Even with the timely death of Don Adams, the Get Smart movie is moving ahead. Steve Carell was recently on some talk radio show and spent a little time bullshitting about it, saying that they’re looking into casting Agent 99, the female sidekick from the series, right now. The new film will have a much … Continue reading
A massive fire swept through Aardman Animation’s warehouse this weekend, destroying everything. "Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, with the news that ‘Wallace and Gromit’ had gone in at No. 1 at the U.S. box office, but instead our whole history has been wiped out," Aardman spokesman Arthur Sheriff said. "It’s turned … Continue reading
It’s been interesting, this past week, to watch the Browncoats go through all the stages of grieving as laid out by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. First there was denial, where they claimed that, hey, ten million dollars and coming in second to a shitty movie that had already been released the week before was OK. Next came … Continue reading
Just the other day we brought you that beautiful high res image of King Kong sitting on the Empire State Building with Ann Darrow in hand, the sun setting over the Hudson River. It was a really wonderful moment of the calm before the storm, and there was some confusion that it was the teaser … Continue reading
The Weinstein Co. is in the midst of gathering plenty of funds to start making movies, and they’re looking at a couple of secret weapons to add to their eventual bottom line, including two new Michael Moore documentaries, one of them a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11 (more on that below). The New York Times ran … Continue reading
Dave Davis brought you the good news earlier this week – Jon Favreau has taken over directorial duties on the John Carter of Mars film.

Sometimes a movie speaks to me so truthfully and so personally that I can’t figure out if it’s a great film or just one that greatly resonates with me. After thinking about it a lot (and I mean a lot), I’ve come to the conclusion that The Squid and the Whale is a great film, … Continue reading
There are a lot of people today who don’t get what the big deal is about Al Pacino. I see it on the CHUD message boards all the time, kids who are familiar with the concept that Pacino is one of our great actors but not believing it because they just haven’t seen him being … Continue reading
The DVD for Serenity will probably be hitting shelves at the end of December – the 20th to be precise (same date as the first half of Battlestar Galactica’s second season). That’s most likely not a comment on the film’s success by Universal, but it is at the short side of the already quick window … Continue reading
In a move coldly calculated to get CHUD.com’s own Kevin Matchstick to buy a ticket, Scary Movie 4 will now feature none other than Craig Bierko. The film, which is being made for the brand new Weinstein Co. (I guess that’s the name they’re sticking with?), has already begun filming under the direction of David … Continue reading
