If It's Movies - The best in movie news and previews.

The viral campaign for The Dark Knight Rises kicked off yesterday after the official website for the film went live. Just like The Dark Knight, this film will engage fans in what should turn out to be a wild game of deciphering clues and finding “hidden treasures” that will unlock and reveal items from the upcoming film. If you visit TheDarkKnightRises.com, you are greeted by a strange audio clip of some chanting. There is also another portion of the site that updates whenever someone tweeted the hashtag #thefirerises, which led to the revealing of Tom Hardy as Bane.

But before the official image was revealed, users went through the website’s code and discovered a link to the actual image of Bane, which we have for you after the jump.

DreamWorks has released the first trailer for the upcoming remake of the horror flick Fright night starring Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell. As far as first impressions go, I think the trailer looks pretty good. Sure, it’s definitely different from the original, but I feel that gives this film a bit more credit for not being a complete rip-off.

The film follows Charley Brewster (Yelchin) who guesses that his new neighbor Jerry Dandrige (Farrell) is a vampire responsible for a string of recent deaths. When no one he knows believes him, he enlists Peter Vincent (David Tennant), the opportunistic host of his favorite TV show, to help him take down Jerry and his guardian. Hit the jump to see the trailer and poster for Fright Night.

Two weeks ago Steven Soderbergh announced that he would fit another film into his busy schedule before retiring from filmmaking. And what film is it that will keep Mr. Soderbergh from retiring? A film about male strippers, that’s what! The story is based on the real-life experiences of Channing Tatum, who was once a male stripper, and will center around the friendship set in the world of male strippers.

Deadline has announced that Alex Pettyfer will join the cast as a “young Tatum” while the real Tatum will play his mentor. The film is being described as “sexy, funny and shocking” with Saturday Night Fever being used as a model. Pettyfer is relatively new on the scene and recently starred in I Am Number Four and Beastly.

Diane Keaton and Robert De Niro have signed on to star in the romantic comedy Gently Down the Stream coming from director Justin Zackman. The story follows a divorced couple (Keaton and De Niro) as they pretend to still be in love and happily married to keep their son happy on his wedding day.

Sure, nothing too original here but seeing Keaton and De Niro together again could be somewhat enjoyable. We’ve seen a decent amount of De Niro’s comedic chops over the last decade as he’s co-starred in the Meet the Parents series. Keaton has also starred in many comedies, too many to name. According to Variety, director Zuckerman says we should expect to see the same kind of stuff from his previous film The Bucket List, but this time with “a little bit more sex and bad behavior.”

The very first shot of Bruce Willis from the upcoming sci-fi thriller Looper starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and coming from director Rian Johnson. The film takes place in the future when time-travel is possible but highly illegal. Gordon-Levitt plays a hitman who kills hooded and bound victims that are sent back in time from 30 years in the future. Basically he kills anyone and everyone that comes to him with no hesitation, until one day he is sent a man that is not hooded or bound and turns out to be him from the future.

That’s where Willis steps in. Willis plays an older version of the Gordon-Levitt character who will not bow down to his younger self. Hit the jump to see the first photo, courtesy of Empire.

Can Mark Wahlberg and David O. Russell bring back the same magic they brought us with The Fighter? We sure hope so considering the actor and director gave us a film that was very popular this past awards season. Russell has had a huge number of potential projects brought to him in the months following the Academy Awards, and now he looks to have finally decided on what he will tackle next.

Vulture says The Silver Linings Playbook will be the director’s next project and will have Wahlberg as the lead character who is described as “a delusional former high school history teacher who’s just been released into the custody of his mom. Believing that he’s only been away for a few months instead of the four years he just spent in a mental institution, the teacher sets about wooing back his ex-wife.”

Deadline also say Chris Diamantopoulos has officially signed on for the role of Moe. We had heard a few weeks ago that the actor was considering taking up the role, but that was the extent of that until now. Hit the jump to see who else is in The Three Stooges and what the story is all about.

A little while ago we released a very basic version of this logo. Now Disney/Pixar have updated it, added some color, and made it look a whole lot more “official.” While it’s nothing out of the ordinary, I like the logo’s simplicity. We’ve got the same “Monsters” we have from the first film, and the studios just added a college flair to it with “University.” Nice.

We also have an official plot synopsis for Monsters University, which is something we didn’t have before. We knew the film was going to be a prequel that brought the two lead characters back to when they were in college learning how to be a professional scarer. Hit the jump to read the official plot synopsis.

We’ve got some more photos from the set of Men In Black III for you today. We get to see Will Smith, a horse painted like a zebra, Andy Warhol, and a crowd in some very interesting attire. We told you a few days ago that Bill Hader was going to make a cameo as Warhol, and here he is! I swear, if I didn’t already know that was Hader, I would have thought it was Crispin Glover.

These photos all come from The New York Post are from a “Warhol party” that, I’m assuming, Agent K and J attend looking for aliens and answers, probably in that order. Hit the jump to see the new set photos.
