The first thing I noticed when meeting actress Lucy Liu on the set of the Ghost House movie Rise is that she’s just breathtakingly gorgeous in person, with a devilish grin and beguiling eyes that convey an uncommon wisdom. She’s also very petite, almost small enough to, say, put in your pocket and sneak out … Continue reading
While it doesn’t seem like we’re going to get that fourth entry in the Mad Max series, Mel Gibson is still heading out to the desert for a bit of mayhem. Only he’s directing it this time. Gibson is behind the camera for a historical action flick called Apocalypto (which is actually a better title … Continue reading
Nope, Christian Bale is not taking over for Chuck Norris in a resurrection of the Braddock franchise, but he is on his way back to Vietnam. Now that he’s cleansed the streets of Gotham from fear gas and ninjas, Bale is gripping the joystick as a pilot in Rescue Dawn, an action-drama from auteur Werner … Continue reading
In the upcoming Ghost House horror-thriller Rise from filmmaker Sebastian Gutierrez (read our exclusive interview with him HERE), Michael Chiklis plays a frayed LA cop on the hunt for whoever is responsible for destroying his family. Unfortunately for Lucy Liu, he thinks it’s her… even though she’s also a victim of the same cult that … Continue reading
Better than I expected. I’ll go into more depth, but that was my initial impression when Bryan Singer showed off his clip of Superman Returns during last Saturday’s Q&A panel at Comic Con in San Diego (it was the only major film I managed to catch the presentation for).

Liotta has joined the disturbingly high-profile cast of Uwe Boll’s videogame adaptation Dungeon Siege, a $60 million fantasy flick that already counts Jason Statham, Leelee Sobieski, … Continue reading
The Walking Dead Volumes 1 – 3 (Image Comics) (BUY IT HERE!) By Graig Kent Robert Kirkman gets it. He totally understands what die-hard zombie fans have been clamoring for: a serialized story set in a zombie apocalypse. In 28 Days Later fashion, our story’s hero, policeman Rick Grimes, awakens from a coma only to … Continue reading
I think Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man gets more mileage as a joke source around here than just about any other bad movie about an invisible Kevin Bacon, so this news should provide even more gags for DVD screen caps. Sony Screen Gems has a sequel to Hollow Man in the cards, which I’d actually heard … Continue reading
For about 23 seconds a while back, it seemed like Paramount was possibly veering from their new paradigm of Remaking Everything in favor of something completely original. I can’t for the life of me recall what the project was, but it must’ve happened. Maybe it was just a dream sequence. Anyway, the studio has decided … Continue reading
