A brand new trailer for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen has been released through Yahoo! Movies for your viewing pleasure. The trailer basically takes the ShoWest footage that had a short run on the Internet not too long ago, and chops it down and turns it into a real trailer. The major score is the fact that not only did they include the jaw-dropping Devastator in the trailer, but they added even more of him than the ShoWest footage had!

Also worth note is the inclusion of Megatron. We all knew he was going to be in the damn movie, but until now, his presence was denied left and right, and he wasn’t even listed on that Transformer round-up that was put out (Read: The List: What ‘Bots You’ll See In ‘Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen’)

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is directed by Michael Bay and stars Shia LaBeouf and Megan Fox along with other returning cast such as Josh Duhamel, John Turturro, Tyrese Gibson. [...]

Video game fanatics. Web game fanatics. It’s time to get your Terminator game on!

By now, we’re all aware that the McG directed and Christian Bale starring Terminator Salvation is moving full steam ahead toward its May 21, 2009 release. To help build even more excitement for the movie by utilizing the massively-popular and still-growing “penny for your thoughts” website: Twitter. Terminator also has a new multi-console video game coming out as well. We all know the track record for movie-based video games, but it doesn’t look too bad, so hopefully it will become a rare gem.

Here’s how the game works:

In the Terminator Salvation Twitter game, members of the human resistance communicate with each other through Twitter and turn to the community for help in decoding intercepted Skynet transmissions. Players earn points through timely assistance in decoding these messages and, with these points, rise in rank within the Resistance Army. Players must constantly be on guard against the machines, which periodically and randomly choose a number of players and penalize them a percentage of their points. A companion blog augments the information within Twitter and hosts a leader board for the game. [...]

EW has a sneak peek of the one and only Leonard Nimoy in his guest-starring role on the season finale of Fringe, the series created by Star Trek director JJ Abrams.

In the season finale, which will air on Fox on May 12, 2009, Nimoy will appear as William Bell, the mysterious founder of Massive Dynamic. He’ll also come back to the show next season for at least two episodes.

Nimoy spoke about his Fringe character in an interview with EW:

What’s going to be explored is the story of his relationship with [former lab partner Walter Bishop], what he wants with [special agent Olivia Dunham], what he is intending to do with all this money and power that he has, what are his idiosyncrasies. I think we managed to get some interesting touches into the brief scene with Anna [Torv, who plays Olivia]. [...]

This might come as a surprise, but William Shatner claims that he’s never seen the new Star Trek trailer. So Access Hollywood took the opportunity to show it to Shatner and capture the original James T. Kirk’s reaction to it.

There’s a split-screen view of his first reactions to the trailer, as well as behind-the-scenes interview footage captured by Shatner’s Shatner Vision cameras.

Shatner also talks about a book he co-wrote in 2007, Star Trek: The Academy — Collision Course, which, similar to the upcoming Trek film, focuses separately on the younger, pre-Federation days of Kirk and Spock and how they came to be at Starfleet Academy [...]

USA Today has been scoring the first looks lately — first they got their hands on the first image of Russell Crowe in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood (Read: Geek Peek: Russell Crowe In Ridley Scott’s ‘Robin Hood’); and now they have an image of Robert Downey Jr. in a little movie from Jon Favreau called Iron Man 2. Click for a larger version.

Not much is known about the plot of Iron Man 2, but we do know that it will take place six months after Tony Stark admitted to himself being Iron Man.

Here’s what Favreau had to say about that basic premise:

How many superheroes are open about their true identities? We wanted to play with that idea. But it obviously has consequences — in his relationships, on the team. There are a lot of areas we can explore.

Along with Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow is returning as Pepper Potts, and Samuel L. Jackson is back as Nick Fury. New members of the impressive cast include: Don Cheadle as James Rhodes/War Machine; Mickey Rourke as Whiplash; Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer; and Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow. [...]
