Opening in theaters nationally on May 24th is the new drama What Maisie Knew, which is based on the popular book of the same name by Henry James. The film was helmed by the directorial team of Scott McGehee and David Siegel (Bee Season), and features an all-star cast that includes Academy Award-nominee Julianne Moore (The English Teacher), Alexander Skarsgard (Disconnect), Steve Coogan (Tropic Thunder), and newcomer Onata Aprile. 

IAR's New York correspondent Dana Gardner recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Julianne Moore to talk about her work on What Maisie Knew. The Academy Award-nominated actress discussed her new movie, what attracts her to projects and ultimately drew her to this script, her complex character, playing a rockstar, working with young actress Onata Aprile, collaborating with directing team Scott McGehee and David Siegel, and what novel she would love to adapt into a film some day.

If you didn't know that World War Z is about a zombie pandemic, two new thirty-second TV spots for the adaptation might not clue you in.

There are several now familiar shots of digital undead hordes unstoppably piling on top of one another like fire ants, but that makes these zombies more of a blurry pileup.  Given the current pop cultural saturation of skull-scrapers and the Z in the title, you could probably guess what's going on, but both spots are more focused on Brad Pitt, his onscreen family, and the civilization-crumbling effect of all those zombies.

Apparently there's a department store-style photography studio in the Battle School, because Andrew "Ender" Wiggin and Colonel Graff are posing for a Sears portrait in our latest look at Ender's Game.

Pickups on the next two installments of The Hobbit Trilogy have commenced in New Zealand!

Apparently Divergent involves Shailene Woodley's character facing many, many unpleasant challenges.

The first look at this young adult novel adaptation and hopeful franchise-starter showed Woodley as Beatrice Prior having knives thrown in the area around her face.  Now, our second official image from Divergent has Tris standing on a vertigo-inducing precipice with the Chicago skyline looking pretty in the background.

The sun persists in rising, so a new The Hunger Games: Catching Fire makes itself stand.

"Look at all my shit," says a cornrowed James Franco.  "All this shit!  I got shurikens, I got blue Kool-Aid, I got Oz the Great and Powerful, I got Spring Breakers"

"I got the first trailer for As I Lay Dying, which I directed, wrote and star in.  This is my American dream.  Look at all my shit."

With Cloud Atlas arriving on Blu-ray, audiences can experience a film that's unlike any other they've ever seen, and they can do it from the comfort of their own home.

On Tuesday, May 15th, one of last year's most underrated and misunderstood movies finally hits shelves both physical and virtual on Blu-ray, DVD, and digital download.  But if you want to truly feel the scope, size, and emotion of Cloud Atlas, only the topnotch presentation provided by Blu-ray will do.

It looks as though Universal Pictures and Focus Features may have found the keymaster for the Red Room of Pain.

No less a helmer than Joe Wright is reportedly the frontrunner to direct the joint venture that is the Fifty Shades of Grey adaptation.

As promised, Summit Entertainment has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Ender's Game, the long awaited adaptation of the dearly loved novel by Orson Scott Card.
