Paramount Pictures has revealed a new clip from their upcoming Paranormal Activity 4, opening in theaters at 9 p.m. tomorrow, October 18. The scene focuses on supernatural levitation and you can watch it in the player below, courtesy of iTunes Movie Trailers. You typecastin’ me?
Robert De Niro shot a scene under the Williamsburg Bridge in Brooklyn Tuesday looking very like the gun-toting tough he’s portrayed in “Taxi Driver,” “Goodfellas” and numerous other movies.
De Niro’s latest gangster flick, “Malavita,” tells the tale of — you guessed it — a mobster-turned-informant who is sent to Normandy, France, under the witness protection program.
The former wiseguy can’t abandon his old life, and ends up imposing his ways on his French town. The hijinks eventually attract the mafiosos he’d hoped to escape.
The film is directed by Luc Besson, the man behind “The Fifth Element” and “La Femme Nikita.”
It also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Michelle Pfeiffer, and is expected to hit theaters next year.
Skyfall has released another new clip, this time featuring Javier Bardem’s deliciously unhinged villain, Silva.
The scene shows Bond coming face to face with his blonde-haired nemesis, and even managing to catch him with a well-aimed bullet. However, it seems that Mr. Silva is wearing body armour.
What happens next is one of the more spectacular action beats, so if you want it to remain a surprise, we’d advise giving this one a miss. It is rather awesome though.
Check it out, below…
After the inscrutable menace of Le Chiffre, and the all-out tedium of Dominic Greene, Silva is a return to the traditional Bond villain, full of witty asides and superfluous soliloquising. Put simply, he’s brilliant.
Directed by Sam Mendes and co-starring Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes and Naomie Harris, Skyfall opens in the UK on 26 October 2012.

ComingSoon.net's ShockTillYouDrop.com visited the set of Fox Searchlight Pictures' Hitchcock and you can read their report by clicking here. The scene that was filmed in Los Angeles was the premiere of the original Psycho. In the opening scene of the “Ink Master” season two premiere, 16 tattoo artists gather outside a building door marked with the words “Morgue Entrance.”
Show host and judge Dave Navarro walks out, flanked by fellow judges Chris Núñez and Oliver Peck.
“Welcome to New York City,” says Navarro, “a mere 34 square miles on the map, but home to over 1,400 licensed tattoo artists, making it the unofficial tattoo capital of the world.”
The Jane’s Addiction guitarist then explains to contestants that for their first challenge, they’ll have to tattoo a snake and dagger. The catch — it has to be done on a corpse, because, “according to legend, some early tattoo artists would sneak into morgues to practice.”
The contestants freak out, but head inside. Seconds later in Tuesday’s 10 p.m. premiere on Spike, a sheet covering a “corpse” is peeled back. To the relief of the artists, turns out it’s just a silicon body.
While the body isn’t real, the morgue was.
“There were real bodies there, it was an actual morgue,” Navarro tells the Daily News. “Off camera, we were surrounded by dead bodies the whole time. And we, the three judges, actually went into one of the refrigeration compartments and hung out with some corpses for a while.”
Some of the contestants complained about the smell in there.
“They were complaining, but at the end of the day, that’s part of the apprenticeship,” Navarro, 45, explains. “Apprenticeships are challenging, and there are a wide range of tasks that need to be accomplished before someone can just go ahead and start charging for tattooing in a proper shop.”
“Ink Master” had the highest-rated first season ever for a Spike original series. More than 2.3 million viewers tuned in to the season finale in March.
While the other two judges own tattoo shops, Navarro, who has more tattoos than he can count, offers a different perspective.
“They’re professionals, so they’re coming from a very technical, artistic place when they’re critiquing,” Navarro says. “Whereas me, I’m a collector. I’m a client. So what I’m looking for is something that’s esthetically pleasing, which fits the body nicely — just something that I think would make me happy as a client.”
Navarro heads back out on tour with Jane’s Addiction later this month, and is working on his own music.
“That’s why ‘Ink Master’ is so fun for me, because my job on the show isn’t creative,” he says. “It’s just as mind-blowing for me to watch as a fan of tattooing as I would imagine a live musical performance would be for a fan of music.”

How you respond to “Pitch Perfect” will depend primarily on how you feel about its obvious inspirations: “Glee,” “Bring It On” and the food-poisoning scene from “Bridesmaids.”
Jason Moore’s debut comedy, which was loosely adapted by Kay Cannon from Mickey Rapkin’s nonfiction book, undermines itself with gratuitous gross-out gags and easy stereotypes. But overall, he’s orchestrated a good-natured mashup likely to hit all the right notes with its target audience.
Setting the tone from the start, Moore opens with a college a cappella contest, in which a competitor projectile-vomits all over the judges.
A year later, the humiliated singer, Aubrey (Anna Camp), is determined to redeem herself and her all-girl group, The Bellas. Despite constant goading from her school’s male team, she vows to return to finals and take the trophy. She and BFF Chloe (Brittany Snow) recruit a motley collection of freshmen, including the uber-confident Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson) and attitudinal hipster Beca (Anna Kendrick).
Beca, an aspiring D.J. whose crush (Skylar Astin) is on the rival team, is appalled by the old-fashioned tunes Aubrey chooses. She knows they’ll never make it to championships with songs like Ace of Base’s “The Sign.” But can she convince her teammates to enter the 21st century?
The movie itself could have used a little more spontaneous spirit and a little less manufactured sass. What it has going for it, though, is an amiably enthusiastic cast. Though closer to 30 than 20, Kendrick makes a charming lead, and she’s well paired with the likably geeky Astin. Producer Elizabeth Banks also turns up, as a slick commentator with a knack for outrageous assessments.
The performer everyone will walk away remembering, though, is Wilson. She had more to work with in “Bridesmaids,” but here she sells both clever riffs and dumb fat jokes with equal assurance. At the very least, this movie ought to ensure that her considerable comic talents will find an even bigger stage, and better material.
