Recently at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, producer/ writer Robert Rodriguez showed a peek to his latest film, 'Predators.'

Directed by Nimrod Antal, the film stars Adrien Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walton Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, and Louiz Ozawa.
A bold new chapter in the Predator universe, 'Predators' was shot on location under Rodriguez's creative auspices at the filmmaker's Austin-based Troublemaker Studios.

Adrien Brody stars as Royce, a mercenary who reluctantly leads a group of elite warriors who come to realize they've been brought together on an alien planet... as prey. With the exception of a disgraced physician, they are all cold-blooded killers – mercenaries, Yakuza, convicts, death squad members – human "predators" that are now being systemically hunted and eliminated by a new breed of alien Predators.

20th Century Fox will release the film on July 7.

Directed by Sanaa Hamri ('Something New') and written by Michael Elliot ('Brown Sugar'), 'Just Wright' stars Queen Latifah as Leslie Wright, a straight-shooting physical therapist who gets the gig of a lifetime working with NBA All-Star Scott McKnight (played by Common).

All is going well until Leslie finds herself falling for Scott, forcing her to choose between the gig of a lifetime and the tug-of-war inside her heart. Oblivious to her romantic overtures, McKnight is instead drawn to the affections of Leslie's gorgeous childhood friend Morgan (played by Paula Patton), who has her sights set on being an NBA trophy wife. Is Leslie destined to play the role of "best friend" forever or will Scott finally see that what he always wanted is right in front of him?

Set against the exciting world of championship basketball, the game of love takes on the battle of the sexes in the romantic sports comedy 'Just Wright', starring three of Hollywood's most charismatic personalities as they navigate the full-court-press of love.

The film is Produced by Debra Martin Chase, Queen Latifah and Shakim Compere, the film also stars Phylicia Rashad, Pam Grier, James Pickens, Jr. and features NBA all star cameos.
Fox Searchlight will release the film on May 14.

James Cameron's Avatar continued its reign at the box office for the third week in a row. The film grossed $68.3 million domestically and surpassed the $1 billion mark worldwide, only the fifth film in history to do that.

Avatar has grossed $352.1 million domestically in only 17 days and has made $1.02 billion worldwide. 20th Century Fox distribution executive Bert Livingston attributed the continued strong showing to positive word-of-mouth and repeat viewers. Most blockbusters open big and then slowly die off in the coming weeks while Avatar's gross has been consistent from week to week.


"It's like a runaway freight train. It just keeps doing business," Livingston said. "Here's what's happening: I think everybody has to see 'Avatar' once. Even people who don't normally go to the movies, they've heard about it and are saying 'I have to see it.' Then there's those people seeing it multiple times."

Cameron's Titanic is the biggest worldwide blockbuster with grosses of $1.8 billion.
Coming in second for the weekend was Sherlock Holmes with $38.4 million, followed by Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel with $36.6 million. The Meryl Streep comedy, It's Complicated, came in at no. 4 with $18.7 million.

Hollywood set a record in 2009 with $10.7 billlion in ticket sales domestically.

This year, Christmas offers some starry gifts for moviegoers – an array of movies in all genres. But which flick will you be lining up for?

Penélope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Kate Hudson and Fergie sing, dance and vamp through the musical Nine. Robert Downey Jr. teams up with Jude Law and Rachel McAdams in Guy Ritchie's action-adventure take on the classic Sherlock Holmes.

Meanwhile, George Clooney plays a suave jetsetter with one tough job in his Golden Globe-nominated Up in the Air. And Alec Baldwin and Meryl Streep play exes who rekindle their romance in Nancy Meyers' comedy, It's Complicated.

Get you girlfriends together because it's time for "Sex In The City 2" Who's ready to "Carrie" ON?

Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx attended the premiere of their new thriller, ‘Law Abiding Citizen,’ on Tuesday night in Hollywood.

“Sometimes I get really worked up before these premieres, but today I’ve been really relaxed, because this is my movie. I produced this, and I’m in it, and I’m so excited and I want to just enjoy it,” Gerard told ET on the red carpet.

In the film, Gerard’s character is out for revenge after his family is brutally killed and Jamie, who plays the lawyer who he believes betrays him, is his No. 1 target.

‘Law Abiding Citizen’ hits theaters October 16. Do you have any plans on seeing it??

I love horror movies, that pretty much all I watch. "A Nightmare On Elm Street" is obviously a classic. I definitely want to see this remake, I'm sure it'll be entertaining as they seem to have included a bit more on the reason why Freddy is the way he is. But I mean come on, when are remakes ever better than the original? It's something about when I was a kid that still makes me afraid of the original!!!!! You'll have to wait till April 30th to see this.

No, the Twilight sequel isn't out for weeks yet, but you can still drool like a werewolf over news photos from the set of New Moon at the Los Angeles Times' Hollywood Backlot. Photographer David Strick shot the members of the onscreen love triangle – Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner – on a chilly night in a forest outside Vancouver, as they filmed scenes with director Chris Weitz into the wee hours.

Prepare to be scared.

In New Moon, the second installment in Stephenie Meyer's wildly popular Twilight saga, readers are first introduced to the ancient ruling class of vampires known as the Volturi. Determined to capture their creepy menace for his screen version opening Nov. 20, New Moon director Chris Weitz has given them custom-crafted blood-red eyes.

"They're all hand-painted, specially manufactured contacts," Weitz tells PEOPLE. "They're opaque red, almost like preying mantis eyes. You can't really see into them. There's something terribly off-putting about it."

British actor Michael Sheen (The Queen) plays Aro, leader of the Italian blood-sucking clan. Although Aro and his brothers Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) and Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) have been "alive" for thousands of years, Weitz says he "deliberately" gave them a younger look in the film – for which he credits author Meyer.


"Stephenie was very keen to steer away from a kind of wizard-y look for the vampires," says Weitz. "They do look quite young, but they convey a formality and self-possession, which comes from age."

Perhaps most lethal of all the Volturi is Jane (Dakota Fanning), an angelic-looking vampire who inflicts torture on her victims. "She is very strange and very spooky in this movie," says Weitz. "I think [Dakota] wanted to play an evil character for once."

With all the socializing the actors of The Twilight Saga are doing in Vancouver, it's easy to forget that the cast is cranking out two feature films this year. But the second trailer Summit Entertainment has released of New Moon proves they've been hard at work.

Taylor Lautner narrates the action-packed trailer, which features glimpses of the 17-year-old actor shirtless, showing off the chiseled torso he worked on to land the role of Jacob.

"Jacob has changed in a lot of different ways," Lautner says in the trailer. "He's bigger, he's 30 pounds bigger!"

The actor, who is currently with the cast in Vancouver and set to begin filming Eclipse, says his physique isn't the only thing in New Moon that's different from Twilight.

"New Moon is a lot more complicated than Twilight was," he says. "As time goes on, the heat starts building. New Moon is going to be stepped up a whole other notch. There's going to be a lot more action, especially with the werewolves involved."

He adds, "I think the fans are really going to be happy."
