MGM has released the first trailer for the upcoming R-rated sci-fi comedy Hot Tub Time Machine from director, Steve Pink. Head on over the jump to watch the trailer.
Synopsis
Hot Tub Time Machine follows a group of best friends who’ve become bored with their adult lives: Adam (John Cusack) has been dumped by his girlfriend; Lou (Rob Corddry) is a party guy who can’t find the party; Nick’s (Craig Robinson) wife controls his every move; and video game-obsessed Jacob (Clark Duke) won’t leave his basement. After a crazy night of drinking in a ski resort hot tub, the men wake up, heads’ pounding, in the year 1986. This is their chance to kick some past and change their futures – one will find a new love life, one will learn to stand up for himself with the ladies, one will find his mojo, and one will make sure he still exists!
Hot Tub Time Machine is scheduled to hit theaters on March 19, 2010. Continue reading Hot Tub Time Machine Movie Trailer

Peter Jackson has revealed that casting for the two Hobbit films started this week. Jackson, who will produce the two films and is writing with screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens and director Guillermo del Toro also discussed some details on its status:
“We’re still working on the script, and of course it’s going to be directed by Guillermo [del Toro],” Jackson said. “That’s going really well, and in fact we’ve already delivered the first script to the studio, and they really liked it, so now we’re working hard on the second script, and that’s going to keep us pretty busy until the end of this year.”
“There’s no budget yet, and no cast, but we plan to start shooting next year, with the first one coming out by the end of 2011, hopefully,” Jackson said. “And while Guillermo’s making The Hobbit, I’m not quite sure what I’ll be working on, as I want to make completely sure that I’m doing what I need to do for The Hobbit, and that I’ll be there to help Guillermo.”
