The film’s original producers Don Hahn and directors Kirk Wise and Gary [...]

Rumors of He-Man’s death have been greatly exaggerated. LatinoReview has word that Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson might now be attached to the project after knocking one home in a pitch to  Joel Silver’s production company.
Stevenson has an extensive background in art direction and animation, starting out as a character designer on The Muppet [...]

David Cohen on Variety’s Thompson On Hollywood Blog says that Disney is probably planning to release a fourth Pirates of the Caribbean film in Digital Disney 3D. A couple weeks ago super-duper-producer Jerry Bruckheimer told us that screenwriters Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio are currently finishing up work on The Lone Ranger, before they start [...]

Back in September, we posted the first set photos of Mia Wasikowska as Alice in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. I noticed that the camera filming Wasikowska didn’t appear to be a 3D rig. At the time I wrote it off as possibly being one of the non-3D scenes from the start of the film, [...]

AICN has a long interview with director Spike Jonze, and some new photos from his adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are. I have included some of the interesting points below:

They “spent months just working on that voice shoot before we even shot a frame of the film.”
Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is [...]

The image above has been floating around the interwebs today (I’m not sure the exact origin, but I’ve been e-mailed it at least 9 times). Could this be a first look at Johnny Depp as The Madd Hatter in Tim Burton’s 3D adaptation of Alice in Wonderland? I don’t know. It looks pretty fake [...]

IndieWire’s Eugene Hernandez has seen David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and admits “that Benjamin Button is, on first viewing, hardly a lock for best picture,” but that “the attention that will justifiably be paid to its considerable technological achievements could sweep it into the higher profile categories.”
For example, Forrest Gump (also written [...]

Warner Bros has released a new trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Is it just me, or do the trailers for the Potter series seem to get more and more epic with each new film that is released? Even the title cue has an extremely epic take on John William’s original Potter theme. [...]

Twilight doesn’t hit theaters until next Friday, and Summit Entertainment has already aquired the rights to the next three novels in Stephenie Meyer’s vampire romance series.

The first reviews of David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button have begun to hit the Internet. It’s hard to make an assessment at this time [...]

Earlier this week we complained about the lack of theatrical posters for David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Looks like Paramount has sent a bath to theaters this week. Defamer snapped this photo at a recent multiplex screening. You might think the poster is in the frame backwards, but it isn’t. As you [...]

HBO has given the greenlight to film a pilot based on George R.R. Martin’s bestselling fantasy novel series A Song of Fire and Ice. The show will be titled A Game of Thrones, named after the first novel in the series. Martin has planned seven books in the series, and the plan is to turn [...]

Summit Entertainment premiered new footage from Twilight during Monday night’s Heroes. In related news, the autograph signing in San Francisco actually happened as scheduled, despite the mini riot that occurred earlier in the day.

Last week, I received a phone call from my local Summit Entertainment publicity rep, informing me that the stars of Twilight were going on the road for an autograph tour to publicize the release of the film adaptation next week. I posted about the appearances here. Before I got off the phone I warned my [...]

The film comes out in just a month and a half, and Paramount has not yet released a poster for David Fincher’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Not a teaser poster - NOTHING. In comparison, Watchmen comes out three months later and already has three different posters, not including the series of seven or [...]
