I know I’ve seen the original film version of One Missed Call, directed in 2003 by Takashi Miike. But I don’t remember much of it and won’t even try to dig up my DVD copy to compare it to the American remake, directed with corporate video elan by French helmer Eric Valette. Both feature cell … Continue reading
In all likelihood, no, though he says he’d be into it. So move on from that fantasy. (And we haven’t even seen Iron Man yet!) The reason I’m writing this is that, after thinking about WB’s Seventeen Magazine approach to casting The Justice League, I was heartened to read comments Jon Favreau made to MTV … Continue reading
When he brought Frontiere(s) to the Toronto Fest, Hitman director Xavier Gens talked briefly about his next film, which would see a pair of men shipwrecked on an island of cannibals. Not a stretch for him at all, so no big surprise there. But Bloody Disgusting is reporting now that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viggo … Continue reading
Don’t get too excited about this one yet because he’s got another seventeen movies to make first, but Guillermo del Toro has talked up a potential version of Frankenstein to MTV. In short, he’d still love to do it, he thinks he’s got a take on the material that’s both different and suited to a … Continue reading
The Lego version of Indy’s new nemesis not good enough for you? Then how about Cate Blanchett striking an authoritative pose in her Indy 4 costume, shot by justly famous photographer Annie Leibovitz? The new issue of Vanity Fair features a five-page article on the new flick and three new images, the most notable of … Continue reading
No, it’s not funny, but it is great. I love this image, which captures a certain simple and diabolical essence, at least of the original Funny Games, and hopefully of the remake as well. I’ve actually been wondering if this is even a fully legit image because it’s far more elegant than we’re used to … Continue reading
No, I wouldn’t have guessed that a part-time transvestite with an amazingly unlikely popularity level would show up in J.J. Abrams’ new Trek, either, but UGO is reporting that Tyler Perry is playing the head of Starfleet Academy. The article has a few spoilers and suggests that Abrams is going to be replaying at least … Continue reading
This first look at the Hancock one-sheet isn’t ideal — it’s shot in the wild, so there are some details obscured and missing. But is Sony trying to capitalize (subconsciously at least) on the success of I Am Legend by having the tone of that movie’s advertising reflected in Will Smith’s glasses? I do like … Continue reading
I get so thrilled every time I get to compile a top 15 list that’s as great as the one for 2007, but then I roll around to the 10 Worst and remember why people are so pessimistic about the movies. There’s a whole lot of shit out there. This could easily be a 50 … Continue reading
Sacha Baron Cohen, really just confirming what’s been suspected for a while, has talked up the deaths of Ali G and Borat to The Daily Telegraph. After nearly ten years on screen as Ali G, Choen says he’s never going to play he and Borat again. This can’t come as a surprise to anyone who … Continue reading
