New Pics of Megan Fox in ‘Jennifer’s Body’

foxseyfriedjennifersbodyEmpire Magazine has devoted a few pages of its current print issue to the Diablo Cody scripted, Megan Fox starring horror/comedy Jennifer’s Body. You may ask yourself right about now why we (or you for that matter) should care about this particular film. Fair question. Let’s talk a bit more about the film and perhaps you’ll get a better idea of why.

First off, the film is written by the very talented Diablo Cody, who’s previous writing effort was the terrific Juno. Second, the film stars Megan Fox as a demonically possessed cheerleader who proceeds to kill her classmates in new and fun kinds of ways. Third, during some of these killings, Fox manages to be in various stages of undress. Finally, the film is directed by Karyn Kusama, who so far has made a very good film in Girlfight and a decent one in Aeon Flux.

And did I mention that Megan Fox plays a cheerleader who kills people and tends to take her clothes off? Just wanted to make sure you were paying attention. Let’s be honest, having Megan Fox in a movie, especially right now with the mega success of Transformers 2, can’t hurt. Plus, you have to add in the Diablo Cody factor and more than likely a decent directing job. Put all that together and I don’t know exactly what it makes but did I happen to mention Megan Fox takes her clothes off quite a bit in the film?

Check out a few of the Jennifer’s Body pics after the break. For the rest of them, head over to Film School Rejects where they apparently have so much time on their hands they scan in photos of Megan Fox from magazines. But hey, we’re glad they do. Jennifer’s Body, which features Megan Fox, Amanda Zeyfried, Adam Brody, J.K. Simmons and Amy Sedaris, hits theaters on September 18.

A ‘Special’ Promo for HBO’s ‘Hung’

thomas-jane-hungPreviously, we gave you some info about the new HBO show Hung, featuring Thomas Jane as a guy with problems, no money and no choice who ends up using the one big asset he has left to make a living. Yes, I’m talking about his penis. There, I said it. The show is about a guy who with a large penis who becomes a prostitute and uses his penis to make a living.

Moving past that, reviews of the show and mentions of it online have all made one “penis” joke or another because the show is, ostensibly, about a guy’s member and most people who write tv reviews these days, particularly online, tend to act like ten year old boys. Of course, the crazy kids at Jimmy Kimmel Live decided to take it one step further and made a video to show you exactly what that means. But really, can you blame them? The show is about a guy’s penis after all.

No, the video doesn’t feature any Thomas Jane nudity, sorry ladies. It is, however, quite funny and worth a look. Hung airs Sundays at 10PM on HBO. Check out the video after the jump.

Watch Ron Moore’s ‘Virtuality’ on Hulu

virtuality_castSadly, not very many of you ended up watching Ron Moore and Michael Taylor’s “back door” pilot Virtuality on Fox last Friday. The numbers were not very high at all, which pretty much ensures the show will never become a series. That’s unfortunate because the pilot was very well done and would have made quite a good series.

Well cast, well directed (by Peter Berg) with engaging characters, clever dialog, some action, suspense and a mystery plot twist at the end would have made me tune in each week to follow the continuing story of the Phaeton crew on its mission to save earth. My one major problem with the show isn’t really a problem with the show exactly, its with Fox billing it as a “TV Movie.”

This is not a movie because a movie has an ending that finishes a story and explains most of the questions raised during the story. This was a pilot that assuredly ended with the beginning of a story, which is exactly what a pilot is supposed to do. For whatever reason, Fox has consigned Virtuality to the scrap heap of discarded quality shows that never really got a chance and decided to cut its losses and air the show on Friday to see what happens.

Fortunately, you can now catch this terrific pilot on Hulu and Fox on Demand. Go watch it and enjoy it as much as I did. Then, if you do, let Fox know you would really like to see it become a series. Who knows, maybe they’ll actually listen? Although, I wouldn’t suggest holding your breath.

Be sure to check out the show on Hulu or feel free to watch it right here after the jump.

Zack Snyder Gives ‘Watchmen’ Director’s Cut Details

watchmen-final-posterPreviously, we told you that director Zack Snyder’s “Director’s Cut” of Watchmen was getting a limited theatrical release. Plus, the film will be out on DVD and Blu-Ray on July 21st. But until now, we were not sure exactly what the new version contains in terms of additional footage and what Snyder really intended for the film. But now, thanks to our friends at MTV Splashpage, we know much more about the release, directly from Snyder himself.

According to the site, Snyder says: “There’s a couple Rorschach scenes; it’s a little bit more violent overall. It’s a little gorier, a teeny bit gorier; like, when Veidt’s being assassinated, the secretary puts her hand out and she gets shot in the hand – and her fingers fly off.”

As for other changes and enhancements in Snyder’s 25-minute-longer cut of the film, according to the site, the director said: “After Hollis dies, we cut to Dan and Rorschach and they go to Happy Harry’s to get some info on who’s trying to assassinate Veidt…at the end of that scene, in the theatrical version, it cuts [after they get some information].

In the longer version, Dan notices on the TV that there’s a report that Hollis has been murdered. He sees that, and then he sees a Knot Top in the bar, and he attacks him and beats the sh-t out of him, just like in the graphic novel. Then Rorschach pulls him off and says ‘not in front of the civilians!’”

New ‘Gamer’ International Trailer Online

Gamer-Movie-PosterAlthough it seems most every element of this film is “borrowed” from other films, it doesn’t make Gamer look any less cool. And now, there’s a new international trailer for the film to further confirm that fact. In case you’re not familiar with the film, Gamer is an action/thriller set in the near future where humans control other humans in a massive multiplayer online game.

Billionaire Ken Castle (Michael C. Hall) has created the controversial form of entertainment called “Slayers,” a hugely popular game that allows millions to act out their secret desires and fantasies online. At the center is Kable (Gerard Butler), who is taken from his family, imprisoned and forced to fight against his will. Now, he must survive long enough to escape the game, free his family, regain his identity and save mankind. Doesn’t sound that tough, right?

Like I said, lots of familiar elements but still cool. Plus, Butler does know his way around action, so that can’t hurt either. Can’t wait to see this one.

Gamer, directed by Neveldine/Taylor and featuring Gerard Butler, Michael C. Hall, Kyra Sedgwick, Alison Lohman and Milo Ventimiglia, hits theaters on September 4.

Check out the new trailer after the jump.

Comic-Con TV Panels Galore This Year

san-diego-comic-conAccording to Variety, this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 23-26 at the San Diego Convention Center, will see an ever greater TV and network presence then in years past. Networks and studios plan to showcase even more shows than ever at the con, making it more and more into an invaluable promotional tool where Hollywood can publicize new shows to the 126,000 fans who head there each year.

Positive reaction to early footage seen in San Diego can generate strong buzz across the Internets that could make or break a show well before its debut. And now that we have Twitter, the buzz can build almost immediately.

Here’s what some of the studios and networks will be bringing to San Diego this year:

* Warner Bros. is bringing 11 shows, the most ever for the company. These include new shows Eastwick, Human Target, Past Life, V and The Vampire Diaries, as well as returning series Fringe, The Big Bang Theory, Chuck, Smallville, Supernatural and Batman: The Brave and the Bold.
