Rian Johnson’s follow-up to Brick has been slowly percolating behind the scenes. Months ago we learned that Rachel Weisz had signed on to The Brothers Bloom, Johnson’s take on a con man movie. Now there’s finally new casting, and it was worth the wait. Rian emails us from freezing cold Belgrade (it’s not so warm … Continue reading
Good work, Mr. Sutherland. Kiefer Sutherland is such a survivor I think that cockroaches and rats build little shrines to him. He fucking DID it, parlaying the seemingly trapping role of Ace Merrill (oh, and Jack Bauer) into a true A-List career, the odiferous The Sentinel notwithstanding. 24 still manages to deliver, even though it … Continue reading
Fangoria was always one of two dirty magazines for me as a kid. The first was Cosmo – you know, before I discovered it wasn’t filled with naked ladies, but just the cleave-heavy one on the front. Fangoria, on the other hand, never blueballed. I knew if I saw some dude with an axe in … Continue reading
If you’ve been hanging around these parts for a little while, you’ll remember that I did extensive interviews with Paul Greengrass when he was set to direct an adaptation of Watchmen (way back when it was still set up at Paramount). When that project didn’t happen we stayed in touch and I ended up doing … Continue reading

Sometimes you have to leave a good thing alone. Sometimes once is enough. Sometimes you really can’t go home again. Tell that to Dan Aykroyd, who made an appearance on a country music station and announced that a Ghostbusters III is happening. Despite Ghostbusters II. Aykroyd told the DJ that the new film would be … Continue reading
I told you all, but you wouldn’t listen. You whined about David Goyer on The Flash. You celebrated his departure. And while your backs were turned, Warner Bros was dropping a roofie in your drink so they could assrape you for the next few years. The assraping comes in the form of Shawn Levy being … Continue reading

A month or two ago we ran a story about Jonathan Hensleigh’s Welcome to the Jungle, a down and dirty cannibal movie that was characterized by Fangoria as all but a remake of Cannibal Holocaust. Hensleigh and I actually traded some emails about the whole thing, and in the end I was happy when he … Continue reading
