I have read that the film SOB was at least partially inspired by Blake Edward’s true life interest in making a hardcore adaptation of The Joy Of Sex. It obviously never happened, and after watching Michael Winterbottom’s 9 Songs, I have decided that maybe that’s a good thing. Winterbottom’s film has gotten a lot of … Continue reading
Second-hand smoke really does kill. At least when it has hook-handed specters contained within. In the remake of John Carpenter’s 1980 weather-horror flick The Fog, an angry cloud of billowing mist descends upon a small California island community and attacks good-looking people like Tom Welling (Smallville), Maggie Grace (Lost) and Selma Blair (Hellboy). This mysterious … Continue reading

One time head of Warner Bros and current producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura was at the press junket for Four Brothers this morning, and he talked a little bit about his upcoming Transformers project. The film has gone through a couple of drafts, including one by CHUD.com friend John Rogers (who I had the honor of finally … Continue reading
This morning at the press junket for his new film Four Brothers (yet another movie I liked better than Batman Begins!), John Singleton briefly talked about his possible adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Luke Cage, Power Man. When asked if Jamie Foxx would be playing Luke Cage, as rumored, Singleton said, "Jamie was supposed to be … Continue reading
Universal’s subsection Focus Features (under which is genre arm Rogue Pictures, who astutely brought Shaun of the Dead stateside) is getting into the animation racket with a bizarro flick simply known as 9. The feature-length movie will be directed by Shane Acker, who created the freaky short film on which it’s based. Though entirely computer-generated, … Continue reading
While writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez and stars Lucy Liu and Michael Chiklis (interviews HERE, HERE and HERE) were occupied with actually shooting scenes during my visit to the set of the Ghost House horror-thriller Rise, I shot the breeze with the man behind the scenes, producer Greg Shapiro (also of Harold & Kumar Go To White … Continue reading
I sort of have to question the wisdom of releasing a trailer about a futuristic film involving terrorism in England during a time when the London of now is under siege by the same, but I suppose when you’ve got a movie to promote, there’s nothing for it. At any rate, the trailer for the … Continue reading
Disney’s Ice Princess isn’t an obvious kind of film that might catch the interest of CHUD’s general readership. Don’t get me wrong, it certainly has elements that I find appealing. But my own proclivities aside, even Devin gave the film a favorable review (READ IT HERE) and he’s not even really a perv. The movie … Continue reading
