Welcome to The Extras! A daily dose of all the smaller movie related news, clips and just plain cool stuff that you might have missed!

“What’s this? A children’s film? That’s your guilty pleasure?!” Well yes, all thanks to one boring afternoon, where varsity ended early, and the buses were on strike, did I venture to go watch the yellow sponge and pink pal. And it had to be one of the most trippiest, subtle bits of adult humour wrapped up in a sickeningly sweet …

Now that the Twilight series is coming to an end (I hope), Robert Pattinson is certainly going out of his way to distance himself from Stephanie Meyers romanticized take on vampires. And he couldn’t have found better material to do it with director David Cronenberg’s latest crazy project, Cosmopolis. We already brought the completely mental teaser previously, but now the …

Bah, who needs massive explosions, super-heroes and oily gigolos when a man dressed as a cranky old lady is right around the corner? Yep, it’s time for Tyler Perry to once again don the fat-suit as his latest Madea film, Witness protection, arrives in June, and what better way to get pumped than with a new trailer?

The highly unlikely choice of David Cronenberg joined Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and my personal pick, Alfonso Cuaron, on an apparent studio shortlist. Well it seems that that shortlist just …

If you had to describe Jason Statham in a single word, you would probably not settle on Safe. Although it would more than likely be a “safe” bet that while you were standing around pondering adjectives about the bald-headed cockney brawler, he would already have launched one of his limbs with violent and deadly force into at least one of your …

Forget about that other president, what with his emancipation powers and axe-fu, the real deal is apparently the first head of state himself, George Washington! Darren “Noah is actually a real life biopic of Russel Crowe” Aronofsky is currently shopping around a treatment for a George Washington film, only this one is going to be less “Steve Jobs cheesy inspiring”, …

I’ve fallen in love with the blu-ray medium as of late. I’m a sucker for extras, and high definition is a sharp treat for my eyes. Heck, I can’t even watch anything in standard definition anymore, without my eyeballs sealing themselves shut in protest. But not all my favourite films are available on Blu-Ray. And as an avid lover of …

Gerard Butler is clearly trying to win that coveted “Busiest Man in Hollywood” title. He’s already looking to go on a diamond heist in Brilliant, single-handedly protect the White House in Olympus Has Fallen, scavenge for post-apocalyptic treasure in Afterburn, get his surf on in Of Men and Mavericks and even seduce some soccer moms in Playing the Field.
