SNEAKING ON SET: I AM LEGEND

The new Will Smith movie, I Am Legend, has been filming all over New York City the last few weeks, and I have run across the production a number of times. Today they happened to be shooting one block from my office, so I scampered over to try to get a better look at what … Continue reading

HOT F**K

I don’t know what else to say except that the Hot Fuzz site is live, and that the image above is taken from there. There is also a gallery of other images and a handy dandy link to all the video diaries. I imagine that this site will get hopping soon, but in the meantime … Continue reading

LYRA REVEALED

The first official still from His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass (or The Northern Lights if you live outside the US) has arrived, and it gives us our first look at the girl playing the heroine of the trilogy, Lyra. The actress is Dakota Blue Richards, and in this picture she’s sitting with Nicole Kidman … Continue reading

SHOUT AT THE DEVIL: 4400 EDITION

I have to know what happens. Trust me, I’ve read romance novels in Dentist’s office for the same reason. If I … Continue reading

This means that I will never be able to review the film – you just can’t ethically write a review of a … Continue reading

SINGER RETURNS

Last week Superman Returns limped to 200 million in the US, if you believe the numbers Warner Bros is reporting. With that “victory” fresh, the studio has announced a deal with Bryan Singer to make a sequel to the film for release in 2009. This deal is something everyone has been speculating on since ComiCon, … Continue reading

REFACING DEATH

The last time we ran a story on the updated version of Faces of Death was in May of 2005, before Don Murphy – who is producing the new film – and I made up at the San Diego Comic Con that summer. Now there’s new movement on the project, with Rogue Pictures on board … Continue reading

LET’S DO THE HADOKEN AGAIN

Jean-Claude Van Damme fans, prepare to start a petition campaign. The goal of the petition will be to secure Jean-Claude a cameo in the new Street Fighter movie. No, this one has nothing to do with Sonny Chiba but rather the astonishingly hyper-extended video game franchise (what exactly is the difference between Super Street Fighter … Continue reading
