Olivia Wilde Wants You To See 'Cowboys & Aliens'

Posted 7/29/11 11:55 am EST by in interviews, Platinum Studios, Video

Looking for some reasons to go check out "Cowboys & Aliens" in theaters this weekend? Well, lucky for you, leading lady Olivia Wilde has a whole slew of them at the ready just for this moment.

MTV News caught up with the actress at the Montana junket for "Cowboys & Aliens" and asked her why she thinks her flick is the must-see summer blockbuster this season. Her answer? Because the cast is awesome and the story is original.

"We have so many amazing people," Wilde said. "We have Daniel Craig who's, I think, embodying Steve McQueen in this role. I think he's so badass it's unbelievable, and I think he's really, really smart and interesting in this role."

First 'Cowboys & Aliens' Clip: Daniel Craig Owes Harrison Ford

Posted 7/13/11 5:36 pm EST by in News, Video

Let me just say that I've been having a hard time writing about "Cowboys & Aliens," and not for the reasons you might think. First, I am totally anti-spoiler, so I've been trying to avoid all the teasers, trailers and previews. Impossible, as it turns out, because the audience I serve doesn't care about my spoiler sensitivities! Second, as a woman who is very much a fan of Westerns and the men who act in them, every time I see Daniel Craig in all his rugged, dusty, excellence, I lose my train of thought...

What was I talking about? Right. There's a new "Cowboys & Aliens" clip out today, entitled "You Owe Me," that features a nice little scene between our heroes Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford) and Lonergan (Craig).

In the one-minute clip, we see a few of the anxious townsfolk witness a violent scuffle between an alien and a human(?) shown in silhouette through a hotel or shop window. The alien might have been injured, but runs off in the distance before he/she can be caught. Dolarhyde basically calls for a posse to be assembled to go look for the creature. What follows is a delightfully Western, testosterone-fueled exchange between Ford and Craig.

'Transformers: Dark Of The Moon' Easter Eggs: New 'Bots, Old Voices, And Comic Book Connections

Posted 6/30/11 4:16 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video

The third and possibly final installment of Michael Bay's "Transformers" movie franchise arrived in theaters this week, and just like many of the superhero movies we cover here on Splash Page, it's full of call-outs to the cartoons and comics that inspired it.

That's why we decided to give "Transformers: Dark Of The Moon" the same treatment as "X-Men: First Class," "Thor," and "Green Lantern," and identify some of the cool, under-the-radar elements you'll want to look for when you head the movies. (Oh, and I'm a big nerd for giant robots, too. That's the other reason.)

Not able to watch the video? Don't worry — I've highlighted each of the elements I call out in the video below. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: The Asylum's 'Almighty Thor' Trailer - Get Your First Look Here!

Posted 4/21/11 12:43 pm EST by in Hot Stuff, Video

Late last year, we told you about "Almighty Thor," the upcoming film from "Mega Python Vs. Gatoroid" studio The Asylum, which specializes in low-budget, direct-to-video movies timed to coincide with major studio releases. Featuring a cast that includes pro wrestler Kevin Nash and actor Richard Grieco (yes, that Richard Grieco), "Almighty Thor" explores what happens when the "demon god Loki (Grieco) destroys the fortress of Valhalla and steals the Hammer of Invincibility."

Cody Deal plays Thor in the film, and judging by what we've seen of it so far, there's probably not much danger he'll be confused with Chris Hemsworth's take on the god of thunder. However, you can judge for yourself by watching our exclusive premiere of the "Almighty Thor" trailer:

Yes, that is a shot of Thor running down the street while firing an Uzi at the 0:42 mark — need we say more? I didn't think so. Read More...

Taking A Walk With Superman

Posted 4/12/11 11:13 am EST by in DC Comics, Video

Yesterday we learned who Superman will be facing off against in Zack Snyder's upcoming "Man Of Steel" reboot, but a week earlier lead actor Henry Cavill took yet another step toward becoming the big-screen version of the DC hero.

What big step did he take? He set foot inside his first comic convention (WonderCon) — and MTV News was right beside him!

In the video above, you can see Cavill's reaction to the WonderCon crowds, and find out what he thinks about assuming the mantle of one of comics' most iconic heroes.

Where Zack Snyder's 'Superman' Costume Falls On The Reeves-To-Cage Scale (And More Questions He Won't Answer)

Posted 3/23/11 2:58 pm EST by in DC Comics, News, Video

Sure, we know that any time Zack Snyder does any sort of press, the conversation will inevitably turn toward his "Superman" reboot, and a bunch of questions will be asked that he can't answer. Nevertheless, when MTV News caught up with the man behind the latest big screen incarnation of the man of steel, I did my best to try and get a scoop.

The following back-and-forth comes courtesy of: A) an interview I conducted during the "Sucker Punch" junket; and B) our fearless MTV Splash Page editor Rick Marshall, whose brilliant questions Snyder had a lot of fun not answering...

First up, I presented Snyder with two photos: one of the famous George Reeves costume and the other of the infamous, shiny ensemble briefly worn by Nicolas Cage. I asked Snyder to tell us where his Superman costume might fall on the George-Reeves-to-Nicolas-Cage scale. Read More...

Robert Pattinson Denies 'Daredevil' Rumor, Worries About Fan Backlash For Any Superhero Role

Posted 3/21/11 2:43 pm EST by in Marvel, News, Video

Last week, a rumor that named "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson among the contenders for the lead role in David Slade's upcoming "Daredevil" pseudo-sequel caused no small amount of buzz around the online world.

When MTV News spoke to the "Water For Elephants" actor as part of this weekend's live, streaming "MTV First: Robert Pattinson" interview, we made sure to ask him about the rumor pegging him as a potential Matt Murdock.

"I don't know where that one came from at all," said Pattinson of the rumor. Read More...

Zack Snyder Reveals What Won The 'Superman: Man Of Steel' Role For Henry Cavill

Posted 3/21/11 11:04 am EST by in DC Comics, News, Video

We've had a few months to get used to the idea of British actor Henry Cavill playing Superman in Zack Snyder's upcoming reboot of the Warner Bros. film franchise, but we're probably not alone in remembering a time when everything was up in the air regarding the Man of Steel.

When MTV News caught up with Snyder during a press event for his new film "Sucker Punch," we asked him what won Cavill the Superman role over other rumored contenders like "True Blood" actor Joe Manganiello.

"Henry's just ... I love Joe too, by the way," Snyder told MTV News. "Really he was the only other guy I was thinking of, to be honest, other than Henry." Read More...
