It was just a few weeks ago that Sam Mendes officially announced he wouldn't return to direct 'Bond 24' (what's more, he said the mere thought of returning to direct another James Bond film made him "physically ill") but producers aren't wasting any time finding a replacement.

Though we're now in the midst of 2013's summer season of movies, it's kind of surprising that 'Man of Steel' is only a month away. We're starting to see TV ads and the like pop up everywhere now, and to get us excited for its arrival there's now a new poster.
Though Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn will appear together in 'Anchorman 2,' and Ferrell has cameo'd in a number of Vince Vaughn's films (including possibly 'The Internship'), it's been a decade since the two co-starred in 2003's 'Old School.' But now they will get some face time together as both have agreed to star in the film 'Daddy's Home.'
Two new films will try to steal audience away from the 'Iron Man 3' juggernaut that just got the summer-movie season off to an explosive start. The first is an adaptation of one of the most popular novels of all time; the second is the latest Tyler Perry-produced comedy.
