Several years ago we reported on a Black List script by Oren Uziel called The Kitchen Sink, a horror-sci-fi-comedy mashup that combined vampires, zombies, and aliens. Jonah Hill was originally set to direct, and then Robbie Pickering. A promising cast (including Bob Odenkirk and Patton Oswalt) was assembled, and then the updates slowed down and eventually…

FX has landed some major comedic star power for a bunch of new pilots. Billy Crystal has a show called The Comedian, Tracy Morgan has a show called Death Pact, Denis Leary has a show called Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll and that's not the half of it. There are 12 new pilots in…

Up until now, odds are Robbie Pickering's film Kitchen Sink hasn't been on your radar. That's about to change. The genre mashup written by Oren Uziel (who Sony also hired to write Men in Black 4 and 22 Jump Street 2) placed on The Black List, and was almost the directorial debut of Jonah Hill before Pickering (Natural Selection) came on…

In truth, the biggest problem with Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man isn't even really its own fault. But the fact that this reboot comes just five short years after the end of Sam Raimi's previous Spider-Man trilogy looms over the whole endeavor, making it difficult not to compare the two. It's a damn shame. Because…

The viral campaign for Sony and Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man hasn't been nearly as exciting as the one for Fox and Ridley Scott's Prometheus, but here's a new installment from the Spidey viral that makes a few things clear. We've wondered since the film was announced where classic Spidey character J. Jonah Jameson fits…

In the decade or so since the start of Fox's Ice Age series, the franchise has pulled in a range of high-profile stars including Jack Black, Will Arnett, Jay Leno, and Simon Pegg to compliment its central quartet of Ray Romano, John Leguizamo, Denis Leary, and Chris Wedge. This time around, for Steve Martino and Michael…

Sony has unveiled the official website for The Amazing Spider-Man, with several new images, character descriptions, a synopsis, and yes, the promise of more Spider-Man. It's not surprising that the studio's been working hard to market this film, but it is nice that most of what we've seen so far looks pretty good, with the…

Since the run-up to the release of Blue Sky Studios' Ice Age in 2002, the best spokesman -- spokesanimal? -- for the film series has been a creature that can barely speak. The acorn-obsessed Scrat, a sabre-toothed squirrel, has starred in trailers and shorts and is one of the most consistently entertaining parts of the…

Sometimes there's no way to make a casting roundup conform to any sort of sense. Such is the case here, as we've got info on a wild reality-based political thriller set in 1979, an animated sequel, and an indie family drama with a very unlikely cast. In other words, after the break you'll find info…

What is Marc Webb's new The Amazing Spider-Man about? We have little idea, other than that the Lizard (Rhys Ifans) factors in, and Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) and her father (Denis Leary) are tied to this new story about the young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). Now we know that Oscorp, the company founded by the…

What is Page 2? Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 32 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness. If…
Read More[No photo] And the Marvel photos just keep on coming. These, of Denis Leary as Captain George Stacy, father of Gwen Stacy, in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot, are decidedly less exciting than Spider-Man himself, Captain America or Thor. Still, anything we can give you from Spider-Man, we will, as has been made painfully obvious with…

Unlike he did in the Eighties, C. Thomas Howell will not be fighting Russians, Socs or racial stereotypes in Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot. We recently reported that he'd been cast in the film, starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, but were unsure who he might be playing. Entertainment Weekly has now revealed that the character's…

The latest small casting move on Marc Webb's Spider-Man reboot is the addition of Denis Leary, who is now negotiating to play the father of Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone). It's only a small casting move in the sense that the role might not be a very large one; regardless, Mr. Leary would be a welcome…

Trailers are an under-appreciated art form insofar that many times they’re seen as vehicles for showing footage, explaining films away, or showing their hand about what moviegoers can expect. Foreign, domestic, independent, big budget: I celebrate all levels of trailers and hopefully this column will satisfactorily give you a baseline of what beta wave I’m…

Denis Leary is funny and deprecating while he reviews every movie listed on his IMDb filmography including Operation Dumbo Drop, Who's The Man (or why he gets through the airport faster), Demolition Man (or why Wesley Snipes is insane), and The Ref (or how Ted Demme said "Fuck You" to Disney). Thanks to /Film reader…

One of our favorite new websites is NotStarring.com, a website that is dedicated to your favorite stars and the roles they didn't get. Recently they put up a section dedicated to the directors and stars who turned down roles in Oscar nominated movies. We're not sure about the accuracy, but that won't stop us from…
