The music video gives a look at lots of scenes from ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ and takes fans inside the famed Abbey Road during Florence Welch’s recording session.

On the day “Snow White and the Huntsman” was premiered in London, Florence and the Machine debuted a music video for “Breath of Life”, a song recorded for the movie. A number of scenes, featuring Kristen Stewart as Snow White, Chris Hemsworth as the Huntsman and Charlize Theron as Queen Ravenna, are flashed in between footage of Florence Welch’s studio session.

Featuring intense melodies with “big, clattering drums,” the song was recorded at the famed Abbey Road with a big number of choir members. Instead of looking up to the protagonist Snow White, Florence took inspiration from the Evil Queen. “The Queen is just this incredible character; so hungry for life but so dead inside. She’s sort of eternal, but inside there’s nothing. She’s kind of like charcoal or something,” she told MTV.

The lead singer was particularly fond of a scene where the Queen was “kind of picking out birds’ hearts and eating them.” The lead singer gushed, “[She has] this thirst for youth and for life, but for what kind of life? This darkness, but she’s so beautiful, so it’s this kind of juxtaposition between beauty and, ultimately, death.”

Gosling joins Josh Brolin to take down mafia boss Penn, who runs all the illegal businesses in 1949′s Los Angeles just after the World War II.

Warner Bros. Pictures finally reveals a very first trailer for Ruben Fleischer’s star-studded mob drama “Gangster Squad“. The vintage-themed promo is loaded with brutal action scenes involving the likes of Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Nick Nolte. Also seen in the trailer is Emma Stone, who is pursued to bed by Gosling.

Set in 1949′s Los Angeles, “Gangster Squad” follows Penn’s Mickey Cohen, who is a ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob. He runs the show in the town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and every wire bet placed west of Chicago.

Cohen runs the dirty businesses with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It’s enough to intimidate the bravest, street-hardened cop, except a secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O’Mara (Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen’s world apart.

Director Fleischer once discussed the basic premise of the based-on-true story movie. He told Entertainment Weekly, “It’s a good leaping -off point. We’ve taken some creative license but tried to stay true to the original story and characters as much as possible.”

The filmmaker explained the role of Gosling’s character in the movie as saying, “Ryan’s character also went to war, but when he came back, he was a little disillusioned. So he’s more on the fence, hanging out in nightclubs and hanging out with guys who might be gangsters.”

“He’s less clear on where he stands in terms of standing up against Mickey Cohen,” Fleischer continued. “But he finds himself in a love triangle with Cohen and Emma Stone‘s femme fatale character.”

“Gangster Squad” is also supported by Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Robert Patrick, Troy Garity and Michael Pena.

While the terrorist leader continues to spread terrors and creates damages in Gotham City, Wayne a.k.a Batman seems to be unprepared to defeat the supervillain.

After offering a day-long viral scavenger hunt campaign, Warner Bros. Pictures has finally unveiled the third and final trailer for “The Dark Knight Rises” in full. Boasting tons of new footage, the trailer offers a closer look at the chaos spread by Bane. At some points, the terrorist is featured exploding bridges and high-jacking an aircraft.

While Bane continues his brutal actions in Gotham City, Bruce Wayne a.k.a Batman is not in a good condition to fight back. Instead of picturing Wayne as a tough superhero, the trailer presents him more like a vulnerable man who is unprepared to face Bane’s massive attack.

Marking Christopher Nolan’s final chapter in his Caped Crusader trilogy, “The Dark Knight Rises” is set eight years after the events in “The Dark Knight”. Terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, as well as forcing Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes.

The highly anticipated movie will make its way out onto the U.S. cinemas this summer on July 20. Returning as Wayne a.k.a Batman is Christian Bale, while Tom Hardy stars as Bane. Also supporting the DC Comics film are Anne Hathaway, Marion Cotillard, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Not featuring any new footage, the promo video highlights that although the characters want to do the right thing, they can make a fatal mistake.

As summer is getting closer, MTV has promoted “Teen Wolf” season 2 that will air during the season. It does not have any footage from the upcoming chapter, but features the major characters standing still with the background of the woods.

Highlighting that the characters may make mistakes despite their intention to do the right thing, it also includes a voiceover to point out, “Everyone wants to be a hero… You hope you’ll have what it takes to save someone. But not everyone does. And you’ll never know until you’re tested. Because when a friend’s in trouble, you don’t think. You trust the instinct.”

“Teen Wolf” will return with all-new episodes this summer on MTV, but the exact premiere date is yet to be announced. Speaking of his character Scott McCall, Tyler Posey recently said, “Last year he was dealing with his unwanted powers, but now that it seems like there is no cure, he’s trying to deal with it more maturely, almost like a superhero…he feels like he’s responsible because he has these powers.”

His love life is also complicated since he’s dating Allison Argent, the daughter of werewolf hunters. Crystal Reed additionally spilled that her character “wants to protect Scott and kill everyone else,” which is going to be “a major, major conflict” on the second season.
