Hopefully you aren’t tired of seeing Michelle Williams at the Academy Awards. The twice-nominated star stands a very good chance of becoming thrice nominated in 2012 thanks to her role as Marilyn Monroe in My Week With Marilyn . Whether or not the film holds water as an Oscar contender remains to be seen — it will debut at the New York Film Festival in October — but the first poster isn’t concerned with any of that; it’s all about Michelle-as-Marilyn. Click through for a look.

I’m afraid of Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , but for silly reasons. It has something to do with the title, which sounds like either an eerie whisper at Neverland Ranch or a creepy Paul Anka hit, and the track record of Ms. Katie Holmes, who first tried to terrify us in 1999’s hyper-dorky Teaching Mrs. Tingle . You’d think Scream maestro Kevin Williamson would want to explore a darker teen fantasy than “getting back at a mean teacher,” but no — this movie is the horror equivalent of the Nickelodeon Takes Over Your School sweepstakes. Your history instructor is getting slimed! With her own blood! Sweet!

When Guillermo del Toro ( Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth ) set out to update the scariest movie he’d ever seen as a child — the 1973 made-for-television movie Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , about inhabitants of a house who discover sinister creatures living in the basement — he intended to frighten and thrill a new generation of youngsters. Even co-star Katie Holmes , who makes a rare genre appearance in the Del Toro-produced and co-scripted horror pic, found the script to so terrifying that she knew she had to do it. But is Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark , as the MPAA deemed, too scary for kids?

That old cinematic treat. Affleck is about to start work on Argo , a CIA drama set during the Iran hostage crisis. Ooh, intrigue! Delicious. I’m yelling , “Gobble, gobble” already. [ THR ]

Nope, you can’t bring up Dr. Strangelove and feel like a sophisticated comedy aficionado anymore: Charlie Sheen’s Comedy Central roast references the 1963 film in its first advertisement, rendering it almost useless to humanity. That said, I can’t wait for the actual roast — talk about a “war room.”

Cannes crowd-pleaser The Artist — a black-and-white, silent (save the musical score) film about Hollywood in the ’20s — isn’t tampering with the poster that ushered in its success: The Weinstein Company is reusing the gorgeous shot that led to the movie’s best actor prize for Jean Dujardin. Michel Hazanavicius’s Gallic flick hits the states on Nov. 23. Can you handle the intense Clark Gable/Claudette Colbert throwback?
