Cormac McCarthy is helping delay the production of the new Blade Runner film. The author recently sold a spec screenplay called The Counselor, about a respected lawyer who tries to get into the drug trade without being completely pulled in, but quickly finds that he’s out of his depth.
The script sale led to the quick attachment of director Ridley Scott. (Who was trying to develop an adaptation of McCarthy’s novel Blood Meridian a couple years back.) Now it looks like The Counselor will be Scott’s next film, and Michael Fassbender could be in the title role. Read More »

We’ve seen the poster, the set photos, the hi-res stills, and no fewer than three separate trailers for the trailer — and now, at long last, the first trailer for Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus has arrived. Starring Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, the sci-fi horror film serves as a kind of prequel to 1979′s Alien, though the filmmakers and cast have been careful to emphasize that it works as a standalone film as well.
And indeed, while fans of the series will undoubtedly be thrilled to see the nods to previous installments, there’s enough good stuff here to interest even those who haven’t thought about the franchise in fifteen years. Watch the trailer after the jump.

Fox is pushing this a little far at this point, but with the release of the third tease for the trailer for Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, we at least get many glimpses of behind the scenes footage. The two teases we’ve seen so far got us ready for the trailer release, which is scheduled for tomorrow, but we’ll take the third, just because things are slowing down as we approach Christmas.
As a bonus, we’ve also got a new still image from the movie. If you’ve been hungry to see Michael Fassbender wielding a flashlight, this is the one for you. Read More »
Well, this is a trailer for a trailer, but it still has some of the first footage most of you will see from Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus. This is some of the same video that was shown in Hall H at Comic Con this summer, with Ridley Scott sitting on a set that looks like it came right out of Alien. (And he is still trying to say that this movie is only barely connected to Alien!) There isn’t much here, but I imagine it will be more than enough to get you excited about what we’ll see when Prometheus really makes its grand debut when the trailer drops this Thursday. Hit the jump for the preview.
Update: There is a second preview video that seems like it was meant to arrive tomorrow, but which has been found online early. Read More »
Just over a week ago we saw the first real batch of photos from Ridley Scott‘s Alien prequel, Prometheus. I’m anxiously awaiting the first real trailer for the film, having seen the Comic Con footage and a glimpse of the bad trailer bootleg that also surfaced last week. (It’s not worth watching, so don’t bother to seek out the bootleg if you haven’t already seen it — seriously, just wait for the real thing.) I don’t know if this film is going to be any good, but I think it is going to be a joy to look at, if nothing else.
To tide us over until the trailer hits, here are the same images that were released not long ago, but in very nice high-res quality. Now you can check out all the little details. From these few images the ‘Alien DNA’ that Ridley Scott mentioned when announcing the movie is so very apparent. And, as I’m sure others have remarked, doesn’t that giant head look more than a bit like original Alien conceptual artist and effects designer H.R. Giger? Alien DNA, indeed.

Here’s the trade-off for two new Terrence Malick movies going into production with Christian Bale in 2012: the actor now won’t have time to star in Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah. Bale was never officially cast, but we’ve known since this summer that he was the actor Darren Aronofsky really wanted to lead the cast of his big event-film retelling of the biblical story.
With Bale set to do two Malick films in 2012, however, he’s well out of the running for Noah. There is a very good second choice on the horizon, however: Michael Fassbender, who despite being one of the most wanted actors around right now, has a relatively open schedule for 2012. Read More »
Shame, the new collaboration between Hunger director Steve McQueen and star Michael Fassbender, is about to open in limited release this weekend after months of built-up interest following the film’s festival debut. The picture quickly earned a certain notoriety for explicit sexual content, with an NC-17 rating handed down from the MPAA.But Fox Searchlight didn’t run from the rating. Instead, the studio embraced the tag and is using Shame as sort of a small rallying cry for the acceptance of truly mature entertainment.
Now, just before the public at large gets a chance to see the movie, Fox Searchlight has released a red-band trailer for Shame. You might expect something wildly explicit given the film’s rating and reputation. But this is actually quite a well-done trailer that suggests a lot more than it shows. (There is some sex and nudity, yes.)
Hit the break for a sexually-charged train ride that is like the bastard son of ideas from Alfred Hitchcock and Darren Aronofsky. Read More »
