If you've run any IMDB searches for The 40 Year Old Virgin recently, you may have come across The 40 Year Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It. You may have also hoped that you had entered a cinematic bizarro world, because surely nobody would greenlight such a thing. Unfortunately,…

Back in August, we learned that Steven Spielberg had decided to remake the Jimmy Stewart classic, Harvey. We've heard little else about the film since then, aside from the fact that Tom Hanks didn't want the lead role, and today it appears that we won't be hearing much else for some time. Spielberg has apparently…

It doesn't look like John Woo will be returning to Hollywood anytime soon. After a string of not-so-great Western films, Woo returned to China and delivered the massive two-part epic Red Cliff. I've only seen the first film of the Chinese release (haven't yet seen the condensed most other countries got), and while it certainly…

We haven't heard much about the Michael Bay-produced remake of The Birds since Comic-Con, where we were told that Martin Campbell (Casino Royale, Goldeneye) would be directing the film, and that Naomi Watts wanted to star. Now according to the folks over at Pajiba, and their increasingly reliable Hollywood-insider source, Campbell has left the director's…

Tim Allen must have a lot of friends in Hollywood. Otherwise, I have no idea how he could convince so many great actors to show up in his atrocious looking directorial debut, Crazy on the Outside. Allen stars as a man who spent three years in jail, and is now out trying to reconnect with…

I've been excited to hear more about Michael Bartlett's (The Zombie Diaries) upcoming time travel film, Timeless, ever since reading Quiet Earth's script review a few months ago. The script seemed to have a lot of promise, and it was also hinted that the film had a very unique approach to time travel---always a plus…

After the reveal that the main villains in Peter Berg's upcoming Battleship (can we even call it an adaptation?) will be aliens, the little enthusiasm I had for the project was almost entirely replaced by increased trepidation. It's tough enough to accept the fact that we're seeing a board game brought to life, but throwing…

Harlan Ellison is a notoriously prickly fellow. Aside from his many works, Ellison is infamous for his decade-long feud with Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry after he rewrote much of Ellison's only Trek episode, "The City on the Edge of Forever." Now that the franchise is in the hands of J.J. Abrams, Ellison is offering…

Warner Brothers has acquired Beautiful Creatures, the first of a five-novel southern Gothic fantasy series by authors Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl. The book is technically being released today, but the many positive reviews over at Amazon shows that it's been available to some for a few months. Richard LaGravanese (P.S. I Love You, Freedom…

Talking to EW, The Hangover director Todd Phillips gave the low down on the status of a sequel. He's currently midway through the script, although no plot details are known yet. Phillips mentioned that he was thinking of ideas for a sequel while they were filming, and that Warner Brothers asked for a sequel as…

Consider this another addition to the ever-increasing pile of vague factoids for Guillermo Del Toro's The Hobbit. According to TheOneRing.net, Peter Jackson mentioned to reporters (while doing press for The Lovely Bones) that they hope to begin filming towards the middle of next year, a delay from the film's previous March 2010 shooting plan. See…

Talk of an Inglourious Basterds prequel is nothing new. Back in June we reported on a GQ interview where Harvey Weinstein talked about the vast amounts of material Tarantino had prepped for Basterds, much of which could be compiled into other films and projects. Word was that the next film would be about a squad…

We haven't talked much about Daybreakers, the upcoming vampire film by writer/director siblings Michael and Peter Spierig, but the release of the film's extended TV trailer seems reason enough to shed some light on it. The film stars Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe in a world where vampires rule, and humans are a minority hunted…

This promo trailer for Gordon Chan's upcoming King of Fighters---yes, yet another fighting game film adaptation---is both simultaneously hilarious in its total cheese-factor, and also totally depressing when you remember that this guy directed Fist of Legend. Our friends over at Quiet Earth dug up this trailer, and I agree with them that this looks…

The prospect of Richard Linklater making a third film in the Before Sunrise/ Before Sunset series is terrifying to me. The first film was a perfect piece of twenty-something romance, and through some sort of miracle, Linklater was able to craft a superior second film that sees the characters ten years later in very different…
-
Advance word on James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin hasn't been too hot, but perhaps this newly released red band trailer can change your mind. Not surprisingly, it's blood drenched and features more gore than in previous trailers---and we also see far more extensive use of CG this time around. We've previously reported on footage of Rain…

Now this is truly bittersweet news to report. While in London for The Lovely Bones, Peter Jackson updated the BBC on the status of Steven Spielberg's Tintin and confirmed that filming is complete. The kicker? It'll take about two years for the computer animation to be completed (remember this is a 3D motion-captured CG film).…

Now that must have been one damn successful breakfast meeting. Apparently, comedian Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Human Giant) and director Jason Woliner (Human Giant, Players) recently sat down for breakfast with Judd Apatow and pitched him three ideas for future projects. To their surprise, Apatow wanted all three. Having worked together on Human Giant…

With an ever-ballooning hypothetical budget, it almost feels as if some are waiting to pull a "toldja!" if Avatar ends up being a massive flop for Fox. But apparently, they're not too worried. According to Reuters, Fox Filmed Entertainment chairman Jim Gianopulos says the $500 million budget predictions are "ridiculous", and he has "no doubt"…

It seems that Joe Dante's The Howling is now up for remaking. Tonight we've learned that Joe Nimziki, a former studio marketing executive, will be making his feature film debut with The Howling: Reborn. Nimziki also wrote the script. The original Howling spawned a series of sequels that, from what I can remember, were pretty…

With New Moon ruling the box office this weekend, director Chris Weitz must be glad to put the failure of The Golden Compass behind him. In fact, he admitted as much in Variety's announcement of his next project, The Gardener. He didn't hold back at all on trash talking New Line, just check out some…

It took me a while to get used to seeing Dawson Creek star Joshua Jackson in Fringe, but like the series itself, Jackson eventually found a groove that I enjoyed revisiting. Now it seems he's sticking with the supernatural themes from Fringe with his next project. Jackson has signed on for the lead in UFO,…

The casting news for Kenneth Branagh's Thor just keeps on coming. Recently we reported on the casting of The Warriors Three, and tonight we've learned that Idris Elba (The Wire's Stringer Bell, RocknRolla) has joined the cast as Heimdell, "the guardian of Asgard, he stands on the BiFrost Bridge ready to defend the city from…

The Apatow-verse still hasn't dealt with sequels as of yet, but it's bound to happen eventually. Yesterday Judd Apatow appeared on the Funny or Die Writer's Room and talked about topics ranging from his first project and living with Adam Sandler, to potential sequels for films he's directed or produced. In regards to the latter,…

Good news Chuck fans! Pretty much everything great that could be announced for the series prior to its season three return has happened today. The original plan was for the show to return in March, but we've learned that Chuck will be returning on Sunday, January 10, with two episodes back-to-back. The series will then…

Kevin McKidd deserves to be a bigger star than he is. The Rome and Journeyman star has been on Grey's Anatomy for the past year or so, but even that's not enough to get me watching Grey's again. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players will know him as the voice of Captain "Soap" MacTavish, and…

In TV news tonight: It looks like Aaron Sorkin is finally heading back to television after the failure of Studio 60, and you wouldn't believe what he's got planned according to TV Guide: I'm going to be starting on a new TV series. It's going to be what turns out to be the third in…
