At first I thought a Lego movie would literally fall apart into multicolored pieces. The idea of a film centered on the connective building blocks sounded like a bad one.

Then 21 Jump Street helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller were brought in to direct and it was revealed that title would be Lego: The Piece of Resistance, and that Channing Tatum and Will Arnett will voice Batman and Superman, two supporting characters who will appear in the film.

And now comes word that Morgan Freeman and Elizabeth Banks are signed on to lend their voices to the film as well. This certainly sounds like anything but a bad idea.

Warner Bros. has cancelled today’s red carpet premiere in Paris at the Gaumont theater in light of the events of the Aurora shooting, where during a midnight showing of the studio’s new film The Dark Knight Rises, a gunman opened fire. The shooting, which occurred last night at the Century 16 Movie Theaters at the Aurora Town Center, located about 10 miles from Denver, CO, left 12 people dead and 59 others wounded.

Director Christopher Nolan, along with stars Christian Bale, Anne Hathaway, and Morgan Freeman, were at the hotel Le Bristol in Paris, France, to promote the film and were scheduled to appear today at a news conference, but that was been cancelled, as has several other media interviews with the cast and crew.

The Dark Knight Rises is just mere days away (eight, to be exact), and if you got the same tingling feeling from listening to the soundtrack as I did, then you are just as excited as I am to see this movie.

But that’s just a taste of the good stuff, what comes next is like the cherry on top. There’s a new IMAX poster and a “Journey” trailer, and you can check both of them out below.

Sometimes a rumor enters your eyespace that you feel has to be made up by someone who has far too much time on their hands and wanted to score some easy traffic for their site. Those are the rumors you scoff at and ignore, mumbling something no one will ever hear you say as you move on to other more reliable news sources. Then there’s the times where those rumors surface, and, no matter how fabricated they feel, must be shared with you the masses.

Last month we were surprised to find out that MGM (who’s trying to make a big comeback from near death with multiple remakes) was developing a new remake of the western classic (and remake in its own right of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai), The Magnificent Seven with Tom Cruise attached to star. That’s still as far as accurate details about the movie go, but a shiny new rumor has a trio of actors in line to join the cast that would force you to pay attention to the movie.

Released back in October 2010 the comic action-thriller RED was a pleasant surprise. Based on a DC Comics graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Cully Hammer and directed by German-born Robert Schwentke (The Time Traveler’s Wife), RED brought together a killer cast (including Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Richard Dreyfuss, Karl Urban, and Brian Cox), armed them with cutting quips and heavy artillery, and let them have a paycheck-cashing ball. It was a hoot to see a fun action flick that relied more on old school ass-kicking and witty dialogue rather than CGI fireballs. The movie was also a huge success for distributor Summit Entertainment, grossing over $200 million and making a sequel inevitable.
