One of this summer’s movies hoping to get audiences excited during the Superbowl was Fast & Furious 6, which has released a minute-long spot giving us our first look at the movie. To coincide with that we’ve also got the new poster below.
Here’s the recently released synopsis: ‘Vin Diesel, Paul Walker and Dwayne Johnson lead the returning cast of all-stars as the global blockbuster franchise built on speed races to its next continent in Fast & Furious 6. Reuniting for their most high-stakes adventure yet, fan favorites Jordana Brewster, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and Elsa Pataky are joined by badass series newcomers Luke Evans and Gina Carano.
‘Since Dom (Diesel) and Brian’s (Walker) Rio heist toppled a kingpin’s empire and left their crew with $100 million, our heroes have scattered across the globe. But their inability to return home and living forever on the lam have left their lives incomplete.
‘Meanwhile, Hobbs (Johnson) has been tracking an organization of lethally skilled mercenary drivers across 12 countries, whose mastermind (Evans) is aided by a ruthless second-in-command revealed to be the love Dom thought was dead, Letty (Rodriguez). The only way to stop the criminal outfit is to outmatch them at street level, so Hobbs asks Dom to assemble his elite team in London. Payment? Full pardons for all of them so they can return home and make their families whole again.
‘Building on the worldwide blockbuster success of Fast Five and taking the action, stunts and narrative to even greater heights, Fast & Furious 6 sees director Justin Lin back behind the camera for the fourth time. He is supported by longtime producers Neal H. Moritz and Vin Diesel, who welcome producer Clayton Townsend back to the series.’
The movie hits cinemas on May 24th.
Young Aussie Callan McAuliffe didn’t really get the career boost from I Am Number Four that he was hoping for, but he’ll be hoping he gets more notice this summer playing the younger version of Leo DiCaprio’s title character in Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby.
Mark Waters has had a fair amount of success in the family/teen film arena, with movies such as Freaky Friday, Mean Girls, The Spiderwick Chronicles and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, and he’s sticking to that area for Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters, according to 
Later this year Disney will be hoping to match the success of Tangled with Frozen, a new take on the classic tale The Snow Queen (a story the studio has been thinking about animating for decades). Now two new character posters from the film have debuted over at 
Johnny Depp is going to be getting his gangster on as he’s signed on for Black Mass, where he’ll play Boston’s most notorious gangster, Whitey Bulger. The film is set to be directed by Academy Award winning director Barry Levinson (Rain Man).
Nobody seemed sure quite how well Warm Bodies would do at the US box office, but it turns out audiences were up for some zombie fun over the Superbowl weekend, as the Nicholas Hoult starring movie took $20 million in its first weekend to top the chart. It’s considered a pretty good opening for a relatively cheap movie that could easily have been ignored.
Although it’s only a brief joke at the end of the movie, Paranorman has been praised in many circles for bringing us what’s believed to be the first gay character in mainstream animation. Now screenwriter/co-director Chris Butler (who’s gay himself) has been talking to 
But was there any resistance from the studio about including a gay character in a family film? “Honestly? I never had any resistance from the studio,” Butler says, “That’s what’s really special about Laika [ParaNorman‘s animation studio]. I don’t think there’s any kind of agenda going on, but I think that Laika is brave and wants to create movies, tell stories that maybe no one else is doing right now. I think it’s them a really exciting place. That’s not to say — we did Coraline, and while that broke many of the formulaic boundaries of kids’ movies and in some ways it’s more terrifying than ParaNorman — but that’s not to say what we’re all about. What it says is that Laika is bold and willing to go there. There are plenty of things being developed at the studio that are really exciting because the other studios aren’t making them. They’re not the creepy-movie-for-kids studio. We are maybe the studio that is taking more chances creatively and that is exciting.”
