• 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' Sequel Could Feature Casey Jones And Dimension X

    The big-screen revival of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has done well enough to warrant a sequel. And so TMNT 2 (or whatever the title will be) is already greenlit for a 2016 release. The first film didn't feature many fan-favorite elements from various previous Turtle incarnations, and it changed some of the stuff that…

  • Has Rapper Kid Cudi Been Cast In Platinum Dunes 'Ninja Turtles?'

    While fans have been very vocal regarding Michael Bay's comments about his company's upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, Ninja Turtles, one thing that hasn't really been discussed is the human element.

  • Michael Bay Producing His Own Low Budget Alien Invasion Project

    Briefly: We don't currently know much about the Confidential Alien Project (that's a placeholder title) outside of the fact that it will be a Paramount film and that new writer Bobby Glickert has sold an alien-themed pitch to Platinum Dunes producers Michael Bay, Brad Fuller and Andrew Form. THR says the plot involves 'alien abductions,'…

  • Platinum Dunes Takes Over New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Film

    Do you like your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ultra-gritty, 'realistic' and with a lot of violence, but without a lot of particularly interesting violence? Then you're in luck!

  • Ouija Board Movie Update: Not A Horror Movie, More Action-Adventure

  • The Birds Remake Back-Burnered, Rosemary's Baby Re-Do Still Happening?

    The notion of remaking Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds was absurd from day one, and now the Platinum Dunes guys are suggesting they've started to see the light. "We lay ourselves out there and get annihilated out there online all day long," said producer Brad Fuller during a chat with journos on the set of A…

  • Movie Review: Friday The 13th

    I'm of the opinion that the horror/slasher movie remakes we've seen in recent years aren't categorically a bad idea. Perhaps it's because the originals aren't terribly sacred to me but I'm actually mildly fascinated by the creative process that goes with unearthing old or foreign properties like The Hills Have Eyes or The Texas Chainsaw…

  • Platinum Dunes Explains Rosemary's Baby Remake. Fails. Makes Us Laugh.

    "Listen, we're going to have this remake, okay? And it's going to be great, babe." With their stint at Crystal Lake going swimmingly, Platinum Dunes slithered out of the devil's bedroom to talk about their upcoming remake of Roman Polanski's Rosemary's Baby a.k.a Why Not?

  • Platinum Dunes Producer Says Friday The 13th Reboot Will Have Everything It Should Have, Including An R-Rating

    Yesterday, Edward Norton released a winding mini-essay dismissing the bad buzz looming over The Incredible Hulk.
