Yard sales are harmless. Normally, anyway. When you're at a yard sale that just so happens to include an antique wooden box containing a horrible evil spirit, that's when you're in trouble. And that kind of trouble is most certainly brewing for young Em, seen below in your very first look at the new horror movie "Possession." The above photo, part of our Summer Movie Preview week, is our first and best look yet at "Possession," the August-debuting thriller from producer Sam Raimi and stars Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick. Based on true...

When you think F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jay-Z totally comes to mind, right? We didn't think so. But that's just one of the things that makes Baz Lurhmann an interesting director. When MTV News caught up with Isla Fischer on the set of "Now You See Me," she told us working on the film was an "incredible luxury" and shared insight into the unique way Lurhmann helped the actors feel comfortable on set. [ video unavailable on this device ] "I had a great time. I loved it," the Scottish actress told us about her "Gatsby" experience....

You know that when it's a movie starring Mark Wahlberg, you can expect a few things. He's probably going to be a tough guy, probably out of Boston. There might be a crime involved and some revenge to be had. What you never expect is the dancing ninja. Check out this deleted scene from the upcoming Blu-ray release of "Contraband" above. In "Contraband," Wahlberg plays a former smuggler, who must get back into the business to rescue his brother-in-law after he runs into trouble.

Photo: (Getty Images) OMG. Earth Day is practically here! Sunday, 4/22 if you didn't know. We here at Act HQ thought about what to do for the big day (It's like our wedding day. Kinda.) We wanted to do something a little bit different than telling you about eco-friendly products or why you should hug a tree or whatever. So we decided to holla at some of our fav MTV Stars (Tyler Posey! Colton Haynes! Ashley Rickards! Dan Savage! And more!) and ask them a super important question, "What would you miss the most if you had no electricity?" Why is...

Last week we reported about the unlikely fan friendship between the metalheads of Mastodon and singer-songwriter Feist. The Mastodon crew were smitten with Feist after seeing her perform just two songs on UK talk show "Later with Jools Holland" before they took the stage themselves, and after she heard they were planning to cover one of her songs, she decided to do the same with one of theirs in honor of Record Store Day, which goes down tomorrow (April 21). Each gave the other complete creative freedom with their respective covers. Feist chose...

Though Bryan Fuller is busy prepping his Hannibal Lecter TV series, he definitely hasn't given up on his dream to return "Star Trek" to the small screen. The "Pushing Daisies" creator recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the long-planned project, and he confirmed that he and director/producer Bryan Singer have talked about the idea for a series. It turns out that the show still could get lift off, but not until J.J. Abrams releases his upcoming "Star Trek" sequel. "Bryan and I are big fans of 'Trek' and have discussed a take on what...

Did that "Magic Mike" trailer leave you wondering: where's Alex Pettyfer? It did for us. It also left us with an answer: who cares? As long as that R-rating really does stand for "rock hard abs," the lady folks at MTV News are going to be very happy about this movie, Pettyfer be damned. MTV's Christina Garibaldi and Amy Wilkinson teamed up with NextMovie's Brooke Tarnoff to dissect the new trailer for "Magic Mike," the Channing Tatum-starring stripper movie from filmmaker Steven Soderbergh. See what they had to say about the new spot in the video above. ...

With the news that Francis Lawrence is going to be directing "Catching Fire" still hot off the presses, Lionsgate has also announced that "The Hunger Games" is going to be rereleased in IMAX for one week's time. To date, "Hunger Games" has brought in almost $341 million domestic, and $13.2 million of that is thanks to its IMAX sales. Lionsgate and IMAX will return the film to theaters on April 27, and it will play through May 3. "It's wonderful that so many fans have expressed interest in seeing 'The Hunger Games' in the immersive IMAX format,...

Get More: Music News There's been a bit of shizz slinging of late regarding Madonna's new album, her world tour and whether we should be calling either a success. After earning positive reviews and debuting strongly at #1, MDNA, experienced a sharp sales decline in its second week and a majority of her US tour dates have yet to sell out. Those two facts taken together sent a few music writers down the rabbit hole, with some going so far as to say Live Nation, which signed Madonna to a $120 million 360 deal with in 2007, was concerned over...

Jason Bourne's got nothing on Aaron Cross. Or at least that's what Universal wants us to think in the new international trailer for "The Bourne Legacy." Though it's less plot-driven than the previously released teaser, this new look at the film is plenty action packed, and that's really all we're looking for. What this trailer shows us more than anything is that leading man Jeremy Renner was the right person to replace Matt Damon in this franchise. He has a great screen presence, and also looks pretty darn intense during his action scenes....

Today is the Day of Silence, a student-led national event that brings attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying and harassment in schools. Students from middle school to college take a vow of silence to encourage administrators and their classmates to address the problem of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in their schools. A 2009 survey by GLSEN found that nearly 9 out of 10 LGBT students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school and more than 30 percent have missed at least a day of school in the past month out of fear for...

It's been long confirmed that Jason Segel will not be starring in or writing the next Muppets movie, but a recent update from the actor dashed even the small hope of a cameo. As the man largely responsible for bringing the Muppets back into the spotlight, the loss of Segel puts a big question mark on the sequel. But fear not, Muppet fans. We spoke with the first film's co-writer and the director of "Five-Year Engagement," Nicholas Stoller, about the progress he's made on the second film's script and how he sees Segel factoring into the making of the sequel. As Segel's frequent collaborator,...

Photo: (Getty Images) Adam Lambert would take away everyone's guns and give out pizza, while Lady Gaga would grant equal rights to LGBT Americans. If fun. were President, they'd have a National Jam Day. And if Mac Miller or A$AP Rocky were President... well, let's just say it's pretty fitting with today being 4/20 (April 20) and all. Word on the street is that "4-20" is police code for an incident dealing with marijuana -- but that's false. Some sort of, I dunno, folk tale claims that 4:20pm was the time a group of Californian students would...
