What happens when a movie studio has no money to promote a crappy movie? I'm in Colorado right now on the beginning leg of my 28 Days of Film adventure, but back home in San Francisco, the sidewalks around the city have been vandalized, apparently by 20th Century Fox. Curbed took a photo of one…

If you really, really want bad things to happen to Disaster Movie, and the movie's directors/hacks, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer Water, paste the following in the comments: Necronomicon Xmortis Juno. Thanks. If their film suffers a horrible…

It's official. Slashfilm is in the midst of a 2008 Vin Diesel dunkirk. Not only did the muscled actor inexplicably drop the "Riddick is back, no matter what!

They're really playing up the dystopian poncho fashion with the new poster and teaser trailer for the perma-looming Vin Diesel sci-fi vehicle Babylon A.D. Might the eventual tagline be "This way late summer, put on your poncho as we journey into a future where anything can happen and it rains a lot"? You'll find out…

Earlier this week we reported that Babylon A.D. was scheduled to hit theaters on February 29th, but is now being pushed back to August 29th 2008. I speculated that a six month push back probably means that Mathieu Kassovitz's film has problems. Now the good guys at Twitch are reporting that "Europeans are getting a…

I'm in LA La Land covering junkets, and the news is pretty thin, so I've decided to run with some of the interesting release date change announcements. First up is Vin Diesel's sci-fi film Babylon A.D. We mentioned this film last night because the teaser poster premiered at ShowEast. Mathieu Kassovitz's film was scheduled to…

Alex at FirstShowing has scored the poster for Vin Diesel's upcoming sci-fi movie Babylon A.D. I know, I know, it's Vin Diesel, and you probably don't care, but the poster looks kinda bad ass (but not completely bad ass).
