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

TRANSFORMERS: HOW MUCH MEETS THE EYE?

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

WHOOP THAT LUKE CAGE?

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 CAN COUNT TO 9

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

TRAILER: V FOR VENDETTA

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. At any rate, the trailer for the … Continue reading

MEL GETS MAD AGAIN, ALMOST

While it doesn’t seem like we’re going to get that fourth entry in the Mad Max series, Mel Gibson is still heading out to the desert for a bit of mayhem.  Only he’s directing it this time. Gibson is behind the camera for a historical action flick called Apocalypto (which is actually a better title … Continue reading

DESTROY ALL MOVIEGOERS!

Master Chief, see what your script-parading has done? Now, I liked Destroy All Humans!… as a rental. It was a fun game but one that got repetitive VERY quickly. It was basically State of Emergency (minus being awful) but with an infintely more charming ’50s sci-fi appeal. That’s probably the best thing going for it, … Continue reading

BALE TO THE RESCUE

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

TENACIOUS TEASE!

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

SUPERMAN DESCRIBED

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

A RAY OF HOPE?

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
