  • Harry Brown Trailer Proves Michael Caine's Still Got It

    Clint Eastwood take note: This is what your old-man vigilante film should have looked like. The first trailer for Harry Brown hit the web a couple days ago, and it's instantly landed the film on my must watch list. The feature directorial effort from Daniel Barber, the film concerns Michael Caine's retired ex-marine character who…
  • Movie Review: Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs - An Unlikely Success

    Consider me shocked that Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is not only a good kids film, but a great comedy in general. The first film from former How I Met Your Mother and Clone High writer/producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller, Cloudy manages to take the premise from the classic children's book and transform…
  • Night Of The Living Dead Gets A 3D CGI Remake/Origin Story

    Now this was a remake I didn't see coming. THR's Heat Vision blog is reporting that George Romero's zombie classic, Night of the Living Dead, is going to be remade into a 3D CGI film by first-time director Zebediah de Soto.  The project, titled Night of the Living Dead: Origins, will have no involvement from…

  • Lost News: Not All Will Be Explained By The End, Franchise May Live On

    While speaking at a Seattle music and arts festival, Lost exec-producers Carlton Cuse, Eddy Kitsis, and Adam Horowitz dropped several morsels of goodness for fans. First off, they reiterated that we shouldn't expect every single mystery to be solved come the series finale at the end of season six. (And honestly, at this point, how…
  • Paranormal Activity Finally Gets A Release Date

    The ultra-low-budget horror film Paranormal Activity has been building praise for the past few years---after successful showings at the Screamfast and Slamdance film festivals, and most recently at Telluride. Anne Thompson is now reporting that the film is set for a September 25 release by Paramount. Given that the film was shot for $11,000 over…
  • Resident Evil Series Getting A Semi-Reboot

    Bloody Disgusting has confirmed that the Resident Evil franchise will be getting a slight reboot after the next film, Resident Evil 4: Afterlife. Tentatively titled Resident Evil Begins, the new project will take us away from the increasingly convoluted adventures of Milla Jovovich's Alice, and will potentially retread the events of the first film by…
  • Gorgeous Movie Trailer For Confucius, Starring Chow Yun Fat

    The trailer for Chow Yun Fat's next project, Confucius, recently hit the internet, and it's gathered quite a bit of attention. The trailer forgoes dialog completely, and instead we're treated to three minutes of gorgeously shot epic scenes, all set to a somber soundtrack. The film is directed by Mei Hu, a director I'm not…
  • Mike Judge Speculates On The Future Of Beavis And Butthead

    It seems that everyone has been swept over with a wave of Beavis and Butthead nostalgia after they were featured in a recent Extract promo, and I'm sure that trend will only continue after word gets out about what Mike Judge has been thinking of doing with them if given the chance.  Our colleague Katey…
  • When In Rome Movie Trailer

    I can track my reaction to this trailer for When in Rome in several distinct phases: Hurray, Kristen Bell! Lee Pace, don't mind if I do! Josh Dushamel, uhh okay. Danny Devito, do you really belong here? An unending string of pratfall gags---never a good sign. Shitty music---I'm really going to hate this trailer when…
  • New Writing Duo Joining J.J. Abrams On Mission: Impossible 4

    It looks like another pair of writers who worked with J.J. Abrams are being tasked with the screenplay for Mission: Impossible IV. Variety is reporting that Josh Applebaum and Andre Nemec, formerly co-exec producers on Alias, are working on the next entry in the MI series which will be co-produced by Abrams and Tom Cruise…
  • Rain To Star In Enter The Dragon Remake, Awaken The Dragon?

    Update: There's currently some debate as to whether Rain is up for the Bruce Lee role, or the villain role of the film. While it would honestly make more sense to have Rain take up Lee's mantle instead of an "established American actor", I can't say for certain since the source article isn't entirely clear.…
  • Netflix To Stream Early Seasons Of Lost And Other ABC Shows

    Of all the major television networks, ABC and CBS have been the most reluctant to get their streaming content outside of their own websites. But while CBS seems content to stay in their own playground, Disney has been taking active steps to bring ABC content to a wider online audience. A  few months ago they…
  • Futurama Cast Returning, Fox Pay Dispute Settled

    Update: Hitfix is reporting that John Dimaggio and Billy West haven't signed yet, but they're close.
