Paramount has sent out a new image from Cloverfield, and on the surface it looks like two dumb guys in their 20s who make too much money talking. Here it is: But did you notice that on the guy’s wrist? I think this is the clue that a lot of people have been waiting for. … Continue reading →
Not an hour ago I was lamenting that I didn’t have a chance to tell you how Steven Spielberg may be the exact wrong person to direct The Trial of the Chicago 7, and then the Movie Gods – as generous as they can be capricious – dropped this in my lap: Coming Soon, using … 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 →
Let me preface this by saying that this is a rumor. A big, fat, unsubstantiated rumor. I would probably not even run this if it came to me during a busy news week – which isn’t to cast aspersions on the person who sent it to me, but rather that I don’t like running stories … Continue reading →
Looks like Joe Carnahan got bit by the comic book bug when he did the Smokin’ Aces graphic novel a year or so ago. While he promises that Killing Pablo is "ramping up FAST" (yes!), Carnahan has, in the interim, signed on with Marvel to put his hardcore spin on the character of Taskmaster. I … 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 →
"Suck my cock! I’ll murder your family!" God bless New Line for the red-band trailer tear they’ve been on of late. Even though most of the movies they’ve been advertising don’t look all that hot (e.g. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay), at least they’re treating us like adults and giving us the R-rated … Continue reading →
That Daniel Radcliffe’s in such a hurry to grow up. First, there was his full-frontal showing in a London revival of Peter Shaffer’s Equus, and… well, until he commits a live sex act or eats one of those six-pound steaks in one sitting, I think he’s effectively shattered his boy wizard image for the time … Continue reading →
UPDATE: Apologies for posting old news, but, like I said, I haven’t been keeping up on the development of American Dog, which has been rechristened Bolt. AICN ran some info on this project last week, and they posted a picture comparison between the Sanders version and the Lasseter-approved Chris Williams redo. They’re pretty drastic, and … Continue reading →
This is the part of the job I just hate… There are two schools of thought re: the compiling of a year’s "worst" movies: either you lambaste the ten most unspeakable atrocities, or you pick over the most profound disappointments. Generally, I’m sticking with the former (if only because it requires less thought), but before … Continue reading →
