We have some pics of Daniel Craig for your Tuesday morning muffin as he makes his way through Ataturk International Airport on his way out of Istanbul. It looks like filming for Skyfall has finally wrapped in that city. Wonder where they’re off to next. (I know we waited forever, but doesn’t it seem like they’ve been filming forever now? This movie comes out in five months in the UK.) We also have a few pics from that train stunt shoot with Craig and his stunt double, Ben Cooke (who also doubled for Jason Statham in Killer Elite).  That’s a particular favorite up top.

In still more James Bond news, after yesterday’s reveal of that awesomely moody first trailer (oh and by the way, after several more viewings, the end isn't a question, it's a statement: "We're going to kill them first". How silly of me.), Sony has created what it’s calling a ‘super-trailer’ combining the trailer for Skyfall and a trailer for its tie-in video game for Xbox 360 and PS3, “007 Legends”.  I’m not a gamer, but I’ll probably watch this version of the trailer over and over for one reason: the iconic Bond theme in the background of the game s that is noticeably asent from the film’s trailer.

The game combines six Bond films that span several eras, starting with Moonraker, the foundation for the first ‘mission.’ The end of the trailer hints that we’ll get trailers for the other five levels over the coming months.

“007 Legends” lands in stores October 16th. Skyfall lands 26^th October in the UK and Novemer 9 in the US.  Enjoy the pics and the video!

In today’s Prometheus news, we have a completely ridiculous promotional tool as well as a brilliant onem a poster that looks to contain a spoiler and not nearly enough Michael Fassbender and some new images from Sir Ridley Scott's in-depth interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Let’s start with the poster. It comes from Malaysia even though it’s in English. It looks more like a traditional movie one-sheet than anything we’ve seen thus far for Prometheus, but it also seems to stick a big spoiler right in the center of it, (For that reason, I’ve left it to the bottom of the post. Don’t view if you don’t want to know.) and Michael Fassbender’s David is nowhere in sight.

Speaking of Fassbender, in a classic case of “what’s wrong with this picture?” I have to ask,WTF is going on with this promo? Fassbender and Sir Ridley Scott are apparently schilling for beer. Movie tie-ins are usually ridiculous (Chocolate Iced Coffee for Men in Black III? Berry-flavored Mountain Dew for The Dark Knight Rises? Those are just two examples from this year alone.), but perhaps because it’s for a movie from a director I respect and an actor I revere, that this seems especially repugnant. Oh well, those special effects and that massive set cost money (Over $120million). Fox has to pay the bills. (As if the movie isn’t going to make more than the combined GNP of most of Africa.)

To get the taste of that out of our mouths, we have yet another viral video from the vaults of the Weyland Corporation. It appears to be Elizabeth Shaw’s (Noomi Rapace) personal plea to be included in any exploration of the alien pictographs that she’s discovered. It’s called “The Quiet Eye” and it’s meant to appear to look as if it leaked from her personnel files. It debuted on the Verizon FiOS Facebook. If you’ve been following the marketing campaign for Prometheus, you’re going to want to watch this. 

Finally, check the images from that THR interview in which Sir Ridley confirms that Prometheus "pays heavy tribute to author Erich von Daniken’s ideas in his 1968 book 'Chariots of the Gods?' — which argued that we are not alone and another sentient entity might have spawned us."

Prometheus is one week away for those in the UK and two weeks for us in the US and Canada. The original screenplay was originally written by Jon Spaihts (The Darkest Hour) and Damon Lindelof ("Lost", Cowboys & Aliens, Star Trek 2).

Charlize Theron along with costars Chris Hemsworth and Kristen Stewart sat down for one of Moviefone’s Unscripted Interview segments in promotion of their new film Snow White and the Huntsman (perhaps you’ve heard of it?) The questions themselves are not very interesting but we do learn a bit about these three from their answers and their banter.

Kristen Stewart is obviously very shy (either that or she’s on crack). While she does seem to have a good relationship with  her costars, she doesn’t like addressing the camera when talking about herself.  Hemsworth seemed both the most natural and had the least to say. Theron was clearly the “leader” of this group, which makes sense given that Oscar and her experience.

Someone needs to get Charlize Theron a comedy. She’s got a great sense of humor that the serious nature of most of her roles does not allow to come through. She’s also not afraid to poke fun at herself as the “diva” moment in the first video shows. She also drops more F-bombs in the main interview than Gerard Butler ever thought about. (If Abigail Breslin had gotten a hold of her on the set of Nim’s Island, she’d have gotten Theron’s whole paycheck.*)

Rupert Sanders’ Snow White and the Huntsman also stars Sam Claflin, Lily Cole, Ian McShane, Ray Winstone, Toby Jones, Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan and Bob Hoskins. It opens everywhere on June 1.

 *during the filming of 2008’s Nim’s Island, then 12 year old Abigail Breslin made her costar pay a penalty into a “swear jar” every time Gerard Butler let fly with an expletive. She made quite a bit of money for a local Australian animal charity.

Here’s a new clip from Lee Daniels’ The Paperboy with Matthew McConaughey, Nicole Kidman and Zac Efron. Part of this clip was included in the montage shown during the opening ceremonies of the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.  The clips stars out with Jack James (Zac Efron) daydreaming about Nicole Kidman’s Charlotte as he, his brother Ward  (McConaughey) and Yardley Acheman (David Oyelowo) wait for her in the car.

The Paperboy, which also stars John Cusack as death row inmate Hilary van Wetter, is based on a novel  by Pete Dexter.  You can see the first clip from the film here.

An idealistic reporter for the Miami Times returns to his Florida hometown to investigate a case involving the murder of a local sheriff. He’s eventually helped by his younger brother, Jack (Zac Efron) as they investigate the possible wrongful conviction of a death row inmate (John Cusack). Matthew McConaughey plays Ward James, who teams with another reporter ( David Oyelowo as Yardley). During the course of the investigation, Jack falls for the woman (Kidman) whom the convict has been romancing through prison correspondence.

The Paperboy doesn’t have domestic or UK release dates yet. I’m betting that will change after Cannes.You can see more of the pics we have for The Paperboy here.

First we have a quick little clip from David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, one of the new flicks we’ve been telling you about for awhile now that is also in contention for the Palm D’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.  Fittingly, the clip comes from French site WatTV. In the clip, in which Rob’s Eric Packer is seen getting it on with Juliette Binoche, we learn two things about Eric: 1. He’s married.  2. His character is as close to completely numb as a person can get and still have a pulse.

Entertainment One has dropped a new little UK trailer to prepare for the release into cinemas on 15^th  June. It’s also quick but does give a good overview of what we’ve seen already. There’s also a new UK poster above which bears the Cannes logo.

New York is in turmoil, the age of capitalism is drawing to a close and Eric Packer, a high finance golden boy is chauffeured across the city in his extravagant limousine to get a haircut. A visit from the President of the United States paralyses Manhattan and as the day goes by, an eruption of wild activity unfolds on the city’s streets. Eric watches helplessly as his empire collapses and as his paranoia intensifies during the 24-hour period, he starts to piece together clues that lead him to a most terrifying secret: his imminent assassination.

Again, the UK gets Cosmopolis on 15^th June. No exact date yet for the US although the rumor is now sometime in August. Cosmopolis also stars Paul Giamatti, Samantha Morton, Jay Baruchel and Sarah Gadon.

We’ve seen parts of this clip in the trailers, but since I could watch Chris Rock’s Zebra Marty, who obviously has theatrical ambitions, do his “Afro Circus” bit ad infinitum, I’m sharing this with you.  It’s the first official clip from Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted.

When I heard the synopsis for ABC’s new show, “Nashville”, coming to the network this Fall, I thought it sounded like a cross between Robert Altman’s movie of the same name and the Gwyneth Paltrow opus, Country Strong.  Turns out I was right, in a good way.

Chart-topping Rayna James (Connie Britton) is a country legend who's had a career any singer would envy, though lately her popularity is starting to wane. Fans still line up to get her autograph, but she's not packing the arenas like she used to. Rayna's record label thinks a concert tour, opening for up-and-comer Juliette Barnes (Hayden Panettiere), the young and sexy future of country music, is just what Rayna needs. But scheming Juliette can't wait to steal Rayna's spotlight. Sharing a stage with that disrespectful, untalented, little vixen is the last thing Rayna wants to do, which sets up a power struggle for popularity. Could the undiscovered songwriting talent of Scarlett O'Connor (Clare Bowen) be the key to helping Rayna resurrect her career?

Complicating matters, Rayna's wealthy but estranged father, Lamar Hampton (Powers Boothe), is a powerful force in business, Tennessee politics, and the lives of his two grown daughters. His drive for power results in a scheme to back Rayna's handsome husband, Teddy, in a run for Mayor of Nashville, against Rayna's wishes.

We love Connie Britton, from "Friday Night Lights" and "American Horror Story". Hayden Panettiere I’m not sold on, but she looks like a good fit in the trailer. The terrific cast includes Eric Close as Rayna’s husband Teddy, Powers Booth, and Charles Esten (who used to be known as “Chip” when he was a regular on “Whose Line is it Anyway”). The show is being given the 10pm Wednesday time slot vacated by "Revenge" (which is moving to 9pm Sunday after "Once Upon A Time").  Created by Callie Khouri (Thelma & Louise), Nashville looks like the kind of multigenerational saga that ABC does well. I’m definitely going to give this one a shot.

Embedded within last night’s season premiere of America’s Got Talent (featuring the debut of fanboy and new judge Howard Stern), was a four minute sneak peek at Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man. The prospect of this was not enough to get me to watch the show, however, as I knew it would be available on the web shortly thereafter. And so it is.

The preview amounts to an extended trailer but there is also a LOT of new footage, starting with the opening sequence on the bridge. And hey, that’s C. Thomas Howell playing the dad! Take a look:

“The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Martin Sheen) and Aunt May (Sally Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.”

We also have two terrific new posters, one above and one below. It seems they’ve moved up the release date as well. It’s now being touted as July 3 in the US as well as the UK (right before the holiday in the US.) The Amazing Spider-Man will be available for your viewing pleasure in 2D, 3D and IMAX 3D. Can’t wait!
