First Look at Daniel Day-Lewis as Steven Spielberg’s Eerily Accurate Lincoln

Steven Spielberg couldn’t be at the AFI Fest premiere of The Adventures of Tintin because he was filming Lincoln in Virginia — and now we know that the Lincoln production process is a completely-effing-serious one. Not only does star Daniel Day-Lewis look remarkable as Lincoln in this new candid photo, but Variety ‘s Jeff Sneider Tweeted a report that he “hasn’t broken his Lincoln accent since March” and his “real name doesn’t even appear on the call sheet.” That is commitment. And insanity. And the new photo will haunt you like a specter in Ford’s Theatre.

Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie Teaser: WTF?

Let me preface this by saying that I love Tim and Eric’s bizarro-surrealist sketch comedy shtick, and when I write “WTF?” I don’t necessarily mean it in a bad way. It’s just… what else can be said about the new ultra-brief teaser for Tim and Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie ? What reactions other than “WTF?” did these evil comic geniuses even intend?

The Lucky One Poster: Zac Efron Pouts for Love

The next Nicholas Sparks joint, The Lucky One , comes out April 20, but Zac Efron gives us everything we need to survive the five-month wait — namely, a killer pout. He stars in The Lucky One as an Iraq War vet who comes home to locate the unknown woman who served as his “good luck charm during the war.” In the film’s poster, he appears to have found her: Taylor Schilling , of the unfairly canceled NBC drama Mercy , stands in frame. Pretty damn Notebook -y all around.

The Human Centipede II Banned in Australia

Consider it another notch in Tom Six ‘s cinematic bedpost: The barf-inducing horror sequel The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) has been banned in Australia following review by the Classification Review Board, the nation’s three-person governing body.

Consider Uggie: The Awards Case for The Artist’s Wonder Dog

It’s awards madness this week at Movieline, with the New York Film Critics Circle and Gotham Awards having weighed in on their best of 2011, the Independent Spirit Awards revealing their nominees, and the National Board of Review winners forthcoming on Thursday. But amid all the institutionalized laurels and accolades, one subject remains notably absent — a subject so beloved within his own celebrated film that the omission remains a cruel snub at best and a skulduggerous interspecial sham at worst.

Shame Redband Trailer: Inside Fassbender’s Fassboner

To call the newly unveiled, NSFW redband trailer for Shame hot is an understatement, since it quickens the pulse in a delicious way that leads to much more than just sheer titillation. Watch as poor sex-addicted Michael Fassbender is wracked with torment as he rides the NYC subway, silently eye-fucking a gorgeous stranger on the train. However often they say men think about sex in a given day, this guy does multiplied by a thousand… and it’s wearing on his weary, helpless soul.
