‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ Movie Trailer

At last, “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” full trailer is now available shows some dark roads ahead for Harry, Ron and Hermione. Every being will need to pick a side in the epic war that’s to begin. This is the final chapter of Harry Potter wherein our heroes leave Hogwarts and embark on a journey to complete Dumbledore’s search for the remaining Horcruxes. Meanwhile, Voldemort has taken over the Ministry of Magic and it’s not safe for anyone who isn’t Team Death Eater. The trailer begins ominously enough as an offscreen voice informs Lord Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes) that “there’s no sign of him, my lord.” The “him” in question quickly makes himself known, as Harry Potter (Radcliffe) emerges in a dark forest clearing, wand at the ready, eyes locked with the serpentine Voldemort’s. “Harry Potter,” Voldemort hisses softly. “The Boy Who Lived … come to die!” Split into two parts, there’s definitely enough material to fill two films. The Horcruxes won’t give themselves up easily. Old friends will risk their lives to beat Voldemort’s forces. And there’s a huge battle over the school and between Harry and Voldemort. Now, fans are getting their first look as to what lies ahead in the final “Harry Potter” adventure, with the first full-length trailer for “Deathly Hallows” debuting online early Monday evening (June 28). Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson reprise their roles as Harry, Ron and Hermione in “Deathly Hallows,” which has been divided into two films. Despite the decision to split the story in two, the feature-length trailer combines elements from both films for one epic masterpiece highlighting the final showdown between the Boy Who Lived and He Who Must Not Be Named. Trailer describes “Deathly Hallows” as “the finale of the worldwide phenomenon, the motion picture event of a generation.” Based on the footage seen here, those words are hardly an understatement. The first part of “Deathly Hallows” arrives in theaters this November, with the final installment in the “Harry Potter” series unfolding in July 2011.

Actually, It’s Called Football: 5 Things Other Than The World Cup That Are Way More Popular Outside America

After Landon Donovan’s triumphant last-minute goal last Wednesday, it seems like Soccer Fever has hit America. Unfortunately, it’s a bit of a low-grade fever, maybe running a toasty 99.7, rather than the 106 degree scorcher that soccer brings out virtually everywhere else in the world. It’s just a sad fact of our country — some may certainly love it, but by and large, the U.S. just isn’t that into The World Cup. But don’t feel bad, soccer! Here are five other things that are way more popular outside America.

What are Woody Allen’s Favorite Woody Allen Movies?

The IM comes in from a few friends, and it’s virtually the same in every case: “Woody Allen picked six favorites from his own list of films, and have you SEEN the choices?” I hadn’t yet, but at the same time, my Google Reader had filled up with aggrieved headlines about it, and to take it from the reception, he chose unwisely! So I look at the six he picked, and guys? They’re not that bad.

The 9 Most Scathing Critical Responses to Grown Ups

Hoo boy. If you couldn’t smell Grown Ups oozing down the summer-movie pipe months ago, there’s definitely no escaping it now. At least that’s the general consensus today among critics, whose reactions vary from visceral hate to a kind of psychic daze you might see among victims of severe head trauma and/or Sex and the City 2 . Let’s see what there is to see!

Peter Jackson Reportedly Negotiating To Direct ‘The Hobbit’

Guillermo del Toro stepped down as director just over three weeks ago. By Eric Ditzian Peter Jackson Photo: MTV News In a stunning development in the long-delayed big-screen adaptation of “The Hobbit,” just over three weeks after Guillermo del Toro abandoned directorial duties , Peter Jackson is reportedly negotiating to step into the director’s chair for the two-part production. Deadline.com reports that Jackson is in the midst of negotiations with Warner Bros., New Line and MGM. Jackson, of course, is intimately familiar with Middle-earth, having directed the three installments of the “Lord of the Rings” franchise and winning the Oscar for directing in 2003. He was already co-writing the “Hobbit” screenplays, based on the 1937 book by J.R.R. Tolkien, and shepherding development as a producer. And while rumors surfaced last week that Jackson was being courted to direct as well, that possibility seemed like wishful thinking for Tolkienites. Both “Hobbit” films are said to be gearing up to shoot back-to-back in Jackson’s native New Zealand. MGM has been waging a very public struggle with financial issues, and Deadline repots that the studio is being encouraged to “loosen the purse strings and make the movies happen.” Since del Toro left the production late last month, after two years of pre-production, directors like David Yates (“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”) and Neill Blomkamp (“District 9”) have been rumored to be circling the job. But Jackson and his creative team have reportedly scheduled trips to London and Los Angeles to meet with potential actors, lending further credence to the idea that Jackson will, in fact, take on “Hobbit” directing duties. MTV News’ requests for comment from Jackson’s representative and MGM were not returned as of press time.

Taylor Hackford on Love Ranch — and Directing Wife Helen Mirren’s Sex Scene

It only took 25 years after their first, small collaboration, but director Taylor Hackford finally found the right film to make with his wife Helen Mirren. And to think: Love Ranch , which opens next week, almost didn’t open at all. The fictionalized story of the first legal brothel in the U.S. — and the crimes of passion (and otherwise) that helped sink it in 1977 — was in distribution limbo for most of 2009, ultimately breaking out earlier this year. Along with it come Mirren as a no-nonsense Nevada madam and Joe Pesci (in his first starring role in more than a decade) as her bare-knuckled pimpresario husband.
