The critics blurbs in this clip say “romantic comedy” — as does the purple sex-toy scene — but the melancholy soundtrack and the sad, pensive looks on Lizzy Caplan and Alison Brie’ s faces say bring some Puffs when you see Michael Mohan’s Save the Date . Caplan is fast becoming the go-to girl for indie comedies that scrutinize the meaning of love, particularly as it relates to the institution of marriage. This past summer, she was part of the ensemble in Leslye Headland’s wickedly honest Bachelorette , and in Save the Date she plays Sarah, who learns something about herself when she gets caught up in a rebound romance after turning down her boyfriend’s marriage proposal. Brie plays Caplan’s sister Beth who is caught up in the details of her own wedding. Hand me a tissue, please. I’m feeling weepy already. Follow Frank DiGiacomo on Twitter.

I’ll admit I was a bit iffy on this whole live singing concept in Tom Hooper’s epic Les Miserables film adaptation… until now. The new international trailer swells with emotion as everyone from Hugh Jackman to Anne Hathaway to Amanda Seyfried , Russell Crowe , and Eddie Redmayne warble Claude-Michel Schönberg’s iconic tunes like their Oscar hopes depended on it. Which they do. Hathaway’s got the showy role in Fantine, whose “I Dreamed A Dream” was one of the first bits to leak onto the internet months back. Thank goodness for the new trailer, which shows that the rest of the ensemble is bringing their singing game to the streets of 19th century France, too. We’ve got Jackman as Valjean, Crowe as Javert, Seyfried as Cosette, all of whom have been known to flex their vocal chords from time to time. Redmayne, who starred most recently in My Week With Marilyn and plays Marius, has yet to show off his pipes but apparently was a chorister at Eton College – not too shabby. Then there’s Samantha Barks as Eponine, who’ll probably blow everyone else in the cast away seeing as she’s an actual West End star. (Remember when we thought Taylor Swift had the role in the bag? Oh, Internet .) In any case, hope! Optimism! I know Les Mis is already going to steal all the Christmas movie-going dollars, but now I’m more convinced it’ll be a repeat-view Oscar contender and not just a must-see for Broadway nuts. Color me a believer. Read more on Les Miserables . Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Ahead of Skyfall ‘s theatrical roll out last month in the U.K. and this week’s release in the U.S., Bond star Daniel Craig has said he’s committed to two more 007. But in a recent interview, Craig held out the possibility he is holding out the possibility of departing the role as the debonaire British operative. The film screened in NYC and L.A. last night to packed crowds. The Secret Screening of the latest Bond packed Grauman’s Chinese Theater Wednesday night at AFI Fest . “I’ve been trying to get out of this from the very moment I got into it,” Craig told Rolling Stone . “But they won’t let me go, and I’ve agreed to do a couple more, but let’s see how this one does, because business is business and if the shit goes down, I’ve got a contract that somebody will happily wipe their ass with.” [ Related: ‘Skyfall’ Premiere Gallery – 007 Mingles With Royalty On The Red Carpet ] It is not quite clear whether his descriptives were said ahead of Skyfall ‘s theatrical release in the U.K. and other territories. The latest installment is one of the most successful in the 50 year-old franchise. The Sam Mendes-directed film also starring Judi Dench and Javier Bardem is expected to pass the $400 million mark internationally and that does not include the U.S. where it’s tracking to have a robust debut. Javier Bardem, who is winning accolades for his role in the latest Bond film playing villain Raoul Silva, told Cinema Blend that he was once offered to play 007, telling the publication, “Years ago, I was. I don’t remember what movie it was for. But yeah, it was just not that time. I didn’t feel it was the time for me to do something like that. And also, I was doing something else, so I passed. This time, when I read it, I felt that it was very powerful material, and I wanted to join.” Bardem said that he doesn’t regret the pass because it gave him a chance to pursue other things, even if some of them weren’t always “beautifully executed.” Given the success of Skyfall , it is highly unlikely anyone will – err – foul Craig’s contract as 007 for at least two more features. But speculation, nevertheless, ratcheted up a couple weeks ago that Bond’s next manifestation may possibly take an ethnic change. Bond girl Naomie Harris recently hinted at the possible news, saying that the next 007 may be Idris Elba. If so, the star of The Wire and films Prometheus and Thor would become the first non-Caucasian James Bond in his 50 years. Harris hinted that Elba met with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli about the possibility. Skyfall had advanced screenings in L.A. and New York Wednesday night. The film packed in a full-house as AFI Fest’s “Secret Screening” at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Rumors swirled that perhaps some of the cast would make an appearance at the screening since they were in town doing press. The red carpet was seen getting a good vacuuming hours ahead of the screening and the AFI Fest Step and Repeat was in place, but as the 9:15 start-time neared, the photo backdrop was covered up and star-watchers were not gathering behind barricades as they’ve done nightly at the festival ahead of nightly Galas. They will likely return, however, for Thursday night’s Closing Night Gala, Lincoln [ Sources: Rolling Stone , Cinema Blend ]

Scarlett Johansson got a new tattoo and she’s showing it off for the internet because that’s what people do when they get new tattoos…at least all the people I see with half sleeves who now all of a sudden rock tank tops that they never rocked before…or all the people with calf tattoos who still wear shots in winter…just so people see their 300 dollar investment….not that Scarlett Johansson’s new tattoo cost 300 dollars…shit looks like she got it done at a flea market…you know with an AIDS ridden tattoo gun…all filled with Hep like it was Pam Anderson cuz the don’t have running water at the flea market to clean the shit…I mean this is so bad…it looks like she got it in prison with pen ink and a vote for Obama pin….but as someone who loves the cowboy movement…especially that of the 60s…I guess it’s kinda cute…and I mean any excuse for any girl to pull her shirt up…is a good one…even if it is visually not all that awesome.

Is there civil unrest amidst The Civil Wars? The popular folk duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White shocked fans last night, releasing a statement announcing that due to “internal discord and irreconcilable differences of ambition” they were unable to “continue as a touring entity at this time. The Civil Wars in Concert So, is this it for the two-person group, which rose to fame in 2011 with the album “Barton Hollow?” “Our sincere hope is to have new music for you in 2013,” they added in the statement, providing followers with a ray of hope.
