Some time ago (aka last month) it was announced that Spike Lee would be doing a movie about African-American soldiers in Italy during WWII. At the time it seemed like that project would come before Spike could work on a James Ellroy film, The Night Watchman.

You guys like the screenings, so they keep coming (even though I’ve been lax in getting the Charlotte and Raleigh stuff organized as well as I should).

William Castle is having some kind of weird renaissance indeed. There’s been the almost annual rash of remakes of his films from Dark Castle Entertainment (they missed this year).

I’m supposed to interview David Goyer on Sunday for Blade: Trinity (although that kind of stuff changes on a dime, so don’t quote me on it), but now there’s one question I don’t have to ask him: "How the fuck are you going to remake Soylent Green?" Even people who haven’t seen Soylent Green know … Continue reading
Recently I have come under some fire on our message boards and in my email for being a little negative about films in development. I have been told that I am angry, or bitter, or perhaps just a pretentious prick. While these are all good judgements of my character (please remember to include in future … Continue reading
What a difference a day or two makes. On Monday I interviewed Pierce Brosnan for this weekend’s After the Sunset, a heist movie. He briefly mentioned that he liked heist films, but when asked what he was doing next he said that he was looking for a job. No mention, you see, of The Topkapi … Continue reading
