A scooper has told Coming Soon! that one of the roles in Quentin Tarantino’s half of the upcoming film Grindhouse may have been cast. Grindhouse is a neat experiment of a movie – Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez will both direct one hour segments based on the kind of movies you would have once seen at … Continue reading
Way back when I had a chance to sit down with Matthew Vaughn, and he talked about how he wanted to direct an adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Stardust. Here’s what he had to say back when his gangster film and directorial debut, Layer Cake, was being released in the States: Vaughn: I’m doing a feature … Continue reading
So here’s the second half of my adventures in Potterland, in which Harry, Ron and Hermione (aka Dan Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint) faced the press for their fourth time around – a scary thought, considering the first time they jumped on the promotional treadmill they were about 10 years old. As much as … Continue reading
I don’t know if this is the official teaser poster for Neil Labute’s upcoming remake of The Wicker Man, but I hope it is. It’s pretty damn cool. A reader who obviously is fond of The X-Files sent this image in and it looks legit enough to pop on the site as a possibility.The original … Continue reading

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
We already learned valuable economics lessons at hero school with the X-Men movies and Disney’s minor hit Sky High, but it must be time to focus on the martial arts curriculum. Sure, Asian films have already thoroughly covered such territory with Volcano High and My Schoolmate the Barbarian and others, but now the Weinsteins want in on … Continue reading
Harry Knowles has a very fascinating review of Uwe Boll’s BloodRayne up at Aint it Cool. It’s not fascinating because of the movie or the review itself, but because Harry saw the movie with Dr. Boll in attendance, and had a chance to hang out with him afterwards. Boll actually talked shit on Spielberg’s War … Continue reading
What do I like the best about these new stills from James Gunn’s Slither? I like how many of them are people reacting in utter horror to things. This makes me feel very good about the slime quotient of this film, which I wasn’t really doubting in the first place anyway. It’s no secret that … Continue reading
