For a total of 312 films from 64 different countries. Wow, I wish I could go. Of the remaining announcements in 3 different sections, the most intriguing would have to be Vincent Cassel playing legendary French gangster Jacques Mesrine in Public Enemy No. 1. It's listed as a "work-in-progress" so I guess that means what will be screened is not the final cut. Another I'm looking forward to is The Lucky Ones which stars one of my favorites, Tim Robbins. It's about some returning soldiers who go on a road trip across America. Check out the full list following.

Polls show that in certain demographics, more people identify the name Paris with "Hilton" than with "France." Gaining intimate access to the glamorous and chaotic day-to-day life of one of the world's biggest icons, director Adria Petty explores the businesswoman and the human

Laurence Fishburne has officially joined the cast of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” after the departure of Actor William Petersen last season. Petersen continues as an executive producer of the show. Fishburne will first appear in the ninth episode of the upcoming “CSI” season. Variety reports that he will star as a former pathologist turned college lecturer who focuses on why people turn violent, including traits he’s disturbed to find in himself. The character joins the Las Vegas Crime Lab as a Level 1 CSI after assisting in a murder investigation. “CSI” Executive Producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar said Fishburne topped their “dream list.” John Malkovich and Kurt Russell were also considered for the part. “He is a powerful and intense actor, with an [...]

I'm taking comfort in the fact that even though we're entering the darkest time for new releases since January, it's only going to last three weeks. Then, on September 12th, we'll get Burn After Reading from Joel and Ethan Coen. Does that movie officially kick off awards season? I guess so. The Duchess, Blindness, and Appaloosa follow the next week, and I'm certainly interested in each of those for different reasons.

But even though I know Burn After Reading isn't very far away, it still feels like I'm going to have to wait a lifetime. That's probably because in summer, there are so many things on the wish list, and you usually only have to wait 14 days at the max for something you really want to see. So that extra week is going to be murder...

Anyway, Trailer Addict has two new character featurettes: Meet Osborne (John Malkovich) and Meet

A few weeks back we shared two hilarious character teaser videos for The Coen Brother's Burn After Reading. One of them was for Chad, played by Brad Pitt, the other was for Harry, played by George Clooney. Today we've got two more: one for Osbourne, played by John Malkovich, the other for Linda, played by Frances McDormand. Seeing Malkovich yell is easily one of the funniest things to watch. I thought Brad Pitt was a hilarious addition to this film, but Malkovich looks fantastic and the two play off of each other so well. This looks like it may even be the funniest comedy of the year and another brilliant film from the Coen Brothers, which is amazing considering No Country for Old Men was just last year! How do they do it?! Either way, take a look at these two new hilarious Burn After Reading character teasers. Don't forget

The actor said in a statement: "I am elated and delighted to be joining the cast of CSI," adding his new work will be a "wonderful collaboration".

Show executive producers Carol Mendelsohn and Naren Shankar said in a joint statement: "Without hesitation, we said (to CBS bosses) Laurence Fishburne (should take the part). He is a powerful and intense actor, with an incredible range."

Petersen has been with the series since its 2000 debut and will remain an executive producer on the show.

Fishburne will be introduced in the show's forthcoming 10th season, set to debut in October.

What do you get when you take The Coen Brothers, Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, greedy but bumbling health club employees, the unpublished memoirs of a CIA agent, and blackmail? You get Burn After Reading, which looks like another potential classic from Joel and Ethan.

Before we saw anything from this film - posters, trailers, and clips - we heard Clooney talking it up as the conclusion to his "Idiot Trilogy" with the brothers, following O Brother Where Art Thou and Intolerable Cruelty. (Can't we just skip that second one?) And the more we've seen over the past few months, the more we truly understand what he means.

We've been tipped by a Big Picture reader to the existence of another new poster, again inspired by the legendary Saul Bass. The last time we published a poster for this flick, it was unapproved, so we had to remove it.

The Toronto International Film Festival has announced a whole load of films, including many world premiers, to be added as part of their lineups. Some of the more interesting looking ones are Lance Daly's Kisses about two Irish brothers who run away from home and deal with the dark underside of Dublin. Another film I'm definitely interested in is Scott McGehee and David Siegel's Uncertainty which stars one of my personal favorites, Joseph Gordon-Levitt. It's about a couple in love who find out she's pregnant and they flip a coin from where it apparently follows both possible storylines, but with the same disastrous consequences. Also screening will be Fabrice du Welz's Vinyan (trailer here) which is about a couple who lost their son in a Tsunami and won't give up looking for him. In the Discovery program, the stop-motion animation $9.99 which is about a man seeking the meaning to life.

The international poster you see below for the Coen Bros.' comedy Burn After Reading recently meandered onto the internets continuing with the Saul Bass theme of the domestic poster but sprinkled with a just a little more cool - as are most international posters. As you may recall, in the film, George Clooney and Brad Pitt play gym employees who find ex-cia agent John Malkovich's memoirs and decide to do a little hapless blackmailing. See the flick September 12th.

Four new tv spots recently surfaced on the interwebs for the Coen Bros.' dark comedy Burn After Reading, each focusing on one of the film's main characters. In it, Chad (Brad Pitt) and Harry (George Clooney), with a little half-witted help from Linda (Frances McDormand), find the memoirs of CIA agent Osbourne Cox (John Malkovich) at the gym where they work and decide to blackmail him in the most inept way possible. J.K. Simmons and Tilda Swinton co-star. This flick looks like a seriously good...

Ben Stiller is still haunted by the memory of upsetting Steven Spielberg as a young actor - when he called cut on a lengthy Empire Of The Sun scene after messing up his lines.

The funnyman wasn't laughing when mild-mannered Spielberg took him to task for making a directorial decision on the set - when he was nothing more than a young extra.

He recalls, "There was a long steady cam shot, where a young Christian Bale is coming into this American barracks.

"He walks through the whole barracks and gets to the end of the barracks and there's John Malkovich and Joe Pantoliano and me. It's a six-minute shot... and then I screwed up my line.

"I said, `Oh whoops, sorry. Maybe we should cut.' Steven Spielberg is in another building watching on the monitors and I just hear silence. Then I hear him: `What happened?'

"I'm like, `I just yelled cut because I screwed up,' and he's yelling, `No, no, you never cut!' I literally turned white and shrunk because my hero and idol, Steven Spielberg, is yelling at me.

"I learned you never yell cut as an actor. The director yells cut. For years I lived with this shame... but we've laughed about it since because he remembers it too. I was mortified."

Photo: Focus Features I actually added these five new images from Burn After Reading about four days ago but if you don't check out the Movie Stills Page on a regular basis you would have missed it (you really should bookmark that page). Anyway, when I received two new character videos for the new Coen brothers film I figured I may as well remind you about the images at the same time. You can check all five images out right here in the gallery, which now has 13 total pics or you can watch the videos and then click on the thumbnails at the bottom of this article. As for the videos, the two we have today focus on Brad Pitt's character Chad, the gym employee who stumbles upon the memoir of an ousted CIA official played by John Malkovich. The other video focuses on

Well, I'm about ready for Burn After Reading. The new Coen Brothers idiot comedy - their third such venture with George Clooney - will hit the Venice Film Festival before debuting here in the states, and every minute of footage I've seen in trailers and in these two new featurettes from Trailer Addict seem to confirm what I suspected: Joel and Ethan Coen are completely back on their game.

I worried about them in the early part of this decade, with movies like Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers masquerading as comedies, and by looking outside and adapting another writer's novel (they had previously only remade screenplays or done original scripts), they struck gold with No Country for Old Men.

That film, as brilliant as it is, doesn't have a lot in common with the dark comedies that by and large constitute the brothers' best work.

So this film, about a missing file,

In July we got a trailer for Mutant Chronicles that was in Russian and not the best quality. Now we have the same trailer but in English and it is in smooth Hi-Def. The Mutant Chronicles has an interesting cast including Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki, Sean Pertwee, Benno Fürmann, John Malkovich and Steve Toussaint. [...]

Five U.S. films are among the 21 that will compete for the prestigious Golden Lion award at the 65th annual Venice Film Festival, the Biennale, scheduled to run from Aug. 27 to Sept. 6. At a news conference, festival organizers announced that among the films participating in the competition will be Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke, Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood; Guillermo Arriaga's The Burning Plain, starring Kim Basinger and Charlize Theron; Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker, starring Ralph Fiennes; Jonathan Demme's Rachel Getting Married, starring Anne Hathaway and Rosemarie DeWitt; and Amir Naderi's Vegas: Based on a True Story. (Little could be learned about the latter film, whose title is almost identical to Brett Ratner's Breaking Vegas: Based on a True Story, which was released earlier this year. A news story earlier this year said that Naderi was working on a film titled Digging in Vegas.) In addition, four films from Italy and four from Japan will participate in the competition. The Japanese films include Takeshi Kitano's Achilles and the Tortoise and Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, from famed Japanese (hand) animator Hayao Miyazaki, about a fish who falls in love with a boy and uses magic to become human. Mamoru Oshii's The Sky Crawlers, another Japanese film entered in the competition, is also animated. The festival's opening film is the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and John Malkovich.

Katie Couric is keeping her anchor chair at the "CBS Evening News" - at least for now.

"We have no plans to part company any time soon," Couric told TV critics in La yesterday via satellite.

"There were a lot of speculative pieces that I think got spun out of control - and clearly when you work for an organization, you have ongoing discussions," she said.

"But I am very committed to the people here and very committed to the product."

Rumors about Couric's imminent departure have been flying for months as her third-place newscast continues to struggle for viewers.

I was not expecting greatness when I read the description for The Mutant Chronicles, a sci-fi movie in which Ron Perlman, Thomas Jane, and John Malkovich fight NecroMutants. I mean, it could be a silly enough experience that some laughs could come from it, but I hope nobody was really taking it seriously.

Then we saw some posters, which I think are meant to be serious, and some more concern crept in. "They do realize these guys are hunting NecroMutants, right?" was the question I asked myself.

And today, I saw a trailer for The Mutant Chronicles, and while the second half looks pretty standard, I have to see the first 30 seconds of this minute-long teaser is pretty compelling, and throughout the clip, I really like the dreary look of the future world director Simon Hunter has created.

We still don't have a U.S. release date for Chronicles as far as I know,
