Last week it was announced that Sacha Baron Cohen has been cast as Holmes, and Will Ferrell as Watson, in a comedic take on Sherlock Holmes for producer Judd Apatow. But many wondered what this would mean for Guy Ritchie’s serious take on the property, which was announced in June? Well it turns out that [...]

Hearts of Darkness was a famous documentary which chronicled the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s epic war film Apocalypse Now.
Rain of Madness is a mockumentary chronicling the fictional war movie that is the subject of the upcoming Ben Stiller comedy Tropic Thunder. A trailer has been released online.
Judging by the trailer. the concept is actually [...]

Paramount has released a new international movie trailer for Tropic Thunder. And while it might not be as hilarious as the previously released red band trailer, it’s still pretty damn funny. Even with the fart joke. Ddi you know fart jokes are huge overseas? Apparently so. Could this be the funniest war comedy of all [...]

Hot Toys’ 1/6th-scaled Ion Man, Batman, Batpod and Tumbler were on display at the 2008 Tokyo Toy Show. No word on street dates or price, but boy are these sweet. I’m amazed at the incredible detail. Even the replaceable sculpts of Christian Bale and Robert Downey Jr are incredibly accurate. And if you aren’t impressed [...]

Robert Downey Jr. is in negotiations to star the big screen adaptation of the graphic novel Cowboys & Aliens. The project has been in development for the last ten years, even though the comic book was only released a couple years go (it was pitched for years before it was ever actually written). I haven’t [...]

As we’ve previously reported, Brett Ratner wants Robert Downey Jr. to portray American publisher Hugh Hefner in his biopic Playboy. EW has listed a few other projects that he’s currently rumored for, most notably Warner Bros. and Guy Ritchie’s upcoming big budget revamp of Sherlock Holmes. What else?
“In recent weeks, the 43-year old actor has [...]

A new TV spot for The Incredible Hulk features Tony Stark/Robert Downey Jr. Yes, we all knew that he was set to appear in the film, but [...]

DreamWorks has released a first look at Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey Jr. in The Soloist from today’s edition of USA Today. Written by Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) and directed by Joe Wright (Atonement), The Soloist tells the true story of Nathaniel Ayers (played by Foxx), a musical prodigy who developed schizophrenia during his second [...]

Tropic Thunder Viral Video by MTV Movie Awards
The Pitch: I know we don’t give the MTV Movie Awards much credit, but each year they usually have a couple pre-taped segments which are pretty funny. This year the segment everyone is talking about involved Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr planning a vial [...]

“Peace sign or eye gouge?”
Before we begin, there is something you must know about Brett Ratner. Similar to the combination of gremlins and water, when the moon is right and Ratner applies baby powder to his ass, out pop multiple epic-ly shitty movies. Tonight, it was thick. The trades are reporting that Ratner is [...]

“Grotto!?!”
Over the last six months, I’ve had four unrelated sources tell me off the record that Robert Downey Jr. was a total lock to star in a Hugh Hefner biopic entitled Playboy. Of course, this was before Iron Man’s grosses went interstellar. Chicago’s Sun Times now reports that the actor is close to signing [...]

A farm hand so retarded he’d make Sean Penn blush with envy. A blatant diss at Eddie Murphy (who really needs Inglorious Bastards). Another generous helping of Robert Downey Jr. as an angry black man. Nick Nolte bustin’ capillaries like squibs (on the job). And, well, a requisite death-to-throwaway-foreign-kid, but Rambo already pwned that jingo [...]

Our friends at First Showing having confirmed that Captain America’s red, white and blue shield appears near the 1 hr 30 min mark in Iron Man. I looked for a better screen grab, but haven’t found one clearer than that above. The scene is the one where Pepper Potts/Gwyneth Paltrow walks in on [...]

Yesterday we ran a report about how director Jon Favreau is not yet signed on to Iron Man 2. We noted that most of the stars have contract stipulations which allow up to two-sequels, concluding that Robert Downey Jr. is signed on for the sequel. Well apparently while that is the case, Downey Jr. is [...]

Last we reported, Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury had been waxed off the final cut of Iron Man, but fortunately that’s not the case. As MovieHole points out, Fury/Jackson does appear but not until after the surefire blockbuster’s end credits. He also delivers some spoiler-worthy dialogue [Slashfilm pistol fires in air], which we have after [...]
