In what has to be the most genius move in advertising I have seen in a while, Audi has teamed up with Paramount with a new commercial designed to promote both the new Audi S7 and J.J. Abrams’ latest film, Star Trek Into Darkness, which has just been bumped up a day to a May 16th release as of this morning. But the genius part isn’t so much Audi working with Paramount, but the fact that the advertisement features Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto racing each other, with Quinto winning with the new Audi S7. Of course, much hilarity ensues. Check out Old Spock vs. New Spock after the jump!

Director Guillermo Del Toro’s Pacific Rim is definitely on every geek’s summer movie radar this year. It really doesn’t get much better than an A-list director creating a film about giant robots (called “Jaegers” in the film) facing off against giant monsters (““Kaiju”) from a different dimension.

This year at WonderCon, Del Toro debuted a new trailer for the film, which of course blew everyone away, and he felt that the trailer should not just be exclusive to WonderCon attendees because, well, it’s just too cool for words. Hit the jump to see what Del Toro had to say on the matter and view the new trailer!

This summer movie season certainly has some big shoes to fill. Last summer gave us two of the biggest blockbusters of all time with Marvel’s The Avengers and Warner Brothers’ The Dark Knight Rises, both of which raked in a killing at the box office (The Avengers made over $623 Million, and The Dark Knight Rises over $448 million) and scored big with critics and fans alike.

But while the likelihood of this summer’s most anticipated films scoring as big at the box office is probably not as high, there are sure to be quite a few just as worthy of that type of recognition, and others that are at least sure to be a lot of fun. Summer 2013 will be filled with superheroes, oversaturated muscles, giant monsters, zombies, and other geek-centric entertainment to once again provide us with at least ten great reasons to head to the cinema in the next few months. Hit the jump to check out this year’s Top 10 Movies to See This Summer!

While Iron Man 3 may be getting all the buzz right now being the first film to kick start Phase Two of the Marvel Cinematic Universe this May, another little film sequel starring another little character from The Avengers will be hitting theaters later this fall that is also worthy of just as much attention. In case you’ve been living under a rock this past year, the film I’m referring to is indeed Thor: The Dark World, and the first trailer for the film has just been release today.

In the trailer we finally get to see the inevitable reunion between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), as well as some other familiar faces, a peek at new villains, and a whole lot of action. Judging from the sheer awesomeness of this trailer, Thor: The Dark World seems to be shaping up to be the biggest fall release this year. It is certainly one of the most anticipated. Hit the jump to check out the trailer!

It has been a while since the last trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel premiered, but now we finally get another taste of the Superman reboot in the newest three-minute trailer that recently landed online, which features a slow dramatic buildup that shows us some of the devastation of Superman’s home planet Krypton and what it is like for Clark Kent to grow up on Earth keeping his true origin a secret. While this newest trailer doesn’t pack quite as much of an emotional impact as the previous one, the last minute gives us the most action we’ve seen thus far, and it does not disappoint. Check it out below!

Apple has uploaded the final domestic trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek Into Darkness, and it is definitely the best (and darkest) one yet. The trailer’s sole focus is on Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) and his quest to capture the franchise’s newest villain, played by Benedict Cumberpatch, who is absolutely menacing here. And, as is the case with any new trailer done right, we get tons of great new footage here, including the U.S.S. Enterprise taking a lot of spectacular damage as it faces its foe in a dramatic showdown in space. Hit the jump to watch!

Two new featurettes have made their way online for The Hobbit Trilogy. The first comes from IGN, in which Andy Serkis (Gollum), James Nesbitt (Bofur), and Richard Armitage (Thorin) discuss what they know about the dragon Smaug. It isn’t much, but Serkis does go into detail about what it takes to perfect the art of motion capture, which will be used to create Smaug through the performance of actor Benedict Cumberbatch, and Nesbitt expects that it will “blow people away.” Armitage even claims to have begged to see more of the dragon, since his character would have seen more of it than the rest of his company of dwarves, but of course his pleading didn’t work. Smaug is completely under lock and key, even to the actors.

The second featurette comes from Yahoo! Movies, and puts the three actors on the spot regarding the long running time of the first film, An Unexpected Journey, which some critics had a difficult time with. While this particular featurette won’t give fans the type of detailed response we can expect to get from the various documentaries that will most likely be included with the upcoming extended edition release of the film due out later this year, it does touch briefly upon why one book had to be split into three parts, and that by the time we get to the climax of the trilogy (the Battle of the Five Armies in There and Back Again), we will realize that it was well worth it to take the time to develop the characters in the first film. I, for one, had no problem with the running time, so there needn’t be an explanation for me. But it is great that even the cast members have some idea why, and are willing to address it for those who don’t quite understand.

Anyhow, check out both videos after the jump!
