Ever since the 2007 release of "Atonement," we've been dying to see Keira Knightley and director Joe Wright work together again.

As part of our Fall Movie Preview Week, we can present to you an exclusive new look at Knightley and Wright's adaptation of "Anna Karenina." Considering the way in which Leo Tolstoy's eponymous novel plays out, we doubt main characters Anna Karenina...

With Fall Movie Preview Week winding to a close, we'd like to introduce you to one of the quirkier movies on our list: "This Must Be The Place."

Another day, another reason to be excited about "Django Unchained." Today's reason comes courtesy of The Playlist, who has posted a brand new image from Quentin Tarantino's latest film.

Watch the clip and see two behind-the-scenes...

By Bryant Gilmore One of the perks of our Fall Movie Preview here at MTV News is that we get our hands on exclusive movie pics that we get to share with you, and this time it's from "Hotel Transylvania"!

It sort makes us wonder what kind of supernatural hijinks they get into at the Trans. "Hotel Transylvania," produced...

In case you needed any more proof that Liam Neeson is going to be a badass in "Taken 2," here are a whole batch of new pictures from the upcoming sequel to the 2008 hit thriller. The images come courtesy of Kinopoisk (via Collider) and give us an idea of what we can expect from Neeson's character Bryan Mills in the movie.
