From the director of The Lovely Bones and the producer of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark comes… this . What can I say? It’s a year away and it’s going to make a fucking fortune.
Who knew Katie Holmes had such a horrifying streak? After screening her latest flick, Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , for her husband Tom Cruise recently, Katie said it left the actor sufficiently spooked. Holmes said Cruise had to watch another film before retiring for the evening. “I’m not sure what he watched … Maybe The Sound of Music?” Our partner site, Movie Fanatic, just saw Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark (follow the above link for more on the film) and can confirm that yes, it is scary. Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro tells the story of a modern family living in an old Rhode Island mansion that has secrets buried deep below the ground. Holmes, a fan of the classics from the horror genre, admits that she appreciated del Toro’s take on the steadfast haunted-house movie storyline. She also liked that the film allowed her to be a mother figure to a young daughter, just like she is in real life to Suri Cruise . She’s five now. Five! [Photo: WENN.com]
‘That’s the rhythm of the movie in a horror genre,’ director tells MTV News. By Deborah Kim, with reporting by Kara Warner Guillermo del Toro Photo: Andrew H. Walker/ Getty Images It’s a cautionary tale straight out of a mother’s mouth: “If you don’t brush your teeth, monsters will creep into your mouth at night and devour them like candy.” But Guillermo del Toro’s rated-R version is less cavity, more cryptic. Based on a 1973 TV movie with the same name, Friday’s “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” starring Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce, features the same hollow whispers from menacing monsters trapped behind brick fireplaces, only now those creatures are out for innocent, bright-white baby teeth. But even with del Toro’s new spin on what he said was the scariest movie he’d ever seen as a kid, the producer told MTV News some things always stay the same. “In horror films, there are only two dynamics. One is what I call hide and seek, meaning there’s a lot of tension. If you’re searching, you’re really tense about opening the door and somebody jumping out of the closet that was hiding. “And if you’re hiding in the closet, you’re really afraid when you hear footsteps nearby,” he added. “And then tag, when the person finally comes out, and you’re going to chase them to tag them.” With a mind as complicated and fantastical as Pan’s Labyrinth, you’d expect del Toro to have a more intricate stream of thought. But the method behind his moviemaking is simply, well, simple. “I do sort of a tag, hide and seek, hide and seek, hide and seek, tag, tag, tag,” he explained. “So that’s the rhythm of the movie in a horror genre. You just pace it like that.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Clip offers glimpse of villain Bane in action while Liam Neeson’s Ra’s Al Ghul resurfaces in voiceover. By Terri Schwartz Tom Hardy as Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises” trailer Photo: Warner Bros. Pictures In exactly one year and two days, the Dark Knight will rise for the last time under the direction of Christopher Nolan. Fans flocking to the cinemas over the weekend to see “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2” were lucky enough to catch the first teaser trailer of “The Dark Knight Rises,” the final installment of Nolan’s Batman trilogy. But now the official trailer has hit the Internet, teasing an apocalyptic conclusion to the beloved series. The latest clip appropriately teases the two elements of “The Dark Knight Rises” that have fans already so riled up. First off, a voiceover by Liam Neeson’s “Batman Begins” character, Ra’s Al Ghul, implies the connection to the first Batman movie that moviegoers have long suspected. “If you make yourself more than just a man, if you devote yourself to an ideal, then you become something else entirely,” he whispers. “A legend, Mr. Wayne, a legend.” When we last saw Batman, he was going into hiding after the destruction caused by the Joker and Two-Face. But the Batman must rise, and in new footage from the trailer, it’s Batman’s old friend, Commissioner Gordon, who asks him to do so. “We were in this together, and then you were gone,” says an incapacitated Gordon, played by Gary Oldman. “And now this evil rises. The Batman has to come back.” “This evil,” the second key trailer element, seems to imply Bane, the new “Dark Knight” villain played by Tom Hardy. Several shots of Bane are mixed in with the final moments of the trailer, a follow-up to the previously released photo of the man who broke the Bat. Among these images is also the first shot of Christian Bale as Batman in “The Dark Knight Rises.” The final look in the trailer — Gotham City’s skyscrapers crumbling down in a shape of the Bat symbol — hearkens back to the poster released last week. It certainly seems to imply that Gotham City might be destroyed while the Dark Knight does rise. There are still several characters left unseen, though, including Anne Hathaway as Catwoman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard in presumed there-must-be-more-to-it-than-that roles. The Neeson voiceover opens up a whole new can of worms when it comes to the theory that Cotillard is actually playing Ra’s Al Ghul’s daughter, Talia Al Ghul, though whether that concept comes to fruition remains to be seen.

Mrs. Tom Cruise says ‘Ghost Protocol’ is ‘the best ‘Mission’ yet.’ By Kara Warner Katie Homes & Guillermo Del Toro Photo: MTV News While we’ve been awaiting an official trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” — which is said to drop in front of this week’s “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” — a French version leaked online Monday (June 27), and reportedly contains plenty of expected shots of Tom Cruise involved in crazy action sequences as super-spy Ethan Hunt. Since we have yet to see the trailer or any footage ourselves, when MTV News caught up with Cruise’s better half, Katie Holmes, Monday during the press day for “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” we asked if she’s seen any of the film yet. “I have. I had an advanced screening,” she said with a laugh, adding that it’s a perk of being married to the film’s star. As for her thoughts about Cruise’s death-defying stunts in the film, particularly those he performed atop Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (the world’s tallest building), Holmes turned the question over to Guillermo del Toro, who produced “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.” “What did you think, Guillermo, about the Burj?” she asked him. “I love it!” he said, at which point they both agreed that Cruise’s stunts were scarier than their film, which revolves around the demonic activities of a group of terrifying little creatures that seek out and kill humans, particularly children. “It’s amazing,” Holmes continued. “The movie is going to be very cool and intense and the best ‘Mission’ yet.” The actress also mentioned that she’d be game for a role that required a few crazy stunts herself. “I think it sounds fun,” she said. Del Toro then chimed in with his own “Mission: Impossible Diaries,” so to speak: “I live ‘Mission: Impossible.’ It’s what I call my diet,” he joked, and then proceeded to hum the “Mission: Impossible” theme song, while miming his insatiable appetite, making Holmes burst out laughing. Holmes weighed-in: “I have a lot of ‘Mission: Impossible’ moments, just being a mom.” Del Toro agreed: “Yes, coping with the home front.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
