Because it stars Simon Pegg, we’ve been following the casting news for How To Lose Friends And Alienate People pretty closely. In addition to Pegg, Jeff Bridges, Kirsten Dunst, Gillian Anderson and Danny Huston are all on board the Robert B. Weide-directed adaptation of Toby Young’s memoir about being a total loser with an English … Continue reading
Shoot ‘Em Up is one of those movies that sounds like pure DTV material: the film, from the writer of Double Dragon who also happens to be the director of Monster Man, is about "a mysterious loner who teams up with an unlikely ally to protect a newborn baby from a determined criminal who hunts … Continue reading

Brandon Routh, meanwhile, is just worried about get cast – the guy’s career has been suspiciously quiet ever since Superman Returns came out.

It was the first ever New York screening, at 2 in the afternoon, and it was the day after school let out for the summer, so the screening room was packed with kids (all very … Continue reading

I’ve still got my fingers crossed for ‘dude in the Iron Man suit,’ but I’ll settle for neat footage. Meanwhile, we’ve been chastised for not running the news that Hillary Swank is doing … Continue reading
If Devin wasn’t moving to L.A. in the next couple of weeks, he might have been able to cover this year’s 45th annual New York Film Festival, in which case he would have been among the first to see Wes Anderson’s new The Darjeeling Limited, which opens the festival on September 28. As is so … Continue reading
Hey, remember when I told you that Shia LaBeouf’s character in Indiana Jones IV (now revealed to be named Mutt Ravenwood, grandson of Abner Ravenwood, played in Indy IV by John Hurt) was a motorcycle riding greaser in a leather jacket and jeans? Well, while I can’t share with you the photos of Shia in … Continue reading
