Back when the news broke that there would be more “Twilight” movies, the news was hard to miss for anyone plugged into the fan base.

But not everyone heard.

It seems word hasn’t reached at least on person of the “Twilight” cast. When I spoke with Kellan Lutz about the upcoming home video release of “Expendables 3,” this was his response to my question about his reaction to the news:

“This is the first I’m hearing of it. What’s going on with it?”

So while you might be pumped for the five short films from up-and-coming female director, featuring characters from the world of “Twilight,” this just goes to show how news like this travels for people who aren’t just fans.

After I explained the concept to Lutz, he seemed enthusiastic and shared some of his thoughts.

“Well, that’s very innovative. I have to hand it to Summit and Lionsgate. That’s a great way to reach the masses again,” he said. “It seems like it’s going to be really interactive as well, with Facebook fans being able to voice their opinions. I just think it’s a really cool idea. They better not give my character away.”

But they couldn’t possibly recast Emmett, right? “Nah, that happens all the time,” Lutz said.

Even in that case, Lutz is still grateful for what the series meant for his career. “‘Twilight’ was such a blessing that I couldn’t have foreseen and it doing what it did,” he said. “Lionsgate is smart. Look what they’re doing. I’m ...

Shailene Woodley‘s new movie, “White Bird in a Blizzard,” is set in the ’80s, so naturally, the the actress should know everything about the decade, right?

Not quite.

One of the late additions to this year’s Oscar race was “The Gambler,” a remake of the 1974 James Caan movie directed by “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” helmer Rupert Wyatt and starring Mark Wahlberg.

Being a late entry, “The Gambler” needs to generate some buzz and quick. That’s where this first, NSFW trailer comes in.

“The Gambler” tells the story of Jim Bennett, a literature professor with a tinsy, winsy gambling problem. The preview centers around a conversation that he has with a gangster played by John Goodman about some funding he’s (probably unwisely) taking in.

The movie also stars “Short Term 12″ breakout Brie Larson, and seeing what’s next from her and Wyatt post-”Apes” is enough to get excited about this one.

“The Gambler” opens in limited release on December 19, before going wide on January 1.

In a world that can be cruel, random and unjust, bed is one of the few objective goods. There’s literally nothing bad about bed. It’s something that was invented with the sole purpose of being comfortable.

But I digress.

Of course, the inherent goodness of bed makes it the perfect target for horror movies, which have always sought out everyday things to inject horror into. (For an upcoming example, look no further than MTV’s “The Dorm,” premiering on October 26 at 8 p.m. ET.)

This being the case, let’s take a look back at some terrifying sequences that tried to ruin bed forever.

1. “Nightmare on Elm Street”

Not only does Freddy Krueger try to destroy bed, but he also make everyone afraid of naps, which is a major d–k move.

2. “The Exorcist”

On one hand, Regan’s bed is even comfier after her possession, due to the extra padding. On the other, the devil’s inside her.

3. “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark”

This little-seen Guillermo del Toro production managed to make sheets scary with a single trailer.

4. “Paranormal Activity”

Most of the first movie is about bad stuff happening while you sleep. Not cool.

5. “Poltergeist”

You’ve probably repressed most of Tobe Hooper’s PG nightmare-a-thon, but whoops. Now you’re scared of anthropomorphized clown dolls coming to kill you.

6. “Mama”

This is why it’s best to get bed frames that don’t have any space under them. Yes, because of Mama.

7. “Insidious”

Oh, what’s that outside? Nope, now it’s inside and interrupting what would have been a solid eight hours ...

Even with all of its interconnected intricacies, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has yet to line up each of its heroes in a single shot. This is would obviously be the culmination of the expanding film series, but it would also give us the chance to see how tall everyone is in comparison to each other.

So, we’re here to help you out. With our Marvel Studios heigh chart, you can see how Star-Lord stacks up to Iron Man, not in fighting ability but in vertical stature.

The success of “Guardians of the Galaxy” was limited to the roughly $730 million it made at the box office. The soundtrack topped the charts with nothing more than some retro hits and curation from Peter Quill’s mom.

Now, thanks to Marvel and Hollywood Records, you’ll be able to listen to “Awesome Mix Vol. 1″ in the form in which it was meant to be enjoyed.

That’s right! Starting on November 17, you can buy the “Guardians of the Galaxy” soundtrack on cassette tape. (Kid, if you have questions, just go here. I don’t have time for this.)

As much as I appreciated the vinyl releases of the soundtrack, this is really what we’ve need the whole time. The cassette will come in packaging that looks exactly like the version we saw in the movie, complete with a hand-written track list.

“Awesome Mix Vol. 1 will be available in independent music stores, so you may have to do some hunting to find it. This is a limited edition, so it will only be available until supplies last or December 31.

In a press release today, Disney Animation revealed another piece of concept art from their upcoming musical “Moana,” which is partially based on ancient Polynesian folklore.

Here’s a look at the brand new Disney heroine, the titular Moana:

From the way Disney describes the movie in the release, it sounds like the studio is continuing its legacy of strong female characters leading its adventures.

“In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds and ancient folklore.”

A fabled island? An incredible journey? The legendary demi-god Maui? I’m so in.

Plus, “Moana” is directed by Ron Clements and John Musker, who worked on “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin,” and “The Princess and the Frog,” so they know a couple things about making amazing Disney movies.

“Moana” is scheduled to hit theaters in 2016.

Actors don’t always get to take the cool props home from the movies they work on, but there are some exceptions. For example, on a couple of the “Iron Man” movies, Robert Downey, Jr. took home a few helmets.

That seems appropriate, right, and not at all crazy or over-the-top.

Well, for “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” according to what the actor told the Mirror, he made an off-hand comment about wanting the “A” from Avengers Tower, and then this happened.

“On the last ‘Avengers,’ there’s this scene where there’s this ‘A’ which is probably 30 feet tall and I’m looking at it, and we’re shooting in England, and I go, ‘I need that in my office in Venice.’

“About two weeks ago, a wheeler showed up, I’m like, ‘What the heck is this doing here?!’ And they go, ‘This is the ‘A’ you asked for.’ And I go, ‘They brought it?!’ So now we have a massive Avengers ‘A’ that will be prominently placed.”

Somewhere, Samuel L. Jackson is kicking himself for not speaking up sooner.

“Avengers: Age of Ultron” opens in theaters on May 1.

October 19 marked the 20th anniversary of the theatrical release of “Clerks” and Kevin Smith‘s arrival on the independent film scene.

The movie that screened that day is the same low-budget wonder that we know today, but in its earliest form, “Clerks” ended on a much different note, one that may have changed the film’s reception if it had ever reached wide audiences.

Smith admits now that he only decided to kill Dante in the movie’s final scene because he didn’t know how to end it otherwise. After seeing this ending for the first time, Bob Hawk and John Pierson – Smith’s mentors – approached the writer-director about the end and convinced him to cut it.

Who knows what would have happened if Smith had decided to keep the ending? It certainly wouldn’t have garner the warm reception it received early on, and perhaps today, we wouldn’t be celebrating the two decades since its release.
