The brand new domestic trailer for Looper has parked itself on the internet's front lawn after taking out the mailbox and running over a bunch of LOLcats in the process.  It's that cool, folks.  If you were expecting the second US trailer to be essentially a repeat of yesterday's version from the United Kingdom, you were sorely mistaken, as this trailer for Rian Johnson's time-traveling science fiction trip is entirely different and, somehow, even more fun than its predecessors.

With the second domestic Looper trailer set to debut online tomorrow before being attached to Ted this weekend, there's a welcome midweek surprise: a new Looper theatrical trailer from the United Kingdom.  So while you can still wet your whistle with a new trailer on the morrow, today you can get your best look so far at Rian Johnson's time-travel thriller, as the trailer shows off more story, more trippy visuals, more action, and more of Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis as the same dude.

With Moonrise Kingdom continuing to successfully expand in ever more theaters nationwide, a new promotional short film set within the sepia-toned 1965 world of the film has landed online.  Directed by co-writer and director Wes Anderson, this short makes excellent use of regular Anderson collaborator Jason Schwartzman as Cousin Ben, Camp Lebanon's finest Khaki Scout Master and lowball entrepreneur.

A new poster for The Expendables 2 has debuted online.  It reflects the simple concept at the heart of this franchise by taking a bunch of tough-looking action stars, lining them up with a bunch of guns, knives, and what have you, then surrounding them with explosions.  This effectively tells the audience, "These guys are going to be blowing some shit up." 

Already in theaters in limited release is the new film from visionary writer/director Wes Anderson (Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenenbaums) called Moonrise Kingdom. Anderson co-wrote the film with his occasional collaborator Roman Coppola (The Darjeeling Limited), and it also features performances from Rushmore alumni Bill Murray (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou), and Jason Schwartzman (Fantastic Mr. Fox), both of who have made several films with the director previously. In addition to Murray and Schwartzman, the film features several actors who have never worked with Anderson before including Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Edward Norton (The Incredible Hulk), Harvey Keitel (Pulp Fiction), Bob Balaban (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), Oscar-winners Frances McDormand (Fargo), and Tilda Swinton (Michael Clayton), as well as young newcomers Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward. 

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had the pleasure of sitting down and speaking with actors Jared Gilman and Kara Hayward about their work on Moonrise Kingdom. The two young actors discussed the new film, the casting process, developing their character's "Romeo & Juliet-type" relationship, Wes Anderson's unique directing style, their favorites of Anderson's movies, Bill Murray's goofiness on set, and what it was like working with the film's other movie stars including Bruce Willis, Edward Norton, and Academy Award-winner Frances McDormand.

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had the immense pleasure of sitting down and chatting with actor Bob Balaban about his work on Moonrise Kingdom. The distinguished actor discussed his new film, joining Wes Anderson's troupe of actors, comparisons to frequent collaborator Christopher Guest's group of actors, Anderson's unique directing style, Alfred Hitchcock, the difficult challenge of playing the film's narrator, and how he emotionally related to the other characters in the movie.

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had the immense pleasure of sitting down and chatting with director Wes Anderson, via satellite from London, about his work on Moonrise Kingdom. The impressive director discussed his new film, how he feels about it being described as Romeo and Juliet meets Rushmore, casting the film's young actors, inviting a new group of actors into his cinematic world, and why he likes working with constant collaborators Bill Murray and Jason Schwartzman. 

The first TV spot for The Expendables 2 is now available online.  It crams about as much testosterone into thirty seconds as it can, doing so via gunfire, flexing, beret-wearing, explosions, and gunfire.

Here's something you don't see every day: a high-profile franchise summer sequel just a month out from release getting delayed by a whopping nine months.  Yet that's exactly what is happening to G.I. Joe: Retaliation.  The sequel/sorta-kinda reboot to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was set for nationwide release on June 29th, but has been suddenly pushed back to a new release date, on March 29, 2013.

Here's a Moonrise Kingdom-based treat, even for those unfortunate moviegoers who can find no joy in the fantastically detailed cinematic worlds of Wes Anderson.  Said treat is a new video featurette that does include new material from the film but is mostly Bill Murray hanging out on the set and riffing about the movie like the world's foremost smartass.
