The Weinstein Co has released the movie poster for their latest animated effort Igor. The film promises to bring a new twist to the classic monster genre. In a world filled with Mad Scientists and Evil Inventions, one talented evil scientist’s hunch-backed lab assistant has big dreams of becoming a Mad Scientist himself and winning [...]

At Sundance 2008 I had a chance to speak with documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) about his new film Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? which hits theaters today. Listen to the full interview below. We’ve included a chapter guide so that you can skip to the best parts. I recommend [...]

We haven’t yet received clarification regarding the apparent removal of Brandon Routh’s vampire role in The Informers, but Bloody Disgusting reports that the Superman Returns actor is a lock for the lead role in an adaptation of the supernatural comic book Dylan Dog. Director Kevin Munroe, who helmed the rather abysmal TMNT for Imagi, has [...]

Dimension Films has acquired the rights to remake the 1986 cult favorite Short Circuit.  Yet again, Hollywood has run out of new ideas and has decided to remake an old one. I’m sure someone at The Weinstein Co probably noticed a poster for Pixar’s upcoming WALL-E, and after having the standard “that looks like Johnny [...]

MTV has the first five minutes from Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden. Watch the video clip below.

Discuss: What do you think?

He didn’t ensnare America’s version of Mumm-Ra, so how does one market rascally documentarian Morgan Spurlock’s Where In the World is Osama bin Laden? With a goofy camel and a lasso, duh! The final poster for Spurlock’s April follow-up to 2004’s Super Size Me has landed over at Cinematical, and I think it’s a step [...]

Update (04/01/08): JoBlo reports via a reader who attended the same event as Bloody Disgusting that Danny Trejo said that Robert Rodriguez may “start up again” on Machete as early as this month. More on this as/if it develops…
Gore hounds and knife show infomerical zombies, rejoice! In yet more machete-related news, Blood Disgusting ran into [...]

The official Zack and Miri Makes a Porno website (zackandmiri.com) features some new photos and the first we’ve seen of the film’s production logo. I like it, but it should be noted that writer/director Kevin Smith warns it is only a production logo:
“It was the production logo: on all the stationary, the chair-backs, the slate. [...]

“How did we end up in Steve Brill’s mind?”

BRILL-IANT UPDATE: Slashfilm reader “Sam R” put together this Brill-iant prototype design for t-shirts. Too good to leave it shining in our comments section like a diamond-studded chariot. Click here to witness the Slash-tastic work! Also, see Sam’s new shirt design on Zazzle. And be sure [...]

Earlier today we wrote about how Star Wars fanboys were planning on boycotting The Weinstein Co’s Superhero Movie due to the way the company is handling the release of Fanboys. I just received a press release from The Weinstein Co, announcing that they would be releasing both cuts of the film on DVD “with the [...]

Star Wars fans are still very angry over The Weinstein Co’s horrible handling of Fanboys. Their movement has gained a bunch of mainstream press, including the New York Post, the Daily Telegraph, Vanity Fair, and thousands of websites. The group is now organizing Stop Darth Weinstein Protests in New York and Los Angeles on March [...]

Kevin Smith has updated his fans on the post-production of his latest, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Kevin revealed that the 110-page shooting draft resulted in a first cut that was “over two and a half” hours long. 25 minutes have since hit the cutting room floor, and Smith gives us the following update:
“At [...]

Three days ago we came across a production listing for Rambo 5 on an international film news website. The rumored next installment in Sylvester Stallone’s second biggest franchise was listed to shoot on one or more new sound stages now being constructed in Bulgaria by a major European production studio. While Sly has played [...]

John Rambo, stayin’ alive? Today on Screen Daily it was reported that Rambo 5 is scheduled to film in the Bulgarian capital of Sofia. Nu Boyana Studios, a substantive production house for Southeastern Europe, is building 10 new sound stages in the area, and apparently the next installment in the Sylvester Stallone war-vet franchise is [...]
