Never Say Never Poster
Paramount

Justin Bieber is 18. Go on, freak out. We'll wait.

The once-floppy-haired pop star has only just reached the age of majority today, but he's already been everywhere. Opening "The Daily Show." Making a surprise cameo on the Oscars.

Last year, the internet phenom-turned-ubiquitous pop star even took over movie theaters with the origin story/concert doc "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never."

To celebrate his big day, we decided to put Bieber even more places -- specifically, in posters for various Hollywood favorites, because… well, why not?

Credit: NextMovie ]]> We've once again reinvented 10 summer blockbusters as smaller, less explosion-heavy films. After all, it's not such a huge leap to see "Fast & Furious 6" as a twee road trip movie about a non-traditional family or "Man of Steel" as the ultimate tale of an outsider wandering the Earth in search of identity and purpose. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> It's hard to picture beanpoles like Anne Hathaway, James Franco, Robert Pattinson, Angelina Jolie and Will Smith, scrawny fellas like Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Michael Cera and an endearingly overweight dude like Zach Galifianakis suddenly becoming bodybuilder-big, isn't it? So let us do the picturing for you. Get beefcake!

Credit: NextMovie]]> You know what? Aubrey Plaza, star of "Safety Not Guaranteed" and "The To Do List," should take over of Hollywood by remaking every movie ever made. Well, at least five, anyway. You've got to start somewhere. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Ultimately, just think about how much money these productions would save on catering. Baby food's a lot less expensive than a three-course spread (with an alternate option for the vegetarians), after all. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie ]]> With a filmography as eclectic as his, it may be hard to figure out what Steven Soderbergh movie is right for you. We've conjured a handy-dandy flowchart that may help you find that perfect Soderbergh fit. Get a closer look.

Credit: NextMovie]]> "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" had us nostalgic for our younger years, which had us thinking about our old "G.I. Joe" action figure collection, which had us imagining ... well, what if our old toys came to life, "Indian in the Cupboard" style, and starred in the movie? It'd be the first movie with swivel-arm battle grip, that's what.

Credit: NextMovie ]]> We've come up with five films that, for one reason or another, we can 99.99% rest assured that we'll never see in 3-D. And thank goodness for that. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie ]]> "The Wizard of Oz" isn't the only classic film that's ever begged for an origin story. Here's how "Gone With the Wind," "Casablanca" and more might have looked in earlier incarnations. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie ]]> You knew this was coming, right? So get on with it!

Credit: NextMovie ]]> In honor of Alien's (James Franco) trading of boring ol' pearly whites for a tricked-out metal grin, we reimagined a few other movie characters that might benefit from a set of grillz as well. We actually wouldn't have been surprised to see any of these people in any of the many "Spring Breakers" party scenes. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie ]]> Over the course of his nearly 40 years in movies, Tom Cruise has taken on a wide variety of formidable enemies, whether they be made of flesh and blood or something else. We've created an infographic that illustrates just how much fightin' Tom has done over the years — and who (or what) has been on the receiving end of his furious wrath. Get a closer look.

Credit: NextMovie]]> It's fun to imagine what a movie might have been like if it had starred the actors who were originally supposed to ... well, star in it. Final casting usually ends up working out for the best, but there's nothing wrong with a little cinematic game of "What If?" Here are some visual aids in picturing what would've made for a very, very different Oscar season from 2012-2013. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> The Sundance Kid may not be a kid any more, but he shows no signs of slowing down as he prepares to make his Marvel debut in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier." Here's a look at Robert Redford throughout the ages, from his young and handsome years to his, well, old and handsome years. Get a closer look.

Credit: NextMovie ]]> We guess it's swell and all that Johnny Knoxville is starring in "The Last Stand" but we can't help but wonder what it would be like if someone else had been chosen to "Stand" alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger for his big comeback movie. A few other someone elses, actually. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> For "Warm Bodies," the undead spin on "Romeo and Juliet," the official taglines are "He's still dead but he's getting warmer" and "Cold body. Warm heart." Those are swell and all, but allow us to offer a few alternate choices that might really bring in an audience. See below and consider the movie sold. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> After 1983's "Return of the Jedi," the fans wanted more, but it was not for another decade and a half that Lucas would think of giving the people another taste. Or was it? NextMovie has exclusively "uncovered" these five long-lost posters for "Star Wars" spin-offs that never saw the light of day. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We're here to make two worlds - "Twilight" and the Garbage Pail Kids - collide ... into a sticky, gooey mess. See them all.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Cruise's height has always been a hot topic of conversation. Which is particularly amusing because we don't recall anyone mentioning anything about Robert Downey Jr. or Javier Bardem's stature. Yet, they too stand 5-foot-7. You're floored? You had no idea? We know. So we've created a Hollywood Height Chart to help you out.

Credit: NextMovie]]> After watching "Wreck-It Ralph," we'd love to walk in the pixelated footsteps of Donnie Darko, get stuck in a loop on "Groundhog Day" and rule the blocky beaches of Miami with Tony Montana. See them all.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Hey, don't blame us. We're just embracing the eventual inevitable. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Let's face it, inside every loud, attention-grabbing, big-budget action movie, there's also a sensitive indie just wanting to get out. Right? That's how we like to think of it, anyway. We've put a spin on 10 summer blockbusters to picture them as smaller, less explosion-heavy films instead. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie

]]> Sequels tend to be awful more than they tend to be good, and Christopher Nolan's "Dark Knight" trilogy could've easily gone down that dark path if the wrong movie executives had been sitting in the wrong desks. Don't believe us? Look at some of the disasters we may have just narrowly avoided. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> When "Here Comes the Boom" and "3, 2, 1... Frankie Go Boom" both came out the same weekend, we realized something rather critical: more movies should have boom in their titles. So, with that in mind, we decided to prove it and came up with nine movies made better with boom. See them all.

Credit: NextMovie]]> "The Hunger Games" is a beloved book and movie featuring an ensemble cast fighting to survive a post-apocalyptic world. "The Simpsons" is a beloved TV show featuring an ensemble cast fighting to survive ... err, Springfield. "The Hunger Games" and "The Simpsons"? They're great together! We decided to depict various "Hunger Games" characters as part of the "Simpsons" cast, because, well, why not? See them all!

Credit: NextMovie

]]> As a beauty with some brawn in "Snow White and the Huntsman," Kristen Stewart's got the "damsel not in distress" thing in the bag. What other fairy tale characters could she turn into kickass heroines? Goldilocks fighting off werebears? Jacqueline climbing the beanstalk? We had some ideas for 8 more dusty fairy tales that could use a good Kristen Stewart reboot to the head. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie

]]> We're not sure who's going to win the 2012 presidential election, but you know who we would definitely vote for? Yoda. And The Dude. And after "The Avengers," Hulk would most definitely get our endorsement. So we decided to mock up campaign posters for some of movie favorites. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> The movie "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," gives us a Lincoln we've never read about in history books. All those other presidents must be kind of jealous of Honest Abe right about now, don't you think? So we're casting even more of our nation's leaders as action hero-types, striking down more than just bad legislation. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Dolph Lundgren + Dolphins = Maybe the most adorable poster ever. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> With Disney purchasing LucasFilm and announcing plans to release an additional trilogy to the "Star Wars" franchise, we decided to get a little speculative. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Is there anything the Oscar winner can't do? Clearly the answer is "no." Here are the next few biopics we think she should tackle. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Forget the all-female riff on "The Expendables" that's apparently now in development — it's the porn star version we really want to see! Well, maybe "see" is too strong a word ... it would be amusing to know that it at least exists, right? Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> The real star of "Skyfall" is Javier Bardem's bleached blond hair. Behold: So vanilla-colored. So unfashionably-styled. So makes us want to see Bardem in a variety of other amazing hairstyles. See them all.

Credit: NextMovie / MGM]]> Who needs an animated Santa, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy when you have Tim Allen, Anna Faris and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> We couldn't help but imagine what a more true-to-life (yet still star-studded) version of "Seven Psychopaths" would look like. One with a lot more, you know, crazy. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> "South Park"'s cutout animation may be simple, but Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny have become some of the most indelible characters in cartoon history. So, naturally, we've always wondered how "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker would have applied their signature style to some of our favorite movie icons. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Really, what differences are there between the Avengers and the classic monsters of yore? Special powers — check. Fancy costumes — double check. Read more about it.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Cats: They're such divas. Adorable, adorable little divas. They rule our world, why not the cinematic one? We obliged our feline friends by reimagining seven movies -- with the aid and inspiration of our Twitter followers -- starring cats instead of humans. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> After declaring the Oscars "total bulls**t," we found photographic evidence that Joaquin Phoenix hates, like, everything. See them all.

Credit: NextMovie]]> It's our pleasure to introduce you to Kitty Purry, a multi-talented feline whose fandom knows no bounds. You might say that Kitty Purry's road to superstardom was a bit less rocky than that of her human counterpart, Katy Perry. Sure, Kitty didn't have a hit single that received as much airplay as, say, "I Kissed a Girl," but at least there was no short-lived marriage to Russell Brand (or is that Russell Terrier Brand?). Check out the full post here.

Credit: NextMovie]]> When you're heading to a vacation retreat featured in the movies, there's one thing you just absolutely must pack: a body bag. Inspired by "The Cabin in the Woods," we've got listings for some of Hollywood's favorite -- and deadliest -- vacation destinations. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie

]]> As fans of the "What XYZ thinks I do" meme rockin' the interwebs, we wondered why no one had yet tackled various types of movie fans. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Mmmm, themed ice cream. It's even more delicious than regular ice cream. But where are all the movie flavors, Ben and Jerry? Here are 10 flavors from 2011 movies we could see flying off freezer shelves. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> why not just put these three love-torn characters in ... every romantic movie ever made? See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Texting. It's everywhere and our favorite movie characters are no exception, obviously. It's 2012, how did you think they were getting s**t done? They're texting each other, and we have the proof. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We've recast all nine 2012 Academy Awards Best Picture nominees with dogs in the starring roles. We dare say, some of them look even more interesting than the originals. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> The Muppets can do more than just get laughs -- in their latest movie, they do inspirational drama (the story is set against their comeback attempt), they do heists (they plot to kidnap Jack Black), they do romance (um, hello, Kermit and Piggy). What's to stop them from moving into even edgier fare? See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Admit it. You've had relationships that turned into horror shows. The screaming, the crying, the panic, the knife-wielding ... In honor of Halloween, we reimagined six romantic comedies as outright horror movies. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We proudly present our own line of movie baseball cards, highlighting some of the baddest batters and hurlers from the big screen. Bubble gum not included.See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We imagined the sorts of ads some of our favorite movie babysitters might have posted if they were looking for work through the internet. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We've imagined an alternate universe in which Jar Jar Binks is not the most maligned CGI character in the history of cinema, but, as Lucas always intended, a true star. His very presence transforms these eight historic biopics into ... well, movies starring Jar Jar Binks. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> In honor of producer Joss Whedon's phenomenal new horror/fantasy/whatever movie "Cabin in the Woods" and our ridiculous sense of humor, please enjoy this exclusive poster for the smash hit... "Kevins in the Woods." Check out the full post here.

]]> We imagine what seven other big movie franchises would like if they created by the Mouse House. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Harry, Ron, Hermione and the gang take a turn for the musical and star in their very own, classic rock album covers. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Sharks really can give a bad movie some bite.See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Superheroes need loving, too, you know. Of course, not every super-love story pans out, so what happens when these guys don't sync perfectly with their first ladies (or guys)? They go online like the rest of us... See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Feast your eyes on our re-imagining of "Conan the Barbarian" starring the true Conan, one who might slay his enemies not with a sword, but with his quick tongue and ruthless coffee mug,See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Our favorite part of Easter has always been painting Easter eggs (well, and eating Peeps until we throw up). But this year, maybe it's time to get a little more ... interesting with your artwork. We present eight movie-inspired Easter eggs that have just a little bit more edge than your standard variety stripes and polka dots. See them all!

]]> During our exclusive interview for "Piranha 3DD," David Hasselhoff kept dropping hints about a yet-to-be-announced remake he's hoping to star in: the 1939 classic, "Gone With the Wind." Perhaps The Hoff is on to something. It's been 73 years – maybe it is time for a "Gone With the Wind" remake. Inspired, we took a shot at what such a film, starring Hasselhoff and his dream Scarlett O'Hara Rachel Weisz, might look like. Check out the full post here.

Credit: NextMovie]]> Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie, Robert Pattinson and more re-imagined as animated characters. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Everyone knows "The Lorax" as a funny, furry little mustachioed fellow (he speaks for the trees!). Well, we got it into our heads that some actors might look better -- okay, well, different -- with the Lorax's trademark eyebrows and mustache. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson officially were not meant to have each others' faces. See them all!

And check out 7 more from "Breaking Dawn - Part 2."

Credit: NextMovie]]> As gridiron groupies everywhere spend (company?) hours studying the stats, fretting over keepers and ranking players by position, we decided to draft our own dream team of football studs from flicks. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> You know what Charlie Sheen hasn't done in a long, long time? Entertain us in movies. So while we continue to wait patiently for "Hot Shots! Part Trois" (or even the fraternal reunion "Men at Work 2: Still Working"), here are some movies that really could've used some Sheen. See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> We imagine what other literary adaptations the "Water for Elephants" and "Twilight" heartthrob could pull off, from "Catcher in the Rye" to Dante's "Inferno." See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> You've probably heard of RateMyProfessors.com, the site that lets college students evaluate teachers in a variety of categories, including hotness (because, let's face it, we all had/have that one professor we crushed on). We wondered what it would be like if some of our favorite movie profs were rated by their students... See them all!

Credit: NextMovie]]> Supposing hairy primates could take over the world a la "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," we wondered what our favorite movies would look like with a simian twist.

Credit: NextMovie]]> At the rate Hollywood is cranking out remakes, you know it's only a matter of time before our holiday favorites get fresh takes. Just so you're prepared, we've gone ahead and given visual representation to what these inevitable remakes might look like – and we're not gonna lie, we'd pay to see a few of these. See them all!

As we're all aware, Hollywood movies don't just play in U.S. theaters; they get released all over the world. And they make big bucks all over the world, too.

But obviously, the rest of the globe doesn't necessarily speak English, so the titles we're familiar with here get translated abroad. At times, something gets lost in translation. Hilariously so.

Can you guess which movie "If You Leave Me, I Delete You" is? How about "Santa Is a Pervert"? In honor of the Israeli title for "Puss in Boots," i.e., "Shrek's Cat" (ooh, Puss wouldn't like that one), we re-designed posters for 15 twisted title translations that made us laugh in multiple languages.

Let's cut right to the chase: You look up pictures of dogs online. Dogs wearing hats, dogs on skateboards, dogs with their legs crossed like people. Don't bother denying it.

We're throwing you a bone by collecting pics of the finest pooches on the planet, dressed as our favorite movie characters. So sit, stay... and enjoy.

Annette Charles, who rose to fame thanks to one of the most celebrated dance sequences in film history, has died according to a report on TMZ.

Though Charles has been retired from acting for over two decades, generations of fans continue to swoon over her "Grease" character Cha Cha DiGregorio; in one of the most famous moments from the beloved 1978 musical, Charles steps in as John Travolta's partner to win a nationally televised dance contest.

Charles, who reportedly was suffering from lung cancer, was 63.

Charles, who was born in Los Angeles, earned her first television role at the age of 20 and soon became a TV staple, appearing in numerous shows throughout the 1970's before jumping to the big screen for "Grease." Despite her success, however, Charles left the industry in the 80's in order to study social work and later became a university professor.

Still, film fans will always know her as Cha Cha. Here's a clip of her most famous sequence, the dance number from "Grease:"

• Well, you can't say they didn't try. Despite the "younger, hipper" choice of Oscar hosts, ratings were as bleah as critics' response to the show. The New York Times cites early reports that 37.6 million people tuned in -- about 4 million viewers fewer than last year.

• And the 83rd annual Academy Awards critics' consensus is... swing and a miss. The Hollywood Reporter gives us the lowdown on James and Anne's lackluster hosting skills -- as well as some of the night's most surprising and awe-inspiring upsets and performances.

• Despite hosting gaffes, there were plenty of enjoyable moments throughout the telecast. Entertainment Weekly counts down the 20 most hilarious, shocking and touching moments from this year's Oscar presentation.

• Bob Hope may be one of the funniest guys to host the Oscars, but there were plenty of comedic stars at this year's ceremony. People counts down the 83rd Academy Awards funniest quotes.

• Whether you loved or loathed their hosting style, you have to admit James Franco and Anne Hathaway make an outstanding Danny and Sandy. Our homies over at Moviefone give us this exclusive clip of the awards hosts singing out classic "Grease" melodies.

• The "Twilight", "Toy Story 3", "Social Network" and "Harry Potter" autotune montage was one of the most clever moments of last night's three-plus-hour ceremony. Buzzfeed takes it one step further, and autotunes Kirk Douglas' maddening but adorable speech.

• No offense, Shia. We think you're a great actor and all, but when it comes to fighting against intergalactic robots . . . you're kind of a wuss. Total Film counts down the 30 wimpiest action stars in movie history.

• Sex scenes between Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis? Sounds like something for everyone! E! Online gives us the scoop on Timberlake's business with Mila in the upcoming "Friends with Benefits."

• Our sincerest apologies to those Jobias Industries lovers and frozen banana eaters out there. David Cross tells MTV News that he's still uncertain whether the highly anticipated "Arrested Development" movie is still on the table.

James Franco and Anne Hathaway Do Grease
YouTube

James and Anne -- they're the ones that we want!

You know, of course, that James Franco and Anne Hathaway are hosting the Oscars this Sunday. But did you also know that they can channel John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John like nobody's business?

In this clip that Franco tweeted himself, he and Hathaway re-enact the iconic carnival scene from "Grease," during which "You're The One That I Want" (arguably the flick's best song) is performed.

Why did they make this video? Hey, when you're James Franco and Anne Hathaway, you can do whatever you want. And we'll watch.

Check out the video below. And check out the Oscars on Sunday, Feb. 27.

Remember the old days? Back when you could trust the ice cream man? Back when high school romance was just heavy petting in the back of dad's Chevy, not a couple uncomfortable laps around the roller rink followed by day-after allegations of rape seeded into a show tune?

College Humor's taken a swing at decoding the not so subtle lyrics to "Grease"'s "Summer Nights" with a parody video that mixes our time with a time lost and implicates Kenickie in some serious "Law & Order SVU" trouble.

It was, apparently, a summer no one will forget. Especially not poor Rizzo.

Hollywood Is Dead

Are you the kind of person who can't help but wonder what "The Empire Strikes Back" would be like if Han Solo became a zombie and tore Princess Leia's throat out with his teeth?  Have you always thought the "Toy Story" movies would be better if Buzz Lightyear and his friends were actually flesh-eating undead?

Well your dreams have become reality, so to speak, because artist Matt Busch has painstakingly re-imagined all your favorite movie posters as very twisted zombie epics, available at Hollywood Is Dead.

You can even purchase prints to hang on your walls so you can prove once and for all to  that "Grease" would have been better if John Travolta was missing most of the flesh on his face.  Most shocking is that Busch somehow manages to make "ET" even scarier, and that's no small feat.

Justin Bieber may be something of a fantasy to his millions of fans, but apparently, he has a fantasy of his own.

Beliebe it or not, pop's top moppet has visions of remaking "Grease," co-starring – who else? – Miley Cyrus.

Yes, you read that right: in an interview with British Sun, Bieber dropped a bombshell, detailing his desire to star in a remake of the classic John Travolta/Olivia Newton John ode to the 1950s alongside his fellow teen sensation.

"It would be a lot of fun," Bieber said. "It's been talked about a lot over the years but it would be awesome to play Danny." And Bieber's pick to play Sandy, Danny's true love? "I would go for Miley Cyrus without hesitation. She can sing, dance and act."

And that's not all, because Bieber has another icon of modern music in mind to play their high school principal -- Susan Boyle.

"I'd want some great people to star in it," he continued. "Wouldn't Susan Boyle make an amazing Principal McGee? We'd just need to write it into the script that she broke into song. I am obsessed with Susan. When I look at her original audition it makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up."

Frankly, we can't imagine why this film isn't already in production, perhaps alongside a live touring stage show. Bieber, Boyle and Cyrus all together in one venue, rocking poodle skirts and ducktails? We're so in.
