The first trailer for writer-director Todd Lincoln's new supernatural horror movie, The Apparition, has been released online and it immediately reminded us of the anonymous quote that opens W.W. Jacobs's classic horror story The Monkey's Paw — "Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it." Though ostensibly a "haunted house" movie, wherein a young couple (Ashley Greene and Sebastian Stan) find their new home plagued by an evil presence and turn to an expert in the supernatural (Tom Felton) for aid, the new wrinkle to that old genre standby is that the "horrifying apparition" that plagues the couple was conjured into being by parapsychology students intent on proving that belief in the supernatural alone is enough for it to exist.

The full-length theatrical trailer for director Rupert Wyatt's (The Escapist) new movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, debuted in theaters last Friday attached to X-Men: First Class and quickly made its way online. Now, MTV has posted online the first TV spot for the movie, which aired during the 2011 MTV Movie Awards. The TV spot is basically a condensed version of the theatrical trailer, but it does contain a few snippets of previously unseen footage of the first intelligent ape, chimpanzee Caesar (Andy Serkis of The Lord of the Rings trilogy providing the motion-capture acting), as well as a first look at Draco Malfoy Tom Felton's character.

Warner Bros. has just released a character poster for Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and this one features Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy. The young Death Eater is looking sharp in a black on black suit and tie combo, a look he apparently copied from the Dark Lord, himself. Apparently all the best haberdashers have their shops on Knockturn Alley. He's showing none of the battle wear that Harry, Hermione, Ron, or Neville show in their character posters. He also doesn't seem show any remorse for the destruction of Hogwarts. He's a hard-hearted one, that Draco.
Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) got his own character poster last week, as well as an interview in Empire. In the interview, Lewis discusses the changes that Neville goes through going from a timid bystander, to a strong leader. By the end of the book it's clear to everyone how Neville Longbottom got sorted into Gryffindor, and, according to Lewis, the movie goes more in depth into Neville's story.

With only 50 days left until the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Empire has devoted a big chunk of its new issue to all things Harry Potter. The magazine features an interview with one member of the core trio, Rupert Grint, who plays Ron Weasely. He has apparently become quite attached to his character over the years.
It's all kind of embedded in me; we've almost become the same person over the years, sort of merged into this Ron-pert. Even now.
Grint also commented on the battle scenes, and from his description they sound to be just as epic as they were in the book.

The MTV Movie Award nomination were announced yesterday, and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse garnered the most nods. Eclipse received eight nominations within twelve categories, including being nominated twice for the categories of Best Male Performance (for Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner, of course) and Best Kiss (for Kristen Stewart's smooches with the aforementioned Best Male Performance nominees).
Inception received a total of seven nominations, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 following right behind with six. Inception was the only one of the top three nominated movies to get noticed for the unconventional categories of Best Jaw-Dropping Moment, Biggest Badass Star, and Best Scared-As-Sh-- Performance. Deathly Hallows was the only one of the three to be singled out for Best Villain, but surprisingly, not for Ralph Fiennes' Lord Voldemort, but instead for Draco Malfoy played by Tom Felton.

THR reports that 20th Century Fox has moved its Planet of the Apes prequel, Caesar: Rise of the Apes, from its June 24 release date to a more Thanksgiving-friendly date of November 23. The move was precipitated by Oren Aviv's move from head of production at Disney to a co-president of domestic theatrical marketing and chief marketing officer at Fox, which interrupts the usual red flag that a scheduling change often signals.
Rise of the Apes stars James Franco, fresh off his lauded performance in 127 Hours, in a movie described in the official synopsis as "a reality-based cautionary tale" that takes place in the present day and follows the origin of genetic engineering that eventually raises the intelligence of apes. Rupert Wyatt (The Escapist) directed from a script by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver (Eye for an Eye) that cast member Tom Felton told the LA Times was "brilliant."

Apparently, Warner Bros. (WB) is trying to cover all of their bases in promoting the first of the two-part final chapter in the Harry Potter movie saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, by putting out three separate series of teaser posters aimed at fans with different sensibilities. For the drama fans out there, WB released a series of high-contrast close-up shots of the main characters looking all brooding and serious. For the action fans, there is a series of posters featuring the characters preparing for combat against the dark forces that threaten them. And, there's also a series of posters for fans of thrillers who prefer their Potter characters spiced up with a little intrigue and sex appeal. The two latest releases are from the "drama" and "action" poster sets and feature two of the fiendish villains in the Potter-verse, Bellatrix Lestrange ( Helena Bonham Carter) and, in his Deathly Hallows poster debut, Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton).

Warner Bros. teased a panel for the upcoming two-part finale Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows declaring it would be "a program created just for Comic-Con fans ... don't miss it!" Those that attended, according to the LA Times, ended up a little disappointed when the panel revealed mostly old footage and Tom Felton as the lone representative of the cast.
The problem wasn't with Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the movies and was making his Comic-Con debut. Felton received "thunderous applause" when he walked onstage after the panel opened with a trailer from the upcoming two-part finale. However, he was interviewed for only about 10 minutes ... and that was that. No additional stars or footage. The audience reportedly "appeared to collectively deflate."
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part One opens November 19, while Part Two opens next July.

Principal photography on Fox's Planet of the Apes prequel, newly retitled Caesar: Rise of the Apes, is already in progress, yet a second late addition to the cast has just been announced. It was recently revealed that Brian Cox had joined the production as a less-than-scrupulous owner of a primate sancturary, and now ComingSoon has reported that Tom Felton—most popularly known as the dastardly tow-headed Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter series—has also been added to the cast as the son of Cox's character.
