As you can read in IAR's coverage from the ground at WonderCon in Anaheim, the panel for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter included no shortage of goodies, such as an extended clip and a new theatrical trailer.  Luckily for those of us who couldn't make it to Anaheim, the second theatrical trailer for the history/action/horror mashup is available to view online right now.  It demonstrates once again that, despite the ludicrous premise, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter takes itself very seriously.

Last summer's X-Men: First Class ended with a snap, crackle, and pop, as erstwhile BFFs Professor Xavier and Magneto ended up on opposite ends of the spectrum agitating for mutant rights.  While Xavier set about establishing his school for gifted youngsters, Magneto adopted his codename and helmet to bring the fight to the Man.  That doesn't mean, however, that Erik Lensherr will be twirling his mustache as an arch villain in the planned sequel, though.  According to screenwriter Simon Kinberg, Magneto will remain a conflicted character in the continuation.

What if, instead of being a high school student, Buffy, the eponymous vampire slayer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, were, in fact, the 16th President of the United States of America on an quest to avenge the death of his mother by a secret vampire consortium?  Okay, that doesn't make much sense, but we're talking about a movie called Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, so why am I being held to some standard of sense.  Today, a handful of new images from this summer's 3D feature smooshing together Civil War history and vampire-mania arrived online, and all four feature Benjamin Walker as Abe himself.

2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine was commercially successful, but critics and audiences didn't exactly fall in love with the film and there was a general sense that the X-Men franchise might be running out of steam.  Then last summer, X-Men: First Class pulled a Batman Begins, basically rebooting the series and setting it in a promising new direction.  20th Century Fox has indicated it would continue with a sequel to the prequel and even hired a writer to do some work, but its been an open question whether or not Matthew Vaughn would return for another round. 

When you think romance, you think of two best friends and CIA agents who discover they're both dating the same woman and subsequently engage in an escalating series of attempts to thwart each other and win her affections, right?  Right.  In that spirit, 20th Century Fox has announced that This Means War – starring Chris Pine and Tom Hardy as the CIA agents sublimating their homoerotic feelings into a competition to win Reese Witherspoon – will now hit theaters on February 14th of this year.

A month ago, the first poster for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter made use of lenticular shiftiness, showing a shadowy Benjamin Walker as the 16th U.S. President sitting both in the White House and a spooky, moonlit field.  A new second poster continues the theme of Walker in repose, but does so with a lot more light, putting him on the Lincoln Memorial with his trusty ax.

All the attention regarding cinematic Marvel superheroes is currently aimed at The Avengers, the big ensemble crossover brewing for next summer.  But what's the status of the Marvel heroes whose movie rights reside over at 20th Century Fox?  We know The Wolverine should go into production in 2012, but beyond that, plans aren't exactly clear.  Fans would love to see a continuation of the prequel universe established in X-Men: First Class, but it remains to be seen if that will come together.  Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairman and Chief Executive Officer Tom Rothman recently offered a little clarification on the potential sequel's development, and also chimed in on the studio's reboots for both Daredevil and Fantastic Four.

20th Century Fox has dropped an international trailer for This Means War, an action comedy in which two sexy, globe-trotting CIA agents who regularly engage in gunfights, huge stunts, and the like, discover that they're both dating the same woman.  Rather than talk it out or set their desire for her aside for the sake of their long friendship, these two decide to turn said woman into the principal metric for a massive pissing contest, each trying to win her heart whilst sabotaging his rival.  Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play the spies who are obviously in love with each other, while Reese Witherspoon plays the object of their sublimated homoerotic affections.  This international trailer gives a taste for the film's juggling act between broad action and broad comedy, as it includes a few explosions and Hardy getting shot in the nuts with a paintball gun.

For a while there, it appeared that movies based on board games would be the next fad in tentpole filmmaking, but several projects lost momentum and the board game-movie future is in question.  One such would-be movie is a family-oriented action adventure that uses the Ouija board as its conceptual jumping off point, and though Ouija recently lost its studio home, it is not yet dead.  In a demonstration of the fact that Ouija is indeed alive and kicking, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Marti Noxon, a writer with geek credibility to burn, has signed on to take over scripting duties on the project.

Remember the trailer for This Means War, the action-comedy in which Chris Pine and Tom Hardy play CIA agents and best bros who discover that they're dating the same woman, played by Reese Witherspoon?  You know, the one where, rather than dealing with the situation like reasonable people with human emotions, they engage in an escalating battle to win her heart, misappropriating what must be thousands and thousands of dollars in elaborate attempts to sabotage each other?  That's the one.  Today, we have no less than three new images from the film, all over which feature Hardy and Pine dressed like debonair secret agents, and two with Witherspoon in the mix, acting as a living embodiment of their repressed homoerotic relationship (that last part is pure conjecture).
