We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

THE HOUSE WILL GRIND LATER

Anyone who’s been following our coverage of Grind House (catch up RIGHT HERE!) knows who they can expect to see killing and/or killed by the crazed zombies of Robert Rodriguez’s Project Terror (which the trade is still calling Planet Terror, but we’re pretty sure it’s Project), but the news has finally arrived in an official … Continue reading

HOTTEST FUZZ YET

If you haven’t been following the video production diaries on Hot Fuzz, the follow-up from the Shaun of the Dead crew, now’s a good time to start. The gang have been bleeding little chunks of on-set info throughout filming (it’ll never be enough until we get the whole movie!), and the latest one has a … Continue reading

JOIN THE ARMY OF SHADOWS

I don’t know how to talk about movies. How to say smart things about them, break them down into their cinematic parts, boost their beauty and power with mere words on a page. I admire the writers that can. But I can’t intellectualize films. I feel them in my guts and a great movie may … Continue reading

BEARD TV

Feeling like staying indoors tonight?

Will it be biting and incisive? I have no clue. All I know is that you’ll probably get some … Continue reading

FAST FOOD NATION TRAILER

Hey, I hope you guys are enjoying the new Golden Age. I wasn’t really convinced that we were living in great times for cinema until I saw the trailer for Richard Linklater’s next film, Fast Food Nation. It’s obvious that we’ve arrived at a point where incredibly talented filmmakers are getting money to make ballsy … Continue reading

WITCH MOVIE IS GUILLERMO’S NEXT?

When I talked to Mick Garris about his episode of the Showtime Masters of Horror show, and about the series in general, he mentioned some directors they had wanted to get on board, but who just weren’t available. “Guillermo [del Toro] was going to do one but he can’t because they’re constantly throwing giant studio … Continue reading

TONIGHT, HE LEAVES

The dude who wrote the superhero drama Tonight, He Comes must be tearing his hair out in huge gruesome chunks, scalp flaps and all. For years the script kicked around various studios and (transcending its terrible title) gained a reputation for being one of the best unproduced screenplays… a status it still retains. The Sony … Continue reading

GETTING A WOODY FOR COLIN AND EWAN

Woody Allen’s next film (not Scoop, hitting theaters this year. His next, next film, which is still not officially titled) will have some bright lights on the marquee: Colin Farrell and Ewan McGregor are starring. The film will be shot in London, Woody’s third picture in a row there. He was set to make a … Continue reading
