Maybe it’s a good thing that I’ve fallen behind on my Crisis on Infinite Comic Book Adaptations five parter (part one is here; part two is here) – I hadn’t yet gotten to Vertigo action comic The Losers, and my delay means that I can talk about it with the knowledge that a director has … Continue reading
I’ve been curious to see The Ten for a while — it’s Wet Hot American Summer / The State‘s David Wain basically giving the finger to Kieslowski for nintety minutes by making loosely connected comedy sketches based (sorta) on the Ten Commandments. Even if the title reminds me too much of that horrible pre-show ‘entertainment’ … Continue reading
SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LIVE COMMENTARY, STRAIGHT FROM EDGAR WRIGHT! I am so jealous of the British Chewers. Not only do your accents give you an unfair advantage with my local women, but now you’re getting a SECOND Hot Fuzztival… and this time not only are you going to see three … Continue reading
At this point I think I’m more interested in a movie about the behind the scenes dealings on The Invasion, Warner Bros’ updating of Invasion of the Body Snatchers than the actual film being released; original director Oliver Hirschbiegel didn’t make the studio happy with his talky take, and when he wouldn’t make changes producer … Continue reading

The wife of Mulder has been cast with Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear in prolific writer and Spielberg go-to-guy David Koepp’s upcoming directorial effort, Ghost Town. Ghost Town (as described here in … Continue reading
Despite their recent verbal commitment to the project, there’s still not much concrete news on Broken Lizard’s Super Troopers 2. And with that lack of movement, we’re looking at a wide open horizon for the boys where any number of projects they’ve talked about in the past could fill the void. Now they have to … Continue reading
Every time I look at the teaser poster for 30 Days of Night, I see 300. It’s the red, and the splatters, and the font. Oh, and the pose. The ‘based on the graphic novel’ tag has nothing to do with it, though. 30 Days of Night is indeed based on the graphic novel of … Continue reading
MTV News asked Zack Snyder about the Watchmen casting rumors that recently popped up on Aint It Cool News: will Patrick Wilson play Nite Owl, Keanu Reeves play Dr. Manhattan and Jude Law play Ozymandias? Snyder’s cagey. "Um — you know what? I would say ‘No,’ but then you’d call me later and go like, … Continue reading
