An Empire Records musical is in the works with the hope of heading to Broadway. Will 90s nostalgia turn this into a hit, or is it just grasping at straws?

I suppose 32-year-old Ben Savage is technically old enough to have a 13-year-old daughter, but it still feels weird to see him playing the proud dad instead of the confused kid on Girl Meets World, doesn't it? Also after the jump: Darren Aronofsky and HBO ditch Michael Chabon's Hobgoblin FX's The Strain adds John Hurt; Liv…

While it wasn't a universally lauded smash on the order of Beasts of the Southern Wild, Robot & Frank proved a minor hit at this year's Sundance Film Festival thanks to strong central performances and a fun premise. Frank Langella plays the titular Frank, an elderly crank whose grown children (Liv Tyler and James Marsden)…

Ti West is really moving forward with his next film, the sci-fi tinged thriller The Side Effect. (Which we formerly referred to as The Side Effects, and which I still suspect will get a new title, as Steven Soderbergh is making a movie called Side Effects.) Just days ago we pointed out an interview where…

Sundance entry The Ledge, in which Terrence Howard plays a detective who is trying to talk Charlie Hunnam out of killing himself, has always seemed like one of those movies. A known but not terribly high-powered cast; a big setup; and a story that seems to uncomfortably weave a discussion about religion into the narrative.…

Here is the trailer for James Gunn's weird and probably, as the quote suggests, very inappropriate super hero movie Super. Rainn Wilson looks like he is perfectly cast as a guy who creates a costumed alter-ego after his hot wife (Liv Tyler) dumps him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon). Ellen Page is the young…

James Gunn made his film Super, starring Rainn Wilson as an average guy who creates a costumed alter-ego after his wife (Liv Tyler) leaves him for a drug dealer (Kevin Bacon), on a tiny budget and with a great deal of freedom. There's something appropriate about the story of a weird, homegrown 'superhero' becoming a…

Upon first reading about The Ledge, it felt like one of those classic Sundance Film Festival movies that could breakout and be a hit. It has a well-known cast, an experienced writer/director and a story that's easily digestible. The story is about how and why a man on the ledge of a building is ready…

Last night it was reported that Elijah Wood was part of a group of actors shortlisted to return for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit. This left a lot of people confused, as The Hobbit takes place before Wood's character Frodo Baggins is even born. But now the official Lord of the Rigns fansite confirms that (as…
Read MoreI was one of the many who really loved James Gunn's Slither, and have been highly looking forward to his follow-up. Super premiered on Friday night as part of the Midnight Madness line-up of the Toronto International Film Festival. The film stars Rainn Wilson as a man who decides to become a super hero after…

James Gunn's strange homemade superhero film Super, starring Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler and Kevin Bacon, will soon premiere at the Toronto Film Festival. (On September 10, to be exact.) In anticipation of that event, Gunn has offered up the first still image showing Page and Wilson together. We saw them in footage debuted…

So many of my favorite movie experiences are the result of seeing films during the Midnight Madness program at the Toronto International Film Festival. The program perches like a beast ready to devour the more 'respectable' films at TIFF. While seeing films at the fest is great, period, there's nothing quite like catching the world…

I'd been looking forward to seeing footage from James Gunn's strange low-fi superhero movie Super, and Comic Con provided the goods. I really liked what I saw; Gunn has come up with a no-frills, low-budget approach that lets him play with some characters that are possibly quite sick and twisted. It's the world of underround…

I've never understood the fascination at Comic-Con with wanting to see panels for movies that audiences already know everything about. To me, Super is the epitome of what makes this place special: getting to be the first to discover and experience the geekiest projects worth getting excited about in the years ahead, right alongside the…

Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson will feature in The Ledge, a "suspense thriller" (as opposed to non-suspenseful thrillers) that will mark the feature debut of writer/director Matthew Chapman. Terrence Howard and Charlie Hunnam co-star in the film about "a man (Hunnam) standing on a high-rise ledge who insists he must jump by noon as the…
Read MoreI love me some James Gunn, so it warms my geek heart to see that he's assembling quite the cast for his post-Slither feature film follow-up Super. The film stars Rainn Wilson as Frank, a man who transforms himself into a superhero named Crimson Bolt --- despite having no real powers --- after his addict…

Twitter snoops and the /Film faithful may recall that James Gunn and Rainn Wilson have been out on the town, shopping around their superhero project. The first deals seem to have been brokered now and the big announcements have hit: the film will be called Super and is also set to star Liv Tyler and…

Today, The Incredible Hulk opens in face of months of fanboy speculation (early consensus is quite positive), the looming memory of Ang Lee's Bruce Banner, M. Night's worst R-rated movie, and the celebration of Jason Voorhees. We want to hear what you thought of the big budget Marvel/Universal film all weekend long. Things to consider:…

When all is said and done, will The Incredible Hulk take the spot on our Fave Movies of Summer '08 listicles previously reserved for Indy and Spielberg? For months, the redo's marketing, CGI, behind the scenes differences, and purpose have been scrutinized beneath formidable anticipation for The Dark Knight, Iron Man and Hellboy 2. Early…
Read MoreUpdate: Added Third Clip. Universal has released two new clips from The Incredible Hulk. I've been saying this for months, but I think Hulk will be the sleeper hit of the summer (maybe not in box office sales, but with fans). The first clip, which is available in HD on Yahoo or embedded below, features…

It all comes down to this new trailer for The Incredible Hulk, with the Marvel reboot's release on June 13th fast approaching and its positioning as the caboose of summer superhero flicks pretty much a lock as far as expectations and buzz go. This second trailer is far more well-rounded than the first in my…
