Watch Matthew McConaughey Explore the Galaxy in This 'Interstellar' Trailer

Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and David Gyasi in InterstellarIf you're a diehard spoiler freak, the latest "Interstellar" trailer is for you. Okay, it doesn't really give a whole lot away -- it's still, like, totally cosmic and mysterious -- but if you want to go in blind, well, this isn't the way to do it.



Once again, we've got the dusty-looking Earth, which will be pretty much toast in another generation or so, at least according to MIchael Caine's character. Then we've got Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway in a space ship headed out into... who knows where. They don't know where! It's somewhere freaky and rocky and snowy looking, and is that a robot walking next to them on some unearthly landscape? Will they manage to finish their mission before everyone on Earth dies? Probably the craziest reveal is what looks like a crash landing and some enormous waves. Like, the gnarliest waves you could imagine.



"Interstellar" opens across the nation on November 7th, but it will play in 70mm IMAX film, 70mm film and 35mm film formats in selected theaters on Wednesday, November 5th. Paramount and Google Play have partnered up on this cool interactive website, which offers you the chance to buy tickets now and play the "Interstellar Google Space Hunt" game, which will reveal even more tidbits about this sci-fi flick.



Are you going to see "Interstellar" early, in one of its many formats, or wait until the regular old digital version comes out on November 7th?

These Four Exclusive 'Mortdecai' Posters Feature Must-See Mustaches

The last time writer/director David Koepp and international man of mystery Johnny Depp teamed up, it was for the kooky, woefully under-appreciated Stephen King adaptation "Secret Window," a movie that ended with Depp, his teeth entwined with metallic braces, chomping down on some corn-on-the-cob. For their newest collaboration, January's "Mortdecai," the duo have decided to put the silliness out there, front and center, with Depp twirling a ridiculous (even by Brooklyn hipster standards) bit of facial hair and employing a French accent that makes Peter Sellers' voice in the "Pink Panther" movies seem like the pinnacle of grounded realism. And with our quartet of exclusive posters, everyone is getting in on the very goofy act.



In "Mortdecai," Johnny Depp plays the title character, a suave, slightly detached art dealer and, as the corresponding hashtag would suggest, part time rogue, who gets embroiled in a plot that involves terrorists, the British secret service, and Russian gangsters. (Hey, these things happen.) The film is based on a trio of books by Kyril Bonfiglioli, and, should this first film take off, plans are already in place for the franchise to continue. Hopefully with the appropriate, corresponding facial hair.



The four character posters we're debuting today showcase the movie's stellar supporting cast, including Ewan McGregor as the man "investigating Mortdecai," Olivia Munn as the woman "seducing Mortdecai," Gwyneth Paltrow as the unfortunate woman "married to Mortdecai," and, of course, Depp, as just plain old Mortdecai. And, for the record, no, Paltrow and Munn having mustaches doesn't make them any less attractive. What that says about us can be explored at a later date. (Paul Bettany, Michael Gambon, Jeff Goldblum, and Aubrey Plaza also co-star but sadly don't have their own hilarious posters... yet.)



We absolutely love the trailer; it feels like a serious international caper but with a total buffoon at its center. Honestly -- what could be better than that? Check out the trailer and posters below and be sure to visit the movie's official website, twitter page, Facebook and YouTube page. Because you know what's better than a million mustaches? A billion mustaches.



"Mortdecai" twirls into theaters on January 23rd.

Don't Call Them Freaks: This New Teaser for 'AHS: Freak Show' Rocks

American Horror Story: Freak Show

The next season of "American Horror Story" is so close we can nearly taste it.





This is the first eyeful we've gotten of the denizens of Jupiter, FL., and it is a doozy. It starts with a snooty rich guy whom we presume to be Dandy Mott (Finn Wittrock) demanding, "Where are the freaks? I'm getting bored!" As the show starts, he whispers, "Freaks!" in a very creepy, toothy way while his mother Gloria (Frances Conroy) looks on in disgust. We have a feeling he's gonna get his very soon.



Sarah Paulson is already blowing our minds as conjoined twins Dot and Bette Tattler. She told EW, "It's not just a visual effect, it's not just the other head effect. This is a combination of 9,000 things." The trailer is shown from Dot and Bette's point of view as they leave home and find their way into the makeshift sideshow family led by Elsa Mars (Jessica Lange). They meet Ethel Darling (Kathy Bates), the bearded lady, who gives them the lowdown on what life's like in the outside world "for freaks like us." We also get a better look at Evan Peters as Jimmy Darling, the greaser-looking leader of the pack, son of Ethel Darling, and possibly the "lobster boy"; performer Mat Fraser as Paul the Illustrated Seal; "Asylum" alum Naomi Grossman as Pepper; and most terrifyingly, John Carroll Lynch as Twisty the Clown.



Of course, it's not just creepy clowns and mysterious secrets threatening the sideshow folk. The local Jupiter residents are not too hospitable to Elsa's crew, and it looks like violence is a-brewin'.



Check out the trailer, and be sure to tune in on Wednesday, October 8 at 10 P.M. EST. And prepare yourself for Jessica Lange covering Lana Del Ray in some upcoming episode!

Take a Peek at the Plague in This Trailer for 'Gods and Kings'

DF-01354 - Moses (Christian Bale, right) confronts Ramses (Joel Edgerton).

Sibling rivalry is taken to new heights in this trailer for Ridley Scott's "Exodus: Gods and Kings." Ramses (Joel Edgerton) and Moses (Christian Bale) were raised together, but once Moses gets the hot tip that he's actually supposed to lead the Israelites out of slavery, well, these bros come to blows.



This trailer gives us a taste of just how large and in charge Scott's vision is for this Old Testament tale. We get a peek at Moses's big moment on Mount Sinai, as well as at least nine of the 10 plagues of Egypt represented here. Catch 'em all!



Sigourney Weaver, Ben Kingsley, Aaron Paul, John Turturro, María Valverde, and Indira Varma ("Game of Thrones") also appear in "Exodus," alongside Edgerton and Bale.



"Exodus: Gods and Kings" comes out on December 12, 2014, just in time to watch with your family this holiday season!

'Twilight' Gets New Life with Facebook Short Film Contest

KRISTEN STEWART and ROBERT PATTINSON star in THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN - PART 1Ph: Andrew Cooper� 2011 Summit Entertainment, LLC. All rights reserved.

Gird your loins, and get out your sparkles 'cause there's more "Twilight" coming our way - via Facebook!



If you're an aspiring female filmmaker with a taste for "Twilight," listen up. "The Storytellers - New Creative Voices of The 'Twilight' Saga" is an upcoming competition cooked up by "Twilight" distributor Lionsgate and author Stephenie Meyer that will award five female filmmakers the funds to make short films based on "Twilight" characters. Plus, the big winner will receive cold, hard cash and what's being nebulously referred to as "career opportunities." The organization Women in Film is also a partner in this venture, which is designed to boost the visibility of female filmmakers in Hollywood.



It's also a clever way to rejuvenate the "Twilight" franchise in a whole new way using social media. Whether or not this will lead to more "Twilight" flicks in the future is a mystery, but Lionsgate's Michael Burns teased, "This is the just the beginning - a template, if you will... You can probably guess what might be coming next."



The panelists for this contest are a pretty great bunch of Hollywood bigwigs that includes "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart, author Stephenie Meyer, Oscar-winners Kate Winslet and Octavia Spencer, "Modern Family" co-star Julie Bowen, the OG "Twilight" director Catherine Hardwicke, "Frozen" co-director Jennifer Lee, and producer Cathy Schulman ("The Illusionist," "Crash," "Sidewalks of New York").



Which "Twilight" characters are ripe for the picking? Who would you want to see in a short film?

Best of Late Night TV: Tyler Perry's Drone Race and Jimmy Kimmel's Pot Quiz (VIDEO)



If you're like us and value your sleep, you probably nodded off into your Ambien dreamland before the party started on post-prime time TV. Don't worry; we've got you covered. Here's the best of what happened last night on late night.



Let's get things started with Tyler Perry, who showed up to "The Tonight Show" for a jumping drone race with Jimmy Fallon. Not only did they have to steer their drones all over the stage -- they had to jump over Frank Knuckles from The Roots!


Tyler Perry's "Tonight Show" appearance was followed by Nathan Lane on "Late Night with Seth Meyers," who took the opportunity to complain about his Broadway co-star Rupert Grint's hoard of fans. His method of clearing them out? Screaming "VOLDEMORT."


Over on "Late Show with David Letterman," Maggie Q stopped by and talked about the time she rescued her dog from a deranged deer who tried to murder him. Or, more specifically, she jumped on the deer and was almost impaled by his horns.


Martin Short paid a visit to "Jimmy Kimmel Live," where he immediately stole a fleet of happy penguins and started a penguin fighting ring. The winner? Hilarity.


Jimmy also interviewed a bunch of marijuana enthusiasts about current events (aka a Pop Pot Quiz), and shockingly they had no idea who The Pope was, but were very well versed in the art of making an apple bong!



Finally, on "Conan" (best for last!), fellow redhead Jesse Tyler Ferguson shared footage of the pitch he threw at a Dodger's game. And we use the word "threw" loosely....
