Here's a piece of marketing for Clash of the Titans that is at least commendably sneaky. Go to the UK version of Google. Search Kick-Ass. What do you get? In the main results, just what you'd expect to: IMDB, the official site and so on... but over in the sidebar of sponsored advertising? First of all,…

While Warner Bros. might well have Bryan Singer under contract to direct Jack the Giant Killer, it seems Fox are keen to lure him back to their X-Men franchise, and not just for First Class. Though he's already attached to that one, producer Lauren Shuler Donner is also keen to tap his skills for a…

Update: MTV have received a statement from Burton's representation that says "There is no truth to the story. Tim has not lined up any of his upcoming projects". I'm pretty sure this official line in no way undermines the validity of Deadline's reporting - they won't have just made this up. We're obviously just a…

The latest project to fall into the laps of prolific hoarders Amanda Seyfried and McG is a movie based upon Sabrina Rudin Erdely's Rolling Stone article The Girl Who Conned the Ivy League. I've just read the original story to get a handle on what the movie would be about, and in basic terms, it's this:…

In a particularly delayed case of "you reap what you sow", the current administration at Sony Columbia are finding a little bit of an issue in some of their legacy contracts from the 80s. I've often heard that the three lead actors from Ghostbusters and original director Ivan Reitman have had power of veto over…

After In The Loop, Bruno and Borat, here comes another Brit-spawned comedy set to punch a few red buttons and play hacky sack with your political hot potatoes. Four Lions is the first feature film directed by Chris Morris, creator of the astonishing Brass Eye, Jam and Blue Jam and the significantly less successful Nathan…

Are you keeping up with the Conan casting? Jason Momoa is in,and as Conan no less; Mickey Rourke is out, replaced by Ron Perlman; Stephen Lang has been rumoured then confirmed... and on and on. The latest break is that Rose McGowan has been handed a role. But, hang on - isn't she supposed to be getting…

Before I hit you with a paragraph of jargon and numbers, let me tell you that you can just skip right ahead to below the break and find out what on earth all this tech talk has to do with Pixar (and get to the second Pixar story too, for that matter). Right. Are you…

It looks like Summit are trying to extend their reach even further than Eclipse's David Slade in picking a director for Breaking Dawn, the final Twilight film (or maybe films). Amongst their picks are three Academy Award nominated directors typically associated with more widely respected fare: Sofia Coppola, Gus Van Sant and Bill Condon. Now,…

Loud and proud Muppets fan Jason Segel has not only written the fluffy ones' upcoming movie, but as The Hollywood Reporter unsurprisingly reveal in their Heat Vision blog, he's signed on to play the lead role. According to their piece, the plot is under wraps but... er... I've read two different drafts of the screenplay,…

It was about time Fox spoke up and put James Cameron's wagging tongue to rest. Finally, we have the officially announced plans for Avatar on DVD and Blu-ray, and they're trying something a little bit different... The first release comes this April. Just as Jim said, the US launch will be on April 22nd which…

British sketch comedian and lauded short film director Jim Field Smith has just seen his debut feature She's Out of My League open to a respectable $9 million or so. Meanwhile, he's already at work on his follow up, the Black List approved Butter. It might be a spoiler - though also, very possibly not…

Scanning across the web it seems at first glance that Michel Gondry has a slate of upcoming projects to compare with even Guillermo Del Toro's monster heap. On closer inspection, however, it might appear that he's only got a handful described in various different ways, and certainly not too many to handle. Every one sounds…

Coming to you weekly from my vantage point in good old Blighty, it’s Slashfilm UK. Anglos and Anglophiles rejoice as every week I’ll be bringing you a round up of news, links and coverage specific to the motion picture comings and goings here in the UK. Sometimes we’ll be talking about films that have already…

It looks like Sam Worthington is going to have another block to bust and another tentpole to erect because he's the first talent to be tapped for a new, big-screen take on Dan Dare, Pilot of the Future. If you don't know Dan Dare, then I expect you simply aren't English. He's as famous over…

On the blah blah rounds to promote her latest picture The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, producer Nina Jacobson has let slip the main talent attached to upcoming project One Day. She revealed that as well as director Lone Scherfig, BAFTA nominated for An Education, there's also potential stars Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in…

Just days after the full trailer for Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways slipped out across the web, here comes a music video showcasing Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart as members of the titular band - you can see it for yourself after the break. I don't know if I'll like this film or not, but I'm…

Fox have decided to hold back release on Oliver Stone's Wall Street sequel, subtitled Money Never Sleeps, until September 24th. This will put it up against Kevin McDonald's Eagle of the Ninth, Zack Snyder's Legend of the Guardians and Andy Fickman's You Again with Kristen Bell and Sigourney Weaver. I was surprised to enjoy the…

The last time we talked about Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie, it was suggested that a new script was going to be called for, superceding the Warren Ellis draft and now, we've found out who the new writer will be. The lucky winner is John Hodge, probably most famous for having written Danny Boyle's Shallow…

According to a new piece at The LA Times, Warner Bros. are currently looking to push ahead with one of their two, long-in-development takes on the Wonderful Wizard of Oz story; meanwhile, Collider are reporting that no movement has been made on either project in over a year and that the Times piece is simply…

Here's a little distraction for you, something to play with for a couple of idle minutes. In order to promote the DVD and BD release of Saw VI (out since January in the US, in UK stores this week), Lionsgate have whipped up a little Where's Waldo-style picture with Jigsaw's creepy tricycling puppet Billy hidden…

She & Him is the musical collaboration of M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel, previously responsible for the Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? tune that we featured last year. That one had a bank job video directed by 500 Days of Summer's Marc Webb while for this new song, In the Sun, the man…
-
Sacha Baron Cohen and Jemaine Clement are competing for a role in Men in Black 3. This according to Bloody Disgusting. While they don't know who the character is, the do have a name and that name is Yaz. To me, it sounds like an alien and not an agent, partly because it's a full…

After going down well at Sitges and Sundance, Vincenzo Natali's Splice was picked up for distribution by Warner Bros. through their Dark Castle label. They've announced a 4th June release, which simply can't come soon enough. But what's this? A fly in the ointment? According to Fangoria, Natali is heading back to the edit room…

Even though Christopher Weekes' script The Muppet Man 'won' last year's Black List poll of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood, there was every chance it would never make it to the screen. Essentially a biopic of Jim Henson peppered with fantastical scenes starring The Muppets, it would require the involvement somehow of both the…
-
We might be closing in on the musical for people who don't like musicals (which will do until we find an outright cure for their curious condition). Over the last couple of years, Sin Nombre director Cary Funkunaga has been working on "a musical or an opera of some kind" with Zach Condon and Owen…

Academy Award repeat offender Nick Park is currently in the planning stages of a new, feature length movie to be produced in the same plasticine stylings as The Curse of the Were-rabbit. This time, though, he's not going back to West Wallaby Street and his cracking creations Wallace and Gromit are to be left on…
