Fans of The X-Files TV series and movies know that a third film has been talked about ever since The X-Files: I Want to Believe came and went in 2008, despite the second film not performing as well at the box office as 20th Century Fox had hoped it would. Various members of The X-Files cast and crew have expressed a strong desire to make a third movie, including actors David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson, as well as creator Chris Carter and producer Frank Spotnitz. While some were let down by the last film, most X-Philes still want that third movie that would deal with alien colonization in 2012 – a subject that was arguably the biggest plot point of the entire series that never really got resolved because, well, it wasn’t the year 2012 when the series ended.

But, now that 2012 is here, and the Mayan calendar is coming to an end on December 21st, fans of the series have been questioning whether or not a third movie is even possible this year. In response, Spotnitz addressed the issue in a blog post today over at his Big Light website (I like to think my recent message I sent Spotnitz compelled him to write it… wink, wink). Read on to see what he had to say regarding the possibility of a third X-Files film being released this year!

Last year, for some random reason, Norton released a behind-the-scenes featurette to promote Marvel’s Captain America: The First Avenger film. While it was sort of an annoying product placement ad, it was a pretty good featurette documenting the beloved superhero.

Today, in order to “assemble the ultimate protection” (get it?), Norton goes behind the scenes of Marvel’s The Avengers in a brand new featurette that talks about the lead up to the film over the last few years. It doesn’t really tell us anything we didn’t already know, but we do get treated to a tiny bit of new footage, and anything new to see from the most anticipated movie from Marvel is a treat.

Even though Mirror, Mirror has yet to make its way into theaters, I think it is already safe to say that Snow White and the Hunstman is the Snow White film we are all really looking forward to this year (okay, I know, kids will love Mirror, Mirror). This particular retelling of the classic tale does not appear to have the light-hearted, comedic tone that Mirror, Mirror has, but rather a darker, more epic feel on the scale of The Lord of the Rings films, which I’m sure will sit much better with adult audiences.

While the first trailer set the stage for what to expect with the film, this new trailer gives us more of the story, shows off more of the acting from the main cast (Charlize Theron appears to be quite exceptional), and visually lets us know that we have no reason to expect anything less than monumental with its special effects and action sequences. It will most likely never be the next Lord of the Rings (go see The Hobbit this December for that), but it appears to have some serious potential – despite Snow White being played by Twilight’s Kristen Stewart. And hey, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is in it! Hit the jump to watch this incredible trailer!

If you thought the teaser that debuted this past December for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus was jaw-dropping, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. The new full trailer – for what I like to call the “kinda-sorta” prequel to Scott’s original 1979 Alien film – has finally made its way online today, and it does not disappoint. Not only does it do a great job at convincing us that this film will be everything fans of the Alien franchise have been hoping for, but it also shows that this film truly has the potential to be the summer film to end all summer films this year. To put it bluntly, it looks epic… and terrifying. Hit the jump to watch!

After hearing about the film for quite a while now, and seeing various images pop up online, Apple has finally debuted the first trailer for director Tim Burton’s Dark Shadows a mere two and a half months before the film’s release on May 11th. The film, based on the hit gothic horror soap opera that aired from 1966-1971, stars Johnny Depp (who else?) as the vampire Barnabas Collins, originally played by actor Johnathan Frid in the TV series.

The original show featured werewolves, ghosts, witches, warlocks, zombies, and other supernatural elements, which helped it gain quite the cult following over the years. Judging from the trailer for Tim Burton’s feature film adaptation, Burton seems to be going for more of a comedic tone, which is somewhat odd because the original TV series, while campy by today’s standards, certainly wasn’t considered a comedy. Hit the jump to watch the trailer and see what you think.

Ever since I was nine years old and first saw Back to the Future Part II in the theater, the one thing I wanted (and every other kid my age wanted) more than anything was a real hoverboard like the one Marty McFly rides in the film. I completely believed at the time that it was a real possibility we’d have them by 2015. Well, the year 2015 is less than three years away now, and we’re still waiting on Mattel to invent that hover technology so that we can all air skate.

However, last month Mattel announced that they are in fact actually producing a movie accurate prop replica of the hoverboard, which is officially available for pre-order now through March 20th for $120.00. It is 1:1 replica that, while unable to actually “hover,” does in fact glide over most smooth surfaces and makes the actual sounds the hoverboard makes in the film. It is probably the closest thing we’ll ever get to the real thing, and it really does look amazing, so you might want to cough up the dough for this purchase now. Of course, the running joke from Mattel right now is that we’ll just have to wait until 2015 for one that actually hovers…

A new video has been released which goes over every detail regarding this amazing replica, and you can watch it below!

Men in Black III has been through quite a bit in the last year with scheduling delays and script rewrites, and the teaser trailer released this past December seemed to indicate that the film may have suffered a bit from all of it. However, it was only a teaser, and didn’t really give us a good look at the film.

Today, the first full theatrical trailer has debuted online, and it definitely makes the film look a bit better. As someone who found the first two MIB films to be quite uniquely entertaining (albeit a bit too wacky, even for my taste), my hopes have been raised after watching this trailer. The movie looks like it will sit alongside the first two quite well and simply provide audiences with some good ol’ fashioned summer popcorn movie entertainment. Hit the jump to watch!

The first production video of 2012 for Peter Jackson’s two-film adaptation of The Hobbit is now online! This marks the 6th video blog overall from the production, and it is essentially a continuation of the last production video, showing us more of the incredible location shooting in New Zealand. We also get to see more of Andy Serkis (Gollum) in action as second unit director. Hit the jump to head back to Middle Earth!
