Disney has purchased the rights to a book, I Would Tell You I Love You But Then I Would Have to Kill You, which ingeniously mixes two of the finest concepts ever: all-girl’s schools and spies. The book is set at a secret school in Washington DC that is full of daughters of spies, and … Continue reading
The movie version of Speed Racer is far from dead, and Vince Vaughn is still attached, a scooper tells Corona Coming Attractions at Cinescape. The movie, based on the Japanese racing cartoon, seemed sort of in limbo for some time – we’ve been reporting on it for something like five years now – but the … Continue reading
Has there ever been a time when a movie about a guy who is essentially a terrorist would seem more ill-advised? The good news is that lame considerations about the political climate aren’t stopping Philip Noyce from directing a film about Patrick Chamusso, a South African who used sabotage to strike against the apartheid system … Continue reading

I’ve seen a couple of the films already, and I’ll be bringing you some reviews (especially of the excellent Three… Extremes, which has short films from the likes of Takashi Miike and Park Chan Wook!) in the days ahead. In … Continue reading
I am very excited about Darren Aronofsky’s upcoming film The Fountain, even though CHUD.com wasn’t invited on the set visit (see how not bitter I am?). I have been a huge fan of Aronofsky for years, and I wish I had more films from him to like. The Fountain has, of course, been a long … Continue reading
On last night’s fantastic episode of Entourage, Jeremy Piven was trying to convince young heartthrob Vincent Chase to star in an Aquaman movie (seriously, what a great show). They were at a Lakers game when Chase turned it down, saying he didn’t want to get typecast. Piven pointed to the crowd. "There’s the Joker. There’s … Continue reading
