For those missed it, 1985's Real Genius was one the decade's better comedies, bolstered by a performance from Val Kilmer, who was making only his second big screen performance after 1984's Top Secret! The movie was directed by Martha Coolidge, who directed another 80s favorite with 1983's Valley Girl and went on to direct TV shows like Sex & The City and Weeds.
But what if Real Genius had been made by The Sixth Sense director M. Night Shyamalan? That's exactly what a recent fan-made trailer proposes, turning the comedy about genius college students at a technical university and creating a moodier trailer befitting of a Shyamalan thriller.

Francis Ford Coppola's latest takes him back to the horror genre that launched his career. Twixt is set to debut at the Toronto Film Festival in September, and Coppola and American Zoetrope have released an extended teaser trailer for the movie.
Twixt is an Edgar Allan Poe–inspired independent horror movie that stars Val Kilmer as a struggling horror writer who stumbles upon strange happenings in a small California town. Coppola revealed some footage from the movie at the last month's Comic-Con, some of which was in 3-D so the audience was supplied with Edgar Allan Poe paper masks with 3-D glasses built in. Coppola revealed to Hall H (via Wired) that he isn't a fan of watching an entire 3-D movie.

Since MacGruber premiered at the South By Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, any speculation that it might actually be an elaborate hoax and not a real movie has been laid to rest. Now, Relativity Media has released a new theatrical poster for the movie. Unfortunately, even though it's billed as "...the best action-comedy since Beverly Hills Cop," the poster is actually a pretty boring, action movie-style poster that barely hints at the movie being a comedy (we're only giving comedic points to Will Forte's mullet and Kristen Wiig's "sexy" mom jeans).

Just days after releasing a red band trailer for the upcoming comedy MacGruber, Relativity Media has a green band version that edits some of the naughtiness out of the first trailer.
Based on a recurring sketch from Saturday Night Live, MacGruber is an action-comedy parody of the TV show MacGyver. The movie stars Will Forte, Val Kilmer, Ryan Phillippe, Kristen Wiig, and Maya Rudolph. When it comes to SNL sketches-turned-movies, we're hoping MacGruber is more Wayne's World than It's Pat.

In Hollywood, there are only so many really good roles for tubby male dreamboats of a certain age, and Alec Baldwin seems to be scarfing up half of them. So what's, say, Val Kilmer to do? The former Caped Crusader is thinking about ruling New Mexico, if that's what the people want. "I'm just looking for ways to be contributive," Kilmer tells the AP. "And if that ends up being where I can make a substantial contribution, then I'll run." Honestly, Val, starring as the uncredited voice of the car in Knight Rider is more than most people contribute to the good of society –- but if you decide to take on the additional challenge of governing a state, we wish you the best of luck!
