Like those vintage 1980s Reese’s Peanut Butter cup ads built around the “Two great tastes that taste great together,” tag line, this photo tweeted by J.J. Abrams ‘ Bad Robot production company is a cool visual mash-up of the filmmaker’s past and future work. No pressure, Mr. Abrams! If you’ve never seen the Reese’s ads, here’s a particularly gooey one. For the record, I have never seen an actual human walking in public while eating from a container of peanut butter, emblazoned with the words “peanut butter.” If you have, please record your sightings in the comments section below and I’ll get the folks at Fringe on it right away. They’ve got some time on their hands. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter. Follow Movieline on Twitter.

It’s been tough to know what to expect from the forthcoming remake of Sam Raimi’s horror classic Evil Dead , but let the first trailer put your mind to rest — or, really, unrest: This is good, old-fashioned, red-band terror that manages to evoke the spirit of the original film (evil book unleashes spirits in a cabin in the woods; nothing good comes of it) with all new kinds of messed up, squishy images to keep you awake at night. Gone is the safe, comforting distance created by low budget 1980s effects work and Bruce Campbell ‘s cult status-worthy antics; with its new “heroine” (Jane Levy) and gang of fresh meat soon-to-be-victims and some fantastically icky gore shots, this ain’t your grandpa’s Evil Dead . Fede Alvarez is in the director’s chair on the April 12 release, while Raimi and Campbell are onboard as producers. Take a look at the redband trailer below and chime in with your verdict, and good luck keeping your dinner down/fending off visions of creepy tongue-splitting possessed girls in your nightmares tonight. Synopsis: In the much anticipated remake of the 1981 cult-hit horror film, five twenty-something friends become holed up in a remote cabin. When they discover a Book of the Dead, they unwittingly summon up dormant demons living in the nearby woods, which possess the youngsters in succession until only one is left intact to fight for survival.

Combine a kind heart and the power of social networking and sometimes, the proverbial mountain will go to Muhammad. That was the case recently when director J.J. Abrams granted a dying cancer patient the chance to see Star Trek Into Darkness months before the feature is set to head into theaters. [ Related: New ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Teaser: The Wrath Of Cumberbatch? ] Abrams learned of the man’s wish last week on link-sharing site Reddit. A user identified as ideeeyut detailed how his 41-year old Trekkie friend, who has leukemia and other health issues, headed out to a screening of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hoping to catch a ten-minute preview of the upcoming Star Trek film. The theater, however, did not play the preview, which is showing in most theaters. The disappointment lead Daniel’s friend to give a “passionate plea” via Reddit for help to allow Daniel to see the film, according to CNET via Deadline. After the request hit Reddit, the story found its way onto a number of Trek and geek sites, leading one user to tweet the story to J.J. Abrams and other working on the film, leading to Abrams telephoning Daniel up about setting plans for a personal preview. Ideeyut went back to Reddit a few days later, quoting Daniel’s wife who said, “We saw it and we enjoyed it immensely as a film and as a gesture.” She said further that she hoped the message would spotlight the “heartfelt message of giving.” Star Trek Into Darkness opens May 17th.

Before Sunday night’s L.A. Film Fest premiere of the August horror pic Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark succumbed to an unfortunate series of annoyances — a fire alarm temporarily evacuated the theater midway through, while chaos reigned at the post-screening cell phone check — producer and co-writer Guillermo del Toro emphasized what, hopefully, will make Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark memorable: Its ” pervasive scariness ,” so terrifying that the MPAA deemed it too frightening for its intended rating.

John Slattery’s Emmy-nominated performance as the pompous Roger Sterling on Mad Men has led to a number of film roles for the 48-year-old actor: He’s turned up in Reservation Road , Charlie Wilson’s War , and — more recently — in The Adjustment Bureau (out on DVD next week), playing a supernatural, crisply-suited agent named Richardson who’s responsible for breaking up two fate-defying romantics (Matt Damon and Emily Blunt). Movieline caught up with Slattery to discuss filming The Adjustment Bureau , wariness about Roger Sterling knockoff roles, and the breakneck pace of directing Mad Men .
