Watch: Cast & Crew Talk Superman In New Featurette From 'Man Of Steel'
May 18th 2013, 15:30

We're now a month away from seeing "Man Of Steel" on screens, and there's still several ways it could go. We could be looking at a "Batman Begins," a film that revives the franchise and goes on to bigger things. We could be seeing a "Superman Returns," one that pretty much stalls the DC hero and leaves it needing another reboot. Or we could be looking at something huge, an "Avengers" style hit. The trailers have been strong, the buzz good and screenings should be underway in a few weeks.

Until then, to tide us over, a new featurette on the film has arrived, courtesy of Walmart of all people (they're sponsoring a series of early screenings the day before the movie opens; you can find out more here). There's a fair bit of new footage, as well as slightly puff-piece-y input from Zack & Deborah Snyder, Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Costner, Russell Crowe and more. You can watch it below, and see the film in theaters on June 14th.

Yahoo In Talks To Acquire Tumblr: Reports
May 18th 2013, 14:36

Yahoo has set a Monday news conference in NY to announce “something special”, and CBNC says that CEO Marissa Mayer will be there. Could the news be that it is acquiring the social network Tumblr? Reports surfaced last night that Yahoo is mulling a deal to buy or invest in the youth-skewing blogging site, and AllThingsD, which broke the news, says Yahoo’s board is meeting tomorrow to consider an all-cash buy for $1.1B. If the deal makes it would be the biggest yet for Mayer as she looks to boost the fortunes of the company, which is still in transformation mode. Yahoo has acquired mostly small startups since she took over last July, and a potential big deal to buy a controlling stake in French video site Dailymotion was scotched by the French government earlier this month. Last month, Yahoo reported declining ad sales for the second fiscal quarter in a row, with revenue from display ads falling 11% year over year, and it reduced its revenue guidance for the current second quarter.

Sean Ellis' Philippines-set Metro Manila is bound for a remake courtesy of Fox International Productions which acquired rights earlier this week. The Sundance World Cinema Audience Award winner has now been picked up by distribution partners 108 Media and Paladin for North America. Written by Oscar- and BAFTA-nominated English filmmaker Ellis (Cashback) and Frankie E. Flowers, the thriller follows a poor farmer seeking a brighter future who takes the most dangerous job in Manila as an armored transport driver. Paladin’s Mark Urman and 108 CEO Rastogi negotiated the deal with Independent’s Abigail Walsh and Jessica Lacy, on behalf of ICM partners, who represent Ellis.

thumbnail Review: Daft Punk's 'Random Access Memories' is robotic with heart
May 18th 2013, 15:00

Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's new album explores and reimagines the sound of the past with an ear toward the future.

For a sense of the random oddities that dot Daft Punk's strange, funky, cosmic new album, "Random Access Memories," consider a partial discography of the musicians employed by the two Frenchmen in service of its creation.

Wait, I Know That Guy…I Think

If I was to walk outside and run into Idris Elba at the local fruit market, I probably wouldn’t recognize him. I might go “wait, do I…? Nah, I guess not.” I’m not a fan of The Wire (I respected the two episodes I saw but chill the eff down) and I never paid much attention to Elba’s work in RocknRolla, Takers, The Loser, Thor, Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance or Prometheus. He’s like Lady Gaga in the sense that he’s famous without having a household face. Maybe the Weinstein Co.’s Mandela flick will change that.
