Enough teaser posters and title treatments, here is your first look at an actual trailer — and our shot by shot analysis — for the sixth “Harry Potter” film! I don’t care if you’re a muggle or a house elf, this is the one to watch. November 21st can’t come soon enough, can it?!?
So what did you think? Are you as excited as ever for the sixth Potter flick? What can’t you wait to see brought to the big screen this time?
With questions resolved over who the latest eye candy would be, the final remaining piece of the puzzle concerned not who would be in the new James Bond movie, but who’d be singing over it. Now we have the answer.
The “Bond” filmmakers have revealed that R&B sensation Alicia Keys is teaming with White Stripes frontman Jack White on the theme song to the forthcoming “Quantum of Solace.” Titled “Another Way To Die,” the track will feature Keyes along with White, who pulls triple-duty as writer, producer and drummer on the collaboration that will mark the first duet in Bond history, according to the studio. The pair takes the mantle from Audioslave’s Chris Cornell, who performed music duties for 2006’s “Casino Royale.”
“Quantum of Solace” hits theaters on November 7.
So how does this pairing fit into the annals of “Bond” theme songs? Tell us below!

In spite of recently announcing he was going back to school, James Franco has joined the cast of Mark Ruffalo's directorial debut Sympathy for Delicious.
Franco, who will appear in the latest Judd Apatow flick, Pineapple Express, in theaters next week, told MTV News that “Mark Ruffalo is gonna direct his first movie and he wants me to play a singer in a rock band."
According to James, Delicious is a DJ and "This DJ character was written for [Mark's] friend who’s actually paraplegic in real life, Chris Thornton, and he’s this DJ that has kind of a gift. He joins up with my band and then starts getting more attention than me, the lead singer. So I start getting upset about that.”
Sounds interesting. Ruffalo has been trying to get his movie made since he announced it in 2004 while doing press for 13 Going on 30 but with the announcement of Franco joining the project, it may be closer to reality.

“If the financing ever fell in place right,” Raimi explained and then further taunting us, “But first, I’d have to work on the script with my brother [Ivan Raimi]. And that’s something I’m hoping to find the time to do.”
