A bigger story though might be regarding a film that most have never heard of as the studio is also set to distribute Transcendence from Dark Knight cinematographer Wally Pfister. The sci-fi project stars Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman and was originally set for an April 25 bow–giving it only one week to play with before Amazing Spider-Man 2 comes out. Now, it is will roll out a week earlier on April 18, two weeks after Disney’s release of Captain America: The Winter Soldier. It has been talked about for a while now, but it would appear the summer box office season starts well before May next year as even March has some stacked releases.
The first trailer has hit the web of the sci-fi flick that has a post-apocalyptic Earth being taken care of by a robot technician who is one of the last remaining humans on the planet. The Tom Cruise-played Jack Harper eventually winds up being court-martialed (probably for trumped up reasons) and sentenced to a distant planet where he is to destroy what is last of an alien race. While there, he comes upon an unexpected traveler that causes him to question everything. Continue Reading

Remember Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore’s reunion film that broke earlier this spring? Well, today there is an update on the project as a release date has been set by Warner Bros. The Frank Coraci-directed comedy starring the two and, as most-recently announced, Joel McHale will be hitting theaters on Memorial Day Weekend of next year, May 23 to be exact. The project will leave an alternative to Fox’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes on a weekend that is expected to now be big enough to support two blockbusters.
Morgan Freeman was on The Tonight Show last night. The legendary actor is in two new films this spring including this week’s Olympus Has Fallen and next month’s Oblivion which is a bit higher profile. Nonetheless, the actor is out promoting his Gerard Butler-starrer from Training Day director Antoine Fuqua. Reviews are not out for this release just yet, but it is expected the film will net $20 million in its opening weekend. 
In case you were not already pumped about the next big Tom Cruise actioner, there is a brand new poster out for Universal’s Oblivion that features both the leading man and supporting star Morgan Freeman. This really is one of the cooler posters we have seen in a while which hints at what we might expect from this sci-fi epic from the director of Tron: Legacy, Joseph Kosinski.

Tom Cruise is perhaps just as busy as the Channing Tatums of the world nowadays following the huge success of Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, but nothing as of yet has sparked audience interest like his latest run as Ethan Hunt. That all might change when Joseph Kosinski’s Tron follow-up Oblivion hits theaters in April because we are completely blown away by what has been packaged together on a sub-$200 million budget for a month typically known for its ‘calm before the summer storm.’
Morgan Freeman got a lot of love this morning when he took to The Today Show’s outdoor set in order to promote The Dark Knight Rises. The actor only got about two minutes to sell his movie, so he dished on ‘the bat’ before talking about Nelsen Mandella whom he played in the 2009 film Invictus. During the interview, Freeman also confirms that this is the end of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, but also said that he gets the sense Warner Bros. could be setting up a Robin movie. 
There is yet another Dark Knight Rises clip circulating the net today. This one comes courtesy of 
If you are one of those people who cannot wait for The Dark Knight Rises to hit theaters later this month, the following featurette is a must-see. It has the movie’s incredible cast and crew discussing the film’s backdrop and characters. Pretty much it serves as a video version of those 50 pages of production notes the internet has been talking about this week.
Various news outlets are reporting today that the Jon Turteltaub Vegas-style bachelor party flick has found yet another recognizable face to add to its core four. Morgan Freeman has been cast alongside Robert De Niro and Michael Douglas. 
The first trailer is out for Morgan Freeman’s next film, The Magic of Belle Island. The movie centers on an author (Freeman) who ventures to rural society in order to tap into his original talent. Upon his arrival, he befriends a woman and her three kids.
