For years now, there’s been talk, talk, and more talk of a Voltron movie, and that’s mostly lead to…just more talk, whether it be rumors that Pharrell from the Neptunes had been tapped to score it or people who refuse – to this day – to let go of the idea that Cloverfield/1-18-08 is the … Continue reading →
When I first heard that they were going to make a movie, Notorious, out of Biggie Smalls’ life, my mind immediately jumped into fantasy casting mode. And after about 5 minutes and a mild headache, I jumped right the fuck out of fantasy casting mode. The guy was truly one-of-a-kind, and that went for both … Continue reading →
You mention that you still want to do a superhero film. You’ve been attached to Thor – is that still happening?’I’m not attached. We’re still discussing it. I’m interested in it. That’s from Devin’s interview with Matthew Vaughn that ran a few hours ago, though it was recorded about a week back. Now you don’t … Continue reading →
I’m tired and there’s really no preamble that can do anything to dress this story up, so here it is: Warner Independent is going to remake Enter The Dragon, with Kurt Sutter, executive producer of The Shield, handling both writing and directing duties. Sutter’s take will be a little different from the version we know: … Continue reading →
They already revealed his real name was "John" (thus confirming our suspicions that Carrie Bradshaw was always meant to be viewed as a high-class hooker)!

Brooks; there’s the sight of Dianne Wiest, which reminds you that Dianne Wiest doesn’t work nearly enough anymore (I don’t watch Law & Order; that’s … Continue reading →
So, we’re going to enter the dog days of summer after this weekend. Rush Hour 3 is the last major franchise, which is good for Chud-favorite Superbad and its chances of long-play. But what it means is that we’re about to get two sorts of films for the next couple of weeks: Films the studio … Continue reading →
Just the other day, I was talking to a friend about ex-Pythons. He was booking Michael Palin for a personal appearance, and mentioned that a co-worker considered him the sexy Python. I agreed, and when John Cleese’s name was brought up as a rogueish alternate, I rebuffed the argument. He’s aged poorly, I said, and … Continue reading →
The 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta have been a font for unintentional comedy. These were the Olympics that gave us the gold medal winning Brian Boitano (now best known as a provider of life lessons to the South Park boys) and the Jamaican Bobsled Team, forever immortalized in the Jon Turteltaub-directed cable mainstay, Cool … Continue reading →
We all know it’s Shia LeBeouf’s year. But I’m not basing it on the success of Disturbia or Transformers. I’m not basing it on the fact that Spielberg reportedly loves the kid and wants to have his babies. I’m not basing it on his surely skyrocketing asking price. No, no, no. I look at what’s … Continue reading →
