 Darren Aronofsky's much-anticipated, The Fountain, has a kick ass new trailer. ?It delves deeper into the film's interlocking, multiple-time-period storyline and shows off how beautiful the imagery in this film is.

 Here's hoping this is the Will Ferrell flick that delivers. ?A great premise, solid director, and excellent cast surround him and hopefully grounds Ferrell in his best performance yet. Anchorman, Old School, and Talladega will have their moments, but Ferrell should be ready to bump it up a notch. Click on, STF opens in November.

 Redoing the franchise in CGI animation and with the original creators on-board and writing the script was a good idea and it looks like their taking themselves a little more seriously than the live-action, weird but kinda fun-ish in a bad cult kinda way original franchise. ?This flick comes out next March. ? Click on for the teaser in quicktime.

 Alfonso Cuaron (dir. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Y Tu Mama Tambien, Great Expectations) is a talented director. ?Talented directors with strong scripts make us hot. ?The premise for this film makes us hot. ?In the ugly, sad, future women have become infertile and an underground group called the human project comes knocking on one man's door...yadda yadda yadda...

 Just about every review we've read points to M. Night Shyamalan's new joint, Lady in the Water, being a watchable, almost interesting, but ultimate failure of a movie. ?M. Night needs a reality check, a friend to tell him his ideas aren't good enough and need work. ?Most reviewers who respect his abilities but loathe his stories agree he needs the big budgets and the "M. Night Shyamalan Presents.." horseshit to be taken away from him. ? Click on for the NY Times review...

 Vader Sessions is hilarious. ?Some comic genuis with serious ripping and editing time on their hands created this youtubed short with Star Wars, Episode IV footage and audio samples from James Earl "Grey" Jones' career in film. We at the D would like to know where the line, "quickest way to get a woman into bed is to get her to take a bath..." came from. ? Click over to watch the short

 On the eve of ComicCon, this could easily be someone turning the hype dial up a notch on the geek machine, but Latinoreview swears they've scooped the batnews of the century year moment. They're claiming the same insider who told them Brandon Routh was cast as Superman has now named the next Joker (or, at least the guy a deal has been extended too). His name is...(click over)

 Yep. ?They chose a director. ?Are you ready? ? Wait for it. ?French action director Louis Leterrier (dir. Unleashed, Transporter 2)! ?Yeah ok he's kind of not on the radar exactly, but he's apparently a huge Marvel fan and Avi Arad loves him so he's got that going for him. ?Meanwhile, screenwriter Zak Penn (X3) recently what kind of tone the non-remake, non-prequel, non-sequel will vibe. ?

  The Fountain may be the most anticipated flick of the fall. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, taking place in three time periods concurrently (the same cast in each time period), the story surrounds a man's quest for the foutain of youth. ?Bobby, a film directed by Emilio Estevez (yeah, him), is about the night Bobby Kennedy was shot and is told through the lives of the people that were in the same hotel that night. ?Night at the Musem is self-explanatory. ?

 CinCity2000 has posted an early review of Jack Black's upcoming "Tenacious D: Pick of Destiny." ?Preloaded with a cult following, cult-ish hype is quietly building for this flick based on a skit that Black and friend Kyle Glass first introduced to a wide audience on HBO's long-dead, Mr. Show. ?The movie is loaded with star cameo's and, according to CinCity 2000, some decent laughs. ?

 Clicking around over at Metacritic.com got us thinking about good movies vs. movies that make a shitload of fucking money (see also POTC). ?Well, according to Metacritic, the top ten best-reviewed flicks by critics all over this bitch (America) are a mix of big grossers and smaller films. ?Does it make sense to you or do the top ten money makers better represent your likes and dislikes? ?

  M. Night's Shyamalan has been getting press lately for having an enormous ego (so big, a book was written about it, sort of). ?His new film, according to the Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt, doesn't quite add up (though the flick still sounds interesting). ?Also check THR's review of the new Woody Allen, Scarlett Johansson screwball comedy, Scoop (also starring Hugh Jackman and Deadwood's Ian McShane). ?

 Another teaser poster has appeared online for next May's Spider-Man 3. ?I know what your're saying. Next summer? ?Yeah, next summer. So far, if you ask us, this summer has been a bust. ?Most flicks have fallen way short of the Everest of hype given them (we haven't seen POTC). The teaser to SM3 looked damn fine and we'd like it to open next month, but that's not gonna happen. ? See the poster and ?the website
