Movie News Today

Darren Aronofsky ("The Wrestler") will direct the pilot for HBO's new series "Hobgoblin," an alternative history drama that follows a group of con men who fight against Hitler. I'm in.

In "Weird Casting Choices" news of the day, Charlie Day ("It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") has been added to Guillermo Del Toro's "Pacific Rim" about a group of soldiers who fight alien invaders with the aid of giant robots. Odd choice.

Empire presents the top 10 ten father figures in film history. Co-sign.

The viral marketing for the new "Muppet" movie continues with this awesome little teaser trailer. Love it.
