Considering how much Kevin Smith hates having his surprises spoiled online, he got really lucky with the new on-set photos from his latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Slashfilm is now hosting a couple photos taken on set at a local mall, as well as some shaky camera footage of the man at work. Nothing groundbreaking, but hey, Smith always brings a smile to my face, so I'm not complaining.

Zack and Miri is the story of two childhood friends who are brought together again at their high school reunion. The two then come up with the idea of making a porn flick together. Seth Rogen stars as Zack and Elizabeth Banks plays Miri. Originally the role had been written for Rosario Dawson, but she backed out to work on Eagle Eye with Shia LaBeouf.

Rehearsals for the film started back in January, and judging by Smith's posting on his personal blog, things seem to be going well. Smith wrote that, "I've got a guy whose inflections I wrote for/to reading the scenes and sounding like he's not acting at all, as much as being the character. I've got a chick who could read the Bible aloud and make it seem charming. They're naturals. They're excellent". OK, so Smith has never been known to be less than totally committed to his films for better or for worse. Luckily, it looks like this one is going to be one of the better ones. Zack and Miri Make a Porno is scheduled for release later this year.

Pictured Above: Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro star in Things We Lost in the Fire.

And I don't know about you, but it looks like Benicio Del Toro lost some of his hair gel in this fire. Cinematical has just received four exclusive photos from the upcoming drama Things We Lost in the Fire, directed by Susanne Bier and starring Halle Berry and Benicio Del Toro. The film centers on Audrey (Berry), a woman whose life was shattered following the death of her husband. While attempting to pick up the pieces, she decides to help out her husband's good friend (Del Toro), a lawyer, who's hit some hard times, by inviting him to live with her and her two kids. Together they navigate their ups and downs, while forming a bond that will ultimately set them both on the right path. Personally, I find this on-screen pairing to be a fascinating one, and with the fabulous acting talents of Del Toro by her side, I'm expecting Berry to up her game and churn out a winner. You can check out the pics in the gallery below -- Things We Lost in the Fire arrives in theaters on October 19.

Is it bad that part of me doesn't care whether Righteous Kill turns out to be the crummiest, most overly-hyped piece of garbage this side of the equator? Is it wrong for me to say that I'll probably enjoy it for the simple fact that Robert De Niro and Al Pacino will finally -- after all these years -- be able to share some quality screen time? And is it horrific of me to believe that these two guys could play hop-scotch for an hour and a half, and I'd still leave the theater with a smile on my face? Probably not, since I have a feeling a lot of you are in the same boat as I. I think. Yup, thanks to some dude named Sean Henri, we get a first look at De Niro and Pacino together on the set of Righteous Kill. As of now, Henri only has two pics up on his blog (although he does promise more), in which both De Niro and Pacino can be seen walking up to what appears to be an apartment door, as well as one showing them standing in front of a Tow Away Zone sign (which is the pic you see to the right of your screen -- click on it for a larger version, courtesy of Sean Henri).

Directed by Jon Avnet (who helmed the still-unreleased Pacino flick 88 Minutes), and written by Inside Man scribe Russell Gerwitz, Righteous Kill follows two veteran detectives (De Niro, Pacino) who team up to track down a serial killer. The film also stars John Leguizamo, 50 Cent, Donnie Wahlberg, Brian Dennehy and the very adorable Carla Gugino (who I just happen to have a major crush on). Martin Scorsese is also rumored to have a cameo in the film as Lt. Winnfield, although nothing official was ever announced. But it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he showed up for a brief scene just to have the opportunity to square off in a room against his old pal and a guy who, surprisingly, has never starred in one of his films. Go figure there, huh? Anyway, enjoy the pics and look out for Righteous Kill to hit theaters sometime next year.

It might just be me, but every time I turn around it seems like The Invasion has released another batch of photos, a trailer, or a new poster in the hopes of drumming up some business for the production. Now ComingSoon.net is hosting a brand new gallery of images from the film. Actually, I'm sure we have seen some of these before, but at least this grouping has some more action-packed images to choose from. It's no secret that the film has been making headlines for over a year, with news of massive re-shoots being undertaken by the WB's sci-fi/action duo, The Wachowski Brothers, as well as James McTeigue (V for Vendetta), reportedly to liven up some of the film's action sequences. All of this without the involvement of original director Oliver Hirschbiegel.

The film is a loose update of the 1955 classic, The Body Snatchers and even 52 years later, if it's done right, the tale of conformity and paranoia should probably resonate with audiences. This version stars Nicole Kidman as a psychiatrist living in D.C. when a mysterious space shuttle crash seems to be turning local residents into mindless drones. Along with her doctor friend (Daniel Craig), she tries to unravel the mystery of what has happened while trying to locate her son, who "may hold the key to stopping the devastating invasion." This latest gallery will probably be the last we get from the film until it hits theaters on August 17th, and considering that the photos do not give too much away, there is still plenty of room for surprises.

This time with more blur! The problem with this mysterious Cloverfield movie is that after the hype machine blew through for a period of about a week and a half, things have calmed down and no one seems to care much anymore about figuring out what the hell J.J. Abrams has up his sleeve. Folks like to play games for a little while, but there comes a time when they tire of the mind-fu**ing and simply want to know the deal. While the film's official website, 1-18-08.com, was fascinating and peculiar at first, it's slowly become rather busy and uninteresting. Oh wow, another photo to toss around with your mouse for twenty minutes! What will they think of next? It's cool; feel free to call bullsh*t on me -- after all, I am single-handedly helping to push the marketing machine forward by continuing to write about the film and its online trickery. But that's my job. And if I didn't vent from time to time, then how the hell would I fill up an entire post?

By now I'm sure you've guessed that another photo has popped over at the Cloverfield site. This one is pretty difficult to make out, but it looks like people are running in the streets and some dude in a military outfit is there to make sure folks flee to the appropriate areas. I'm not sure who's actually taking these pictures, but hopefully they'll remember to use their flash for the next one. Like the other three photos on the site, you at home have the option to move it around the page and swap it out for one of the older images. I'm not sure what the whole "photo movement" has to do with anything, except that it gives people a reason to stay on the site longer and pretend to be figuring out a clue that no one else has solved yet. As I said before, the site is becoming rather busy with all these photos, and so I imagine they'll introduce a new gimmick soon (possibly at ComicCon or shortly thereafter). Other than that, we're told this will be some sort of monster movie (Muppets Take Manhattan 2?), and it shall arrive in theaters on January 18, 2008.

We're calling this one Pirates of the Caribbean: The Germans Are Coming! No, Tom Cruise is not replacing Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow; this is a pic of the actor -- as German officer Col. Claus von Stauffenberg -- from Bryan Singer's upcoming drama Valkyrie. RopesofSilicon bring us this first look, and they also have up a fairly interesting comparison shot of the real Stauffenberg and Cruise. To say these guys looked similar would be an understatement -- is there something about Tommy boy we don't know? In the film -- which is based on real-life events, Cruise plays a German officer who led the daring July 20 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler in 1944. This is a weird role for Cruise, and I'm curious to see if he throws on one of them English-German accents for the film. Also starring Patrick Wilson, Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh, Tom Wilkinson, Eddie Izzard and the very beautiful (as well as potential future Bond girl) Carice van Houten, Valkyrie is currently scoping out August 8, 2008 as a possible release date. So whaddya think -- would you bring this guy home to mom?

Just when you thought summer was beginning to wind down, remember that there's still at least one more big-budgeted action-packed threequel gearing up to invade theaters in a couple weeks. The Bourne Ultimatum arrives on August 3, and Cinema Blend has a pretty nifty gallery of stills for you to sift through. Check out Matt Damon as he reads a book, uses a laptop, rides a motorcycle, inspects a slide thingy and, of course, runs ... fast. Fellow cast members Julia Stiles, David Strathairn, Paddy Considine and Joan Allen also show up in a few shots, as the search for Jason Bourne intensifies when the man decides to return home and wag his presence in the face of those seeking him out.

Recently, Damon has gone on record saying that this will mark the last time he reprises his role as Jason Bourne, leading lots to assume that this franchise will stop at three films. Of course there's always a chance someone will change their mind and greenlight a fourth adventure, although they'll have to find someone alluring enough to fill Damon's shoes. Those interested in learning more about the film are more than welcome to check out some additional trailers and posters -- other than that, there's not much I can do for you. Will director Paul Greengrass produce a film that's on par (or even better) than the previous installment? Will Julia Stiles find a way to keep us awake this time while she delivers her lines? Will Jason Bourne finally learn his real identity -- that he's not actually an ex-CIA operative, but an ex-Burger King employee who watched way too many action films growing up? So many questions left unanswered; how will they wrap it up?

A bunch of movie photos have recently hit the net, and thankfully none of them feature Woody Allen in a speedo. Check it out ...

• JustJared has our first look at Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitaker and Prison Break's Amaury Nolasco on the set of The Night Watchman. There's a gallery of about 20 or so shots; all of which feature the men attending the funeral of a fallen officer. In the film (written and directed by David Ayer), Reeves plays a veteran cop (and recent widower) who's implicated in the execution of a fellow officer. He then must go up against the system he's called home for so many years in an attempt to clear his name. The scene in question must be the funeral of said officer, which (contrary to what I originally thought) will not be played by Nolasco.
• The Dark Knight is still shooting in Chicago, and Superhero Hype has obtained a group of photos which show Gary Oldman as Lt. Jim Gordon. Director Christopher Nolan can also be seen, as well as shots of a few Gotham police vehicles and a man dressed up in a SWAT uniform. I'm not sure if this scene has to do with the aforementioned bank heist, but, if so, it looks like it's going to be one heckuva robbery.
• A third photo has been released to the mysterious Cloverfield website, 1-18-08.com. This one is a bit fuzzy, and is timestamped 12:48a. In it, a few people walk through what looks like a cloud of smoke while holding their noses. If they didn't specifically tell us the time, I'd say J.J. Abrams was producing a 9/11-related film. You can also toss the photos around the page with your mouse -- not sure what that's about, but have fun.
• Finally, Woody Allen is spending his summer in Barcelona with his muse Scarlett Johansson. A few photos have arrived that show Woody, Johansson and a bunch of crew members hanging around the set of Midnight in Barcelona. From what we've heard, the film is a comedy (set in Barcelona) that revolves around a love triangle of sorts. Knowing Woody, he's writing the script as he shoots. The film also stars Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Patricia Clarkson.

Focus Features/Rogue Pictures has just sent Cinematical two images from Neil Marshall's Doomsday; an upcoming action-thriller from the guy who brought us the well-received horror flick The Descent. Although I never saw The Descent, our own Kim Voynar loved the film when it was released last summer and Stephen King even placed it on his top ten list of 2006. Thus, I imagine lots of folks are eagerly anticipating Marshall's follow-up film, which looks to mix a little bit of 28 Days Later with Children of Men. And that can't be bad, right?

Here's the plot synopsis we were provided with: "In the action-packed new thriller from writer/director Neil Marshall ("The Descent"), authorities brutally quarantine a country as it succumbs to fear and chaos when a virus strikes. The literal walling-off works for three decades – until the dreaded Reaper virus violently resurfaces in a major city. An elite group of specialists, captained by Eden Sinclair (Rhona Mitra), is urgently dispatched into the still-quarantined country to retrieve a cure by any means necessary. Shut off from the rest of the world, the unit must battle through a landscape that has become a waking nightmare." Aside from Mitra, pic also stars Malcolm McDowell, Bob Hoskins, Nora-Jane Noone and Alexander Siddig. I've also included a pic of Marshall on set after the jump. Currently, there's no official release date, but look for Doomsday to attack theaters early next year.

We've already been treated to some tasty Lindsay Lohan video from her upcoming horror film I Know Who Killed Me, and now IGN has officially turned up the heat -- providing a few more photos for all you horny boys to feast upon. In the flick, Lohan plays a stripper (but not the kind who really takes her clothes off, unfortunately), and based on these newly-released pole dancing shots, she certainly looks the part. I imagine only the Joker wears more red lipstick than this chick. Along with these two stripper pics, IGN also has a bunch more which show Lohan hiding from a potential attacker, as well as flaunting a nifty red coat. Half of them evoke a sexy, creepy vibe, while the others could easily be included in a Macy's Fall Attire catalog.

Due to hit theaters July 27, I Know Who Killed Me follows the story of a girl who's abducted and tortured by a serial killer. (Yup, we're covering lots of new ground with this one, folks.) Except, when she finally manages to escape, she claims to be someone else and says that the girl everyone has been looking for is still in danger. So far, all we've gotten as far as marketing goes are a poster, a weird video blog (hosted by the fictional abductor) and a trailer (that I completely missed before spotting it on Moviefone while writing this post). I'm not sure whether Lohan will be doing press for the film or if it will conflict with her rehab time, but let's hope I Know Who Killed Me provides a different, more psychological spin on the crop of female torture flicks currently invading our local theaters.

With shooting currently underway in New Haven, Connecticut, it didn't take long at all for someone to snag the first pic of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and his son (Shia LaBeouf). The duo appear to be riding a motorcycle, with LaBeouf driving (looking either embarrassed or about to sneeze) and Pops Jones firmly seated in the rear. Why should he be embarrassed? Well, his old man looks, well, old -- not to mention he's also in a suit and tie. As recent rumors suggested, LaBeouf does appear to be a greaser; his digs come complete with leather jacket, boots, blue jeans and a funky haircut.

Unlike the recently-released photo of Ford as Indiana Jones (and not Dr. Jones), this one is a tad less flattering. In it, the guy simply looks his age -- and, based on the pose LaBeouf is in, it's possible those were Steven Spielberg's intentions. I imagine the gimmick here is that Labeouf's character meets his Pops while he's in geeky professor mode and not in kickass, fedora hat-wearing mode. It makes sense, seeing as a majority of the scenes currently being shot take place on Yale's Old Campus. Also interesting is that these scenes are, according to some, supposedly the first scenes of the film. If that's the case, it means LaBeouf's character is introduced right away. So why is Indy's son at Yale (or whatever university it is that Dr. Jones teaches at)? Is he there looking for his father? Does his mother (Karen Allen???) bring him there? I guess we'll have to wait some time to find out; in the meantime, check out the pic (click on it for a larger version) and let us know what you think. Indiana Jones 4 arrives in theaters on May 22, 2008.

A new batch of photos from the upcoming comedy I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry have just hit the net, and one of them features Jessica Biel sporting a Catwoman costume that's pretty darn sexy. No, she's not auditioning for the sequel to Halle Berry's 2004 masterpiece (or is she???); instead, it looks as if she's partying it up at some sort of costume bash. I'm not exactly sure what kind of bash this is, as behind her it appears as if two men -- naked from the waist down -- are chatting it up in a pair of fold-out chairs. What's up with that Universal?

In the film (which hits theaters on July 20), Adam Sandler and Kevin James play single firefighters who pretend to be a gay couple in order to receive domestic partner benefits. Problems arise when Sandler's character falls for the couple's lawyer (Biel) who believes the two are gay. It's a fairly comical premise, although I feel like comedies, in general, are relying way too heavily on gay jokes these days in order to get a few cheap laughs. Next thing you know, we'll have an entire film that revolves around "Your Mother" quips, and then we will have officially gone back to using seventh grade humor to reel in the box office dollars. Then again, should we expect anything less from Adam Sandler?

Well, they did exactly what we imagined they would do -- IndianaJones.com is hosting the first official pic of Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones for the first time (on the big screen) since 1989, and the photo was snapped by none other than director Steven Spielberg. Not some secret studio spy or a scooper laying low in a garbage can across the street; nope, this one comes straight from the top. He's still wearing the same old bloodied-up duds, sports the oh-so-familiar fedora hat and pimps a five o'clock shadow like it's nobody's business. And dare I say it -- but the guy looks pretty damn good for his old age. From the looks of it, they're already filming some fairly action-packed scenes -- I can't imagine that blood on his knee and face was there when he woke up this morning. And as Ford stares out into the distance, I wonder if he's at all thinking about how long it's been since he last played this character -- a whopping 18 14 years. God bless the man. Starring Ford, Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett, Jim Broadbent, John Hurt, Ray Winstone and mayyybe Karen Allen, Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods (working title) arrives in theaters on May 22, 2008.

Shooting is officially underway on Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods (working title), and surprisingly no photos have leaked online yet. Of course, as I type this, I'm sure someone is uploading an image of something related to the next Indiana Jones adventure. A pair of socks, perhaps? To kick things off, however, the powers that be have decided to follow in the footsteps of Speed Racer and throw up a little promotional video interview with Shia LaBeouf so that he can talk about how much he loved watching the Indy films as a kid, and about how strong Harrison Ford's handshake is. I'm not sure what it is about this kid, but one minute in and you feel like you've known him forever. He's extremely personable, very down to earth, and almost has an orgasm talking about the first time he watched Ford walk out of his trailer with the fedora on. Buddy, I'd probably feel the same way.

Apart from the video, IGN tells us that word has it the film will "begin with a bang," literally. Apparently, the opening scene will involve some sort of nuclear detonation - which would follow along the lines of those reports that indicate director Steven Spielberg and his gang are recreating Nellis Air Force Base in Deming, New Mexico (a site that tested nuclear weapons in the late 50s, which is right around the time when this fourth installment takes place). Expect a lot more reports from the set of Indy 4 as production heads to New Haven, Connecticut on June 28. Since it's pretty much a given that every movie news site on the planet will be sending someone to New Haven, I'll be curious to see if the studio releases their own pics ahead of time in an attempt to beat the inevitable spy photos that are sure to make their way online during the shoot. Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods is scheduled to swing into theaters on May 22, 2008.

Apparently, someone is having a blast with their cell phone camera on the set of The Dark Knight, which is currently shooting in Chicago. Tipster Paul pointed us towards a site that is currently hosting what appear to be the first photos of Batman on set. Based on both pics, I'm going to be careful about announcing to the world that Christian Bale is inside that bat suit -- since we never actually see his face, there's a chance it's a stuntman. Regardless, does the dude look jacked or what? We got our first chance to see Bale in full costume the other day when folks scanned a full page photo of the new and improved Batman from out of EW magazine. However, the pics today are the first to show the man in action.

Based on what we see, it looks like Batman is hanging around in some alley waiting to jump off a set of wooden stairs. There's one shot of him from the front (featured right), as well as one from behind and off to the side. Artistically, I really dig the second shot (it would be better if that shampoo-like bottle wasn't in frame), but when it comes to spy photos I'm not so sure we're looking for fancy angles. This new set of photos join a host of other pics that have shown up online in recent days while the much-anticipated sequel shoots in Chicago. We've already received what appears to be a first look at the Joker's purple clown car, as well as shots of both Maggie Gyllenhaal (as Rachel Dawes) and Aaron Eckhart (as Harvey Dent). With spies situated all over this set, it's only a matter of time before a crystal clear pic of Heath Ledger as the Joker makes its way onto computer screens across the world. Stay tuned folks, there's a lot more coming down the pipeline ...
