Warner Bros and Lucasfilm have released two new posters for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. The first emulates the design of Struzan’s classic posters while using the new school computer animated stylized characters.

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin [...]

The Family Guy Star Wars parody Blue Harvest was a huge hit. You might have heard that they’re almost finished production on a follow-up which takes on The Empire Strikes Back. Seth MacFarlane revealed at a Television Critics Association panel that he would like to take on Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan “if Paramount [...]

Andrew Stanton’s use of two songs from the Hello, Dolly! soundtrack in the latest Pixar computer animated feature has garnered interest on Broadway. No, they aren’t going to make WALL-E the musical… And how could you make a musical about a robot that doesn’t talk? As I type this I’m sure Disney Imagineers are crafting [...]

This review has two spoilers and they are labeled as such in the article.
If that twat Leona Helmsley had seen Wall-E she probably would have left $8 billion to an unkempt robot trash compactor. Or by default Pixar. The nonpareil animation studio’s ninth film is arguably their best, a touchstone for the current culture that [...]

Rumor has it that the lead role of Alice has been cast in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. The latest name to enter the rumor mill is Ryan Nikole Parker (pictured right), a virtual unknown with only a few television credits (One Life to Live, Kids Incorporated and American Idol).
Other names circling the rumor mill [...]

“Feed me, feed me comics,” booms Hollywood. According to TheGoon.com, /Film fave, David Fincher, has optioned movie rights for The Goon with plans to adapt the Dark Horse comic book into a CG animated film from Blur Studio.

This currently places the film at #9 on IMDb’s top 250 movies of all time, behind only Godfather 1 and 2, Shawshank Redemption, Good Bad and Ugly, Pulp Fiction, Schindlers List, One [...]

For many months, you’ve read about Wall-E, the latest attempt at cinematic greatness from Pixar, here on Slashfilm. Like a diamond-studded chariot, the big day has arrived. Is this Pixar’s best film? Is it a masterpiece? Was the hype justified? Does it deserve a nom for Best Picture as many critics feel (97% positive on [...]

Pixar is known to fill their films with fun easter eggs and WALL-E is no different. Here are some of the things you probably missed:

The Pizza Planet Truck: The truck has appeared in every Pixar movie since Toy Story (although its pretty hard to find in The Incredibles as its pretty much a blur in [...]

WALL-E isn’t just another animated family film, or even just another Pixar movie for that matter. Andrew Stanton has created a masterpiece on the same level as recent classics like There Will Be Blood, The Departed, Pan’s Labyrinth and Children of Men. It is a universal film with timeless appeal. I wouldn’t be surprised if [...]

A couple weeks ago I got the chance to enter the Pixar Animation Studios campus in Emmeryville to interview Finding Nemo director Andrew Stanton about his latest film WALL-E. When Stanton entered the room he told me that he reads /Film “all the time”, how cool is that? A big portion of our conversation was [...]

Earlier today, Peter reported on the race to the screen between two new Greek mythology epics inspired by 300. The flip side of this news is that both director Zack Snyder and 300 producers, Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari (who are also producing one the aforementioned epics) confirmed to Collider at the Saturn Awards that [...]

Disney has released the trailer for Bolt. Does anyone else find it ironic that an Elvis Presley song is used in the trailer for a movie in which Lilo & Stitch director Chris Sanders was removed as director? I talked about the controversy behind this project last week, if you haven’t had a chance, check [...]

Kung Fu Panda was the first non-Pixar computer animated film that I really enjoyed. When I saw the film a few months back, I said to one of my friends “This is gonna be huge, lets hope they don’t f**k it up by making a sequel.” Well guess what… A story crew has already begun [...]
