But what if the actors who were originally approached to play the roles had said “yes” instead of “no?” With Jennifer Hudson’s revelation in her new book that she turned down the title role in ‘Precious’ that put Gabourey Sidibe on the map, it’s a good time to take a look at some

In a story that shouldn’t surprise anyone looking forward to ‘The Hobbit,’ a student at Princeton’s Forbes College made a Tolkienesque bow and arrow by hand, which he then briefly left at his campus Wawa store. Naturally, it was stolen. As is the norm these days, the student took to the internet to report the incident to try and get the handcrafted weapon back.

The ultimate superhero crossover movie is almost here. Marvel released the full trailer for ‘The Avengers’ today, which shows Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Nick Fury in action. While the teaser trailer hinted at the action to come, this new trailer lays it all out there for you (including plenty of shots of a rampaging Hulk).

While there are famous films that have endured ('Metropolis,' 'Nosferatu') the general public might need a reintroduction to some interesting silent movies since it's been some 70 years since their debut.

It’s only fitting that after the 2012 Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel would debut a trailer for the most epic, star-studded movie of all-time. It’s over eight minutes long, stars 2012 Oscar nominees George Clooney, Gary Oldman, and Meryl Streep plus Matt Damon, Jessica Alba, Samuel L.
