Emily Blunt celebrated both Hollywood and her fellow British actors at the 2013 London Film Critics' Circle Awards on Sunday. Emily wore Alexander McQueen to the event and was nominated for best British actress for her roles in Looper and Your Sister's Sister but was beat out by Andrea Riseborough. Meanwhile, Les Misérables's Samantha Barks was nominated for young British performer of the year but was bested by The Impossible's Tom Holland. Samantha's costar Helena Bonham Carter was given one of the biggest honors of the night, the Dilys Powell award for excellence in film.

Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer Join Forces in the New Trailer For The Lone Ranger

October brought us a taste of Jerry Bruckheimer's latest when the first trailer for The Lone Ranger dropped.

October brought us a taste of Jerry Bruckheimer's latest when the first trailer for The Lone Ranger dropped. Now, we get a much more revealing look at the film, starring Armie Hammer as the Western hero and Johnny Depp as his faithful sidekick, Tonto, in a more extensive second trailer. We meet John Reid (aka The Lone Ranger) as he wakes up disoriented and dirty on a watchtower in the middle of the desert, apparently because Tonto buried him. His resurgence from the (literal) grave makes Tonto believe he is some kind of spirit walker, a man who cannot be killed in battle. Because they are both proclaimed justice seekers, they elect to "ride together."

Whereas the first trailer foreshadows how the invention of the railroad will affect the West and bring greedy villains to power, this preview has a lot more information about the heroic pair themselves. I already like the two together, and I can't wait to see whether or not Hammer can carry a lead role next to documented scene stealer Depp. The Lone Ranger is set to open July 3, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

The Lone Ranger Trailer: When Depp and Hammer Are Men in Masks

The times, they are a-changin' for folks in the Wild West.

The times, they are a-changin' for folks in the Wild West. The trailer for The Lone Ranger depicts a world in the process of being altered forever with the advent of the railroad. Men will no longer be at the mercy of their horses to take them to far places, and with this epic invention comes crime the likes of which people have never seen. Enter peacekeeper John Reid, aka The Lone Ranger (Armie Hammer). Guided by his sidekick, Tonto (Johnny Depp), he vows to protect his native land and keep criminals at bay.

The Lone Ranger character has been portrayed in several movies and series, but I was hoping to get a few more details about Gore Verbinski's retelling. What I can tell you is that there are bandits, ladies — specifically, Helena Bonham Carter — fast-moving trains, Johnny Depp dangerously clinging to the bottom of those fast-moving trains, and saloons. The movie comes out July 3, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Roman Polanski Directs Prada's Cannes Film

Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter star as psychiatrist and his patient in a hilarious short Prada debuted at the Cannes Film Festival.

Ben Kingsley and Helena Bonham Carter star as psychiatrist and his patient in a hilarious short Prada debuted at the Cannes Film Festival.

The Roman Polanski-directed film, called A Therapy, takes place during a psychiatrist's session. Bonham Carter's character comes into the doctor's office wearing head-to-toe Prada, doffs her coat and shoes before laying on a chaise lounge to muse about being wealthy and lonely. But the magic happens when Kingsley stops listening and wordlessly gets up to try on his patient's coat. Watch the video below.

Johnny Depp Brings Dark Shadows to London

Johnny Depp joined his Dark Shadows director Tim Burton and costars including Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Moretz, and Eva Green in London this evening.

Johnny Depp joined his Dark Shadows director Tim Burton and costars including Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Moretz, and Eva Green in London this evening. The group first premiered their new film Monday in LA, where Johnny also fit in a quick taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live! yesterday afternoon. Johnny talked about several of his famous friends during his chat with Jimmy and even took questions from some of his many impersonators. Dark Shadows, in which Johnny plays a vampire from the 1700s trying to adapt to life in the 1970s, is his eighth collaboration with Tim Burton. Early reviews of Dark Shadows and its off-kilter mix of horror and comedy have been lukewarm, but audiences will have a chance to decide for themselves when it hits US theaters on Friday.

Dark Shadows Trailer: Vampire Johnny Depp in the Last Days of Disco

I didn't have huge expectations for Dark Shadows, the film adaptation of the '60s drama series about a vampire, but I can still say that the trailer for the film is so not what I was expecting.

I didn't have huge expectations for Dark Shadows, the film adaptation of the '60s drama series about a vampire, but I can still say that the trailer for the film is so not what I was expecting. Sure, the preview is painted in dreamy gray tones, as we've come to know from Tim Burton, and Johnny Depp is once again covering up his beautiful face with pale white makeup. But beyond that, there are a lot more jokes than I had anticipated, plus disco music and an all-around cartoonish vibe.

The film follows Barnabas Collins (Depp), a guy who is turned into a bloodsucker by an evil witch (Eva Green) and emerges hundreds of years later in the '70s. Comedy ensues as he rejoins his new family members, is puzzled by the TV set, and clashes with a young Chloe Moretz on the meaning of the term "stoned." There's really no better word for this preview than "wacky," but suffice it to say that it succeeded in catching my attention.

The movie opens May 11, but check out the preview when you read more

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and J.K. Rowling Bid Farewell to Harry Potter With Their London Fans

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and the extended cast of Harry Potter came together in London's Trafalgar Square today to premiere the final installment of the saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and the extended cast of Harry Potter came together in London's Trafalgar Square today to premiere the final installment of the saga, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. Emma arrived in a beautiful floor-length Oscar de la Renta gown and raced over to greet fans and sign autographs before taking her place on the red carpet. Her best friends in the film, Rupert and Daniel, followed closely behind, also thanking fans and posing for pictures. The principle cast took the stage with J.K. Rowling and spoke to the audience of millions watching across the globe. Daniel first thanked fans and the cast and went on to say, "This isn't the end as fans will carry this story with them through the rest of their lives."

Emma then took to the podium and professed her love for her costars and especially Rupert and Daniel, saying, "Dan didn't get lucky, you were and are the perfect Harry and will be forever" and thanked "Rupert for making me laugh, I'll miss you so much," then broke down into tears before thanking J.K. for playing such a "great role model" in her life. Rupert was the final of the trio to take the mic, saying a simple "I love you" to the fans and crew and thanking J.K for everything she's done "for ginger people." It was a day full of mixed emotions for all of those involved with the franchise, and J.K. even joked, "I should write another one!" before wrapping up the event with her final words, saying, "Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home."
