Marvel Confirms The Release Of A New Trailer For THE AVENGERS This Wednesday Posted: 26 Feb 2012 08:40 AM PST Earlier this week, the German Facebook page for The Avengers revealed that a new trailer would be released, "Wednesday at 6 pm". The fact that the claim originated from a foreign, albeit official, version of the page still left many fans sceptical as to the validity of their claim. After all, the release of new trailers by territories outside of the US has seen them dubbed over in their native language (X-Men: First Class for example). Thankfully, the US version of the page has now confirmed that it will be released this Wednesday on iTunes. If the 6pm GMT time is correct, it should be online by 5pm in the UK and 12pm EST/9am PST. Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures Marvel's The Avengers--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an

TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON Dominates The 32nd Annual Razzies Nominations Posted: 26 Feb 2012 02:41 AM PST You either love, hate or tolerate the Transformers movies. Personally, as someone who never grew up interested in the comic books or animated series, I've never had too much of a problem with the three Michael Bay helmed adaptations. They're not great when it comes to acting or story, but the sheer spectacle of the visual effects have always been enough that I've managed to gain some enjoyment from them. Dark of the Moon was an improvement on the second and some decent 3D effects elevated it from being just another two and a half hours of robots frantically punching each other (even though it was). Well, the Razzies have decided that the movie is worthy of plenty of awards! Just not the good kind...

Pics! Beyoncé and Jay-Z Out with Blue Ivy in NYC Posted: 26 Feb 2012 09:18 AM PST Proud parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z were snapped with their newborn, Blue Ivy, in NYC after having a quick lunch at St. Ambroeus on Saturday.

Ridley Scott Reveals Guy Pearce's Role In PROMETHEUS; Comments On Its Connection To ALIEN Posted: 26 Feb 2012 07:29 AM PST When the first Alien movie and Blade Runner were made, I thought that in the near future the world will be owned by large companies. This is why we have the Tyrell Corporation in Blade Runner, and Weyland-Yutani in Alien. They sent the Nostromo spaceship. The Prometheus is owned by an entrepreneur called Peter Weyland, and is played by Guy Pearce. That's the connection between the two films, and nothing more. Prometheus is a new film, a new world, and is full of new ideas. And of course new monsters as well. Wait, what? Scott contradicted himself here. We have 100% confirmation that the Alien aliens and the Space Jockey will appear, from him and sources, a glimpse in the trailer and a leaked mask of the Space Jockey. The most likely option is Scott is lying about Peter Weyland being the only connection between the two films, or has forgotten that he
