While I continue to impatiently wait for a Half-Life movie to get made, Microsoft’s kazillion-selling videogame Halo is still rolling toward theaters. The movie, a joint production between Fox and Universal that will probably cost more than I make in a year, even has a vague (but not surprising) release date already slotted: Halo will … Continue reading
Page Six is the gossip column of the NY Post, which is about two real journalists and some bad Photoshop pics away from being the World Weekly News, so it might not be the most reliable place for movie news.

At Comic Con this year, a visibly exhausted Bryan Singer flew in from his Australia set of Superman Returns for a Q&A session with the fans before presenting a surprisingly polished clip of scenes from the movie (which I previously described HERE). I don’t know if you’re following Singer’s online video diaries of the production, … Continue reading
