Fifty Shades of Grey Casting Update: Armie Hammer Says Nope

The Fifty Shades of Grey cast is still one of the most-buzzed-about topics in Hollywood, and many actors who have been rumored for roles have spoken up about the book's adaptation.

The Fifty Shades of Grey cast is still one of the most-buzzed-about topics in Hollywood, and many actors who have been rumored for roles have spoken up about the book's adaptation. Armie Hammer is the latest to address the sexy novel, but if you were rooting for him to play Christian, then you might be disappointed by his latest comments. Find out what he said, along with sound bites from other stars like Ryan Gosling, Emma Watson, and Mila Kunis, who have addressed the possibility of starring in the movie.

Ron Burgundy's Mustache Is Front and Center in the Anchorman 2 Poster

Ron Burgundy is back in the building, and he's still kind of a big deal.

Ron Burgundy is back in the building, and he's still kind of a big deal. OK, so he won't officially be back until Anchorman 2 opens in theaters on Dec. 30, but for now, we're getting another look at his infamous 'stache. What do you think: will this be just the beginning in a series of mustache posters? How long will we have to wait until we get a Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) mustache poster?

Since we've gotten details about the New York-set sequel's many cameos and a couple of teasers, my excitement for the film has already ascended to pretty high levels. Hopefully this means the full trailer will be coming out soon!

Check out the new poster after the jump.

The Best and Worst Uses of Kanye West Songs in Movie Trailers

The fabulous trailer for Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street dropped this week and reminded us all exactly how great Kanye West's tracks can mesh with movie trailers.

The fabulous trailer for Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street dropped this week and reminded us all exactly how great Kanye West's tracks can mesh with movie trailers. Since 2005's Jarhead, Kanye's tracks have been populating trailers — for better or worse — and inspired by Kanye's latest trailer appearance, I'm looking at all his songs in previews. Watch along with each trailer, including three releases from this year alone!

The very first pictures of the set of the Veronica Mars movie have come in, and not only is Kristen Bell there, Jason Dohring (aka Veronica's perennial love interest, Logan Echolls) is with her! The film, which raised over $5.7 million worth of funding via a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign, will revolve around the nosy detective and her pals years after graduation. I can't wait to catch up with the characters, but I'll have to settle for pictures until the film's 2014 release! Click through to get the sneak peek.

A Who's Who Guide to Portlandia's Quirky Characters

Carrie Brownstein and Fred Armisen's offbeat comedy series, Portlandia, is a veritable cult hit, and last week, IFC renewed it for two more seasons. In case you've missed the first three seasons (the fourth won't start up until early 2014), take a look through our guide to Armisen and Brownstein's unique characters. The two leads play a lot of people, so these are just the recurring ones that will hopefully be popping up in the coming seasons as well.

Mad Men's 5 Maddest Moments: "The Quality of Mercy"

This week's Mad Men begins with a bang and ends in the fetal position.

This week's Mad Men begins with a bang and ends in the fetal position. With only the finale left to go, tensions are high between pretty much everyone at the ad agency. Don is saving/sabotaging his fellow workers, Peggy and Ted are caught in a precarious position, and most importantly, Pete is getting closer to identifying just who the heck Bob Benson is. Still, this episode left me scratching my head even more about why exactly he's at the company.

Meanwhile, Sally — likely suffering from PTSD after witnessing her father's indiscretion — has taken up an interest in boarding school. The initiation process turns out to be one part hazing, two parts cigarette-smoking, and a dash of Glenn! That's right, Glenn's back and he's kind of all grown up. It's totally weird, to be honest. Get my five maddest moments of "The Quality of Mercy" when you read more.

Pilot Scoop: Enlisted

Fox has snagged Geoff Stults (that guy you know from Ben & Kate, The Finder, and a ton of other guest roles) to play big brother to a couple of army underachievers (Parker Young and Chris Lowell) in the new Fall comedy, Enlisted.

Fox has snagged Geoff Stults (that guy you know from Ben & Kate, The Finder, and a ton of other guest roles) to play big brother to a couple of army underachievers (Parker Young and Chris Lowell) in the new Fall comedy, Enlisted. Filled with brotherly love (and hate), plus a little romance courtesy of a fellow sergeant (Angelique Cabral), the series checks a few sitcom stereotype boxes, but does the show's goofy premise work? Find out why we're partial to the new series, debuting as part of this Fall's new TV lineup.

  • What it's about: Pete (Stults) is an ace soldier, but his overconfidence on the battlefield gets him sent back to the States, and stationed at the same Florida military base are his two younger brothers. Randy (Young) can barely contain his excitement to see his oldest brother while Derrick (Lowell) can barely contain his eye rolls.
  • Where it works: Stults is solid, but it's Young and Lowell who are the standouts here. Suburgatory audiences know Young as lovable muscle-head Ryan Shay, and his character here is admittedly not much of a departure, but that doesn't make him any less hilarious. Lowell (aka Piz from Veronica Mars!) gets snarky, and his audible grumbles over his brother's return qualify him as Enlisted's curmudgeonly voice of reason.
  • Where it doesn't: As Pete attempts to get his bearings straight at his new home, he takes it upon himself to train a group of army misfits. They're a colorful group of characters, but the approach (much like in last season's doomed Go On) falls flat. I would much rather see a focus on the relationship between the siblings, rather than dragging in a handful of unnecessary quirky characters.
  • You might like this show if: You're obsessed with the movie Stripes.
  • When it's on: Fridays at 9 p.m. on Fox

Box Office: Man of Steel Breaks June Records

Looks like this Superman is, indeed, made of steel (and money).

Looks like this Superman is, indeed, made of steel (and money). Despite lukewarm reviews, Man of Steel earned $113.1 million and the biggest June box office opening of all time this weekend. Seth Rogen's apocalyptic comedy, This Is the End, came in second by a wide margin, with $20.5 million. Now You See Me stayed steady in third place with $10.3 million, Fast & Furious 6 earned $9.4 million, and last week's No. 1, The Purge, took in $8.2 million. And in its very limited release (just five theaters), The Bling Ring opened with $210,000.
