One time head of Warner Bros and current producer Lorenzo DiBonaventura was at the press junket for Four Brothers this morning, and he talked a little bit about his upcoming Transformers project. The film has gone through a couple of drafts, including one by CHUD.com friend John Rogers (who I had the honor of finally … Continue reading
This morning at the press junket for his new film Four Brothers (yet another movie I liked better than Batman Begins!), John Singleton briefly talked about his possible adaptation of Marvel Comics’ Luke Cage, Power Man. When asked if Jamie Foxx would be playing Luke Cage, as rumored, Singleton said, "Jamie was supposed to be … Continue reading
Universal’s subsection Focus Features (under which is genre arm Rogue Pictures, who astutely brought Shaun of the Dead stateside) is getting into the animation racket with a bizarro flick simply known as 9. The feature-length movie will be directed by Shane Acker, who created the freaky short film on which it’s based. Though entirely computer-generated, … Continue reading
I sort of have to question the wisdom of releasing a trailer about a futuristic film involving terrorism in England during a time when the London of now is under siege by the same, but I suppose when you’ve got a movie to promote, there’s nothing for it.

Nope, Christian Bale is not taking over for Chuck Norris in a resurrection of the Braddock franchise, but he is on his way back to Vietnam. Now that he’s cleansed the streets of Gotham from fear gas and ninjas, Bale is gripping the joystick as a pilot in Rescue Dawn, an action-drama from auteur Werner … Continue reading
The web site for Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny has launched. While there’s not a whole lot of content there right now they do have a very funny video segment of The Hell O’Clock News – the news broadcast of the Underworld. This is just the beginning of a whirlwind of rock that … Continue reading
Better than I expected. I’ll go into more depth, but that was my initial impression when Bryan Singer showed off his clip of Superman Returns during last Saturday’s Q&A panel at Comic Con in San Diego (it was the only major film I managed to catch the presentation for). He significantly downplayed the clip before … Continue reading
In a career of prominent peaks and drastic valleys, intense guy Ray Liotta has strapped on his skates and steered toward a significant downward slope for his current film. Liotta has joined the disturbingly high-profile cast of Uwe Boll’s videogame adaptation Dungeon Siege, a $60 million fantasy flick that already counts Jason Statham, Leelee Sobieski, … Continue reading
