DOUG LIMAN JUMPS AROUND

Word to yer moms, he came ta drop bombs. And pick up books. Director Doug Liman got his break with Swingers, and now he’s moved on to a Jumper (the non-suicidal type). Liman will helm the adaptation of Steven Gould’s books about teenager Davy, who discovers he has the ability to teleport.  His gift manifests … Continue reading

BERG ACCEPTS THE MISSION

Actor-writer-director Peter Berg must be really into the “guys on a mission” genre, like literally: he’s added a remake of the Hong Kong action-drama The Mission to his already wobbly pile of projects. The original film, directed by Johnny To, featured five ex-triad members (including the omnipresent Anthony Wong) who get called to act as … Continue reading

It looks like bratty little Veruca Salt will settle for second place, as karate-kicking champion gum-chewer Violet Beauregarde is winning the race.  AnnaSophia Robb will … Continue reading

HUSTON SAYS HOWDY

I do love a good Western, but it seems like since the 1970s we’re only allotted a single really great one each decade.  Silverado. Unforgiven. Open Range. Screen veteran Anjelica Huston will be part of what sounds like one of the good (and maybe great?) ones. She’s joining Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson in Seraphim Falls, … Continue reading

ROBOCOP REDUX?

Just the other day I basically surrendered to the concept of remakes (The Wild Bunch finally broke me). I recognize the value of a brand, I’m honestly sick of bitching about them, and people are probably exhausted from reading all our complaints, for all the good it does anyway.  Well… I guess I can officially … Continue reading
