As promised, the latest trailer for the much anticipated Iron Man 2 made its debut after the Academy Awards during Jimmy Kimmell Live, and boy is it cool. In this new one we’re given more action, more fighting, more story, more comedy and more Robert Downey, Jr. All of those elements, and more, come together for a very exiting trailer indeed.

Another great thing we get to see finally is the much rumored “suitcase armor” which Tony Stark carries with him for those little emergencies — like when he’s attacked by a whip-wielding Mickey Rourke as Whiplash. It’s also great to see more of Don Cheadle as he comes into his own as War Machine, the always cool Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow.

Check out the latest trailer, courtesy of the folks at MySpace, after the jump. Iron Man 2 blows audiences away starting on May 7th. That day can not come soon enough.

Fans of comedy and episodic TV have nothing but good thoughts come to mind when they hear the names Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Both The Office and 30 Rock have dominated comedy on network TV for quite some time now, so it would only make sense that a film showcasing both of them together would be epic, no? Probably not, after seeing the trailer for their newest film, Date Night.

The film is about a bored and boring married couple who decide to spice things up by lying to a hostess at a restaurant about their reservations, thus taking another couple’s name and table. One crazy happenstance after another then occurs, and our beloved couple is now on the run from gangsters. Add to that premise the reluctant hero from Get Smart and the neurotic lead from Baby Mama and you’ve got this 90-minute comedy.

The film is padded with a pretty big supporting cast, hoping to drag the audiences in. Mark Wahlberg, James Franco, Ray Liotta, Mark Ruffalo, Mila Kunis, Leighton Meester, and even Olivia Munn are all in the film, with Shawn Levy, director of the Night At The Museum films, sitting in the director’s chair.

Check out the first theatrical trailer after the jump, Be sure to catch Date Night in theaters on April 9th, 2010.

Its not like this should be a surprise to anyone. After all, Olivia Munn is a self-professed Star Wars nerd and often makes her fans extremely happy by dressing as their favorite Star Wars princess — complete with slave outfit. Example on the right.

So it makes perfect sense that she would want to utilize her Star Wars knowledge and also her creative abilities in a new way. And what better way then by producing and starring in some cool new Star Wars fan films? I can’t think of a better way and apparently, Olivia agrees because she just signed a deal with Atom.com to produce and star in fan films exactly like we are talking about.

Want to know more? Of course you do. Fortunately, here’s all the info from the official Atom.com press release:

ATOM.COM JOINS FORCES WITH OLIVIA MUNN TO PRODUCE

STAR WARS FAN FILMS

“Operation Olivia” Videos To Premiere With Munn’s Appearance At

Atom.com And Lucasfilm Events At Comic-Con On Friday And Saturday Nights

“Operation Olivia” Site Debuts Saturday At http://olivia.atom.com

Atom.com announced today that Olivia Munn –Attack of the Show co-host, current Playboy cover girl, and all-around geek goddess — has signed to star in and executive-produce Star Wars fan films for the digital comedy network.

Munn is joining Atom at San Diego Comic-Con International this weekend to premiere the first of the Star Wars-themed videos she is producing through “Operation Olivia: The Star Wars Challenge,” a new online destination that will launch Saturday, July 25 at http://olivia.atom.com. (Select photos from Munn’s first fan film production are already available on the site.)

If you’re one of the many Star Wars fans who can’t make the trip to San Diego for Comic-Con this year to see the fan-favorite Lucasfilm panel presentation, don’t worry because the G4 network has got you covered. This year, Lucasfilm is teaming up with G4 to present the first-ever live television broadcast of the event from the San Diego Comic-Con. Cool, right? But wait, that’s not all.

Lucasfilm also promises to screen never-before-seen footage, breaking news, surprise announcements, guest stars and more. The Star Wars Spectacular will air Saturday, July 25th at 2 p.m. ET/PT on G4 and is hosted by Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira. Joining them will be Lucasfilm’s own Steve Sansweet and guests from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Voice actors from the show will also be present to provide an insider look at the Star Wars universe and perform a live reading of a new Clone Wars script. Additionally, fans will be able to submit Clone Wars questions for the panel through a special G4 site. Now if we can just get Olivia and Megan Fox to wear a “Slave Leia” costume, we might really be onto something.

San Diego Comic-Con runs from July 23 – 26 and The Flickcast team will be there in force. So, be sure to check back right here for all your Comic-Con news and info.

Aside from some potentially disturbing images, news has been pretty quiet about casting for Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2. But recently, G4’s Olivia Munn, host of Attack of the Show, tweeted on Twitter that she’s working on two new film projects, one being the Tina Fey/Steve Carell project Date Night, and one that she couldn’t “legally” discuss.

It turns out that the film in question is Iron Man 2 and the general assumption is that she will have more of a cameo, showing up in a scene or two. Munn did, however, say on Twitter that she will “definitely” have a bigger part than her one-minute scene in Rob Schneider’s direct-to-DVD film Big Stan.

Aside from Stan, Munn can soon be seen in Broken Lizard’s Slammin’ Salmon, and of course every day on G4’s Attack of the Show, where they just announced Munn’s (clothed) appearance in the August/July issue of Playboy.

Check out the video of her Playboy shoot after the jump.
