Since most of the major cast announcements have now been made, I thought we’d take a look at the cast of Matthew Vaughn’s big screen adaptation of Mark Millar’s Kick-Ass comic book.

18-year-old British actor Aaron Johnson has been cast as the title character, Dave Lizewski, a 15-year-old boy named Dave Lizewski who attempts to become [...]

I think almost everyone has been subjected to Arnold Shapiro’s documentary Scared Straight! in High School. But for those who haven’t, the film follows a group of delinquent teens who are brought into a maximum security prison to help them change their ways. Supposedly, many of the teens in the original program were, in fact, [...]

Alex Proyas showed an extended trailer for his upcoming thriller Knowing, which just finished shooting. The footage begins with a young girl standing in a school yard looking up at the sky. A teacher calls everyone inside, but Lucinda doesn’t move. Title card: Lexington, Massachusetts 1959. The teacher instructs the kids to draw pictures of [...]

IGN has the first trailer for Alex Proyas’ Knowing. My first impression is that the film looks rather generic and boring, which is sad considering how much I am rooting for Proyas. The director gained critical acclaim for his 1998 sci-fi thriller Dark City, but his follow-up efforts (I, Robot and Garage Days) have been [...]

Summit Entertainment has provided USA Today with our first official look at Nicolas Cage in Alex Proyas‘ Knowing. Proyas gained critical acclaim for his 1998 sci-fi thriller Dark City (an essential of any true film geek), but I’ve been extremely unimpressed with his follow-up efforts (I, Robot and Garage Days). Knowing certainly sounds interesting, but [...]

“Do we not have a bell?”

Too bad John McCain’s not a grizzled, old indie director. Zing. Wild and crazy guys, Werner Herzog (above) and Abel Ferrara (right), are exchanging heated words and grumpy disses in regard to Herzog’s 2009 remake of Ferrara’s Bad Lieutenant, with Nic Cage starring in the role once inhabited by [...]

MTV has a batch of new movie posters from Cannes. The three most interesting can be seen above:

Werner Herzog’s (Grizzly Man) remake of Bad Lieutenant starring Nicolas Cage.
Frank Darabont’s (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) Law Abiding Citizen which stars Gerard Butler as an assistant D.A. is targeted by a victim of the legal system [...]

Did Slashfilm piss off the Ghost of April Fool’s Day? Topping off a day of odd movie announcements and rumors, Variety reports that director Werner Herzog (Grizzly Man, Aguirre: Wrath of God) will helm a remake of Abel Ferrara’s NC-17 classic Bad Lieutenant starring Nicolas Cage in the title role, formerly inhabited, and fantastically so, [...]

Yesterday, Disney registered the domain named for NationalTreasure3DVD.com and NationalTreasure4DVD.com, spawning rumors that Walt Disney Pictures is planning back to back sequels. National Treasure 2: Book of Secrets was released 6 weeks ago, and has already earned over $365 million worldwide, already beating the overall take of the original 2004 film. So a sequel [...]

Disney has uploaded a sneak preview of a car chase sequence from National Treasure: Book of Secrets to help promote the sequel, which hits theaters on December 21st 2007. It’s your basic car chase sequence, nothing remotely special. Check out the National Treasure 2 Car Chase after the jump.

Some believe in Harvey Dent, but I believe in Darren Aronofsky. Requiem for a Dream is one of my favorite films of all time. The Fountain was on my top ten list from last year. But the filmmaker doesn’t have good luck with actors. Brad Pitt notoriously left Aronofsky hanging high and dry on The [...]

PageSix spotted Nicolas Cage and director Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain) at Saturday Night’s Ring of Honor professional wrestling event at the Manhattan Center ballroom. The duo were at the event researching the upcoming film The Wrestler, in which Cage plays an older wrestler named Randy “The Ram” Robinson. The pair stayed [...]

Last week we told you that Nicolas Cage was in talks to star in Robert Siegel’s The Wrestler, which is in development at Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures. ComingSoon is now reporting that Aronofsky is actually going to direct this film, which is targeted for a January 2008 start.
I had actually heard that Aronofsky’s The Fighter [...]

Nicolas Cage is in talks to star in The Wrestler, written by Robert Siegel. The film, which is in development at Darren Aronofsky’s Protozoa Pictures, follows a 1980s-era pro wrestling star named Randy “The Ram” Robinson who has become a burnt-out shell of his former self. Ram has a heart attack in a small-time match, [...]

Check out this very cool new poster for National Treasure: Book of Secrets. One thing Disney knows is how to design a killer poster. Too bad the film’s script isn’t up to the same level (Check out the previously released Movie Trailer). Check it out after the jump. National Treasure: Book of Secrets hits theaters [...]
