GO WEST, YOUNG MANGOLD

James Mangold, currently basking in far too much adulation for the merely good Walk the Line, may have received the inspiration for his next film from one of Johnny Cash’s albums, Johnny Cash Sings the Ballads of the True West – he’s remaking the classic western 3:10 to Yuma. The original is very High Noon-ian … Continue reading

GET BLOWN AWAY BY RUNNING SCARED

I won’t lie to you – I want you to go see Running Scared this weekend. I think it’s a blast of a film, a fun, intense, insane movie that will become a serious cult classic. We’ll be featuring some Running Scared coverage this week, including exclusive interviews with star Paul Walker and director Wayne … Continue reading

THERE WILL BE A SCRIPT REVIEW

Any Paul Thomas Anderson movie is going to get me excited; hell, I was completely psyched for a PTA movie starring Adam Sandler, for God’s sake. Add in the fact that the new film is a sprawling epic and I get even more excited. Cast Daniel Day Lewis in the lead and I would be … Continue reading

The full interview will run next week, but Wayne spilled some interesting beans about his upcoming projects, including the fact that Thomas Jane is interested in starring in his film Evil Seek – as Satan. The … Continue reading

Oscar winner Ben Affleck (man, that still seems like an odd thing to call the star of Gigli and Surviving Christmas) is finally putting the pieces together on his adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Boston-based mystery novel Gone Baby Gone, and some of it is genetic. The heroically-chinned actor, who penned the script and is making … Continue reading
