Along with Chan, the pic stars Dave Franco, Justin Theroux, Fred Armisen, Abbi Jacobson, Olivia Munn, Kumail Nanjiani, Michael Peña and Zach Woods. Franco is Lloyd, and Theroux voices Garmadon.

Boy lives on Mars. The final trailer for The Space Between Us has made its way online, ahead of the movie’s release in early February. This touching sci-fi tale directed by Peter Chelsom (Serendipity) was penned by Allan Loed (The Switch) from a story he wrote with Stewart Schill and Richard Barton Lewis.
It’s an original story not based on a book that tells the tale of Gardner Elliot (Ender’s Game’s Asa Butterfield), a 16-year-old boy who starts a long-distance (VERY long-distance) online relationship with a young girl named Tulsa (Tomorrowland actress Britt Robertson). What sounds like your typical YA romance is anything but typical, because Gardner has a big whopping secret. He was born, and lives, on Mars, and his entire existence was kept secret by NASA. When Gardner has the chance to go to Earth, he takes it and experiences everything pretty much for the first time. But the kicker is that Gardner’s heart can’t take our blue planet’s gravity, and it becomes a race against time to return him home. Although some of the action takes place on Mars, think of The Space Between Us as the anti-The Martian (which is an awesome movie, by the way). Whereas Matt Damon was trying to escape the Red Planet to return to Earth, the exact opposite is happening here. Check out the synopsis:
In this interplanetary adventure, a space shuttle embarks on the first mission to colonize Mars, only to discover after takeoff that one of the astronauts is pregnant. Shortly after landing, she dies from complications while giving birth to the first human born on the red planet – never revealing who the father is. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Gardner Elliot – an inquisitive, highly intelligent boy who reaches the age of 16 having only met 14 people in his very unconventional upbringing. While searching for clues about his father, and the home planet he’s never known, Gardner begins an online friendship with a street smart girl in Colorado named Tulsa. When he finally gets a chance to go to Earth, he’s eager to experience all of the wonders he could only read about on Mars – from the most simple to the extraordinary. But once his explorations begin, scientists discover that Gardner’s organs can’t withstand Earth’s atmosphere. Eager to find his father, Gardner escapes the team of scientists and joins with Tulsa on a race against time to unravel the mysteries of how he came to be, and where he belongs in the universe.
The Space Between Us features a stellar cast that includes Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight Trilogy), Carla Gugino (Watchmen), B.D. Wong (Jurassic World) and Janet Montgomery (Salem). Here’s the official synopsis for the movie: The movie will land in movie theaters on Feb. 3.Everything Is Awesome About This Honest Trailer for The Lego MovieThe heroes who make "honest trailers" for popular movies are back — and this time they've taken a stab at The Lego Movie. They're actually a bit less cutting than usual, though, because they admit the movie is surprisingly heartfelt and all-around good.They also make sure to acknowledge that The Lego Movie was totally snubbed by the Academy this year. (It did not earn a nomination for best animated feature.) So while they do poke fun at the fact that the film is really just one big commercial, they're actually pretty kind to it.Read Next: This Honest Trailer for Gone Girl Shows How Completely Ridiculous the Movie Actually IsSee Photos From Frozen Fever 5 Elsa celebrates Anna's birthday by throwing a party full of surprises and presents, including summer dresses, until Elsa1 of 5
Is it weird that I’m as excited for The LEGO Batman Movie as I am for Wonder Woman? That’s not weird, right? How can it be when LEGO Batman not only seems like it’s going to be a ridiculously fun take on the eponymous DC hero, but it also features an amazing female hero in Barbara Gordon, A.K.A. Batgirl? Ain’t nothing weird about being excited to watch Batgirl not only kick some ass, but also not take Batman seriously and put him in his place! In the above trailer, we get to watch Barbara (voiced by Rosario Dawson) in action both as Gotham’s top cop and as Batgirl, which is pretty sweet. As Gotham’s new police commissioner (So, what happened to Jim Gordon? We do get a glimpse of him in this second “Team” trailer…), Barbara expresses her desire to join forces with Batman, making explicit the police/superhero partnership that has always made Gotham run, and that Gotham desperately needs. It’ll be cool to see her not only be extremely good at her job as commissioner, but also at cleaning up the streets as Batgirl.
My only concern is that I hope she doesn’t fall to Trinity Syndrome the way that Wyldstyle did in The LEGO Movie (or, uh, Trinity did in The Matrix). You know, the super-awesome badass chick who’s good at everything…until the script requires her to suddenly become incompetent or unintelligent so that the male hero can shine? I hope that they actually DO team up and that it’s an equal partnership. And when LEGO Batman inevitably saves the day (it is The LEGO Batman Movie, after all), that it doesn’t happen at the expense of Barbara’s character development. The best part, though, is the fact that despite wanting to team up with Batman, she has zero patience for his nonsense. My favorite line in this trailer? “If you call me Batgirl, can I call you Batboy?” (Batman’s response is priceless) OK, no, my absolute favorite line, that I’ve seen in a couple of trailers so far is when Robin asks Batman why he built the Batplane with only one seat, and Batman says, “Because last I checked, I only had one butt.”
