VIDEO: Longer Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Trailer

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, MGM, Action, Adaptation, Mystery, Remakes, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,

Behold, the 8-minute long, new trailer for David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.

While it serves as a more in-depth look at the plot for viewers who haven't seen the Swedish original, the new trailer also confirms for those who have seen the 2009 adaptation that Fincher isn't straying too far from the material. Additionally, it's always nice to get some extra footage of Rooney Mara being a general badass as Lisabeth Salander.

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - which also stars Daniel Craig, Stellan Skarsgard, and Christopher Plummer - comes out in theaters on December 21.

2010 Academy Award Nominations

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: DreamWorks, FOCUS, Disney, Lionsgate, Paramount, Sony, Universal, Warner Bros, Weinstein Company, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Animation, Biopics, Drama, Family, Music, Musicals, Period, Science Fiction, Comedy, Sports, Thrillers, Awards, Celeb News, Lists,

After the list of Academy Award nominees were announced this morning, two movies rose to the top of the pack. Avatar and The Hurt Locker - helmed respectively by James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow - both lead the field with nine nominations each. Thankfully, the formerly married directors still get along.

Even though this will be the first time since 1943 (when Casablanca won) that ten films will go up for Best Film, this year’s list only revealed a handful of surprises. Those who have been following other ceremonies during this awards season saw very little changes in the acting categories.

Here are some of the noteworthy mentions/omissions from today’s nominations:

• Many had hoped The Hangover, Star Trek and/or (500) Days of Summer would go up for Best Picture. Many were left disappointed.
• Is this the first time Daniel Day-Lewis wasn’t nominated for simply breathing?
• Acting queen Meryl Streep is up now up for her sweet 16th nomination for her role in Julie & Julia. (I believe I will one day see her 20th.)
• Speaking of leading women, there will be three newcomers going up against vets Streep and Helen Mirren (The Last Station): Sandra Bullock (The Blind Side), Carey Mulligan (An Education) and Gabourey Sidibe (Precious)—someone who wasn’t even an actress to begin with!
• Disney/Pixar’s Up will be double-dipping it this year. The feature has been nominated in both the Best Film and Best Animated Film categories.
