Summit just released a brand new trailer for the brand new, updated version of The Three Musketeers. The film boasts a number of stars including Logan Lerman, Orlando Bloom, Luke Evans, the amazing Christoph Waltz and Milla Jovovich as Milady de Winter. Check it out below.

Right on the heels of the announcement that The Three Musketeers will hit theaters on October 21 instead of October 14, we get the second trailer for the film. There is all the swashbuckling you could wish for. There are also a lot of steam punk sci-fi elements — air ships , explosions and Jovovich doing slo-mo stunts worthy of a Zack Snyder film.

LOS ANGELES — “Transformers” robots have lost some of their money-making power but delivered the biggest opening weekend domestically so far this year.

Distributor Paramount Pictures said Sunday that “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” took in $97.4 million domestically in its first weekend. That beat the $90.2 million debut of Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.”

But the domestic haul for the sci-fi sequel was down from the $109 million first weekend for 2009’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.”

Since opening Tuesday night, the new “Transformers” pulled in $162 million domestically through Sunday, a drop from $200.1 million for “Revenge of the Fallen” in its first five days.

Paramount estimates “Dark of the Moon” will hit $180.9 million domestically by the end of the long Fourth of July weekend Monday.

“Dark of the Moon” added $210 million overseas, giving the movie a worldwide total of $372 million through Sunday.

The movie broke the three-day Fourth of July weekend record for domestic revenue previously held by 2004’s “Spider-Man 2″ at $88.2 million. But fac

Indiewire gained access to a copy of an email that Lisa Friel, primary subject of HBO docmentary Sex Crimes Unit, sent to a group of friends and colleagues Sunday afternoon. Weve posted it in full below. [See related story, The Star of HBO Documentary “Sex Crimes Unit” Leaves Job As Questions Remain]

To All My Good Friends and Relatives from All Across the Country Who Are Worried About Me and My Kids,

Thank you all so very much for all your words of support and encouragement at this extremely difficult time for my children and me. I cannot begin to tell you how much your words have meant to me.

Contrary to the news reports, I did not resign, nor did I get fired, but I did announce to my Unit this past week that I was leaving for financial and other reasons; that I was looking for a job in the private sector and that I had discussed my decision with the higher ups in my Office and we had decided that for the good of the Unit, it would be best if I transitioned out of my position as Chief of the Sex Crimes Unit over the summer and then officially stepped down on September 1.
