BOURNE BADDIE CAST

Last week I revealed to a heart-broken world that Gael Garcia Bernal would not be playing Paz, the super-assassin sent to kill Jason Bourne in The Bourne Ultimatum. Paul Greengrass wasn’t sitting still, though – he leapt into casting action and found himself a new bad guy, Edgar Ramirez. Some of you – very few … Continue reading

GO WACHOWSKIS GO

After years of speculation about what their next “official” project would be (they didn’t direct all of V for Vendetta*, but their fingerprints are all over it), the Wachowski Siblings have announced that they’ll be writing and directing a live action Speed Racer movie. It’s sort of mind-boggling. Whether you like the last two Matrix … Continue reading

THE SHAPE OF ROB ZOMBIE’S HALLOWEEN

But they’ll get a free life, they claim: As was previously confirmed, we deeply regret … Continue reading

Except that he’s decided his story is big enough for two movies. The first film will be called The Argentine, which is … Continue reading

CAMEO HOLOCAUST

I thought I was jealous when I didn’t get invited to Prague to visit the set of Hostel: Part 2. Turns out I had just begun to scratch the surface of jealousy – the guys from Bloody Disgusting got to meet the man doing the “cool genre director” cameo that Takashi Miike did in the … Continue reading
