A new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens' was released Thursday afternoon.

While we've been poring over the new trailer, one of the things we caught is that it looks like Finn (John Boyega), who may be one of the main characters in the film, has a bloody hand mark on his stormtrooper helmet when he takes it off.

The sight of blood in a "Star Wars" movie is chilling, and unprecedented.

Though there have been countless limbs chopped off by lightsabers, and a scene from "The Phantom Menace" where Darth Maul impaled Qui-Gon Jinn with his dual-bladed lightsaber, we’ve never seen a drop of blood.

Perhaps director J.J. Abrams is taking the saga into more mature territory.

NOW WATCH: This is how the iconic lightsaber sounds are created for 'Star Wars'

Artificial Intelligence has fascinated filmmakers as far back as the 1920s with Fritz Lang's dazzling "Metropolis.” Recently, AI has found its way more frequently into movies.

Look at "Her," "Big Hero 6," "Chappie," and the upcoming "Avengers: Age of Ultron," and it seems there's no limit to how storytelling can implement our curiosity towards soulless devices programed to have all the (good and bad) traits of humans.

So when screenwriter Alex Garland ("28 Days Later," "Dredd") decided to examine this fertile ground with his directorial debut, "Ex Machina," he knew his AI had to be different.

The film follows a young programmer named Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson) who wins a contest to meet Nathan (Oscar Isaac), the famous CEO of the Google-like company where he's employed. After a helicopter leaves Caleb on Nathan's secluded compound, he learns that Nathan has created an AI and wants him to conduct the Turing test on it; which determines whether it can pass as a human. 

The AI is named Ava, and though there's no mistaking she's a robot with her visible metal skeletal structure and exposed inner workings, newcomer Alicia Vikander gives her such an emotional presence that at times Ava comes across as a living, breathing human.

The physical presence of Ava was something Garland took a lot of thought in. The challenge he saw was not just making Ava look more robotic than humans but also create a fresh robotic look to present to movie audiences.

"There was this huge danger the first time Ava walks onto the screen that the first thing you do is think about another movie," said Garland.

In creating concept art with UK artist Jock, Garland pushed aside any iconic look that would make you think of another movie bot. They couldn't use a gold color because it brought up too many recollections of C-3PO from the "Star Wars" saga. They also decided not to use white as it made them think of the robot in Björk's music video for “All is Full of Love” or the robots from Will Smith’s 2004 movie "I, Robot."

Finally they landed on mesh, and it just fit.

"Under certain lighting conditions it would give a kind of glimpse of the female form but almost drew your attention to the machine's skeleton structure inside Ava," said Garland.

“I looked like Spider-Man,” said Vikander, who spent four-and-a-half hours in hair and makeup before each shooting day to become Ava.

“The silver mesh covered my whole body and went up to a ball cap. So my forehead in the film was actually built into the suit,” she tells BI. “I would get there at 3:50am, so they built for me a little stick with a tennis ball at the end, because I couldn’t have a headrest. So when they finished getting my hair and forehead all made up I would prop my head on that and went back to sleep while they did the rest.”

Though Garland feels there's more to the film than just AI — specifically, the control major technology companies have on our daily lives — he knew that Ava needed to be that bridge to take you deeper into the story, and for it to work she had to look unique. 

"You need to be locked into the same experience Caleb [the main character] is having," Garland explains. "Anything else takes you out of the moment you should be in."

"Ex Machina" is now open in limited release and will be out nationwide April 24.

NOW WATCH: This Scientology documentary made HBO hire 160 lawyers — here's the trailer

Over the summer a teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s next project, “The Hateful Eight,” popped up before “Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” and was quickly leaked online.

It never officially appeared online, though. Thursday, The Weinstein Company, which is releasing the film later this year, finally released the official teaser online.

Outside of some blood splatters going across the screen there really isn’t much to it, other than the basic plot, which is that the story is set in post-Civil War Wyoming during a blizzard.

But the teaser gives us the character names of the hateful eight. If you’re not up on your Tarantino news you might not be aware of the great cast he’s got lined up. Here they are:

Samuel L. Jackson - Marquis Warren aka “The Bounty Hunter”
Kurt Russell - John Ruth aka “The Hangman”
Jennifer Jason Leigh - Daisy Domergue aka “The Prisoner”
Walton Goggins - Chris Mannix aka “The Sheriff”
Demian Bichir - Bob aka “The Mexican”
Tim Roth - Oswaldo Mobray aka “The Little Man”
Michael Madsen - Joe Cage aka “The Cow Puncher”
Bruce Dern - General Sandy Smithers aka “The Confederate”

Here’s the teaser.

And here’s the poster.

NOW WATCH: Here's what it takes to be President Obama's right-hand man

"Slow West" is a modern Western clearly made by people that love and respect the genre, though it has more in common with a mismatched buddy comedy than a John Wayne film.

The premise is simple — a young Scottish boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) travels across late 19th-century West in pursuit of the woman he loves. The boy is incredibly naive and knows not of the unspeakable horrors that lie in the desolate countryside. 

Lucky for him, he crosses paths with an outlaw drifter (Michael Fassbender) that offers to help guide and protect him along the way for a small fee. Little does he know the drifter may have a motive of his own.

Fassbender likely says more in voiceover narration than he does to the boy, and the difference in candor between these two mediums reveals there may be more to him than his brutish exterior would indicate. As more characters are introduced, Fassbender's value to the boy becomes clearer, and his charming demeanor becomes more sinister. The chemistry between the two is always lively and fun, and since the audience knows Fassbender is up to something, the tension only continues to rise until all hell breaks loose.

Besides the actual leads, the real star of the show here is the gorgeous, seemingly endless, wide-open spaces of the old West. The photography does a great job of isolating our heroes — as they go deeper and deeper into unchartered territory, they appear even more alone amongst the sweeping New Zealand backdrops, which themselves are a bit more confined by the director's decision to shoot 1.66:1.

Westerns are usually the perfect vehicle for a fuller, wider "scope" aspect ratio of 2.35:1, but the smaller, tighter frames work well here, restricting the view and keeping the audience in the same space as the characters. The string-filled score does a great job of accenting the action and feels like a solid mix of old-school and contemporary influences.  

The most surprising thing about "Slow West" is how genuinely funny it is in spite of the fact that it's steeped in Shakespearean level tragedy. There are a number of hilarious gags weaved throughout, and even when things get incredibly dark, there's a big punchline a second later to ease the pain. It's not a comedy in the traditional sense, but rather a dark, sad and contemplative story made that much more effective through genuinely funny moments. 

By the time "Slow West" reaches its frantic, mayhem-ridden, "Straw Dogs"-esque third act, it's firing on all cylinders, and is a total blast. It's masterfully paced, impeccably shot, occasionally violent, often funny, and always a joy to behold.

"Slow West" plays the Tribeca Film Festival Saturday 4/18,  Wednesday 4/22 & Friday 4/24.

NOW WATCH: Marvel's new 'Ant-Man' trailer looks even better than 'Guardians of the Galaxy'

"The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart was apparently quite amused by former Vice President Dick Cheney's recent comments on Iran. 

Cheney went on a conservative talk radio show last week and accused President Barack Obama of being "about to give [Iran] nuclear weapons. I can't think of a more terrible burden to leave the next president than what Obama is creating here."

That charge did not set well with Stewart, and the comedian devoted a lengthy segment of his Thursday night show to mocking Cheney, whom he replaced with a red balloon with a frowny face drawn on it.

Stewart noted that Cheney was a key supporter of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, which he said was the real reason that neighboring Iran is on the rise.

"Is there anything else you can think of, over the last say, I don't know, 12 years and 28 days that could also be seen as fundamentally strengthening Iran's position in that region?" Stewart asked the balloon. 

Assisted by dramatic music and stage props, Stewart proceeded to investigate whether Cheney — and not Obama — was actually responsible for Iran building up its nuclear program.

"It was you!" Stewart exclaims at one point.

"Shark Tank" investor Lori Greiner aggressively nabbed a deal with Scrub Daddy founder Aaron Krause in the show's fourth season in 2012. She sweetened her offer to $200,000 for 20% equity and promised to make Krause a millionaire within a year.

Krause had charmed the Sharks with an energetic live demonstration of his smiley-faced sponge, a scrubbing tool that he says cleans better and is more hygienic than a traditional sponge. Investor Daymond John told Business Insider last year that it was his favorite pitch in six seasons, and that it was like watching a live infomercial.

Two and a half years since Krause's "Shark Tank" pitch premiered, Scrub Daddy has sold more than 10 million units and made over $50 million in sales. The product makes regular QVC appearances and is sold in Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, Target, and Staples locations across the US. It's by far the most successful company that secured a deal on the show.

Krause, a Cherry Hill, New Jersey, resident and automotive industry veteran, stumbled into the home cleaning supplies business.

He designed the original Scrub Daddy sponge — sans smiley face — in 2006 when he was running a car detail service and product development company, Dedication To Detail. One of the products his company made was a urethane foam buffing pad, and on a whim he asked the German manufacturer to produce a pad that was as rough as possible, with "eye sockets" to clean fingers and "hair" ridges to clean underneath fingernails.

He hoped this prototype of Scrub Daddy could be a more comfortable replacement for pumice Lava Soap that autoworkers used to wipe their hands clean of grime and oil. He thought the product the German company made was great, but he shelved the idea after selling his foam business to 3M in 2008.

Krause said that in 2011 he needed to clean his lawn furniture and decided to break out the scrubbers he had set aside. They did the job so well that he tried them on his dishes. He added a "smile" to accommodate the curve of utensils, and the current version of the Scrub Daddy was born.

He put $75,000 into designing new packaging and producing an initial batch, and secured a patent.

His close friend owned five ShopRite grocery stores in New Jersey and let him display his products. When they didn't sell, Krause tried doing live demos in the store. He quickly took to the performances and customer interactions.

By April 2012, Krause had obtained a weekend front-page business feature in the Philadelphia Inquirer and two QVC appearances; on the second appearance, he sold 4,000 sets of Scrub Daddies in eight minutes.

He said that he remembers sitting with his wife watching his favorite show, "Shark Tank," and thinking, "I could go on this and kill it." He sent in a submission and eventually landed a spot on the show a couple months later.

"The Scrub Daddy to me was a perfect product," Greiner told Business Insider. "It was clever and unique. It was different. It was something that people need and want." And it was a consumable, meaning that customers would need to continue buying it.

Greiner — who has created more than 400 inventions, holds more than 120 patents, and has sold well over $500 million worth of products on QVC — likes to classify retail products as either heroes or zeroes. She said she could instantly tell Scrub Daddy was a hero.

She also thought Krause's pitch would play well in an infomercial and told him she'd quickly get him one if they made a deal.

After they signed a contract, however, Krause told her that he didn't want to go the infomercial route. He not only had reservations that an infomercial might cheapen the image of his product, but he did not want to give away significant control of his company to the infomercial production and distribution team and chance having his product forgotten like the Snuggie or ShamWow.

Instead, he wanted his Scrub Daddy to be sold alongside the US's most popular cleaning products.

Krause remembers Greiner warning him, "If you want to compete with the big guys, you're going to have to be in it for the long haul." He'd have to work tirelessly at building the brand for years to come if he wanted to forego the infomercial circuit.

He was in for the long haul, just not the infomercial route, he told Greiner. She replied that she would be, too.

Before his "Shark Tank" appearance, Krause had done around $100,000 in sales from QVC, ecommerce, and his friend's five ShopRite locations. After the show premiered, he got calls from Bed Bath & Beyond and ShopRite's corporate headquarters.

He signed deals with those outlets, and Greiner secured deals with Target, Ace Hardware, and Staples. Krause said Greiner is working on some other major distribution deals to accelerate Scrub Daddy's growth.

Greiner has also helped Krause develop new products like Scrub Daddy in colors, a lemon-scented sponge, and several new items that will be released this year.

Scrub Daddy now has 50 employees and its own 40,000 square-foot factory in Folcroft, Pennsylvania.

Krause said that Greiner is available at any time of day to discuss new ideas. "She's not human!" he said. "I'll send her an email at 2 in the morning, and she'll reply. I have to say, 'That was actually meant for you to see tomorrow!'"

Krause committed himself full-time to Scrub Daddy last May, but continues to work on inventions that fall outside of the company. He said that his and Greiner's shared passion for inventing has allowed them to understand how the other works.

She also respects that he's run a factory for the past 20 years and that he's comfortable working a QVC spot alone (although working alongside Greiner doubles or triples sales). "She doesn't babysit," Krause said.

They're now working toward Krause's long-term goal of making Scrub Daddy a household name, like Brillo or Lysol.

"Breaking into the retail world is almost impossible unless you're a company like 3M," or have a business partner like Greiner, Krause said.

"Once you've got her on your team, the sky's the limit."

NOW WATCH: This ‘Shark Tank’ investor once made a $5 million mistake

Gwyneth Paltrow threw in the towel on the "Food Stamp Challenge," an opportunity to bring awareness to the millions of people in the United States living on a paltry sum of $31 a week to feed themselves and their families.

Paltrow, who was criticized this past weekend for using her week's allowance to buy half a dozen limes and parsley, told readers of her lifestyle site GOOP that she couldn't hack it.

She ended the challenge, which is supposed to last a week, after just four days.

"As I suspected, we only made it through about four days, when I personally broke and had some chicken and fresh vegetables (and in full transparency, half a bag of black licorice)," she confessed in a GOOP post. "My perspective has been forever altered by how difficult it was to eat wholesome, nutritious food on that budget, even for just a few days—a challenge that 47 million Americans face every day, week, and year."

Critics explained why Paltrow's mostly green grocery basket (above) didn't make sense.

Rebecca Vipond Brink on The Frisky explained that most families living on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) can't buy things like limes and herbs— while healthy and tasty, they're not filling. Canned foods and peanut butter, frozen chicken breasts, and oatmeal are more likely to make it into the carts of those forced to stretch $31 into seven days of meals. Not to mention fast food restaurants that give you a lot of (unhealthy) bang for your buck.

Paltrow then tied in her thoughts about workplace equality to her post about living on food stamps.

"If women were paid an equal wage, families might have more of a choice in the grocery aisles, not to mention in the rest of their lives," she wrote.

Paltrow also shared some of the meals she made with her family this past week with the ingredients she purchased above, like this brown rice, kale, and roasted sweet potato sauté. 

Her meals (others include black bean taquitos and black bean cakes) are plated beautifully and photographed beautifully, but people are still pointing out that they're not realistic.

Business Insider reader LauraZZ commented:

This is much more to being poor than having to live on a strict budget. There is an avalanche of stress that surrounds poverty so survival consumes every living thought. This stress leads to all kinds of health problems. All of these issues make you an unhealthy, miserable person, which in turn makes it even more difficult to find a decent job. In order to truly understand what it's like to live on food stamps and to be poor. You actually need to be poor. You can't take a food stamp challenge from your mansion. It's just not the same. There's a whole world of hurt that goes along with the food stamps.

"After trying to complete this challenge...I would give myself a C-," Paltrow admitted.

2015 is the year of "Star Wars."

On Thursday, director J.J. Abrams, much of the next "Star Wars" film's cast, and one very cute droid unveiled the second trailer for this December's movie.

Friday, we got news of the tie-in game, "Star Wars: Battlefront."

First and foremost, the release date: "Star Wars: Battlefront" arrives on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on November 17 (November 19 in Europe). 

While the new film advances the "Star Wars" saga beyond the end of "Return of the Jedi," one mission in the new game helps to tell the story leading up to "The Force Awakens." Specifically, one pre-order mission – the "Battle of Jakku"– will show players "the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet on the Outer Rim."

Remnants of that battle can still be seen in the trailer for the new film – you're forgiven for not knowing all the little details. We've got a breakdown of the full trailer right here that will help get you up to speed.

"Star Wars: Battlefront" isn't all about "Star Wars" lore, though; it's primarily focused on multiplayer battles. Up to 40-person battles are the showcase in "Battlefront," featuring iconic characters, vehicles and locations from the "Star Wars" franchise: Speeder bikes and snow speeders, AT-ATs, TIE fighters, the Millennium Falcon, all being piloted across Endor, Hoth, Tatooine and a newly introduced planet named "Sullust."

Check out the first trailer below for even more:

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" will take place approximately 30 years after the last film, 1983's "Return of the Jedi."

What happened during the years in between?

"Star Wars Battlefront" will help piece that mystery together.

During Thursday's Star Wars Celebration kickoff panel for "The Force Awakens," it was revealed the sand-filled planet introduced in the film's two trailers isn't Luke Skywalker's home of Tattooine, as previously thought, but instead, another one called Jakku.

Customers who pre-order the game will be able to visit Jakku, the new planet featured in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

Via the press release from EA:

Star Wars Battlefront will be among the first players to experience the Battle of Jakku, the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet on the Outer Rim. Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars™: The Force Awakens™. 

So if you were confused by the scene in the trailer below, it will start to make a lot more sense once you play the game.

"Star Wars Battlefront" will be released November 17 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC. You can read more about the game here.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is in theaters December 18.

NOW WATCH: This is how the iconic lightsaber sounds are created for 'Star Wars'

Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, The Rock, and other stars of the "Furious" movies are much bigger on social media than any other ensemble movie — yes, even "The Avengers."

Crowdtangle provided some data on how they compare in followers:

What makes the "Furious" family so good? Here's some insight from Crowdtangle CEO Brandon Silverman:

Vin has been on Facebook for a very long-time (since at least 2012) and was way ahead of the game on what's now considered a lot of best practices. The other big ones from F7 now all follow a lot of his approach as well, including the Rock, Jason Statham, Ludacris and Tyrese. First, they focus on Facebook and put a lot of resources into it. If you compare something as simple as often how they post, 8 out of the 10 who post the most frequently on Facebook from both franchises (F7 versus Avengers) are from F7.

Second, they post content that has a very authentic, personal feel about what they're doing in their day-to-day lives, including surprising, even embarrassing, content that breaks the mold of the buttoned-up celebrity. That's something that takes time and a real personal buy-in from the individual celebrities. They're also careful about how often they post promotional material (not true of a lot of celebrities), use a lot of visuals & native video and are willing to curate other people's content when it's engaging and meaningful for their audience.

NOW WATCH: Here's how the stars of 'Fast & Furious' have changed over the years

Shia LaBeouf gave a glimpse inside his recent nine-month stay in rehab for alcohol abuse while at a screening Thursday at the Tribeca Film Festival.

The 28-year-old actor, who was arrested in New York City last summer while being disorderly at a Broadway show, was attending the festival in support of a film he financed, “Love True” from director Alma Har’el. 

According to Deadline, in the post-screening Q&A, LaBeouf was asked to describe how Har’el directs people in her films and LaBeouf compared it to an exercise he went through in rehab:

“You do this kind of operatic therapy, where you go in and sit with your small little group, three or four people, and you work through your s---. Somebody will play your father, somebody will play your mother, and there’s literally like an action/cut thing and you go all the way there. For me, it’s like method acting. … The only way you can actually have something like that go on is when everyone agrees that that’s what the reality is. You rarely get that on a large film set.”

LaBeouf and Har’el previously worked together on the music video “Fjögur píanó," by Icelandic band Sigur Rós, in which LaBeouf starred and Har’el directed.

The appearance was a rare one for the former “Transformers” star, who has stayed out of the spotlight since his arrest, though he continues to make headlines whether it be his #IAMSORRY art exhibit in January or his current hair style. 

But LaBeouf is never shy, telling Variety recently about being a celebrity:

“The requirements to being a star/celebrity are namely, you must become an enslaved body. Just flesh — a commodity, and renounce all autonomous qualities in order to identify with the general law of obedience to the course of things. The star is a byproduct of the machine age, a relic of modernist ideals.”

LaBeouf will next be seen in the post-apocalyptic thriller “Man Down,” which hits theaters in the fall.

In case you’re living under a rock, the new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” teaser trailer was released on Thursday.

In addition to adding $2 billion to Disney’s value, the trailer was chock-full of new material and scenes that die-hard fans went crazy for, from the first shot of villain Kylo Ren to Harrison Ford reprising his role as Han Solo. 

Parodies began popping up immediately. There was even a “Star Wars” trailer with LEGOs released soon after. 

But nothing compares to Matthew McConaughey “reacting” to the new trailer, a video of which was posted on Reddit’s /r/videos:

The genius scene was posted by YouTube user oskararnarson and splices together McConaughey in “Interstellar” with the new “Star Wars” trailer.

In the original “Interstellar” movie, McConaughey has been waiting and waiting for his daughter (played by Jessica Chastain) — who is still on Earth — to send him a video message. While barely any time has passed for him in space, she has aged 23 years Earth and sends him a heart-wrenching message about how he’s missed her birthday and isn’t home yet.

In this version, instead of crying while watching a video message from his adult daughter, McConaughey begins sobbing as the voice of Luke Skywalker explains how “The force is strong in my family …”

It somehow fits perfectly, making McConaughey look like an overly excited “Star Wars” fan.

The Verge writer Sean O'Kane points out that these videos of McConaughey reacting to things aren’t new, but we’d argue this one is definitely the best.

At the time of this post, 68,000 people have seen the video. Given the rate at which the Reddit video is climbing, it has the potential to go viral.

If you haven’t seen it, watch the "The Force Awakens" second official teaser video below.

Most zoos have signs that say something like "Don't feed the animals" but have you ever seen a sign that tells you not to provoke them?

The Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska might need one after this incident of a gorilla cracking the glass, which was the only thing separating it from a family of onlookers:

You can see the look of dumbfounded expression on the family members' faces as the gorilla slams into the glass:

Normally, gorillas don't go around cracking glass windows for the fun of it.

It's common to see gorillas grow aggressive when they're competing for mates or between male and female gorillas, but, that's not what provoked this gorilla's destructive behavior.

Seconds before it charged the family, a little girl pounded her chest at the animals. You can see her reflexion in the GIF below:

Although Gorillas are known for this classic, chest-beating behavior, it's a rare display. Chest-beating is one of the rituals that two male gorillas of two different tribes will perform in an attempt to avoid physical confrontation.

When two tribes meet, the two males will sometimes partake in a fight to the death, so in order to avoid this they will perform a series of acts to scare off their competitor by appearing stronger. Chest-beating and kicking with one leg are some of the displays they make.

According to the zoo keeper, this is not the first time a gorilla has cracked a glass window at the zoo. Looks like a sign instructing visitors not to provoke the gorillas might be a good idea.
