Oh, you thought this was going to be the teaser trailer for Star Trek, didn’t you? Nope. But. With Cloverfield‘s release upon us, the flick’s teaser web site is up and running, which in turn is likely where those who don’t pay for Abrams’ big monster flick will see the Trek teaser trailer sometime next … Continue reading
If you were dreading the birth of George Miller’s High School Musical version of The Justice League of America, time for a sigh of relief. If you were hoping to draw a paycheck from the production, on the other hand, it’s time to look for work. But you knew that, since (as IESB reports) meetings … Continue reading
If you don’t read The Playlist, you should*. It’s a great blog that covers (mostly) the use of music in film, and they’ve got an occasionally sharp talent for sniffing out the weird ways that pop music and film intersect. For instance, they noticed a few days ago that Carter Burwell’s blog mentioned that Karen … Continue reading
Now, I’ve seen Dario Argento’s recent movies, which have left me with very little faith in the man as a filmmaker. So why do I get that old tingling excitement when I read that Vincent Gallo is going to play the killer in Giallo, Argento’s hopefully not quite so on the nose homage to the … Continue reading
Over at Newsweek, N’Gai Croal (one of the best games journos going, and a guy that I’d love to see consistently writing for a more knowledgable base than Newsweek‘s) has an interview with Joseph Staten, Bungie’s writing director.

I troll MySpace less and less — look ma, I’m growing up! — so it was easy to miss the Diary of the Dead trailer the site posted as an exclusive at the end of last week. The clip highlights the film’s basic conceit — a kid with a camera captures the rise of the … Continue reading
I’ve come to the realization that Uwe Boll’s latest film, In The Name Of The King: A Dungeon Seige Tale, is an incredible work by a director who has flown under the radar for too long. Rather than churning out just another video game adaptation, Boll has delivered his most complex work, with the only … Continue reading
Jeremy’s List – Devin’s List – Russ’s List – Nick’s List There should probably be a moratorium on 2007 lists that drop a week into ’08, but I can’t be bothered with that. So what was the holdup here? Easy. I waffled. I had a version of this list put together almost a full month … Continue reading
A couple weeks ago the news floated up that the inevitable sequel to The Host would actually be a prequel. Without any more details, it was an empty news item; after all, the original film had a prologue that explained, in more or less all the detail required, the monster’s origin. But what the hell … Continue reading
Paul Greengrass has been quiet for the last few months about his as yet untitled adaptation of Imperial Life in the Emerald City, which focuses on the Green Zone at the center of occupied Baghdad. The film began production yesterday in Spain, with Matt Damon starring as a military officer who teams with a senior … Continue reading
