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. 

Though it may not be a prequel in exactly the manner we expect, Prometheus still takes place in the Alien universe, and as such it requires a corporate shill willing to sell out the characters we actually care about.  This time, in the rich tradition of the Aliens human dicksplash Carter Burke, Charlize Theron plays Meredith Vickers, a representative of Weyland-Yutani predecessor Weyland Industries.

With just over a week until the sequel's domestic release, a new Men in Black 3 featurette is here to remind us not only that the film is on the way, but that Rick Baker is now and shall forever be a master of his craft.  This new behind the scenes featurette includes interview snippets with director Barry Sonnenfeld, as well as stars Will Smith, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson, and Jemaine Clement.

Moonrise Kingdom is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this Wednesday, and with less than two weeks until the film starts rolling out in select cities Stateside, it's time to start getting psyched.  In order to facilitate psychedness, Focus Features has released no fewer than four behind-the-scenes featurettes, all of them executed in the style of director Wes Anderson.  Each one is hosted by a noticeably amused Bob Balaban, who also narrates the film.

Earlier this week, you may have seen the featurette exploring the thematic underpinnings of Prometheus.  If so, then you might be interested in a batch of new stills from the film, as well as yet another featurette.  This one admittedly very similar to the last, though entirely more thorough, including additional material from the film, behind-the-scenes footage, and interviews with director Ridley Scott, screenwriters Jon Spaihts and Damon Lindelof, and stars Noomi Rapace, Logan Marshall-Green, and Michael Fassbender.

Enough with all this superhero business, let's get down with some science-fiction horror.  A new video featurette for Prometheus is now available, along with yet another thirty-second TV spot for Ridley Scott's return to the fictitious universe of 1979's Alien.

Ever since Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes, the usual joy I feel when seeing Bill Murray anywhere, in anything, is accompanied by the immortal exclamation of Wu-Tang's GZA in that film: "Bill-Groundhog Day-Ghostbustin'-ass-Murray!"  Needless to say, this sprang to mind during a new behind the scenes featurette for the latest from director and co-writer Wes Anderson, Moonrise Kingdom.

Usually, when folks are casually talking about movies, they ask questions like, "Who's in it?"  You rarely ever hear, "Who's the production designer?"  Well the production designer on the twenty-third cinematic adventure of James Bond is Dennis Gassner, an Oscar-winner whose credits include Big Fish, Jarhead, and a whole bunch of Coen Brothers joints.  The latest video blog from Skyfall focuses on the contribution of Gassner, the architect of Bond's environment.

Very early in a new video featurette on Dark Shadows, Michelle Pfeiffer begins, "The Collins family is," before pausing briefly and concluding, "odd."  Pfeiffer plays Elizabeth Collins-Stoddard, the matriarch of a highly dysfunctional family inhabiting the ancient, dusty old Collinwood Manor.  Every member of the family, and indeed a few characters who aren't official family members, get their moment in this new three-minute featurette.

There are precious few directors who are basically movie stars themselves, whose names and resumes are familiar enough to mass audiences to act as selling points.  Ridley Scott is one of them.  If it does absolutely nothing else, a newly released behind-the-scenes featurette from Prometheus ensures that you're psyched about Scott directing an ambitious new big budget movie, but it's also guaranteed to get your endorphins running over Scott's return to the universe of 1979 classic Alien.
