Some new goodies have been released from Tron: Legacy, The Walt Disney Company’s much-anticipated sequel to their 1982 classic, Tron.

Said goodies include a shiny new publicity image that has been released, and in an interview with MTV, director Joseph Kosinski shared some new details on the characters in the movie, whether the film will play in IMAX, and if this is the beginning of a brand new franchise.

Tron: Legacy is still almost a year away from its December 2010 release, but they’re certainly staying in the public eye and maintaining attention so far. We shall see how that all holds up over the next ten months or so!

The image above was release a while back, but is still fun to check out if you have not seen it. Click on over to the other side to see the brand new publicity image and read some quotes from Kosinski.

For the unaware, there is indeed a new movie on the way called Hot Tub Time Machine, and it looks hilarious. The movie is basically a cross between Old School, Ski School, and Back to the Future. It follows a group of four friends who drink themselves silly and somehow wake up in the year 1986. I guess Dave Attell was right when he called drinking until you black out “time travel.”

The movie stars Craig Robinson, Clark Duke, Rob Corddry, and the perfect and required ’80s throwback casting of none other than John Cusack! Also appearing in the movie is Lizzy Caplan and a couple other potentially amusing ’80s throwback castings in Crispin Glover and Chevy Chase.

A regular family-friendly version of the trailer was released a while back, but we all know that the most fun comes from the Red Band trailers. Instead of choosing, you can click over to the other side now and watch both trailers. If you’re at work, go green; if you’re home alone, definitely go red.

If you don’t know by now, The Runaways are one of my favorite bands of all time, so you can imagine that I’m quite psyched for the upcoming movie based on the 1970s all-girl rock band.

The Runaways, directed by Floria Sigismondi, stars Twilight‘s Kristen Stewart as a teenage Joan Jett with Dakata Fanning playing the band’s lead singer Cherie Currie. A new clip from The Runaways has been released (watch it here below) which shows how the young Currie first met the totally badass Jett along with Runaways mastermind, manager Kim Fowley (Michael Shannon).

Also debuting exclusively today over at MTV is the teaser poster for the film, which will be released in theaters on March 19, 2010. The Runaways will actually play first at the Sundance Film Festival this Sunday.

If you’re not sure what the teaser poster means, it’s a nod to the band’s most popular tune “Cherry Bomb.”

Surrogates, based on the Top Shelf graphic novel The Surrogates by Robert Venditti, stars Bruce Willis as a cop in a future where people don’t leave the house. Instead, they interact through the world by using robots or “Surrogates.” But now, someone has found a way to kill the users and Willis has to track down the killer before the whole system collapses.

Surrogates arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on January 26, 2010. To prepare you for the release, we have some facts to pass along to you about Surrogates that you may not know, along with some behind-the-scenes photos from the film.

Deadline Hollywood is reporting that a decision has finally been made on who will star as Conan the Barbarian and fill the shoes once occupied by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the new Marcus Nispel remake, Conan.

Initial word indicates that Jason Momoa will be the man wielding the massive sword, after he beat out other candidates Kellan Lutz of Twilight fame, and Jared Padalecki, who starred in Nispel’s Friday the 13th reboot. Apparently the selection of an actor was close, but Nispel filmed some test footage recently with Momoa swinging a giant sword around and this was enough to wow the executives at Lionsgate, winning him the prize.
