Muppets have always had a brand of comedy that is self-aware and very relatible. They are never one to shy away from making fun of themselves or pop culture itself. And in these four new spy mashup posters that are promoting the upcoming Muppets Most Wanted, they are doing just that. Kermit gets into the spy game in these Skyfall and The World Is Not Enough parody posters, while his nefarious doppelganger Constantine gets in on the action with a Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. But it’s when the two get together for a Face/Off parody that will surely get everyone laughing. Hit the jump to see these posters, plus another TV spot making fun of the Idina Menzel Adele Dazeem flub. [Read more...]

Born into the stunt and action movie business, you can say that big movie stunts runs in Need For Speed director Scott Waugh‘s veins. His experience working with his father was at the golden age of stunts, where no CGI or green screen was necessary. Now Scott wants to bring that all back with Need For Speed, a love letter of sorts to films like Bullet, Smokey and the Bandit, and the French Connection. We were able to sit down with a few journalists to talk to Scott about what it was like to collaborate with long time friend and stunt coordinator Lance Gilbert, which cars they pushed to the limit, which cars they babied, translating what was on script to the big screen, and how he and Aaron Paul ended up fighting over a Gran Torino. Hit the jump to read the full interview. [Read more...]
When I saw 300 eight years ago, I was just a passive bystander of geekery, but I loved that movie for it’s stylized and badass ways. I didn’t really have a way to articulate how cool I thought 300 was back then.

While virality is often associated with pre-meditated actions by corporate spinsters marketing products; What if a movie or television show (and its viewer’s need to solve a plot mystery) were to become viral? This is what’s taking place with HBO’s incredible show True Detective. The show is nearing its season finale (on Sunday), and theories about who might be the evil mastermind are reaching viral proportions. Read on for more about this relatively recent phenomenon.

Yesterday we reported that a mysterious company HUVr said that they had developed the same hoverboard technology that was seen in Back To The Future Part II and Part III and was ready to release it to the public. Videos of the fully functioning hoverboard wowed viewers, and news of it spread across the internet, creating a new viral sensation. This comes off the heels of Nike announcing that they would be releasing “Power laces” in 2015. So while we may not have 3D interactive technology yet, or having a place where cars need no roads, this hoverboard technology brought us that much closer to it. Or has it?
It turns out Funny or Die was behind this viral marketing stunt. And if you are bummed that you can’t buy a new hoverboard, well, it turns out there is a nice incentive for your hilariously few found depression. How does a hoverboard signed by Christopher Lloyd sound? Hit the jump to learn more. [Read more...]

Any fan of Terry Gilliam will tell you that whenever a new film from the notoriously cursed director is released, it is time for celebration. Not only do most of his films find themselves a victim of studio meddling, some never even see the light of day (although there seems to be hope for his now decades long struggle to bring The Man Who Killed Don Quixote to the big screen). With his new film The Zero Theorem due out in UK theaters next week, it seems Gilliam himself is throwing a party to celebrate the release of his latest directorial effort as he is offering some lucky UK residents with a smartphone a chance to attend an exclusive screening before the film is released. Details on the contest and more after the break. [Read more...]
