Entertainment Link-Off: Monster Party!

Amber_Heard_MalibuMag_7Well if you’re heading out to the theatres this weekend, it sure ain’t for the eye candy. One of the big releases is the animated film Monsters University, which serves as a prequel to the 2001 film Monsters Inc. Then there’s the PG-13 zombie flick World War Z. Anyway, not sure who to kick off this ELO with, so here’s the always hot Amber Heard.

After the jump, Billy Crystal meets his worst nightmare, movie rumours for Jurassic Park 4 and Terminator 5, no Mary Jane in Spider-Man 2, check out a minion test reel and a music video that is meant to Channing all over your Tatum.

Earlier in the week, Hollywood was met with sad news when James Gandolfini (a.k.a. Tony Soprano) has passed away while on vacation. At Holsten’s Ice Cream shop in New Jersey, where the iconic final scene of the show was filmed, the shop’s owner made a really interesting tribute to the late actor. (Slashfilm)

In anticipation for the release of Monsters University, which is a prequel to the 2001 hit Monsters Inc., College Humor imagines the meeting in which John Goodman and Billy Crystal meets their younger monster counterparts. Apparently Billy Crystal can be quite scary. (College Humor)

Now we all heard about the production issues behind World War Z. Now that the reviews are flowing in, apparently whatever disaster it might have been has turned into a halfway decent movie. There is a huge SPOILER ALERT but here is what Damon Lindelof and Drew Goddard changed from the initial version of the film. (Slashfilm)

Rumour alert for possible plot details in Jurassic Park 4. Keep in mind that it’s going through some rewrites at the moment, so even if this is true, it won’t hold up for the final product. (JoBlo)

The Rock’s reps may have already denied it, but at least the sound of having Dwayne Johnson facing Ah-nold in Terminator 5 is awfully interesting. (Examiner)

Marvel has revealed the information themselves this week as Robert Downey Jr. has signed a deal to reprise his role as Iron Man in the next two Avengers flicks. (Marvel)

Finding the line between love and friendship in the film Drinking Buddies featuring Jake Johnson and Olivia Wilde. (Apple)

James Wan talks about Fast and Furious 7, confirms the next villain and updates us all on the progress of the film. (Collider)

Who cares about the box office take! It will definitely be a hit, so Sony has booked release dates for Spidey 3 and 4. (Collider)

Bummer. Mary-Jane Watson played by Shailene Woodley has been cut from The Amazing Spider-Man 2. With this news in mind, the role may be recast for the third film in the franchise. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Speaking of Shailene Woodley, you can see her and Miles Teller strike up a critically acclaimed romance for the Sundance hit The Spectacular Now. (MTV)

Dan Harmon is running Community again, and he had some choice words for the studio. (The Hollywood Report)

It might be a little while before you can see Despicable Me 2 in North America (Aussie folks can catch it in theatres this week). Anyway, to build up some anticipation for silly minion action, here is a test reel comparing the regular minion and an evil minion. Wait, I thought the minions were evil to begin with. Let’s go with yellow minion vs. purple minion.

Catch General Zod in action as a DLC in Injustice: Gods Among Us.

The World’s End trilogy trailer. One more Cornetto before the end!

Trailer for The Lego Movie. This is probably the only time you’ll see Batman and Superman together on the big screen until DC and Warner Brothers get their act together.

Remember the song that Jamie Foxx and Channing Tatum did on Jimmy Kimmel Live after the Super Bowl? Well there is now a music video for it with plenty of celebrity guest stars.
