It’s pretty hard not to like Denzel Washington. Although, can’t say we were in love with Unstoppable, so there’s that. . .
Putting that aside, a vast majority of the time when he’s got a new movie coming out, we take notice. His latest is Flight, wherin Washington plays a hero airline pilot with a secret. Don’t they all.
There’s a new trailer for Flight out today. Check it out below. Look for Flight to arrive in theaters on November 2.

Remember when we brought you video of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly in the never before seen footage from his short lived stint in Back to the Future? Well. we’ve got more interesting tidbits from that film to share with you now.
This time it’s not Marty McFly, but rather his father George, we’re concerned with. In the film George is played by the talented Crispin Glover and seeing the movie once it was released and subsiquently, there seems no other actor better suited for the part.
Of course, that wasn’t always the case and, like many other actors, Glover had to audition for the role and screen test to prove he could handle the complex nature of George McFly both young and old. In these two videos, we can see Glover working on his characterization of George McFly along with co-stars Lea Thompson and Thomas F. Wilson and an unknown actor playing Marty.
The footage is not of the best quality but it does give us a peek into how actors do what they do and also demonstrates that Glover is an extremely talented guy who should get more work.
Check out the videos after the jump.

As Hollywood secrets go, this one wasn’t really all that well kept. Many people know that Eric Stoltz was originally cast as Marty McFly in Back to the Future but after five weeks of shooting he just wasn’t working out.
So, in a rather unprecedented move at the time, director Robert Zemekis recast the role with Michael J. Fox and the rest, as they say, was history. Even at the time Zemekis thought Stoltz was a great actor but he just didn’t have the kind of comedic timing the director was looking for.
Now, with the help of the video we have for you today, you can judge for yourself if Zemekis made the right choice. In the video, which comes from the Blu-ray release of the Back to the Future trilogy, you an see Zemekis and Steven Spielberg talking about the decision.
But more importantly, you can see Stolz himself as Marty McFly. Take a look and tell us what you think. The Back to the Future Trilogy hits Blu-ray on October 26th.

Some exciting stuff coming from the mouse at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. Among the very cool things we’re particularly excited about are the panels concerning Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland and the reboot of Tron called Tron (at least for the moment). Also, Disney plans on having several guests to discuss these films, and the fact that they’re all in 3D, including Robert Zemekis, animation legends John Lasseter and Hayao Miyazaki, Tron reboot producers Sean Bailey and Steve Lisberger, veteran animation directors John Musker and Ron Clements and special guest director/auteur Tim Burton.
With all this, it looks to be a very interesting couple of days around the Disney booth and panels. Check out all the info from Disney’s official release:
