Brad Peyton is the director of "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore," the sequel to the 2001 hit "Cats & Dogs." The film, which is being released by Warner Bros., comes out July 30 in 3D.

"That picture of domestic harmony is just what they want you to see," claims Brad Peyton, who happily exposes the true story of backyard politics in "Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore."

In 1987, "Predator" introduced a popular character in sci-fi film history, an invisibility-cloaked extra-terrestrial warrior who wreaked havoc in the jungle. Wishing to refresh the franchise in 1994, Fox invited Robert Rodriguez, a maverick young filmmaker fresh from his stunning debut "El Mariachi," to write a script about the character.  "I was originally hired only as a writer," Rodriguez explains. "They were looking for a fresh approach to the material, so I jumped at the chance. I was a big fan of 'Predator.' When I first came to Hollywood, I met Carl Weathers and Arnold Schwarzenegger, so I thought a new 'Predator' film would be a fun project to take on.

Helen Mirren stars in "Love Ranch," directed by her husband-director Taylor Hackford (Ray). The film is released by E1 Entertainment on June 30.

“It was a rather beautifully written character which was why I wanted to play her,” recalls Helen Mirren, who won the 2006 Best Actress Oscar for "The Queen," about her reaction to the role of Grace on first reading. “She’s very tough at the beginning, very harsh and cynical,” she continues, “and in the process of the film she kind of reawakens. She re-finds her humanity in a way.”

David Slade is the director of "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse," starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner. The film will be released June 30 by Summit Entertainment.

“What attracted me to this project was that it is a great story and a tremendous challenge for me as a filmmaker. I don’t like doing the same thing over and over again, because I learn from being challenged. On one level this was the biggest challenge out there – to make a film of this scope, in this amount of time, and to go into a different genre essentially. Yes, I've done a vampire film, but Eclipse is a very different kind of thing. This is a romantic story, which swings from a darker more abject feeling to very pure romantic scenes. To do very emotional scenes was a huge challenge and fun and a way to grow.
