Academy-Award winners Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman & Kevin Kline are front-and-center in the new official poster from CBS Films’ upcoming comedy LAST VEGAS – opening in theaters on Friday, November 1st, 2013.

Starring four legends like you’ve never seen them before, LAST VEGAS tells the story of Billy, Paddy, Archie and Sam (played by Academy-Award winners Michael Douglas, Robert De Niro, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Kline), best friends since childhood. When Billy, the group’s sworn bachelor, finally proposes to his thirty-something (of course) girlfriend, the four head to Las Vegas with a plan to stop acting their age and relive their glory days.

However, upon arriving, the four quickly realize that the decades have transformed Sin City and tested their friendship in ways they never imagined. The Rat Pack may have once played the Sands and Cirque du Soleil may now rule the Strip, but it’s these four who are taking over Vegas.

LAST VEGAS will open in theaters on Friday, November 1st, 2013.

THE LAST EXORCISM PART II New Poster And Trailer

Ashley Bell reprises her lead role in CBS Films’ thriller, THE LAST EXORCISM PART II, which Ed Gass-Donnelly directed from a script he wrote with Damien Chazelle. The 2010 original was released by Lionsgate and grossed a devilish $68 million worldwide on a $1.8 million budget to become one of the most lucrative genre films in a long time. Eli Roth produced the film along with Marc Abraham, Thomas A. Bliss and Eric Newman of Strike Entertainment.

Continuing where the first film left off, Nell Sweetzer (Bell) is found alone and terrified in the woods. Back in the relative safety of civilization, Nell realizes that she can’t remember entire portions of the previous months only that she is the last surviving member of her family. Just as Nell begins the difficult process of starting a new life, the evil force that once possessed her is back with other, unimaginably horrific plans that mean her last exorcism was just the beginning.

Check out the trailer below.

Looks like the team behind this new film has delivered a bigger, scarier sequel.

THE LAST EXORCISM PART II will be in theaters March 1, 2013.

Jason Statham Of THE MECHANIC Enters The World Of Warcraft Cataclysm

According to the film’s Tweet, “#JasonStatham isn’t just a #badass in #TheMechanic, he’s also one in World of Warcraft. He’s no noob.” The yummy CRANK and TRANSPORTER star a noob? Not on my watch.

Synopsis:

Arthur Bishop (Jason Statham) is a ‘mechanic’ – an elite assassin with a strict code and unique talent for cleanly eliminating targets. It’s a job that requires professional perfection and total detachment, and Bishop is the best in the business. But when his mentor and close friend Harry (Donald Sutherland) is murdered, Bishop is anything but detached. His next assignment is self-imposed – he wants those responsible dead.

His mission grows complicated when Harry’s son Steve (Ben Foster) approaches him with the same vengeful goal and a determination to learn Bishop’s trade. Bishop has always acted alone but he can’t turn his back on Harry’s son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.

From CBS Films, THE MECHANIC will be in theaters January 28, 2011. Visit the film’s official site here, on Facebook here and on Twitter here.
