UPDATE: The full trailer for The Prestige has now arrived in gloroius Quicktime. Check it out HERE! America’s thirst for old time magicians knows no bounds, which is why we’re getting not one but two 19th century magician movies this year. The first out the gate is The Illusionist; with Paul Giamatti and Edward Norton … Continue reading
Broken Lizard is about as vital as any creative team working in Hollywood to me. Though Michael Mann is the guy who gets me to drop whatever I’m doing to watch his films [and Newell will be interviewing him for CHUD.com next week, lucky ape], these guys make me laugh more than anyone else and … Continue reading
I like to believe regular CHUD readers are reasonably smart — astute enough to have found our site, and masochistic enough to keep returning. We’ve been running the Daily Graboid for nearly a year now to test your movie knowledge, but how about straining that noggin? The CHUD Thinker is a puzzle, rebus, pictogram, visual … Continue reading
Details on Michael Bay’s megabudget Transformers flick have been pretty scarce, and aside from the fact that it features huge battling robots that used to be toys, we don’t know much about it (although we will pretty soon – promise). Bay has been shooting at Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico, and has been … Continue reading
When I talked to Michael Winterbottom a couple of weeks ago, he mentioned that he was thinking about taking on a secret project that would bring him back to Pakistan, where he filmed his shattering refugee movie, In This World. That project has now been announced, and it’s an adaptation of A Mighty Heart, Mariane … Continue reading
This one kinda snuck up on me — especially since Elisha Cuthbert is on my "watch" list. And by that I mean "restraining order". I get kind of a sleazy vibe from this trailer for The Quiet that I like — Cuthbert plays a high school cheerleader whose dad seems to really dig her, like in … Continue reading
UPDATE: An amendment to the below article from 7/10/06 — The fine folks at Blackfilm, the resident online experts in the type of film that is black, have verified Rhames’ involvement with the people behind the remake. Apparently it’s Mena Suvari also starring and not Mira Sorvino, which is sorta similar in name only. Other … Continue reading
The Shaun of the Dead masterminds have wrapped shooting on their anticipated follow-up Hot Fuzz, although now we unfortunately still have to wait for all that post-production stuff to happen before we get to see it. For now, the last behind-the-scenes video blog of the shoot is online over at YouTube, which has now apparently … Continue reading
I have read the script for Pirates of the Caribbean 3. At least I have read A script – what I read is probably an older draft. I read the script many months before Dead Man’s Chest came out, and Verbinski and crew haven’t finished shooting the third one just yet, so there’s been plenty … Continue reading
If you had told me that the hot chick from Dark Angel would one day make a viable replacement for Oscar-winning actress Renee Zellweger, I probably would’ve said “Yeah, great ass!” Alba is shaking her considerable booty into a role vacated by the queen of squint, taking the lead in the remake of the Hong … Continue reading
