If you told me there was a movie starring Frank Langella and Elliot Gould hitting theaters, I would have to assume that it was a rerelease of a film that came out some time in the 70s, when both those guys were really big. Especially if you told me that the movie was about a … Continue reading
Last summer, before going to Comic Con, I did a pit stop in Las Vegas to visit the set of Zak Penn’s The Grand, a new improv comedy set in the world of poker tournaments. Zak’s first film, Incident At Loch Ness, was pretty brilliant, and the cast he had lined up this time – … Continue reading
The most surprising thing about Steve Martin teaming with barely sentient director Harald Zwart (One Night at McCool’s, Agent Cody Banks) for the sequel to the Pink Panther remake is how much it still hurts; I should have given up caring a long time ago. Which Martin sure seems to have done – it’s hard … Continue reading
Just days before I was to interview Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime on the original Transformers cartoon as well as the upcoming blockbuster, Nick mentioned that he thought Eeyore should kill himself.

SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM FOR CONTRIBUTORS TO THE LIVE COMMENTARY, STRAIGHT FROM EDGAR WRIGHT! I am so jealous of the British Chewers. Not only do your accents give you an unfair advantage with my local women, but now you’re getting a SECOND Hot Fuzztival… and this time not only are you going to see three … Continue reading
At this point I think I’m more interested in a movie about the behind the scenes dealings on The Invasion, Warner Bros’ updating of Invasion of the Body Snatchers than the actual film being released; original director Oliver Hirschbiegel didn’t make the studio happy with his talky take, and when he wouldn’t make changes producer … Continue reading
Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura has a busy summer ahead of him – he’s opening 1408, Transformers and Stardust in the coming months. He also has a plate (and a half) full of other projects in development, and one of them, a movie version of G.I. Joe, got resurrected this past week. This afternoon I was … Continue reading
Ugh. What if Evil’s Density wasn’t meant to be?
