Kevin Costner is no longer a part of the Django Unchained cast. The actor had to drop out of the Tarantino slavery-themed Western due to scheduling conflicts.
Nicolas Cage recently woke up to find a semi-naked man wearing a leather jacket standing in his bedroom eating a Fudgsicle. I think we just found the plot for Hangover 3.
January Jones gave birth to her son, Xander Dane… I’m sorry, that should say, gave birth to a new superhero.
In an in-depth interview with Brad Pitt in this week’s Entertainment Weekly, the actor opened up about what he thought about this wife’s career. “We should be doing [movies] together. We should be doing everything together, then we could work less.”

Emma Stone as Princess Leia makes up for having to watch Seth Rogen’s bits in this Star Wars celebrity promo for Stand Up 2 Cancer. You can find the promo on George Lucas’ much-hated Blu-Ray version of Star Wars out today. Or stick it to George and watch it below.
Speaking of Star Wars, check out this origami battle sequence. No origami Emma Stone in this one.
A critical shot-by-shot analysis of The Dark Knight that had film geeks buzzing this week.

The Awakening
Rebecca Hall plays a ghost skeptic/debunker hired by Dominic West to investigate ghostly matters in a London boys school. Apparently that&rsquos who they&rsquore gonna call when they see something strange in their neighborhood in post-World War II London.
There was a new Twilight trailer this week? Check out the pre-wedding jitters that lead to bed breaking honeymoon sex and a spine-cracking fetus. Wow, that actually sounds like an awesome movie!
On the same day that Scarlett Johansson&rsquos nude pics were leaked, the trailer for this comedy-drama hit the Web. Co-starring are that guy who played Jason Bourne (Matt Damon), Paul Giamatti&rsquos friend in Sideways (Thomas Haden Church) and that little girl from Super 8 (Elle Fanning). The movie is written and directed by that guy who made Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous (Cameron Crowe). All kidding aside, Zoo actually looks halfway decent.
