They assembled for The Avengers and now the big, green angry dude and the one they call Black Widow are joining forces to make music together in John Carney's Once follow-up Can A Song Save Your Life?

As we reported way back in June, Scarlett Johnasson was lending her vocal and acting chops to the musical and such disparate choices as Mark Ruffalo and Jim Carrey were being considered for the male lead. Thankfully, Ruffalo won the role and the Playlist has more details about the Judd Apatow produced romance.

Johansson, a lady who knows her way around a microphone - lest we forget her solo album of Tom Waits cover and a collaboration with M. Ward - will reunite with her The Avengers co-star Ruffalo and play an aspiring musician who moves to New York with her long-time beau only to be cruelly dumped when he starts getting a little recognition.

The centuries-old love story between two vamps, currently titled Only Loves Left Alive , is set to start shooting later this year. Originally slated to star our breakout actor of 2011, Michael Fassbender, the romantic leading role is now in the more-than-capable hands of British actor Tom Hiddleston (Thor, War Horse). Though we have to admit we're bummed about not seeing Fassy front and center in this one, we're equally happy to see the talented Hiddleston get a chance to impress alongside the stellar cast. Did we mention Tilda Swinton? We did? Well...it bears repeating.

If, like me, all the noise and endless chatter about the Superbowl barely registers - can't even claim to be a fairweather fan who kowtows and watches the big game, I care that little - but what I managed to glean from the whole mess are words like 21 Jump Street, Avengers and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

We're constantly told that the Superbowl is THE entertainment show of the year, eclipsing the Oscars and Globes in viewership and reach since there is nothing high-brow about watching dudes trample each other on a field, and with the half-time show and the notoriously pricey commercial spots, it's not hard to see why.

But as cinephiles, movie trailers are the only reason we'd maybe tune in. And that's a big maybe.

Depending on how massive a Hunger Games fan you are - and it seems reasonable that this is one of those cultural phenomena that everyone is at least partially tapped into/following - the news that you've got 49 days left before the sprawling dystopian flick hits theatres is either decent news or an inhuman time to wait to see Katniss, Peeta and Gale on the big screen.

Well, luckily a second trailer (!) has just been released from the Gary Ross-directed action flick and it gives us the Mockingjay pin, more Katniss, a sprinkling of Effie and Stanley Tucci as cerulean-topped Caesar Flickerman, and evokes the futuristic eccentricity of Luc Besson's 1997 hit The Fifth Element.

Judge for yourself and watch the new Hunger Games trailer after the jump!

From the outside, it appears men have it decidedly easier when it comes to getting dressed. Pants + shirt = done.

But even within the confines of that simple combo there is a margin for error. Hence, some universal rules apply to getting it right. Rules that work regardless of age, occupation or lifestyle.

Find that hard to believe? Then look no further than the five vastly different characters competing for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in this year's awards race. Max von Sydow's silent senior citizen, Jonah Hill's brainy sports enthusiast, Kenneth Branagh's cinematic legend, Nick Nolte's gritty patriarch and Christopher Plummer's newly out elder will show you how to wear the pants, and more, with style.

So then, here are the rules of menswear, according to this year's Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominees!

The action-comedy stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum in a big screen version of the 1980s Johnny Depp TV series. It will screen March 12 at SXSW, which runs March 9-17.

The conference also announced its closing film will be Big Easy Express, a documentary about a group of touring folk bands including Mumford & Sons.

SXSW earlier announced that The Cabin in the Woods, an anticipated horror film co-written by Joss Whedon and starring Chris Hemsworth, will open the festival.

His third time flirting with babes, playing with gadgets and looking slick in a suit encountered some serious delays, but Daniel Craig is back as James Bond and in this first official photo from Skyfall, the super-spy's 23rd big-screen outing, we get darkness, what looks like a snub-nosed-and-probably-high-tech gun and a butched-up blond Bond, complete with noticeable stubble.

Though the movie, directed by Sam Mendes, boasts some serious talent in its supporting players - Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, Berenice Marlohe, Naomie Harris, Ben Whishaw, Albert Finney and Judi Dench - we only get Craig's steely look in profile backlit by neon blues and reds.

Abbie Cornish has a decision to make. There are only two places to sit in this Toronto hotel suite. One is a nice big chair, the other is a tiny ottoman. She picks the ottoman and offers me the much higher, and more comfortable spot.

This humble and happy 29-year-old Australian was dubbed "the new Nicole Kidman" after she won Best Actress at the Australian Film Institute Awards for playing a teen runaway in 2004's Somersault. Since then she's been Bradley Cooper's long-suffering girlfriend in Limitless, fiery and fashionable Fanny Brawne in Bright Star and the kick-ass Sweet Pea in Sucker Punch.

But Cornish may be more famous for some real-life drama. While making Stop-Loss in 2007 she met actor Ryan Phillippe who, at the time, was married to Reese Witherspoon. When news broke that the Golden Couple had separated, and that Phillippe was involved with Cornish, she was cast as the other woman. "I woke up one morning and there was this whole thing I had to process and deal with," she remembers. She and Phillippe were together for three years. "I'd never been exposed to this. I had to let it go and focus on my career."

Soon enough, the fact that Daniel Radcliffe got his start as the central character in a billion-dollar movie franchise will be the most well-known part of his bio, but it will hardly be the whole story.

Showing off a range of subtlety and depth not available, or required, to play Harry Potter, the mannish Radcliffe takes on a spooky spectre in the big-screen version of the famed British novel by Susan Hill and carries the unsettling movie from the first creepy shot to its last.

We were on the London, England set of The Woman in Black last November and got to see first-hand how the story of solicitor Arthur Kipps and the unwelcoming, bewildered village of Crythin Gifford came together, so it was a delight to get to sit down with the actor to chat about the finished product when he was in Toronto recently.

Radcliffe was candid and, as always, eloquent, and revealed his feelings about playing a father - his son in the movie is played by his real-life godson Misha Handley - and why he wouldn't run if he found himself in a haunted house.

Organizers on Tuesday presented the program for the event, the first of the year's major European film festivals, which runs Feb. 9-19.

Outside the main competition, highlights include Meryl Streep being honored for her lifetime achievement; Angelina Jolie's directorial debut, the Bosnian war movie In the Land of Blood and Honey; and documentaries and discussions on the Arab world in the wake of the past year's upheaval.

"There are a lot of films in this festival about changes happening in the world," festival director Dieter Kosslick said.

The competition for the festival's top Golden Bear award opens with French director Benoit Jacquot's Farewell My Queen, a drama centering on the drama inside the queen's palace as the French Revolution broke out, and starring Kruger as Marie Antoinette.

The live Avengers Global Fan Chat wrapped just minutes ago but we've got the highlights from the Q&A with Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), and Whedon after the cut. And as if the interactive bits weren't enough, Marvel closed out the session with a sneak peek at the big Avengers Super Bowl spot. Check it out after the highlights!

The first installment in the X-Men re-boot grossed more than $146 million domestically, eventually earning more than $353 million worldwide. Though its box office returns may not have equaled (or come close to) Last Stand's almost unbeatable ones, it was the first blockbuster/mainstream flick to feature up-and-coming stars Michael Fassbender and Jennifer Lawrence. Add to that the fact it hit big with audiences and critics alike and a sequel shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. And who are we to argue when it means more Fassbender (or indeed Lawrence or McAvoy) on the big screen?

So what are you waiting for?

Get your fill of Hollywood at home with this week's list of the hottest releases.

While the movie that got people talking the most last year didn't have a voice itself, it's impossible to mention the upcoming mother of all awards shows, the Oscars, and not take a moment to single out Scorsese's wildly successful foray into family-friendly 3D territory, going into the game with the most noms at 13, Viola Davis' welcome recognition as a Streep-level threat, Rooney Mara's bad-ass introduction to the big leagues and Melissa McCarthy staking a claim for comedies amidst the typically humourless films the Academy tends to favour.

We're still miffed about some unforgivable snubs but we don't want to dampen the deserved nominations awarded to first-timers Jessica Chastain, Gary Oldman, Jonah Hill, Berenice Bejo, Jean Dujardin, Michel Hazanavicius...and Bret McKenzie.

While it's fairly obvious the black-and-white silent film will tap-dance its way to Oscar glory come February 26 there are still some categories that aren't a lock and we're betting on who's up for Academy Awards gold in 2012.

Oscar predictions, and wish-list wins, after the jump.

According to Terry Jones (center), the existing members of Monty Python’s Flying Circus are set to reunite for another film.

Jones told Variety that he is set to direct the planned feature, adding that while it is not strictly speaking a Python film it will have the same sensibilities we've come to expect from their projects. Described as a science fiction farce, the live action/CGI film is tentatively titled Absolutely Anything.

The man who gave generations of movie lovers animated classics like Snow White, Cinderella, Fantasia and Pinocchio, not to mention Mickey Mouse, is often cast as a mythic moustachioed figure, presiding over a fleet of animators and churning out hit movies, TV shows and that famous theme park, but his daughter wanted to give fans of her father's work the chance to see who he was outside of the glare of success and fame and show the man she grew up calling dad.

In San Francisco to speak with Diane Disney Miller about the Blu-ray release of Lady and the Tramp and her father's legacy, we were among a handful of journalists given a tour of the Walt Disney Family Museum, filled with artifacts and tokens of Walt Disney's life before he was a brand, including family portraits, early drawings, his marriage certificate to wife Lily, and displays of his later staggering success, like a trophy case housing a dozen Oscars, photos of his famous friends and early plans for Disneyland.

But the museum doesn't sugarcoat the journey, giving due weight to the story of Walt's humble beginnings - coming to Hollywood with a mismatched suit, cardboard suitcase and $40 in his pockets - and early failures as well as a three-month-long animators' strike in 1941 that almost had Walt walking away from the studio, even showcasing the rather creative picket signs that the workers designed.

There's a lot to see and even the most ardent Disney enthusiasts will learn something from walking through the two floors of fabled ephemera.

Check out our photos from the tour and stay tuned for our sit-down interview with Diane Disney Miller.

Was everyone's dream of a Ferris follow-up finally becoming a reality? Or were we all having one awesome mass, internet-wide hallucination? Sadly, neither. Audiences will have to shelve their Ferris Bueller's Day Off sequel wishes...for now. The preview was actually just a taste of a brand new, and we're willing to admit, clever commercial pulled together by auto giant Honda.

The full extended spot was released today and we've got it for you. From the valet to the parade, the homage-laden ad is full of shout-outs to the '80s classic only this time Broderick (as himself) is avoiding work instead of matriculation.

See the original clip that got everyone buzzing below, the scroll down for a look at the full thing!

Certain actors do certain things very well. Some can cry rivers of tears on cue, others can break hearts with just a smile. Glenn Close is really, really good at watching.

In one of her earliest films, 1983's The Big Chill, she was the wry observer who stood slightly apart from her more raucous college pals during their reunion. We felt she saw more than she showed as the comatose Sunny von Bülow in Reversal of Fortune. And who can forget the finale of Dangerous Liaisons when Close, as the socially disgraced Marquise de Merteuil, silently studies herself in a mirror as she strips off her makeup knowing full well that her life is ruined.

In her new film, Albert Nobbs, Close does little else but quietly watch others, and she does it brilliantly.

The movie is based on the stage play The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs, in which Close appeared off-Broadway in 1982. Close plays Albert Nobbs, a woman disguised as a man who works as a waiter in a Dublin hotel in the 1860s. It's evident no one, including her co-workers or hotel guests, suspect the reserved and slightly strange Mr. Nobbs is a woman.

The Deep South drama The Help won three prizes Sunday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, including best actress for Viola Davis and supporting actress for Octavia Spencer.

The Help also claimed the guild's ensemble award, the show's equivalent of a best-picture prize.

Davis and Spencer won for their performances maids going public with uneasy truths about their white employers in 1960s Mississippi.

Jean Dujardin won the lead-actor honour for The Artist as a silent-film superstar whose career crumbles when the sound era arrives. Christopher Plummer won for supporting actor as an elderly dad who comes out as gay in Beginners.

The wins boost the actors' prospects for the same honours at the February 26 Academy Awards.

Michel Hazanavicius

French filmmaker Hazanavicius, whose credits include the OSS 117 spy spoofs, had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood until The Artist, his black-and-white throwback to early cinema that has been a favorite at earlier film honors.

The Directors Guild honors are one of the most accurate forecasts for who might go on to take home an Oscar. Only six times in the 63-year history of the guild awards has the winner failed to win the Oscar for best director. And more often than not, whichever film earns the directing Oscar also wins best picture.

Past winner Scorsese is nominated again for the guild's feature-film honor for his Paris adventure Hugo, while Hazanavicius scored his first nomination for his silent-movie The Artist.

Also in the running are Woody Allen for his romantic fantasy Midnight in Paris; David Fincher for his thriller The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; and Alexander Payne for his family drama The Descendants.

The Directors Guild Awards are one of Hollywood's most accurate forecasts for who will win at the industry's top honors, the Academy Awards, which will be handed out Feb. 26. Only six times in the 63-year history of the guild awards has the winner failed to take home the Oscar for best director, and more often than not, the film winning the best director Oscar is voted best picture.

Fincher had been the favorite going into the Directors Guild ceremony last year for The Social Network, but Tom Hooper came away the winner for The King's Speech. Hooper went on to win the Oscar, too, and his film also earned best picture.

Bradley Cooper

The two actors play a married couple in the movie, which follows an aspiring writer who gains fame when he finds an old manuscript and passes it off as his own.

The pair avoided any appearance of their reported off-screen romance by staying apart from one another while posing for photos and giving interviews to support the film. Saldana did affectionately touch Cooper as they passed in a hallway, though.

Both had been to Sundance before, where snow fell throughout the festival and the weather dipped into the teens. Still, Saldana maintained her fashionista edge.

For those less familiar with the plot, The Artist follows George Valentin (played by Best Actor nominee Jean Dujardin), a silent movie superstar whose career takes a major hit with the advent of the talkies. With a stellar supporting cast that includes Best Supporting Actress Nominee Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell and Malcom McDowell, the crowd-pleasing cinematic homage to Hollywood's early days has built on the positive buzz it garnered this past May at Cannes and now finds itself the front-runner for the film industry's most coveted golden statuette.

Now that you're caught up - check out the adorable blooper reel after the cut! Bonus points for the inclusion of everyone's favourite dog, Uggie. Turns out he's a bit of a diva...

As Cineplex celebrates 100 years of movie memories over the next twelve months, we’ll take a look back at some key moments, classic stars and technological milestones from each week in cinematic history, ones that helped shape and define the modern film industry into the memory-making marvel we view it as today.

So dig in with our second look back! This week's edition looks at Pixar, Shirley Temple, the old Hollywood studios, Fritz the Cat and more!

The actor best known for playing Jewish Puerto Rican student Juan Epstein on the 1970s TV show "Welcome Back Kotter" has died.

The Flynn & Son Funeral Home in Fords, N.J., says it was informed of Robert Hegyes' death Thursday by the actor's family. He was 60.

A spokesman at JFK Medical Center in Edison, N.J., told the Star-Ledger newspaper that Hegyes, of Metuchen, arrived at the hospital in the morning in full cardiac arrest and died.

Hegyes was appearing on Broadway in 1975 when he auditioned for "Kotter," a TV series about a teacher who returns to the inner-city school of his youth to teach a group of remedial students. They included the character Vinnie Barbarino, played by John Travolta and Gabe Kaplan as Kotter.
