Though he's best known as the author who created mega-lothario and hyper-capable spy James Bond, the subject of the longest-running film franchise in history, Ian Fleming also lived quite a fascinating life.  The journalist and novelist whose most famous creation lives on in this year's Skyfall could ably support his own movie, particularly one involving his exploits during World War II.  And it seems the late Ian Fleming will finally be getting that movie, with a terrific director to boot.

As promised last week, a new "Super Preview" for The Amazing Spider-Man debuted tonight during the season premiere of America's Got Talent.  "What in the hell is a super preview," you ask?  Well, in this case, it's four minutes worth of footage from the 3D reboot of Marvel's webslinging hero.

Just like Terry Crews so enthusiastically promised in yesterday's preview of a preview, the full theatrical trailer for The Expendables 2 has made its ostentatious online debut. 

As you'd expect, the sequel to 2010's The Expendables looks like a quiet drama focused on subtle, telling interactions between complex, nuanced characters in a world not of their own making. 

Opening in theaters on April 13th is a new science fiction action film from writer/producer Luc Besson (Taken, The Transporter) and directors James Mather and Stephen St. Leger called Lockout.

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to sit down with actress Maggie Grace to discuss her work on Lockout.

Lockout arrives in theaters less than a week from now, but the first five minutes of the sci-fi actioner are available online right now.  It's actually more like the first four and a half minutes, but five just sounds better, doesn't it?  In those four-plus minutes, you get to see a whole of Guy Pearce being really damn cool.  He's cool when he's being brutally interrogated and he's cool in action-packed flashbacks, so here's no excuse not to give the extended clip a sampling.

As promised on Monday, the first trailer for Oliver Stone's Savages has arrived online, following up the nicely executed poster that debuted at the beginning of this week.  Narrated by Blake Lively, the trailer lays out the basic story, which starts with a pair of Orange County entrepreneurs whose with a thriving marijuana concern that ends up bringing them to the attention of the Mexican Baja Cartel.

Opening in U.S. theaters on April 6th is the Australian action/drama The Hunter, which was helmed by first-time feature film director Daniel Nettheim and based on the novel by Julia Leigh. The film features an Oscar-worthy performance by iconic American actor Willem Dafoe (Platoon, Spider-Man), as well as an excellent cast that also includes Sam Neil (Jurassic Park), and Frances O'Connor (A.I. Artificial Intelligence). 

IAR's Managing Editor Jami Philbrick recently had a chance to sit down with director Daniel Nettheim to discuss his work on The Hunter. Netheim talked about the new film; it's influences, tone, adapting the novel, music, Dafoe's isolated character; working with the two-time Academy Award-nominated actor, and the beauty of the Tasmanian Tiger.
