We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

THE ART OF BEING REDACTED

No poster could ever effectively convey the fury and madness of Brian De Palma’s Iraq War indictment, Redacted, but there’s something kind of… imprecise about this key art. I like the idea of blotted out information revealing the face of a panic-stricken child, but the way it’s framed by the barricade recalls a number of … Continue reading

BATWATCH: LEGDER TERRIFIES CAINE

It’s probably in Michael Caine’s contract to say things like "You should really see Christian Bale turn his head in the new Batsuit" or "this movie has the best third act of any I’ve done this decade" not to mention the eulogies at any necessary stuntman funerals.* But still, when a thespian with a halo … Continue reading

CHARLIE’S TERMINATOR?

It’s a big day for scoops from trusted and reliable sources. The latest comes from Duckie, who has been hearing buzzing about a name that is sort of attached to direct Terminator 4: McG.This doesn’t mean McG IS directing Terminator 4, but that he’s in talks about it. The film is being set up as … Continue reading

OF DALEKS AND TINTIN

You’ve gotta be doing something right if Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson hire you to head up their massively anticipated, motion-capture rendition of HergĂ©’s beloved Tintin tales.

Latino Review has gotten their hands on the script to The Incredible Hulk and have spoiled just about every thing in the movie right up to the end. If you want to know what happens in three quarters of the film, Latino Review is the place for you – click here. If you’re curious but … Continue reading

SMOKIN’ BARDEM AND BALE

Joe Carnahan’s pre-strike dance card just got filled up. He’s starting on White Jazz in December, and then he’ll be moving into Killing Pablo, one of the films he’s been trying to get made for years now. The Yari Film Group is fast tracking the picture, and there are some stars lined up, namely Christian … Continue reading

JAMES BOND DIGS VAN HALEN, TOO

Without real assurance that Bond 22 won’t slide back to the old style of one-liners and joke setpieces (or limp policital posturing, with Paul Haggis providing the polish) I’m not sure why I care that the production team is going to Panama. Dark Horizons is reporting that Bond fansite MI6 is reporting that the production … Continue reading
