Which True Blood Hunk Is Now a Superhero?

Ryan Kwanten, Griff the Invisible Indomina Group

This True Blood hunk looks much better shirtless and sweating in Bon Temps, but no matter.

We even like him when he's all covered up in a makeshift black-and-yellow vinyl superhero suit.

In a far departure from his television alter ego...

READ: True Blood's Ryan Kwanten Doesn't Strive to Be a Sex Symbol, But...

Ryan Kwanten stars in Griff the Invisible (in theaters today), a quirky Australian film about a nerdy office worker who transforms himself into a crimefighting vigilante.

The superhero suit is as uncomfortable as it looks.

"It took a good three hours and a good three wardrobe ladies to get into," the Aussie actor recently told me. "And believe it or not, it took longer getting off because they kind of had to sew me in and then they had to sew me back out. There was no time for potty breaks."

So what happened when nature did come calling?

"You hold on and you hope that your constipated face doesn't come off too bad on camera," he Kwanten cracked. "It was fun to be standing on the streets of a city in a superhero outfit. People sort of leaving bars and giving me looks up and down thinking, 'What the hell is this guy doing?'"

Funny enough, Kwanten's True Blood star status didn't help him land the role with director Leon Ford.

"Leon said, 'Well, all I've really seen of you is True Blood, and the characters are unbelievably different,'" Kwanten remembered. "So I ended up putting myself on tape like four or five times. Eventually I convinced him, through perseverance more than anything else, that I was the guy."

Now, if we could just get him cast in Steven Soderbergh's male stripper flick.

Steven Soderbergh "Isn't Afraid" to Pack Magic Mike With Full Frontal!

Channing Tatum, Matthew Bomer, Alex Pettyfer, Joe Manganiello INFdaily.com; USA; INFdaily.com; HBO

Well this is shaping up to be our favorite movie...ever.

We were already excited to see Alex Pettyfer and Channing Tatum shake what their mamas gave 'em in Steven Soderbergh's stripper flick, Magic Mike. And that was before we heard that über-hot Matthews—White Collar's Bomer and McConaughey—and True Blooder Joe Manganiello were set to strip as well.

So with all this man meat, will we get to see some of the goods?

RELATED: Demi Moore Keen to Play Alex Pettyfer's Seductress in Channing Tatum Stripper Flick!

We hear yes!

"Stephen isn't afraid of going there," a source thisclose to the picture tells us when we asked about the possibility of full frontal. "I'm sure he will do it."

Did ya hear that? That was the sound of every gal and gay guy's jaw dropping.

None of the dudes have ever showed their ding-a-lings on the big screen before, but none have been particularly shy about displayin' their bangin' bods in the past, either.

We're counting McConaughey out, as he's set to play an ex-exotic dancer who only owns the club (plus, we haven't heard any mention of bongo drums in the script). Which leaves (for now) Pettyfer, Tatum, Bomer and Manganiello.

So which stud will go Full Monty first?

Our money's on Pettyfer. He's got the most to prove, after all.

Of course, Joe M. is awfully proud of that magnificently sculpted bod, right? Could it be him?

Heck, we'll be happy with some cute toosh shots of the rest, though.

And we know it's been said before, but if there ever was a time for 3-D, it's now!

Movie Review: Anne Hathaway Learns It Takes Years to Fall in Love in One Day

Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, One Day Giles Keyte, Focus Feature

Review in a Hurry: Two college grads (Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess) begin a friendship that spans 20 years before it blossoms into something more. Despite the familiar When Harry Met Sally, friends-first, opposites-attract contrivances, this romance is intermittently loveable, thanks to a glam cast and witty script.

MORE: Anne Hathaway is a pretty kitty

The Bigger Picture: Emma and Dexter couldn't be more different. So it's evident from their almost-intimate first encounter and their vow to just be buds that they're destined to fall in love. It's the oldest rom-com trick in the book—or in this case, David Nicholls' bestselling novel. But this bittersweet adaptation makes their two decades of foreplay (mostly) worth the wait.

Emma is a working-class girl with writerly aspirations, but a cynical lack of confidence. Dexter is a wealthy, cocksure cad with a taste for women and booze. Somehow Em and Dex click, at least as BFFs.

Starting on the night of their college graduation, July 15, 1988, Day checks in with Em and Dex every subsequent July 15th. Their lives are usually out of synch: While she works a crap job and suffers a passionless relationship, he's a TV star and married man. Then when Em finds love and success as an author in Paris, London-living Dex sinks his family and career. Eventually, kismet kicks in as these crazy, stupid lovers realize what we've known since scene one.

Perhaps the same-time-next-year device worked better in the book, but here it's unnecessarily gimmicky and forces the film to account for each year, instead of conflating events. Plus, the onscreen treatment of dates, though playful at first, gets precious and distracting.

Hathaway, with her doe eyes and shaky British accent, develops a warm rapport with charmer Sturgess. Their easy chemistry makes it credible that these characters would keep circling back to each other, despite the ups and downs and near-misses. And their snappy banter prevents key moments from getting soaked in sap and sentimentality.

Though far from perfection, this is still one fine Day.

The 180—a Second Opinion: Can we please have a moratorium on scenes featuring a new dad trying to quiet/entertain a crying baby? It's not endearing—it's as grating as the toddler's tantrum.

Breaking Dawn Photo Bonanza: Peep More Pics of the Honeymoon!

Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Breaking Dawn Part 1 Andrew Cooper, Summit Entertainment

Didn't get your Breaking Dawn fix ogling the just-released poster this morning?

Well, look no further, ‘cause we've got a handful (and then some) of new pics from the impending vampy flick. And of course, the most delish shots feature Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson celebrating their onscreen honeymoon in sexy Brazilian style:

RELATED: First Look: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Poster Revealed!

We heart the photos of Bella and Edward boating, bathing and whatnot way south of the border, but keep your eyes peeled for the first glimpse of the newlywed's demonic baby bump. Can't you already just imagine the li'l babe eating her way through mama B's stomach?

So sexy. Or not?

Oh ya, and there's a cutesy picture of them playing chess, too.

Hopefully, the board games will take up, like, one second of the big-screen biz so that there's plenty of time left over for them to get busy.

Now go drool over the pics of R.Pattz and K.Stew (and Taylor Lautner too, of course!), ‘cause that's what we'll spend the rest of the afternoon doing!

Katie Holmes and Colin Farrell Do Horror Movies, So Why Not Other Big Stars?

Colin Farrell, FRIGHT NIGHT, Katie Holmes, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK Dreamworks, Miramax

Colin Farrell is doing Fright Night, and Katie Holmes stars in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, but why aren't there more A-list actors in horror movies?
—Ashleigh G., via the inbox

This answer involves one part math (but it's math with fun symbols), one part psychology, and a bit of unnamed celebrity gossip.

Shall we begin?

YEEPS: Know what else is scary? Kate Middleton's eyeliner

First, the math.

Let's look at some of the biggest horror franchises of the past few decades: Nightmare on Elm Street, zombie this, vampire that, The Ring, and so forth.

In most of those films, the star is the monster, not the person who kills it. In other words, in Halloween, Jason > The Person Who Escapes in the End. In Dawn of the Dead, Zombie Horde > The Folks Who Keep Their Brains Intact.

For a preening A-list star, there isn't necessarily a ton of value in that sort of gig. Why compete with a marauding monster when you can star in a rom-com or spy thriller all by yourself?

Another factor: The horror audience.

Unlike, say, Reese Witherspoon fans, who go to movies to see Reese Witherspoon, horror fans attend theaters to see scary stuff, not a particular person.

"The person who usually survives at the end of a horror movie is The Girl," notes Scott Mitchell Rosenberg, CEO of Platinum Studios. (Rosenberg wrote the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens and produced the recent film Dylan Dog: Dead of Night, now out on DVD and VOD.)

"And according to lot of studios who have done the number, who that female lead is doesn't seem to matter. It's a horrible truth, but people either want to go see a horror movie or not."

Again, not exactly the kind of research that attracts A-list talent, is it?

That's why, in film parlance, horror films are often seen as "step up" vehicles for hot, rising young actors, Rosenberg explains. (By way of example: Mary Elizabeth Winstead, who played Scott Pilgrim's girlfriend, is set to star in a third remake of The Thing. You haven't heard of her, but you will.

Ditto with Jessica Chastain, who starred opposite Brad Pitt in Tree of Life. She's just signed on to do the next ghost flick by Guillermo del Toro's production team.)

Finally, there's the typical horror story.

I recently spoke with one rising actress who said she'd loved to do more horror if "the material is there." Message between the lines: Horror scripts tend to suck, and not just vampire ones.

Rosenberg corroborates that theory.

When a horror movie does attract A-level actors, the talent "usually consider the movies to be more intelligent as opposed to popcorn"—perhaps a period horror piece, or an indie, for example.

Zombies in Shakespearean London, anyone?

NOW! Listen to my podcast. Do it. DO IT!

Movie Review: Conan the Barbarian Is Super Cheesy Fun, but Doesn't Know It

Jason Momoa, Conan the Barbarian Simon Varsano/Lionsgate

Review in a Hurry: A gleeful throwback to the not-even-hugely-popular-in-its-day subgenre of '80s R-rated fantasy, the kind of movie a 13 year-old boy may lap up now and be embarrassed about years later. Not that there's anything wrong with that—it may be ridiculous as all get-out, but the fact that the exaggeration is so irony free is charming in its own way.

READ THIS, TOO! Conan hottie to Arnold: "Leave me alone!"

The Bigger Picture: Does anybody remember how, in the lead up to Transformers: Dark of the Moon, Michael Bay made a big deal about how 3-D requires longer shots so that the eye can perceive it properly, and therefore his editing would be less hyper? Yeah, Conan the Barbarian director Marcus Nispel never got that memo. So while it's possible that there are kids out there with short enough attention spans to follow the action sequences herein, it's highly unlikely that the 3-D effects in them will be observed—let alone appreciated—by the naked eye.

Determined to offend anyone who would dare take things too seriously, Nispel's new take on Robert E. Howard's hulking hero begins with fetal Conan in the womb. Prematurely born as the result of a sword slash, the kid is cut out of his mom by Ron Perlman and the ZZ Top pelt that adorns his face. The mother names her son with her last breath, as dad raises his animatronic baby boy to the heavens and screams. Perhaps somebody found this emotionally stirring at one point or another, but don't worry if it elicits laughter—you may still have fun with what's to come.

Years later, the bad guy from Avatar and his daughter, all done up like Babylon 5's Londo Mollari, come a-calling, seeking a piece of bone that will finish the assemblage of a magic crown. In the process, Conan's dad is killed and the youngster is emotionally and physically scarred. Years go by, and our barbarian grows up to be Jason Momoa, Londo Mollari-like girl becomes Rose McGowan, and Stephen Lang's Khalar Zym stays the same age somehow. Maybe it's the bone crown.

From here on out, it's a fairly simple tale of revenge, complicated only by the fact that the villains need a particular female sacrifice to complete their task, in this case Rachel Nichols' Tamara. Since the world these characters inhabit is largely computer-generated and mostly uninhabited, the stakes seem pretty low–does anyone really care if some warlord resurrects his dead wife? Based on what we actually see, these cities all have a population of like 20 people anyway. It's not like any villain could do much with that.

But of course it doesn't matter.

What matters is that Conan fights guys made of sand, Conan fights a tentacle-monster, Conan cuts a guy's nose off. It should be noted that Conan is also stunningly sexist, consistently treating Tamara like a slave and an object, for which she instantly falls in love with him.

Momoa, who in early stills looked like a male model playing dress-up, is surprisingly good. He may not get any lines as memorable to Arnold Schwarzenegger's answer to what is good in life, but he makes a solid action hero in more ways than one.

So did director Nispel intend an inherent camp factor? Given his filmography, it seems unlikely. But then it wouldn't be half as charming if the film were actually winking at itself; let's not forget Arnold did that in an ill-advised sequel (and spin-off, if you count Red Sonja) the first time around.

The original Barbarian is still classic, but Nispel has at least made the second-most-fun Conan movie to date.

The 180—a Second Opinion: Khalar Zym travels over desert terrain in a giant boat carried on the backs of elephants. There's a Werner Herzog movie in there somewhere, and imagining it is sometimes more fun than watching what's actually onscreen.

First Look: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Poster Revealed!

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Poster Summit Entertainment

The time has come, Twihards.

It's been months since that betrays-nothing teaser poster was revealed, but today your patience has finally paid off, as the poster for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn–Part 1 was finally unveiled.

Let's take a closer look…

MORE: Bella's wedding dress can be yours!

Granted, it's not totally dissimilar to the Breaking Dawn banner that was revealed at Comic-Con last month, but instead of the group getting Photoshopped and smushed together, we get them in all their glory.

Here's what we see: newlywed lovebirds Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart—er, we mean Edward and Bella (incidentally, appearing to wear those honeymoon outfits we spotted earlier this year), along with Jacob are standing proud in the foreground (this franchise knows its moneymakers, after all), with the entire family Cullen all present and accounted for behind them.

MORE: Is The Hunger Games set even more secretive than Twilight?

Another detail that's hard to miss? Everyone but Taylor Lautner's character is happily paired off. That's OK, Taylor. Off course, he doesn't exactly seem to be hurting for companionship when he's not posing on movie posters, so we'll look past that one.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn–Part 1 (as if we even have to tell you this) is due out Nov. 18.

But tell us, has the moody and tone-setting poster unveiling gotten you even more excited for the film's release?

Movie Review: Spy Kids: All the Time in the World Will Probably Give You a Headache

Joel McHale, Jessica Alba, Mason Cook, Rowan Blanchard, Spy Kids 4 All the Time in the World Dimension Films

Review in a Hurry: When a demented clock maker threatens to snatch up all the time left on the planet, a new duo of spy kids arrive to save the day. First they have to become spies, but that won't take long once they discover their new stepmom (Jessica Alba) is a super spy and their dog is a talking robot (Ricky Gervais).

Fans (and their parents) of writer/director Robert Rodriguez's over-the-top candy-colored series know what's in store—bad acting, terrible effects, a barely there?plot. But even the tangiest of confections lose their flavor eventually. For Spy Kids that "time" has arrived...

FUN FACT: Spy Kids' Joel McHale hosts a little show we call The Soup

The Bigger Picture: What started a decade ago as a fun side project for Rodriguez—and a surprise hit—has become tired (as most sequels do) and rather obvious.

There's still plenty of plenty diaper bombs and other brightly-colored goop but the timing feels off. Much of Spy Kids 4 feels like underdeveloped riffs on the series. Even kids will have a hard time paying attention.

So there's the Timekeeper's plan to speed up time: first in nanoseconds then entire days. Essentially, this adds up to characters looking in astonishment as their timepieces speed up. It's as exciting as it sounds.

The identity of the Timekeeper is a mystery, since he sports a cheap plastic clock mask. The main baddie is his accomplice Tick Tok, who's a villain less by action and more because he wears big goggles and speaks with an annoying chipmunk-type voice.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Piven is the boss of OSS, the spy headquarters, delivering nearly all his lines like they're punchlines to non-jokes. Can that get things worse? A scene with a dozen computer-generated Pivens is a big yes.

All the while the new kids spend most of their time not actually doing that much. They bicker, play practical jokes (more goop) and fumble into becoming the titular spy kids. This amounts to much camera mugging and plenty of eye-rolling.

The original Kids were never great thespians but they owned their excitement to becoming a spy! These new kids, well sure they want to play with gloves that can make you go SMASH! and own backpack that has nearly everything in it but they don't seem very compelled to ya know, save the universe. And if they can't be bothered. Why should we?

Incidentally, the original spy kids do show up. Alexa Vega and Daryl Sabara are older now but they're still directed like younger actors: all mugging, all the time.

Alba does her usual job of kicking butt, but here she brings a one year old along for missions. The baby is cute but it's a bit unsettling to see the tyke shoved into moments of frenetic action involving weapons and aerial stunts.

As is usual, pretty much all the name stars are wasted in their roles. Were you really expecting much here from Joel McHale, Gervais and Piven? We didn't think so.

The 180—a Second Opinion: Among many bad performances, Jessica Alba still manages to be so likable—and she looks great in a black cat suit!

Movie Review: Fright Night the Perfect Amount of Vampires, Gore and Colin Farrell

Fright Night DreamWorks

Review in a Hurry: Teen D-bag Charlie Brewster (Anton Yelchin) fears his nerdy ex-friend Ed (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) will reveal his own former nerd status. But there's a much nastier problem awaiting him than being a social outcast...Jerry the vampire has just moved in right next door.

The original Fright was the Scream of its age—filled with very clever quips about horror movies and quite bit of blood. The new one? Half the humor, twice the gore. Still, casting Colin Farrell as the fanged one is a big win.

PHOTOS: Check out the hottest vamps not from Twilight!

The Bigger Picture: The best gag Fright Night 2.0 has is while real vampires are nowhere to be found, jerky dudes seem to be everywhere. They might be dressed in black, play sports or even be geeks, but they sure do whine a lot. The script by Buffy alum Marti Noxon addresses this problem with a tasty solution: Enough with these self-absorbed teens, bring us an immortal to "take care" of these dolts!

Great idea! Let the mayhem begin!

Problem: The Charlie Brewster of this new version, our supposed hero who is tasked with vanquishing a bloodsucker and whom we're supposed to support, is the biggest jerkwad of the bunch. Even when Ed is begging for his help to find out what happened to another old friend (Jerry's first snack), Charlie blows him off. Yup, Charlie is a total douche. Yelchin (Star Trek) can be very charming but he fumbles here, not quite sure just how much of a tool he's supposed to be. Does he act this way because he's afraid he'll lose his hot girlfriend (Imogen Poots)? When he finally transforms into the hero, do we care? Nope.

The rest of the story, in a Vegas 'burb where it's always dusk, features Charlie facing off against Jerry. As played by Farrell, Jerry is smart as hell. Charlie is not so smart. Really, who sneaks into a vampire's house? They have super hearing!

The supporting cast clicks. Toni Collette (United States of Tara) plays Charlie's mom. Poots (Jane Eyre) gets a few slayer-esque moments. Mintz-Plasse has a nice turn once he's shuffled off his mortal coil.

Fright-wise, there are decent thrills, which the 3-D-filmed set pieces use to full effect. From a tract home to a tacky Luxor penthouse there's a great sense of danger at every turn.

The 180—a Second Opinion: While director Craig Gillespie (Lars and the Real Girl) mounts the thrills effectively, it's odd that his character-centric résumé (he also produced Collette's Tara) would produce such lackluster chemistry with his younger castmembers. Maybe he too had a hard time relating to such a shallow dude like Charlie. We can't blame him.

Will New Mad Max Movie Ever Get Made?

It's time to get Mad...again.

It sounds like cameras are finally going to start rolling on Mad Max: Fury Road, the much-anticipated reboot of Mel Gibson's classic postapocalyptic franchise.

Zo? Kravitz, who has long been set to join Charlize Theron, Tom Hardy, Nicholas Hoult and Riley Keough for the pic, tells me...

PHOTOS: Totally New Releases

They have a tentative start time. "It's supposed to go in the new year, in February," she told me the other day while promoting her new indie flick, Beware the Gonzo. "They've made the costumes, the vehicles...You know, they're halfway there. They just can't seem to make it to, 'Action!'"

Director George Miller has had to delay the Australia-based shoot for more than a year now after bad weather forced him to change locations.

PHOTOS: Check out Marc & Brett's red carpet pics

One project Kravitz is definitely not doing—voicing a character in an upcoming animated Spider-Man television series. "I don't know why it says that on my IMDb," she said. "I don't even know what it is."

But she certainly knows another comic-book-based flick: X-Men: First Class, the latest installment of the superhero franchise in which she played Angel Salvadore. Kravitz is ready to make another. "Let's hope so," she said when I asked about plans for a sequel. "It was really fun. Everyone was there to make a really great film, to do the work and to bring some depth to the story. We became all so incredibly close."

Now we want to hear from you. Excited for another Mad Max movie? How about more X-Men? Sound off below.

Any film buff who's seen the original (yep, this is a remake) knows that Skars plays the villain to James Marsden's reluctant—but hunky—hero, and gets himself into some pretty messy sitches.

Like blood and guts sitches. Lots of blood, actually.

But for any fangbanger who's missin' their blondie vamp's bad side, this film might just be for you. And A.Skars' character works on a construction crew, which is très Jason Stackhouse-chic, if you ask us.

If the gory subject matter sounds too icky for you, skip this flick, spare your stomach and just peep his abs (and arms, too) in these pics.

And then you don't have to suffer through any onscreen scenes with him and former GF Kate Boresworth Bosworth either!

Win-win, right?

Kim Kardashian Gets Pampered, Mobbed by Paparazzi

No surprise here, but Kim Kardashian spent one of her last hours as a single woman pampering herself.

The future Mrs. Kris Humphries sent paparazzi into a frenzy earlier today when...

READ: Bow Tie Boys: Hollywood Hunks Get Collared

She got a manicure and pedicure at her favorite nail salon, Beverly Hills Nail Salon. She was mobbed by overeager shutterbugs as she made her way to her big white Rolls-Royce. (FYI: Earlier in the day, she tweeted that she had a workout session with her personal trainer, Gunnar Peterson.)

No word on what her manicure will be like when she says, "I do," but wouldn't it be cool if she was sporting images of Humphries on her nails.

We're serious.

Nikki Reed recently showed off her American Idol fiancé's face at this month's Teen Choice Awards. "It was really very romantic and sweet," says Minx's Kimmie Kyees, the nail stylist responsible for creating the Twilight star's look.

"Beyoncé has pretty much worn Minx non-stop for the last four years. When she sang at the inauguration she had Obama in gold letters and silver Minx on her hands."

The process is as simple as sending in a picture, making a screen print of it and painting it on. It takes just as much time as a regular manicure and costs around $50.

Do it, Kim!

Anne Hathaway: "Obsessed" With Kate Middleton, Also Loves...JWoww?!

What do Kate Middleton and JWoww have in common?

Anne Hathaway!

No, the Dark Knight Rises actress doesn't know them personally, but...

READ: Why Is Anne Hathaway Hiding Her Boyfriend?

She admires them from afar.

"Right now, I'm obsessed with Kate Middleton. Obsessed," Hathaway, who stars in the about-to-be released One Day opposite Jim Sturgess, says in the new issue of Interview magazine. "I loved the Royal Wedding. I was so cynical going into it and, pseudo-political about the whole thing, but as soon as I saw her I was utterly charmed. I'm just completely enchanted by Kate and William. With everything she's doing right now, I say, 'Yay, Kate.' "

Hathaway admits in the interview (conducted by E! funnylady Chelsea Handler, by the way) that she's a fan of Jersey Shore. "I thought the first season of the show was awesome because it was authentic, but I don't watch it anymore because now they know that's a camera there," said Hathaway, who grew up in the Garden State.

"The Situation is totally self-aware," she said. "He's referring to himself as The Situation. In the episode I saw, his car got towed, and he was like, 'We're got a situation here, and The Situation is the situation.'"

Perhaps she'll tune into JWoww and Snooki's upcoming reality show spinoff? "I think JWoww is amazing," Hathaway said. "I love JWoww. She's intense. See, JWoww to me is proper Jersey because she will scrap for a friend."

There's so much more in the Interview piece. Some other nuggets include Hathaway's belief that she's dated some guys who are gay but haven't admitted it (let the guessing begin), she almost bought a cat so she can observe it to prepare for her role as Catwoman and she'd like to get married one day, but no one has ever proposed to her.

We suspect the gay boyfriend thing may have something to do with that.

But there's still plenty of classic Butler moments to go around. You just know an ex-biker isn't going to take a lying-down approach when it comes to getting his way, so all those Sudanese militants who are out to stop his orphanage idea had better prepare themselves for Butler in action.

Is It Ever a Good Idea to Trespass on Nicolas Cage?

Money can't buy happiness, but it can lead to some pretty terrifying situations.

Such is the case for Nicole Kidman and Nicolas Cage, who, in this new trailer for their upcoming thriller, Trespass, play a weathly married couple at the mercy of some greedy criminals that have invaded their lavish home. While, at first, it comes across as your typical give-us-everything-you've-got type of flick, you soon get the sense there's more going on here than meets the eye.

At least, that better be the case. More so, for Cage's sake, than ours. Seriously. Coming on the heels of such stinkers as Season of the Witch and Drive Angry, this is one guy who could use something better than just your standard, run-of-the-mill movie.

Guess time will tell when Tresspass, directed by Joel Schumacher, hits theaters on Oct. 14.

Chris Evans: He Still Has That Hot Captain America Bod, But...

 Chris Evans, Puncture Millennium Entertainment

Chris Evans' body is smokin' hot even when he's playing a strung-out drug addict.

Need proof? Just check him out in the new trailer for his latest flick, Puncture...

Evans stars in the indie as a lawyer fighting a medical supply company over the invention of a new syringe. Here's the twist—not only is this a real-life story, but said lawyer is also a drug addict.

The opening sequence of the movie's new trailer shows a shirtless Evans in a smoked-filled dingy motel room practicing his courtroom skills. He's talking fast and pacing back and forth. He's wearing white pants, black suspenders and tie around his neck. You can see a big skull tattoo on his right bicep.

Evans is also seen popping pills, curled up on a bathroom floor next to a toilet, wheeling and dealing in courtrooms and boardrooms and staring down U.S. senators. A freeze frame of Evans is shown with the words, "Not Your Normal Lawyer."

The trailer leaves no doubt about that. Puncture injects itself into theaters Sept. 23.

Source: Magic Mike Director Steven Soderbergh Didn't Want to Deal With Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan knows her way around a stripper pole.

We're talking about her role in I Know Who Killed Me, of course (what'd you think we were talking about?), but she almost landed a part in another movie where people shake it for dollar bills—only this time she wouldn't have been on stage.

We're talking about Magic Mike, and sources tell us LiLo was thisclose to landing the part.

Instead...

RELATED: Alex Pettyfer Strips Taylor Lautner of Stripper Role!

It went to model-turned-newbie actress Riley Keough (Elvis's granddaughter and Lisa Marie Presley's daughter, FYI).

"Riley was cast as the girl who dates Alex Pettyfer's character in the movie," sources close to the production tell us exclusively. "The character is trouble with a capital T, which Lindsay would have been perfect for."

So why did director Steven Soderbergh pass up LiLo for the role?

"He didn't want to deal with all that," our source spills. "Nobody wanted to go there."

Bummer. Looks like Linds is still looking for work. Anyone? Anyone?

On to sexier matters at hands, let's discuss the boys!

We're told one of the soon-to-be-strippin' gents is particularly into the role: Matthew McConaughey, duh.

MMcC plays a former dancer turned club owner who, we're told, says such career-inspiring things as, "I want you to go back and f—k that mirror like you mean it!" to his strutting employees.

Isn't that what they say on Dancing With the Stars all the time?

You can also expect abs galore.

"Matthew's working out like a fiend," we're promised. "All the guys are. None of them wants to be caught next to somebody with better abs."

Well, we like to hear that! Especially since some of ‘em will be baring it all.

Megan Fox Gets Knocked Up

Who wants to see Megan Fox all Knocked Up?

Well, now you can.

No, she's not pregnant, but...

READ: Did Jennifer Aniston Do Drugs With Paul Rudd?

Fox was spotted earlier this week in Los Angeles filming This Is Forty, Judd Apatow's Knocked Up sequel that revolves around Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann's characters from the hit comedy.

Fox has a costarring role, but details about her character remain a mystery. During the outdoor shoot, she looked healthy and not as thin as she has been in the past. She wore what looked like brown leather lace-up shorts, a simple black tank top and brown leather and zipper heels.

"Megan is hilarious," Rudd told me last night at the Nylon Guys and WeSC party at Gjelina restaurant in Venice. "I don't know if people don't realize that, but she is really really funny."

Fox's comedic chops aside, I'd be remiss not to tell you what Rudd had to say when I asked him about wearing a long hair wig for his latest movie, Our Idiot Brother (out Aug. 26).

"I used to have long hair when I was 18 until about 22," he said. "It wasn't a hippie thing. I was hoping to look like Michael Hutchence from INXS. I pretty much didn't cut my hair for four years."
