Here's the most recent poster for this summer's Terminator Salvation. Though simple, the imagery is very cool. A human hand grasping the skull of a decapitated Terminator has a very ominous feeling for what looks like an intense war between humans and machines. The last trailer was pretty fantastic, and really sets us up for a different kind of Terminator story, with all the familiar feelings that the first two films gave us (including the now confirmed return of Linda Hamilton for some brief voiceover work as Sarah Connor). Another poster was released not too long ago featuring a menacing Terminator with a chain gun, and torn clothes on its skeleton. Thanks to Internet Movie Poster Awards as always for providing us with our movie poster images.

If you weren't excited about Public Enemies, you damn well better be now. The first trailer for this Johnny Depp/Christian Bale face-off just hit the net, and it's really quite remarkable that a period, action thriller can feel just like a summer blockbuster should.

The film looks fast paced, Untouchables-esque, and superbly fun. However, my only complaint is that Michael Mann's shooting style takes me out of the time period a bit. It makes what's happening on the screen feel modern for some reason. Not only are his handheld, intimate camera angles a bit too contemporary, but the HD digital video look also heightens this feeling. But fortunately it doesn't play against the quality look of the movie itself.

This is going to be a breath of fresh air in the summer blockbuster bonanza with fighting robots and superheroes, and the trailer embedded below gets me extremely excited. I gotta say though, this trailer has a bone to pick with my current and home state of Indiana. I mean was it really necessary for Johnny Depp's John Dillinger to say, ""I have absolutely nothing I want to do in Indiana." Go ahead and rub it in Edward Scissorhands!

Here's the first poster for this summer's action thriller Public Enemies. From IMDB, "acclaimed filmmaker Michael Mann directs Johnny Depp, Christian Bale and Marion Cotillard in the incredible and true story of legendary Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger (Depp), the charismatic bank robber whose lightning raids made him the number one target of J. Edgar Hoovers fledgling FBI and its top agent, Melvin Purvis (Bale), and a folk hero to much of the downtrodden public. No one could stop Dillinger."

Poster has been said to be reminiscent of one of The Dark Knight poster featuring the Joker but I like to think it's a bit more reminiscent of the Dick Tracy poster seen here, but that's just because I love that poster series.

Trailer is supposed to hit sometime later this week, so as soon as it's released we'll have it up here for your viewing pleasure. Johnny Depp versus Christian Bale is an exciting prospect. Women just want to see them wrestle in creamed corn, while men just want them to kill each other so there's one less celebrity male ruining our libidos. Also I hope that no one got in front of the lights while this was in production. Are you excited for Public Enemies?

Today saw the release of the new Terminator Salvation trailer from Yahoo! Movies and this just keeps looking better. While the first trailer highlighted much of the action and explosions, this one gives us some insight into the story that will unfold.

It's 2018 and Skynet is rounding up humans, and using their stem cells to help create more human-like cyborgs. This frightening prospect is made all the more pressing when John Connor (Christian Bale) and his team are made aware that a recently captured soldier, Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), may not be who or even what he thinks he is. He's a Terminator. From IMDB, "Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind."

This one is going to up the ante in pinning humans against the most agile looking Terminators we've seen yet. Obviously the effects change the capabilities of the iconic sliver clad cyborgs, and this is going to make for a much more intense battle. While I'm getting more excited about the film, I'm becoming internally conflicted about whether or not I'll be able to justify hating the epic fail force that is McG. Oh well, I guess if I ever really need to remember the hate, I could watch Charlie's Angels or just remember that HE CALLS HIMSELF McG!! Anyway check out the trailer below.

Here's another teaser poster for the upcoming summer blockbuster Terminator Salvation. Obviously just the name Terminator is a selling point for the film, so it's no surprise that the poster only mentions lead actors Christian Bale and Sam Worthington by name rather than in photo. However, Yahoo! Movies also released along with this one sheet image a banner image containing not only the above Terminator but also characters John Connor (Bale) and Marcus Wright (Worthington) that you can see here.

While there's some rumblings of concern over the films rating (McG says he's trying to get the R-rating that he and the fans want, but many feel the studio won't let it out without a PG-13 stamp from the MPAA), I'm still looking forward to see how this turns out. We'll see even more when a new trailer premieres this weekend in front of Watchmen.

This is just an epic week for celebrity flip outs! First Christian Bale packs some serious anger on set, and then very genuinely apologizes. But now Tracy Jordan (star of such hit movies as Who Dat Ninja, Death Bank, and Honky Grandma Be Trippin')is having NO NONSENSE on the set of his series The Girlie Show. Apparently some smart ass is pointing a camera at Tracy while he is trying to act. This is just unacceptable. How unprofessional can you be? Everytime Tracy Jordan is acting someone is pointing a camera at him. It's f*cking distracting.



In case you don't watch the NBC series 30 Rock, this is not real.

Well after all the outrage, laughs and posts about Christian Bale's fit of anger on the set of Terminator: Salvation, the man himself called into the famous Los Angeles radio station KROQ to set the records straight, and deliver a very classy apology and encouraging people not to judge him by this one incident alone and don't let it ruin the chance of seeing the movie when it comes out later this summer.

Bale said, "It’s been a miserable week for me. I know I have a pottymouth, everybody knows that now...I was out of order beyond belief, I was way out of order. I acted like a punk, I regret that and there is nobody that has heard that tape that has been hit harder by it [than me]. I make no excuses for it, it is inexcusable and I hope that is absolutely clear.”

This is definitely what everyone wanted to hear, but Bale dove into it even further, “One thing that has really disturbed me throughout this is I’m not familiar or comfortable with this notion of being a movie star. I’m an actor and I don’t quite know how to handle the movie star thing. The thing that disturbs me so much is that I’ve heard a lot of people saying that I seem to think I’m better than anybody else. Nothing could be farther from the truth. I’m a lucky, I don't want to swear here, but I never forget that and that is why I put so much into what I do and I care so much about it . Sometimes that enthusiasm just goes awry.”

It takes a lot for the guy to take this in stride and he even admits to having some laughs from the guys at KROQ during this whole debacle. If you'd like to listen to the whole phone call, which if you can't tell is very apologetic and a genuinely embarassed guy just trying to put this all behind him, you can check it out at KROQ right here. Finally, put to rest.

Well the uproar about Christian Bale's tirade on the set of Terminator: Salvation certainly turned some heads and got pretty much everyone's attention. Whether you think his behavior is justified or not, the fact is we don't really know the entire story of what happened on set (But by golly Ain't It Cool is going to tell us the OFFICIAL story and let us know that they have too much credibility to post about it other than to post about the fact that they didn't post about it and... zzzZZZzzz.)

The fact is stuff like this won't matter in the long run. People will still go see Terminator, they will still like Christian Bale's movies and fanboys will still be mad that The Dark Knight wasn't nominated for Best Picture. It was just a great bit of distraction during a slow news day that if anything brought about some laughs, and even inspired some new ones.

Below what we have is a list of a few of the gems that came out of this Christian Bale freakout fiasco, and after this last laugh we're going to bury the hatchet, or axe if you will.

The Remix - This will be played in clubs for years to come

The T-Shirt - "You and me are done professionally, man."

The Soundboard - Now you can call your co-workers and ask them what they don't f*cking understand and if McG has something to say about it.

And finally, my personal favorite, is this mash-up of the classic Bill O'Reilly flip out with Christian Bale and the result is nothing short of astounding. If only we could get these two in a room together.

Now I'm someone who really hates the gossip and bad mouthing of celebrities based on their personal life. I can't stand hearing people talk about Tom Cruise and his support and belief of scientology. With the littlest bit of information and very meticulously shaped soundbytes people disregard others without any real understanding. I totally agree with Dave Chappelle in his statement from Inside the Actor's Studio, "The worst thing to call somebody is crazy, it's dismissive, 'I don't understand this person, so they're crazy' - that's bullshit. These people are not crazy, they're strong people, maybe their environment is a little sick." I hate the obsession with celebrity in our culture. That might seem weird coming from a film/TV news blog, but my interest is professional, and focused on the production and craft of filmmaking, television production, acting and writing. Nothing on here will ever deal with disgusting tabloid gossip and paparazzi.

Having said that, I have to reference the disgusting tabloid gossip organization TMZ (And I refuse to link to their actual website) because of their snag of something outrageous that happened on the set of Terminator: Salvation. This is something obviously worthy of tabloid gossip, but I'm posting it because it shows some of the darker and not so entertaining side of the film production.

In an audio clip posted by TMZ, we can hear Batman himself, Christian Bale yelling like crazy at the director of photography on set. What appears to have happened is either during an actual shoot (or more than likely a rehearsal since a DP wouldn't change lighting mid-shot unless intentionally trying to botch a take) director of photography Shane Hurlbut needed to adjust a light, and apparently this distracted Mr. Bale during his scene with co-star Bryce Dallas Howard. The audio clip begins mid-rant and continues on for an awkward and painful length of time. There's plenty of yelling and f-bombs abound, and even a time when it sounds like Bale almost went to fight the DP. It's really embarrassing and disappointing to see (or rather hear)from an actor who has really had a stellar career be so unprofessional on set

Anyway, this really makes me wonder how difficult some actors can be to work with, when something so inconsequential that not even the director notices happens on set. Christian Bale obviously has a temper, and it definitely takes away from his professional credibility.
