SOUTHLAND TALES WILL BE TOLD

Richard Kelly’s follow up to Donnie Darko, Southland Tales, received an incredibly venomous reception at the Cannes Film Festival this year – you get the impression that a video of a Chinese woman in high heels stamping on kittens would have gone over better. The film was said to be too long and boring and … Continue reading

STILL NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN

Is history repeating itself? Once upon a time Sean Connery left the James Bond franchise, saying he would never again play the role.

Either way, it looks like Wolverine is still slowly entering a solo berserker rage. Did Fox learn a valuable lesson after dragging their feet for so long getting … Continue reading

DEATH RACE REMAKE IS SERIOUS BUSINESS

Jeremy Bolt and Paul WS Anderson have been working together for years now, ever since Anderson’s first feature, Shopping. The duo are producing the new Resident Evil: Extinction (Anderson wrote it; it’s being directed by Highlander’s Russell Mulcahey), and Bolt had just arrived on set from location shoots on the day that my group of … Continue reading
