oriented kid's channel, Disney XD. Nevertheless, it appears that the franchise's complete refurbishment, gearing-up for the sequel films means that the venerable series, which launched with a theatrically-released movie in 2008, going on to produce over 100 episodes, would come to an end. Additionally, a Star Wars-based comedy series by Seth Green, Matthew Senreich, and Todd Grimes called Star Wars: Detours, which previewed last year at Celebration VI, has been indefinitely postponed, due to consideration for the launch of the sequel films.

The official announcement would come by way of a video featuring the show's supervising director, Dave Filoni delivering the fateful dictation for the show's demise as a serial on Cartoon Network. However, it was promised that more was still more to come. Check out the video below, as well as a look at some cool new footage from what appears to be the Clone Wars swan song.

In a movie weekend dominated by a year-high performance from Oz: The Great and Powerful, a new teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness made its way to theaters and hit online.

While only clocking in at about 1:10, the teaser is probably the most intensity-driven one we've seen thus far. Yet, the dominant recurring theme that we've been seeing remains in regards to the cockiness of Chris Pine's James Kirk and his caution-deficient attitude, which may have bitten off more than he can chew. Indeed, the scene of Bruce Greenwood's Captain Pike chewing out Kirk over his latest haphazard happening seemingly resembles a cigar-smoking, black-coffee-chugging Precinct Captain frantically screaming at the protagonist's reckless ways in some 80's buddy cop movie. However, for Kirk, a much-needed lesson in humility may soon come in the form of the film's (still mysterious) grand villain in Benedict Cumberbatch's John Harrison; an ex-Starfleet officer who, in the wake of some horrific tragedy has gone off the deep end with an agenda of destruction on Earth, beginning with a 23rd century London.

This new teaser has packed in just about everything: Close shave escapes, space base-jumping, hot inter-species romance, demonstrations in flame-retardant fashion, and the Enterprise possibly doing its best maritime tribute to SeaQuest DSV. Check it out below...even if you've already seen it.

It appears that the directorial return of filmmaking visionary, Christopher Nolan now has a release date targeted. His next project, a sci-fi space thriller called Insterstellar has November 7, 2014 marked for its debut at standard and IMAX theaters.

While the essentials of the plot are still under wraps, the film will apparently be filled with themes based on the theories of world-renown physics professor, Kip Thorne, whose research on wormholes and their hypothetical use towards time travel inspired Nolan to get this project moving. While brother, Jonathan Nolan wrote an earlier version of the script, Christopher has reportedly bunkered-down to rewrite (or possibly just rework) the existing version.

Interestingly enough, the part of this story which seems to have blown the minds of the industry trades is the fact that the film will serve as an unprecedented co-production and co-distribution between two of the biggest studios. Paramount Pictures will distribute it domestically, while Warner Bros. Pictures will do so for the international release. Additionally, Warner will forgo involvement this time with its usual partner, Legendary Pictures, breaking a tradition that was shared on all of Nolan's major pictures in the last decade from his Batman trilogy to even the upcoming Superman reboot, Man of Steel, which Nolan is producing. What does that mean? Well, possibly that it may have taken a historical series of compromises among the industry big dogs to amicably divide this super-juicy piece of Nolan steak.

While (arguable) rumors continue to swirl, placing Nolan as the next grand overseer of Warner's Justice League crossover film franchise, for now, the director's attentions are fully focused towards Interstellar. Just as Nolan followed up his monumental superhero epic, The Dark Knight with a completely different project in the mind-bending hit, Inception, it could be the case that Interstellar may serve to cleanse his genre palette after last year's The Dark Knight Rises with what seems to be a fascinating scientifically-oriented project. Could this mean that he intends afterwards to get back into the swing of things with another entry in the world of DC Comics' proposed movie universe?
