Two film tech tidbits for you: First up, we've caught word from the Italy-based blog screenWEEK that Michael Mann is apparently very interested in doing a 3D feature at some point.

Today we've learned via the LA Times that Steve Martin, a veteran host of the ceremony, and Alec Baldwin, a newcomer, will be sharing the hosting duties for the 82nd Academy Awards.…

I think it's the nose. Owen Wilson has signed on to play the voice of everybody's favorite Great Dane, Marmaduke, in Fox's upcoming live action/CG adaptation of the comic strip. The script "sees Marmaduke navigate a volatile Mutts vs. Pedigrees turf war, woo the purebred of his dreams and overcome a fall from grace." Blame…

Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden are the sort of creative team you can't help but love. The duo have given us such recent gems as Half Nelson and Sugar, so you can bet I've been keeping a close eye on their next project, a dramedy entitled It's Kind of a Funny Story, based on the…

I'm currently feeling a bit overloaded on George Clooney, what with his upcoming roles in The Men Who Stare at Goats, Up in the Air, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. After not seeing him on the big screen since Burn After Reading, it now feels like we're facing an onslaught on Clooney projects. Now, we may…

Following up on the previous news about the Terminator franchise rights being up for sale, self-proclaimed "Very Important Hollywood Mogul" Joss Whedon has penned a hilarious note to the franchise owners in an attempt to acquire the franchise with a mighty fine $10,000 check. Says Whedon: "That's four -- FOUR! -- zeroes after that one.…

Things are moving along (albeit slowly) with Ang Lee's adaptation of the fantasy novel Life of Pi. Speaking recently with Digital Spy, Lee mentioned that he's recently turned in his first draft of the script, and that we can probably expect it in two years. He hasn't thought about casting as of yet. The story…

Those of you anxiously awaiting for Hugh Jackman to commit to another Oscar ceremony should probably line up for Broadway tickets, because you won't be seeing him on the Oscar stage this year.

We learned that Columbia was finally moving forward with a third Men in Black movie back in April, but at the time there was no script attached to the project. While there still isn't much to report yet, we have learned that they've tapped the now-hot writer Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder, Idiocracy) for the screenplay.…

Like many, I'm eagerly awaiting Richard Kelly's upcoming sci-fi thriller The Box. I've loved pretty much everything I've seen promoting the film, and the clip below has ramped up my excitement even further.

Last week, Hulu lovers across the Internet had a collective heart attack when a high ranking News Corp. executive expressed skepticism over their current strategy of making content available for free with ads. He went on to say that Hulu will probably start charging for content in 2010. Many in the tech blogosphere have already…

Now this isn't the follow up to The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 that I was expecting. Variety reports that Tony Scott has signed on to adapt the story of Chippendales founder Somen "Steve" Banerjee, who rose to fame in the 1980s (apparently the heyday of male strip clubs). The film will be written…

Now this seems like a winning combination. Zach Galifianakis has been riding a rocket of success following his scene-stealing performance in The Hangover, and Amy Adams is simply always fun to see on screen. The two are currently in talks for the next film by John Carney, director of Once, which was among my favorite…

Not surprisingly, it seems that things are going well for January Jones's career after her great work in Mad Men. In a recent page 3, we mentioned that Jones would be joining Diane Kruger and Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male. Now it seems she has another theatrical project lined up. Jones will be starring…

Oh Adam Sandler, has it really come to this? You've now sunk to cross-dressing for a paycheck? We've learned tonight that Sandler will star in the romantic comedy Jack and Jill, and he'll be playing both the titular Jack and his twin sister Jill. I'm assuming the romance isn't between the siblings---although that would probably…

The casting news tonight is all over the place: First we have Billy Bob Thornton teaming up with Dwayne Johnson in Faster, a George Tillman Jr. (Men of Honor, Notorious) action drama vehicle. Johnson will star as Driver, an ex-con out for revenge following his brother's murder. Thornton plays Cop, a (you guessed it) police…

It appears that David Schwimmer is leaving the comedy genre for his latest directorial project, Trust, a dark drama starring Clive Owen and Catherine Keener. (And yes, typing out that last sentence did seem a bit trippy.) Owen and Keener will play parents who are shocked to learn that their teenage daughter (played by Liana…

I haven't had much reason to look forward to the upcoming remake of Charles Bronson's The Mechanic. Sure, having Jason Statham in the lead role as a weary hit man seems like an easy sell, but you have to temper that with the fact that Simon West (Con-Air, Tomb Raider) is directing. I had relegated…

Update: It looks like the studio is hunting down this trailer online and removing it from various sites. We'll see if we can get another version of it up soon. You will watch this trailer and believe you've been transported to another decade. This three minute promo for The Expendables---Sylvester Stallone's latest project as writer/director/star---has…

I suppose we should just get used to seeing Anna Paquin and her True Blood co-star/real life fiance together all the freaking time. The couple are now starring in a new thriller, Open House, directed and written by Paquin's brother Andrew. His past credits don't suggest much, but I suppose having some hot stars in…

Along with Park Chan-wook, Bong Joon-ho is one of the many great cinematic talents that heralded a new wave of film-making from South Korea. He's perhaps most famous for his brilliant family-centered monster film, The Host, and his previous effort Memories of Murder breathed new life into the police procedural. While doing rounds for his…

At a recent press conference held to celebrate the upcoming DVD/Blu-ray release of Star Trek, J.J. Abrams was on hand to chat about his upcoming projects.

Word has been trickling out about the Joss Whedon/Drew Goddard co-written project Cabin in the Woods for some time now, and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't getting psyched for the film's release this February (on my birthday, no less!). Now according to our friends over at ShockTillYouDrop, we'll have to wait a…

Things haven't been so great for Wesley Snipes post-Blade 3. He appeared in a string of direct-to-video action movies, ran into a bit of tiff with the federal government, and pretty much seemed to fall of the radar. Now it looks like Snipes' luck could be changing for the better: He has a role in…

It seems like it's taken forever for the U.S. release of John Woo's epic Red Cliff, but now it's finally scheduled for a November release -- and we have the U.S. trailer to prove it. Even though it's taken us so long to get the film domestically, we're still getting screwed over since we're receiving…
