Guillermo Del Toro was developing a movie based on H.P. Lovecraft's short story At the Mountains of Madness at Universal, but the studio was reluctant to give the greenlight to a $150 million R-rated horror movie.

As promised, the new trailer for Prometheus is here. Check it out below. The previous teasers and trailers mostly shows what happened on the alien planet when the crew of the Prometheus got there, but the new trailer actually shows some footage of what occurred on Earth before they head out to the great unknown.

Hundreds of fans who camped out overnight in front of the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles were rewarded with tickets to "The Hunger Games" premiere....

A new Promotheus trailer is coming out March 17th 4 pm PST, so, per usual, Fox wants us to know about it with a teaser. There are some new footage included in this teaser, which shows mostly what happens when the crew of the Prometheus reached their destination. And they're all bad: acid attacks, explosions, sand storms, and structural unsound buildings.

With a price tag of $250 million, Disney's John Carter ranks up there as one of the most expensive movies ever made. After an unimpressive and unsuccessful marketing campaign, the moment of truth for John Carter is finally here and it probably couldn't come soon enough.

Fox Broadcasting said it doesn't plan to order a second season of the dinosaurs epic "Terra Nova," potentially ending one of the most expensive new TV series ever made.

Attention Star Wars junkies who've always longed for the day when transmitting holographic messages is as commonplace as a la Princess Leia's "Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope." Your day is nigh. At a recent tech forum, Microsoft Research unveiled a prototype of an augmented reality application called Holoflector.

A second trailer for Wrath of the Titans is out today and seeing this has revealed to me why the John Carter trailers have failed. Let's start with the main character. Perseus is half-god but that doesn't mean things will be easy for him. Those Titans he's up against look like a handful and he will need no small amount of luck to win some of those battles.

Battleship was the first movie trailer out of the gate during Super Bowl 46 but it sets the bar high from the get go. At 1 minute long, the Battleship trailer transformed me from a skeptic into a believer. The movie has transforming robots (and who doesn't like transforming robots?), alien creatures, and promises of mass mayhem all in the name of entertainment. Earth's only hope against these alien invaders and superior technology is this lone battleship and her crew somewhere out in the big blue sea.

Director Steven Spielberg didn't have a lot to say about what's going on with the progress on making Jurassic Park 4 , but we did ask him about it at the junket for The Adventures of Tintin and you can read what he had to say.
