In Nanny McPhee Returns, Academy Award®-winning actress EMMA THOMPSON (An Education, Stranger Than Fiction, Nanny McPhee, Love Actually, Sense and Sensibility) returns to the role of the magical nanny who appears when she’s needed the most and wanted the least in the next chapter of the hilarious and heartwarming fable that has enchanted children around the world. In the latest installment, Nanny McPhee appears at the door of a harried young mother, Mrs. Isabel Green (Academy Award® nominee MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL of Crazy Heart, The Dark Knight, Stranger Than Fiction, SherryBaby), who is trying to run the family farm while her husband is away at war. But once she’s arrived, Nanny McPhee discovers that Mrs. Green’s children are fighting a war of their own against two spoiled city cousins who have just moved in and refuse to leave. Relying on everything from a flying motorcycle and a statue that comes to life to a tree-climbing piglet and a baby elephant who turns up in the oddest places, Nanny McPhee uses her magic to teach her mischievous charges five new lessons.

Starring alongside Thompson and Gyllenhaal in Nanny McPhee Returns are RHYS IFANS (Notting Hill, Pirate Radio, Greenberg) as Mrs. Green’s villainous brother-in-law, Phil, and legendary two-time Academy Award®-winning actress DAME MAGGIE SMITH (Becoming Jane, Harry Potter series) as the delightfully enigmatic Mrs. Docherty. Nanny McPhee Returns is directed by BAFTA winner and two-time Emmy nominee SUSANNA WHITE (television’s Generation Kill, Bleak House, Jane Eyre) from a screenplay by Academy Award®-winning screenwriter Emma Thompson, based on the character from the “Nurse Matilda” children’s book series by CHRISTIANNA BRAND.

Director Edgar Wright turned the zombie-genre on its head with the cult hit Shaun of the Dead and then the police buddy comedy in Hot Fuzz.  In his latest feature film, Edgar Wright tackles a comic book adaptation blending different genres in SCOTT PILGRIM VS. THE WORLD starring Superbad's Michael Cera, Twilight's Anna Kendrick and Fantastic Four's Chris Evans. 

Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him.

Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker’s quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It’s getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart’s ass—and now is back in town—to the teenage distraction he’s trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn’t been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor. As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues’ gallery from her past—from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsome identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

Megan Fox and Josh Brollin Interview

JOSH: However Megan was perceived, I liked the idea of giving somebody - even though this is a kind of an absurd ridiculous escapist film - the opportunity like someone gave me in saying "hey we can go a little further with the acting here.  Even though we made it fun, Megan did a lot of different takes where she's crying, not crying. There some of a dialect there and bucolic dialect.  But when I read some of these articles that she had done and was kind of acerbic and rebellious she could be - I wanted to see how real that was.  
 
Nobody can handle that kind of fame that fast at 22 years old and I thought she was handling it really well. I just wanted to see she was the real deal.  I wanted to see if she could go head to head with John and hold her own.  There's definitely a truck driver mentality there. 

MEGAN: I think it's wonderful what they're saying it and I'm humbled by their comments.
People who are famous and make it to this level of fame for whatever reason whether it'd deserved or not - you have to be a strong person to survive it because it is very difficult to be under the microscope every moment of every day.  Everything that leaves your mouth becomes this sensationalized newstory no matter what your intentions were when you said it. It becomes overwhelming but am I that rebellious?  Of course I think there are many sides to me who I am in my personality. The only thing that is rebellious about me is that I don't really have any fears as far as this industry is concerned that maybe other people are afraid to do or say.  In my personal life, I am actually very responsible with my personal relationships and things like that. 

JOSH:  Rebellion could be holding on to your own integrity of not playing into the idea of this sensationalizing.  We all have our moments.  and that's your guy's job to take those moments and turgid - gaseous and make it big.  It's bigger than the person is.  And when you start believing your own press that's when it gets really sad. But that's part of the rebellion that I responded because she is still her.  She's still very grounded.
