Back in September, writer/director David Ayer (‘End of Watch’) promised we’d see a “reinvented” Arnold Schwarzenegger in his upcoming movie ‘Ten.’ “I’m going to transform him,” said Ayer. Well now you can get a first look at Schwarzenegger’s transformation.

Yesterday, the disturbing rumor hit the web: Mark Wahlberg was in talks with director Michael Bay to star in ‘Transformers 4.’ But today we have an update from Bay himself who clarifies the news and explains where the confusion came from.

Did you know that some of the velociraptors in ‘Jurassic Park’ were actually stuntmen in puppet suits? (It’s OK, we’ve seen the film hundreds of times and even we didn’t know that.) It’s true and in this recently released video, we get to see how the late FX wizard Stan Winston created these suits to make a man look like a raptor.

Forget about 3D movies, pretty soon we could have 3D screens. At the 2012 Yeosu EXPO in Korea, Hyundai unveiled a new panoramic project screen that is actually made up of thousands of 11″ x 11″ cubes that can push in and out creating a rippling and pulsating effect on the screen.

Back in October of last year, Chinese stuntman Kun Liu was killed on the set of ‘The Expendables 2‘ when a stunt involving an exploding boat went wrong.

President Barack Obama was scheduled to speak this morning at a campaign stop in Fort Myers, Florida. Instead of speaking about his upcoming re-election campaign, he instead delivered a speech on the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

After the ‘Dark Knight Rises’ shooting that left 12 people dead and another 50 injured, theaters across the country are addressing security concerns as sold-out crowds return to theaters for the weekend.

Ending years of speculation, Anderson Cooper announced this morning that, yes, he is gay.

Last night, Conan O’Brien visited ‘The Late Show With David Letterman’ – his first appearance on that show in over 13 years and his first late-night appearance since being fired as host of ‘The Tonight Show.’ Naturally with their combined dislike of Jay Leno, you could see where the interview would be going…

‘Snow White and the Huntsman‘ has a lot going against it. It’s the second ‘Snow White’ movie to come in just a few months (‘Mirror, Mirror’ hit theaters in late March), it’s attempting to put a modern, action-movie spin on the classic fairy tale, and it stars Kristen Stewart, an actress frequently criticized for her wooden line readings.
