Now you've got your Na'Vi make-up on (and you look beautiful, I have to say) let's make sure your passport photo is up to date too. Below the break you can see a Photoshop timelapse video in which Peter Ammentorp Lund makes over an image of himself in the likeness of James Cameron's cat folk…

Willem Dafoe is out on the publicity rounds for Daybreakers, and fielding questions from i09 about Andrew Stanton's John Carter of Mars in which he'll be playing Tars Tarkas, a ten foot tall martian warrior. There's some things he would talk about - "I saw [Stanton] recently because we start in London, for studio stuff.…

The last time George Romero's Dawn of the Dead went out for a reworking, pretty much the entire blogosphere shared my skepticism. Luckily, once Zack Snyder's remake finally came out, most of us were satisfied that while he hadn't ousted the original from it's Best Zombie Movie Ever pedestal, he'd actually served up a film…

Some people probably saw this coming when Joe Wright signed on to direct, but I have to admit that I didn't. Atonement's Saoirse Ronan is now in negotiations to take the title role in Wright's upcoming action-thriller Hanna. The film is a kind of Nikita-meets-Leon, Kick-Ass-meets-Bourne mash-up about a 14 year old girl who has…

Google have decided to call their new cellphone the Nexus One which suggests it's a full five... er... Nexuses not as good as those naughty Replicants that gave Rick Deckard such trouble in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, filmed as Blade Runner. This comparison has not been lost on the estate of author Philip…

Update: Sad news. Tsutomi Yamaguchi has died. A tragic reminder of how important Cameron's promise to honour the victims of this tragic moment in history actually is. Here's the Guardian's report. After years and years of slaving away over Avatar - though most definitely, I think we're agreed, not in vain - what is James…

Break out the champers because the short answer appears to be yes. But why the confusion? The story starts on December 28th, when Spanish home video site Zona DVD ran an Iberian equivalent of an April Fools joke and unveiled a spoof trade ad for Blu-ray releases of the Back to the Future trilogy. "5…

[Update: Universal has contacted us to confirm that there are no two competing cuts of Wolfman. According to the film's producer, "The movie's been done for a while. We finished the cut, and obviously we are now mixing and scoring and putting in our final effects right now, but the movie's been finished. The concept…

The sell-off situation with MGM right now seems to be the eye of a film news storm, all sorts of other business swirling around it, crashing and smashing and, sometimes, just whizzing by perfectly intact like that darn cow from Twister. Just last night we found out that Bond 23 is being fast-tracked, despite earlier…

My favourite YouTube upload of the last week or so is at once a basic guide to Halloween-ready Na'vi makeup - and let's face facts, there's going to be a strong tang of Avatar to All Hallow's Eve come October, not to mention every possible cosplay outlet from here until the end of time/until the…

Griping about the arbitration of those Oscar folk at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences seems to be a rather popular sport, and one in full season right now. For some reason, the most frequent complaints seem to revolve around the terms of admission to the music categories. You may recall the hubbub…

The RZA's career in the movies reportedly started with a call from Harvey Weinstein. Here's how he tells it, in an impersonation of the big man. The phone went, he picked it up, there was a raspy voice and it said: Hey RZA, it's Harvey. I want you to be in my movie. You got…

It seems that Peter Berg's replacement as the director of the new Dune movie has been found and it isn't Neil Marshall. According to Entertainment Weekly, action specialist Pierre Morel, director of Taken, Banlieue 13 and the upcoming From Paris With Love has come on board. That's a real step up in my book. They…

Hurry up and put your bid in for MGM will you, because it seems that whole situation will have to be settled before the next Bond film makes any more progress. According to producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, "Well, our timeline's a little up in the air what with the situation at MGM,…

Though nothing now could live up to the excitement of seeing Fantasia on it's original release, when it was a real big event with allocated seating, a dress code, programme booklets and the first ever stereophonic sound in cinema, I'm still getting pretty sparky over the film's imminent Blu-ray edition. Coming to Disney's Diamond Edition…

If I've heard one author answer the question "Where do you get your ideas from?" with a shrug and a pained face, then I've heard one hundred. Faring somewhat better, however, are the screenwriters talking to The LA Times about the origins of some famous and beloved movie quotes. The paper has compiled anecdotal genesis…

Batman and Super Mario aren't the only icons to have their own POW! Apparently an acronym for Purveyors of Wonder, Stan Lee's POW! Entertainment are an output for "new characters and franchises" created by The Man in recent years. At the same time as locking up their acquisition of Marvel this past Thursday, the Disney…

While there's very little new material in the new Toy Story 3 featurette Drawn to Animation, what little there is has premium fan value. Finally, we're given our first look at Mr. Pricklepants, the pretentious thespian stuffed-toy Hedgehog who seems set to be one of the major additions to the cast. Of course, we still…

Coming to you weekly from my vantage point in good old Blighty, it’s Slashfilm UK. Anglos and Anglophiles rejoice as every Friday 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. Well, except for this Friday because hardlty anything has…

Jerzy Skolimowski's best known films are likely those he was a writer on and of these none is better known than Roman Polanski's Knife in the Water, a great thriller that was like Dead Calm but 27 years earlier and not actually rubbish. Amongst his work as director are two films from the 70s that…

We last reported on the grassroots campaign to earn Sam Rockwell an Oscar nomination for his... er... role in Moon back in October. "Sony Pictures Classics isn’t likely to put money into an awards campaign" said Peter at the time. Today, Duncan Jones has been all of a Twitter about the matter and it seems…

Every year for the last 20 years, 25 motion pictures have been selected for archiving in the Library of Congress' National Film Registry. Here's the full of list of this year's films, while after the break I will embed full video for some of the shorts. Dog Day Afternoon, Dir. Sidney Lumet (1975) The Exiles,…

I can understand Pixar trading on the legacy of the Toy Story films, Monsters Inc. and so on - even Cars, which I know many critics aren't so kind on - but Dreamworks Animation trying to draw hype out of their back catalogue? Admittedly they've put the weight on the more successful Shrek and Madagascar…

I think that we should first of all indulge in a little primer on Tesujin 28-go aka Gigantor, my favourite giant robot of all - because, yes, I do like some giant robots, honest. Created in the mid-50s as a Manga series, Tetsujin 28-go tells the story of a three-storey tall robot invented to help…

The main wealth of Eric Brevig's moviemaking experience has been as an FX guy, though he has now segued through second unit directing to overseeing his own movies. His first feature was the Journey to the Centre of the Earth remake-sequel with Brendan Fraser, which was an early example of live action 3D in the…

At the very least, each of Clint Mansell's movie scores strengthens the film it accompanies and at the very best, his music works extraordinarily both in the picture and as standalone listening. With Lux Aeterna, his most astonishing cue from the Requiem for a Dream soundtrack, he managed to write one of the most beloved,…

Below the break you can see four alternative covers for the first issue of Kevin Smith's new Green Hornet comics. He has adapted his unproduced Green Hornet movie screenplay into a ten chapter miniseries, illustrated by Jonathan Lau. The series has reportedly been fully completed before even the first issue hits the shops, so we…
