You’ve uncovered the world’s greatest treasure trove. What do you do as a follow up? Ask Gregory Poirier, who has been hired to write the sequel to last year’s hit National Treasure. The Nicolas Cage film defied expectations by not sucking that much and actually being a passable good time at the movies. At the … Continue reading
The sleuths at Coming Soon! have uncovered a newspaper article that claims that Mr. Hugh Jackman – the Wolverine himself – will be starring in the new Woody Allen movie with Scarlett Johansson. Don’t get confused – the movie isn’t Match Point, the film Woody made starring Scarlett. That one’s done and was the belle … Continue reading
I never do this. I hate it when there’s one picture from a movie that gets out on the web and it shows diddly shit and everyone gets psyched about it. "Oooh, Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne!" ie, Christian Bale in a suit. Hate it. But here I am doing it! That’s just because the … Continue reading

You may recall that Felt was the stunningly disappointing person behind the Deep Throat monicker, the guy whose inside info led to the breaking of the Watergate scandal and the fall of the Nixon Administration. Hanks and friends have bought … Continue reading
Who do you look for as a director when you’re remaking the family classic Swiss Family Robinson? If you’re Disney you go right for the dude who directed T3 and U-571, Jonathan Mostow. It seems like a weird choice to me, but then again no one thought that Scorsese had a women’s film in him … Continue reading
It’s a big reunion for Felicity creator JJ Abrams and his star Keri Russell – she’s going to be appearing in the "It’s seriously happening even though Tom Cruise has apparently completely lost his mind" Mission: Impossible 3.
