After four years of development, Sony has put James Mangold’s remake of 3:10 to Yuma in turnaround, just months before he was to start filming. There’s no word on why Sony is dropping the picture – it stars Russell Crowe and is being directed by the guy behind Walk the Line, so it seems like … Continue reading
There’s officially a new chapter in the seemingly endless saga of the making of the Watchmen movie – as has been rumored for some time now, Zack Snyder, director of the Dawn of the Dead remake and the upcoming nudity epic 300, has signed on to direct the film. The big news is that Alex … Continue reading
We’re still almost a year (gah!) away from seeing the results of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino’s experiment in gratuitous mayhem, but they’re already talking about building another Grind House. Rodriguez recently bumped his gums about the flick, verifying that he and Tarantino are operating second camera on each other’s half of the double feature … Continue reading
The big Licensing Show has been going on here in New York City – it’s the place where studios trot out their licensing friendly films (ie, I don’t think any of the Re-Animators made it here) and try to get companies to put their characters on lunch boxes, in Happy Meals and stenciled on the … Continue reading
It could be a wacky rumor or it could be the casting stroke of genius we’ve been waiting for – The Insider says that JJ Abrams wants Matt Damon to play Captain Kirk in his new, rebooted Star Trek. And by The Insider I mean the glossy celeb TV show, not fat Russell Crowe. JJ … Continue reading
Could 2006 see the releases of two truly great science fiction films? Trust me when I tell you that Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain is the first of them. Could the other be Danny Boyle’s Sunshine?

We continue to wait for a top-notch movie based on a videogame (and sadly, Silent Hill was certainly not it), but South American director Jorge Olguin doesn’t want to keep us in suspense. Until he keeps us in suspense, that is. The red hot Chile pepper will direct a flick based on Capcom’s Clock Tower … Continue reading
One is black. One is white. Together they’re…. The Crusaders! Terence Howard is teaming up with Topher Grace to tell the behind the scenes legal story of the 1954 Brown v Board of Ed case, which many racists still hate and pretend to oppose under cover of ‘state’s rights.’ You will remember that Brown v … Continue reading
With so many ghosts busted and vampires dusted, Hollywood needs more supernatural entities to slaughter. Up next, the witch! Director Dave Meyers, who’s currently replacing Hauer power with Bean badness in New Line’s remake of The Hitcher, is already setting his sights on Witch Hunters, a project rewritten by Joe Ballarini (from a spec called Witchfinders … Continue reading
Jeez, I just talked about this movie the other day RIGHT HERE (an excuse to search for pics of Roselyn Sanchez, really), and it’s already getting delayed before shooting even starts. No, it’s not another case of the CHUD curse (see: Slither, Murderball, Running Scared, etc.) but simply physical limitations being exceeded. Dwayne "The Rock" … Continue reading
