A new trailer for the Seth Rogen-James Franco comedy The Interview dropped. This film seems to be tapping into political business at just the right time, as the film depicts Rogen and Franco traveling to North Korea to assassinate Kim Jong Un for the government.

Bryan Singer has officially been announced as the director of the upcoming 2016 X Men: Age of Apocalypse.

Seth MacFarlane announced that Liam Neeson will be appearing in Ted 2, to come out in 2015. This is MacFarlane and Neeson’s second collaboration after this summer’s A Million Ways to Die in the West.
