There’s a very good chance we’ll get to see the new Dark Knight trailer that those lucky few got to see yesterday when it hits the internet sometime on Sunday. At least that is what is implied by Why So Serious’ updated website. There’s a pretty crappy version of the trailer already up on the YouTube, but it is the worst of the worst when it comes to pirated screen captures that I’m not even going to link to it as it is really that bad. Plus, I’m sure once WB Legal gets wind of the video, it will come…

Gotta say, I’m impressed with this bit of stop-motion photography. http://view.break.com/493603 – Watch more free videos What do you think? Would you rather see stop-motion action in the next movie, or stick with CGI?

Go Speed Racer Go Music Video Wow. At first I wanted to see this simply for the cheese popcorn fun factor. Now I’m not so sure…

The Oni Press titles Resurrection has been options by Universal Pictures to be turned into a feature film, according to the Hollywood Reporter. “Resurrection” begins where most other alien invasion movies end, centering on a group of survivors trying to take back control of the planet after an apocalyptic invasion.

More viral marketing with a big payoff. You’ll have to take the jump for this one.

I was really looking forward to a Peter Jackson Hobbit, but I think if I had to pick a second, Guillermo del Toro would be a good choice. Let’s just hope del Toro doesn’t insist on telling the tale in native Middle-earth with subtitles. LOS ANGELES (AP) — Guillermo del Toro is directing “The Hobbit” and its sequel, New Line Cinema announced Thursday. The 43-year-old filmmaker will move to New Zealand for four years to make the films back-to-back with executive producer Peter Jackson. Del Toro wrote and directed “Pan’s Labyrinth,” which earned six Oscar nominations in 2006 and won…

Here’s another new trailer from Will Smith’s Hancock flick. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1hsKYtez4w[/youtube]

I think Frank Miller is high on the fumes from the making of The Spirit, because he now wants to direct the film adaptation of his own Hard Boiled comic that he wrote with art by Geoff Darrow. “I’m in love with directing,” he gushed. “I’ve found a way to expand my career. Comics and directing are really two sides of the same coin. That’s what Robert Rodriguez taught me…good drama is good drama.” Carl Seltz is a suburban insurance investigator, a loving husband, and devoted father. Nixon is a berserk, homicidal tax collector racking up mind-boggling body counts in…

This appeared over at MTV. It’s the first trailer for Frank Miller’s adaptation of The Spirit. MTVMusic VideosMTV ShowsEntertainment News At first I was all Hellz Yeah when I heard about this project, but now I’m not so sure. I will go see it, but I don’t think it is going to have the same “spirit”, pardon the pun, that the original Sand Saref story from Eisner that I reviewed last year. via MTV

I received the following email last night from Lt. Jim Gordon of the Gotham City Police Department. With the events spiraling out of last week’s hostage situation involving Harvey Dent, there is a lot of back story viewers of The Dark Knight might need to know to fully appreciate the upcoming flick. My friend, Indictments are about to be handed down. If you don’t want your name on one, we’ll need your full cooperation in an upcoming operation. In case you haven’t heard, we are struggling with a bit of corruption in the department. I’m not about to let the…

Over the next couple of weeks, expect to be inundated with content spilling out of Marvel and the studios as they make sure every single seat in every single theater in every single country is filled with people chanting Iron Man. via Yahoo Movies

For those of you who are interested in the Nerdtacular II event hosted by Scott Johnson at MyExtraLife (and sponsored by your very own Major Spoilers), you might be interested to know there are going to be some great prizes at the event. The biggest so far is a Nintendo Wii. A lucky Nerdtacular attendee will receive one of these bad boys in a drawing before the movie. How cool is that? Too cool, that’s how cool. I wish I could give the donator more props but he want’s to remain anonymous. Cool indeed. Keep a sharp eye out for…

EW.com has the first images of the Watchmen action figures based on the upcoming Zack Snyder movie from Warner Bros. The figures look spectacular, I just hope they are truly action figures instead of nicely molded pieces of plastic that end up as inexpensive maquettes for those who can’t afford the real deal. If you happen to be in New York and are attending the New York Comic Con, DC Direct will unveil the first four prototypes on Friday, April 18. BTW: Both figures will arrive in stores in January 2009 with a price tag of $14.99. via EW.com
