Will Transformers 2 Be The Perfect Movie?
Here's our first look at Alice, the co-ed with a secret, in Transformers 2. After a whole summer of wannabe Michael Bay films, we're finally going to get the work of Bay himself. It'll be ludicrous, fiery, splodey, car-crazy and slapsticky. In short, the perfect film. Spoilers and pics below.

Knowing review
Sometimes Knowing Isn't Enough
Is life totally random and meaningless? Or is there some predestination, and thus purpose, behind everything? Knowing, opening today, ponders this question and splits the difference: everything is predestined, but it's still all meaningless.

Why Does Every Apocalypse Need a Scary Globe Poster?
Here's the teaser poster for Knowing, the "numbers are bad" apocalypse movie starring Nicolas Cage, and it looks strangely familiar . . . Could it be the "menacing globe" that almost every genre film has pasted onto their posters as well? Methinks yes. The wide shot globe poster has been done from E.T. to The Core. If you don't believe me, check out the gallery of globe shame below.

Forget Post-Apocalyptic, Today's Weirdest Stories Are All About Pre-Apocalypses
So CERN switched on the Large Hadron Collider, and the end of the world has begun. But there may still be time to panic — and some hot new pre-apocalyptic spectacles are happy to help. It turns out post-apocalyptic movies and shows are passé, and what we really want is to see people living in the run-up to an imminent global catastrophe. Why would we be excited by the eve of destruction? More »

Nicholas Cage Sees Your Fate — Thanks To Science!
In Knowing, Nicholas Cage digs up a 1950s time capsule that includes a set of numbers predicting every future disaster — including the end of the world. Is it spiritual? Psychic? No, it's real science, claims director Alex Proyas. The movie's numerical version of clairvoyance is "rooted in a science that we believe holds water," he insists. [MTV Movies]

A New Secret Of Captain Kirk's Origins?
The most spoilery spoilers this morning have to do with the past, not the future — like, we've learned a secret about Captain Kirk's beginnings that could change everything. (Yes, even your lunch plans!) Also, we've seen a new Clone Wars trailer and a new Fringe video that made us oddly excited about both of those properties. Seth Rogen and Samuel L. Jackson explained their movies Green Hornet and The Spirit — and you'll never guess which one of them will look like George Clinton. And new photos from Life On Mars, Knowing, Heroes, The Middleman and Stargate Atlantis give away the goods big time. The goods, I tell you. Also, there are new tidbits about Sarah Connor and Knight Rider. Yay for omnitemporal spoilers! More » -

Nicholas Cage Faces Apocalypse By Numbers
A time capsule turns out to have eerily accurate predictions of future catastophes, in Knowing, which opens next March. It's up to grade school teacher Ted Myles (Nicolas Cage) to convince the nation of our next huge tragedy. Judging from this teaser trailer, the scariest thing in Knowing is a bunch of circling numbers. Let's hope director Alex Proyas (I Robot) can fill it with more apocalyptic moments.

Nicholas Cage Takes On Sept. 11
The monster-trashes-New York movie Cloverfield disarmed the "third rail" of dealing with Sept. 11 on film — and now Nicholas Cage is all set to dance on it. Cage's movie Knowing, now being filmed, uses Sept. 11 as a major plot point to set up its apocalyptic storyline. And it plays very explicitly with 9/11-style imagery, as you can see from some new set pics that came out. More »

Nicholas Cage's Time-Capsule Movie Should Have Stayed Buried
We were already kind of un-thrilled about Knowing, which stars Nicholas Cage as a professor (with Tourette's syndrome) who digs up a time capsule that can predict the future. But new details make it sound even less exciting. Rose Byrne (above) plays the daughter of the woman who buried the capsule in 1962, and she starts to remember strange events from her childhood after Cage contacts her. Not only does the box predict the Kennedy assassination and the death of Cage's wife, it also claims an apocalypse is happening within the week. The movie's plot sounds a lot like Isaac's clairvoyant paintings from Heroes, plus the fact that Alex (I Robot) Proyas is directing may be a bad sign. [Hollywood Reporter]

Mix Tourette's With Precognition, and You Get Nicolas Cage
Nicolas Cage will be starring in Knowing, where he apparently has knowledge about the future, and Tourette's syndrome. Alex Proyas, who also directed Dark City (yay!) and I, Robot (meh) will direct this flick about a man who digs up a time capsule and finds information inside that he and his son might be responsible for the destruction of the world. Whoops. Not sure where the Tourette's fits in, but I guess we'll find out. [Variety]

Watchmen Movie Keeps It Real
Zack Snyder's Watchmen will keep much of the darkness in Alan Moore's comic, judging from Jeffrey Dean Morgan's angst over playing the Comedian. Morgan, who sports a mustache and icky hair for the role (see photo), has a hard time with some of the Comedian's "morally neutral" ways. There are days that the Grey's Anatomy star finds it a "stretch" to make the rapist and mass-murderer likeable. Or maybe he's just trying to compete with Heath Ledger's Joker angst. [Superherohype]
