It’s difficult to imagine a creative team getting behind a big zombie project in 2007/2008. The genre has been bled, drawn and quartered. But Zack Snyder came up with a story he’s calling Army of the Dead and Joby Harold (director of Awake) has written a screenplay that’s being used to shop around for directors. … Continue reading
Wolverine may be a masta killa, but he’s also entirely predictable. You know he’s going to bust out the blades, you can rely on his berzerker attitude, and when a hot Asian girl comes on the scene, there’s no doubt he’s going to try to slip it to her. Once upon a time the object … Continue reading
BUY IT HERE AT AMAZON: CLICK HERE!PLATFORM: Xbox360, PS3 ESRB RATING: TPUBLISHER:: EADEVELOPER: Harmonix This is actually a provisional review. Any Rock Band review written over the next month is going to be incomplete. In part, because this is four games in one. More to the point, for some it will live or die on … Continue reading
I obviously bookmark the wrong blogs because I missed the fact that, last week, Michael Showalter used My Old Kentucky Blog to announce the reformation of the much-missed comedy troupe The State, and that the comedians would be making a movie. "I’d like to be the first to announce on My Old Kentucky Blog that … Continue reading
I can’t believe I’m sourcing an article from Fox News, but when the Google Alert goes off, you’ve got to heed the call. So, wincing, I read this tidbit about new Bond casting. It’s still more rumor than anything else — I’ve got too much built-in suspicion to buy wholesale into a story that Fox411 … Continue reading
Ricky Gervais earned enormous cred with The Office and packed away a bit of additional investment with Extras, but to say he’s been squandering it in features is a gross understatement. A Night At The Museum and For Your Consideration do nothing for his resume, though no one would have predicted the latter as an … Continue reading
Frank Darabont still wants to film Stephen King’s novella The Long Walk, and if there’s anything right with the world, he’ll get to do it. Set in a vague but obviously dystopian future, the story is about an annual contest in which 100 randomly selected young male applicants walk until only one is left. Most … Continue reading
The good* news: New Line and Platinum Dunes are going ahead with another Friday the 13th flick. But you knew that. The bad news: CHUD alum Smilin’ Jack Ruby’s script ain’t the blueprint. But you knew that, too. The ugly news: a director has been signed, and it’s Marcus Nispel. Is that actually good news? … Continue reading
I’ve had a friendly attitude towards Thomas Jane since I interviewed him for The Punisher. No other actor has sat through an interview constantly sipping from a bottle of whiskey; call it a comment on my interviewing skills if you want, but the fact is that most actors now seem like pussies. Tom Jane does … Continue reading
Fresh off a couple years of doing not very much at all*, Jada Pinkett Smith is about to beef up a couple of the less obvious columns in her IMDB profile. One is ‘writer’, as JPS penned a script called The Human Contract; the second column will be ‘director’, as she’s slated to direct the … Continue reading
