Focus Features will be releasing Anna Karenina, directed by Joe Wright (Hanna, Atonement, Pride & Prejudice) and based on the classic Leo Tolstoy novel, on November 9, 2012 – in the heart of the “Oscar consideration” season. Starring Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, and Matthew Macfadyen, Anna Karenina was adapted for the screen by Shakespeare in Love‘s Tom Stoppard.
The Plot:
The story unfolds in its original late-19th-century Russia high-society setting and powerfully explores the capacity for love that surges through the human heart, from the passion between adulterers to the bond between a mother and her children. As Anna (Knightley) questions her happiness, change comes to her family, friends, and community.
As we edge closer to the kick off of the 2012-2013 television season, CBS has unleashed posters for four of their brand new series. Partners arrives on September 24th at 8:30pm, Vegas will premiere on September 25th at 10pm, and Elementary will debut September 27th at 10pm. And Made in Jersey is set to begin its first season on September 28th at 9pm.
The video for “Runaways,” the first single off of The Killers’ fourth album, Battle Born, debuted on July 26, 2012 and has racked up nearly 900,000 views as of July 29th. The music video, which doesn’t overpower the song, features lead singer Brandon Flowers in a muted spotlight, a headlight-lit highway, and the Las Vegas skyline.
Battle Born is set to drop on September 18, 2012. “Runaways” debuted at #22 on Billboard’s Rock Chart before moving up to #18 last week.

Yes, it’s true – there will be a The Hangover Part 3. Legendary Entertainment has just posted this teaser on their Facebook page, promising the third Hangover will arrive in May 2013. This time around the Wolfpack (Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms) will be heading to Tijuana where we assume someone will have to be rescued (we hear it’s Galifianakis’ character needing to be broken out of a mental institution, but that’s not confirmed), a random animal will be involved in the gang’s hijinx, and Ken Jeong as Mr. Chow will steal the show.

Details on the Game (Courtesy of Activision):
Our story begins deep in murky, watery depths. You’re James Bond, and you’re drifting, unconscious. You don’t know why – only that you’re struggling for your life like never before. In moments of cognizance, you recall epic moments from the last 50 years. The harrowing chases. The uber-villains. The exotic locales. The women.
What will be your legend if this is the end?
In 007 Legends, you’ll take on the role of James Bond as played by Daniel Craig, running missions in the most iconic settings of 007’s five-decade film history. The places and times remain classified, even to you. But each retains the look and feel of the original movies, updated with reimagined characters, expanded gameplay and exciting new plotlines.
Which brings us back to your current predicament. The clock is ticking. Will this be yet another close brush with death, or has your remarkably good luck dried up at last?

Thomas Howell, currently on screen in The Amazing Spider-Man, will be guesting starring on the July 30, 2012 episode of Syfy’s Alphas. Howell will be playing Eli Aquino, “an intense Alpha with super-speed who is bent on revenge and is on a collision course with Dr. Lee Rosen (David Strathairn) and his team on their first official case since reassembling in the season opener.”
Alphas returned for season two on July 23rd, averaging 1.7 million total viewers and beating its season one numbers in key demographics by double digits. The series was created by Zak Penn and Michael Karnow and stars Strathairn, Malik Yoba, Warren Christie, Azita Ghanizada, Ryan Cartwright, Laura Mennell, and Erin Way.
The Plot:
Alphas follows a clandestine group of ordinary people with superhuman mental and physical abilities. Led by preeminent neurologist and psychiatrist Dr. Lee Rosen, the unlikely team takes on cases the CIA, FBI and Pentagon are unwilling or unable to solve going head-to-head with many of the criminal Alphas hiding among the normal population.
Season two will bring back a few members of the season one cast, however they’ll be playing different characters in a completely different setting. Returning American Horror Story players include Jessica Lange, Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, and Zachary Quinto. Newbies include James Cromwell, Joseph Fiennes, Chloe Sevigny, Lizzie Brochere, and Britney Oldford.
Filming has begun on the series, with FX aiming to premiere season two in October 2012.
Dewan’s film credits include Step Up, Take the Lead, American Virgin, and 10 Years. She also starred in the cancelled NBC series, The Playboy Club.
Two of Queen Elizabeth’s beloved Corgis made an appearance during the Opening Ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympics. Accompanied by the Queen, the Corgis greeted Daniel Craig as James Bond in an entertaining segment that found James Bond and the Queen (in a bit of movie trickery) boarding a helicopter and skydiving into the stadium for the Opening Ceremonies.
The segment proved A) the Queen has a sense of humor and B) Corgis can be counted on to steal the show.
Silent Hill the game is represented on the big screen once again with Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. This 3D horror film stars Adelaide Clemens, Martin Donovan, Deborah Kara Unger, Radha Mitchell, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Heather Marks, and was written and directed by Michael J Bassett who shot the film in 3D rather than doing a conversion after the fact.
And for all of us Game of Thrones fans, Silent Hill: Revelation 3D will give us a chance to see ‘Jon Snow’ (Kit Harington) and ‘Ned Stark’ (Sean Bean) together once again.
The Plot:
“Heather Mason and her father have been on the run, always one step ahead of dangerous forces that she doesn’t fully understand, Now on the eve of her 18th birthday, plagued by horrific nightmares and the disappearance of her father, Heather discovers she’s not who she thinks she is. The revelation leads her deeper into a demonic world that threatens to trap her forever.”
