A couple of weeks back we were proud to present the red band trailer for The Host, the fantastic Korean monster movie that’s going to be opening here in the States shortly. Now there’s a more mainstream green band trailer available on MSN, and you should click here to watch it. This trailer’s pretty great … Continue reading
This could be as close as Dwayne Johnson gets to Spy Hunter – he’s signed on to appear in Get Smart, the Steve Carrell-starring adaptation of the 1960s Mel Brooks spy spoof TV series. He’ll be playing the newly created character of Agent 23, meaning he’ll be on the side of the good guys, aka … Continue reading
Update: Aint It Cool News’ scooper turned out to be 100% right. Variety has confirmed this story. I am wary of running scoops that originate from Aint It Cool News spies. Hoaxing that site seems to be the pastime of a depressingly large number of people, and once you’ve run the “Silver Surfer will be … Continue reading
UPDATE! Did the Burroughs estate decide? Variety just ran a story saying Disney is optioning the John Carter books… but they add no new information beyond what TMZ reported last week.

Neil Burger, whose movie The Illusionist was a sleeper hit for the Yari Film Group this summer, has just sold the pitch for his next movie to Universal. This time there’s no magic (although if you ask me there wasn’t much magic to The Illusionist either. Burn!!!) – Burger’s new film is a contemporary drama … Continue reading
Has footage from a Ghostbusters video game popped up online? Many fans on the web hope so, but I’m sitting here with my fingers crossed, hoping that this nonsense is totally fake.
