This is it folks. It’s been ten years since we first witnessed the beginning of The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, and now fans can finally catch the first trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey with The Adventures of Tin Tin next week in theaters on December 21st!

This, of course, makes perfect sense since Jackson served as producer on Tin Tin. Also, since Tin Tin is playing in 3-D, it is more than likely that the trailer for The Hobbit will also be shown in 3-D, since both of The Hobbit films were shot in that format. As a fan myself, I will definitely be coughing up the extra couple of bucks to catch Tin Tin in 3-D for this very reason.

To hold you over until then, hit the jump to re-watch the fourth production video for The Hobbit, which dives into how they went about filming The Hobbit films in 3-D!

Yahoo! Movies has just released the second theatrical trailer for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. So far, based on the previous trailer as well as this one, this latest adaptation of the Marvel comic looks like it will at least top the original – which really shouldn’t be that hard. Directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (Crank) really do have quite a bit riding on this film, since the first one by director Mark Steven Johnson just didn’t really work. Looks like they could actually pull it off! Hit the jump to watch!

Some people might call Sylvester Stallone’s The Expendables a guilty pleasure at best. For me, it was cinematic genius. Fans of 80s action movies could not ask for a better throwback film to an era when it was simply all about good guys vs. bad guys. Nothing but blood, guts, and mayhem.

So needless to say, action film fans are highly anticipating The Expendables 2, once again starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture. The film also includes newcomers Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Chuck Norris. Yes, it really is that awesome. Hit the jump to check out the first teaser trailer from Apple!

I have always been a fan of the first two Men in Black movies. They’re ridiculous, hilarious, and overall pleasantly entertaining. It seriously was a genius move to team up Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in a sci-fi comedy film series, and it was only a matter of time before a third film would eventually make its way to the big screen.

Fast forward nearly ten years later, and we now finally get to take a sneak peek at Men in Black III in the first teaser trailer that debuted today on YouTube. Directed once again by Barry Sonnenfeld and shot in 3-D, the film hits theaters nationwide May 25, 2012. Check out the teaser after the jump!

For those of you not aware, much of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises was in fact shot in IMAX format. Not only that, but a 7-minute prologue of this footage will be shown in front of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol in select 70mm IMAX theaters December 16th.

Last night, the prologue was screened in Hollywood and was met with extremely high praise from those in attendance. Apparently it was simply mind-blowing (would you expect any less from Christopher Nolan?). Nolan was present at the screening to introduce the prologue and to answer questions from those in attendance. Peter Sciretta from /Film got the opportunity to ask him just how much IMAX footage will end up in the finished film, to which Nolan replied there will probably be approximately 50 minutes worth!

Disney has unleashed the first full epic trailer today for their upcoming fantasy film, John Carter, starring Taylor Kitsch. Adapted from the famous Edgar Rice Burroughs’ novel, John Carpenter of Mars, the story follows the title character as he is mysteriously transported from Earth to Mars, where he winds up entangled in an epic war amongst the inhabitants of the planet who end up depending on Carter’s leadership to pave the way for their survival.

The following preview sells the film quite well, much more so than the first teaser that debuted this past July. Definitely looking forward to this one (despite the fact that “of Mars” was dropped from the title for no apparent reason). Hit the jump to check it out!

Life’s Too Short, the new TV comedy from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant (The Office, Extras), has already been successfully entertaining British audiences since its premiere on BBC Two November 10th. While it has been known for a while that the series will premiere in February of next year in the United States on HBO, it was officially announced today that it will indeed premiere on February 19, 2012 at 10:30PM /9:30c.

This hilarious, yet endearing TV series stars actor Warwick Davis (Return of the Jedi, Willow, Harry Potter), who plays a comically fictionalized version of himself as he makes his way in the world of showbiz as well as his own personal life. While Davis is the star of the show, it also showcases numerous appearances by Gervais and Merchant, as well as a number of guest appearances by other high-profile actors such as Liam Neeson, Johnny Depp and Steve Carell. Hit the jump to watch the trailer, as well as a couple of video clips featuring Depp and Neeson!

While Glen Morgan may not be a name that is immediately recognizable to the average movie/TV fan, it is more than likely that most are familiar with his work. Whether it’d be through TV series such as 21 Jump Street, The X-Files or Millennium, or films such as Final Destination and Willard, the man has had quite an extensive career in storytelling. For me, he wrote some of my all-time favorite episodes of The X-Files, including “Home,” which was banned from network television after its first airing because of the episode’s intensely dark subject matter and visuals.

Over the years, the general perception amongst Glen Morgan fans has been that creative blood existed between he and his colleagues at Ten Thirteen Productions, and that, because of it, Morgan was unwilling to discuss his work on The X-Files, Millennium, etc. In a recent (and rare) interview conducted by Matt Allair from The X-Files Lexicon, Morgan got the chance to shed some light on the subject, as well as provide some interesting insight into his amazing career. Hit the jump to read some highlights from the interview!

This past weekend saw the debut of the first trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman, depicting a more dark and edgy take on the classic fairytale. Clearly, the film is aimed at more of an adult audience. However, with Mirror, Mirror, the other Snow White film coming out three months earlier, has a different, more younger audience in mind, as director Tarsem Singh has stated in the past that it is intended much more for kids.

In the film, actress Lily Collins portrays Snow White as an exiled princess who bands together with the seven dwarves to win back her birthright and kingdom after it was stolen by the Queen, played by Julia Roberts. The first teaser for the film puts on display its more comedic, light-hearted tone, letting us know – for better or for worse – that this will not be like Snow White and the Huntsman in any way.  Hit the jump to see for yourself!

It appears that things are really starting to come together for the film adaptation of Underworld writer Kevin Grevioux‘s upcoming graphic novel, I, Frankenstein.

Now, Variety reports that Bill Nighy, who starred in the Underworld films, is set to play a villain in the film. Read on for more info!
