Reilly ) sick and tired of his repetitive, unrewarding gig as the villain of 8-bit arcade platform game Fix-It Felix Jr. For years he’s been destroying the same building day after day after day, with the tenants inside uniformly refusing to spend time with him socially even outside of working hours, preferring the company of the hero of the game, Fix-It Felix Jr. ( Jack McBrayer ). So Ralph decides to jump from his game to others, including first-person shooter Hero’s Duty and racing game Sugar Ru...

Disney may have found the final piece of its triumvirate of witches for its Oz movie: Michelle Williams . Williams has been offered the role of Glinda, the good witch, in Oz: The Great and Powerful , Disney’s prequel-ish take on The Wizard of Oz tale that stars James Franco and Mila Kunis and is being directed by Sam Raimi. Kunis is on board as Theadora, a witch who falls for Franco. Rachel Weisz is in talk to play sister Evanora, the evil witch who wants to rule the land and tries to seduce Theadora to the dark side; Weisz’s dealmaking is complicated due to her having an offer to star opposite Jeremy Renner in Universal’s new Bourne movie, and shooting schedules would overlap. If a deal makes for Williams, she would play a powerful witch who teams up with Franco to defeat Evanora (and maybe Theadora, but we’re not revealing spoilers). Oz centers on Franco as a snake oil salesman who finds himself dealing with real magic when his balloon carries him into a fabled land and he ...

Oscar-winning actress Rachel Weisz is in negotiations to play the villainess in Oz: The Great and Powerful , Disney’s prequel-ish take on The Wizard of Oz tale that stars James Franco and Mila Kunis and is being directed by Sam Raimi . The movie stars Franco as Oz, a snake oil salesman who finds himself dealing with real magic when his balloon carries him into a fabled land and he runs into genuine witches. Weisz would play Evanora, a powerful, evil witch who intends to rule the land. She is the sister of Theadora ( Kunis ) and tries to seduce her to the dark side. The role would be a change of pace for Weisz, who — despite an eclectic resume ranging from her Oscar-winning work in The Constant Gardener to Wong Kar Wai’s My Blueberry Nights to The Mummy — has never worked on a project of this scale and never tackled what is sure to be a splashy role.

MTV spoke with  Bruce Boxleitner and the question on everyone’s mind: will there be a third “Tron” film? “I think 'Tron: Legacy' left it open-ended,” Boxleitner said in an interview with MTV News. “You see two beautiful people riding off into the sunrise, and Quora seeing sunrise for the first time. That leaves it open to imagination and speculation." Boxleitner has played two characters in the “Tron” series, Alan Bradley and Tron… three if you count the brainwashed Rinzler from “Tron: Legacy” who is revealed to be Tron himself. Although he left it to someone else to suit up for the physical acrobatics shown on screen, it’s Boxleitner who voiced the character "We also saw Cillian Murphy and the boardroom at ENCOM when Sam pulled the stunt in the beginning," he continued. "All these things have been left hanging out there.” “ Rinzler is the attack dog for Clu – and through the movie the character made a journey back to redemption,” the actor points o...

There are no light bikes or flying discs, but there's still plenty fot the Tron: Legacy faithful to enjoy in this new short film, Tron: The Next Day , which has just surfaced online. Culled from the forthcoming DVD and Blu-Ray , it's a gap-bridging exercise filling in what happened at ENCOM in the years between the original film and Legacy, and charting the activities of the underground Flynn Lives movement. Watch the clip after the Jump... There are spoilers ahoy for those who haven't caught Legacy yet, so beware, but let's just say the feature makes good use of cast members old and new, and that the eventual reveal of the mysterious Zakattack's true identity is fun.
