Is there a killer almost-a-movie that you’d consider trading a pinky to see on screen? For me, one such project will forever remain Batman: Year One from director Darren Aronofsky (Pi, Requiem For a Dream, The Wrestler). There was a time when Aronofsky and Christopher Nolan seemed neck and neck for the reinvention of Batman [...]

Look at C. Thomas Howell in the yearbook photo above. Today’s teens need to aim higher. Emptying today’s “post-9/11″ quota is screenwriter Carl Ellsworth (Disturbia, Y: The Last Man adaptation) who will pen the remake of 1984’s Red Dawn, the beloved Russian invasion teen patriot movie that inspired Toy Soldiers and many a neighborhood ground [...]

A teaser poster for MGM’s RoboCop reboot made an appearance at the NY Licensing Show via AICN. While the above art is not a definitive measure of what to expect, it’s our first look at how faithful the character design will remain to the original. Of course, the above RoboCop could stand atop a trusty [...]

During a presentation at the Cannes Film Festival, MGM chairperson Mary Parent mentioned that the company is toying around with the possibility of making more Rocky films. Parent’s big buzzword of the presentation was “franchise”. And she believes Rocky Balboa might have some more fight in him before he calls it quits for good.
Why? Why! [...]

If the trailer for the direct-to-DVD sequel/remake of the 1983 cult classic hacker film WarGames didn’t scare you off, than I don’t know what will. How about the cover art from the upcoming DVD release? Is it just me or does this look like the cover of a crappy novel you’d find in the bargain [...]

Pan’s Labyrinth and Hellboy director Guillermo del Toro has OFFICIALLY signed on to direct The Hobbit and it’s sequel. The Hobbit sequel, which is currently untitled will deal with the 60-year period between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

When I met actor turned screenwriter Dan Callahan at a Los Angeles party, he described his upcoming film College as Superbad but less smart and more vulgar, a call back to the raunchy teen comedies from my youth (Porky’s…etc). The official movie trailer has finally been revealed, and can be watched below.
And yes, my first [...]

Viacom, MGM and Lionsgate have teamed for a new, yet-to-be-named, cable pay-channel which hopes to compete with HBO, Showtime and Starz. Showtime previously had a deal with Viacom to air their new films, but the money was not enough.
Here are the details direct from the press release: The new venture will have access to Paramount [...]

“Slide to the left, now slide to the right.”
The Internets today: Tom Cruise’s career is on life support, yadda yadda. Is the Internets correct? I’m not fond of talking about Tom Cruise around the water cooler, but I’d say the Internets are wrong. Does that make me a relevant revolutionary? United Artists, which is headed [...]

And you thought The Lost Boys direct-to-dvd sequel looked bad… take a look at  MGM’s direct to dvd sequel to one of my all-time favorite movies - the classic 1983 sci-fi hacker film WarGames. And sadly, NO, this is NOT an April Fools Day joke…
WarGames: The Dead Code stars Matt Lanter as a computer geek [...]

At a party a couple weeks ago I got to talk to Dan Callahan, an actor who wrote wrote a film called College, which was originally scheduled to be released last month. I’m not entirely sure what happened, but you can be sure it was one of those Hollywood situations where somehow the film went [...]

Yesterday I posted a new Behind the scenes photo from Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie. Turns out the Empire Magazine has two more, which can be seen above and below.

The new issue of Empire Magazine has a new photo from Bryan Singer’s Valkyrie, which stars Tom Cruise as Col. Claus von Stauffenberg, a German General who plots to assassinate Adolph Hitler at the height of World War II.  Also, dewfs snapped this photo (seen below) of the Berlin set of additional photography a couple [...]

“Man, you guys didn’t go see my Bigfoot movie.”
There’s this pair of shorts, the coolest shorts on Earth in my estimation, that I found on South Beach for $5. I think they’re from the ’70s. Every time I open a drawer to get some socks, I see the shorts and know that my [...]

Mark Neveldine has confirmed that Crank 3 will be shot in 3-D.
“We were actually thinking of trying to do RED 3-D for GAME for a while,” Brian Taylor revealed to Collider. “We think it’s the way things are going. The problem for us is that the rigs are still a little too cumbersome. They’re a [...]
