THE BAD BOYS OF HOT FUZZ

IMPAwards, the very best movie poster site on all the internet (seriouslY), has a new UK teaser poster for Hot Fuzz, the cop comedy from the geniuses behind Shaun of the Dead. When the Hot Fuzz site went live I received an email from a certain director who told me that the teaser poster would … Continue reading

SIX DEGREES OF THE GOLDEN COMPASS?

When I interviewed Eva Green for Casino Royale, I tried to get some His Dark Materials: The Golden Compass gossip out of her. While she confirmed that the film version of Philip Pullman’s anti-religion fantasy book would retain all the Church-y aspects that we once thought had been excised, the only other ‘interesting’ thing she … Continue reading

I’M NOT DREAMING OF A BLACK X-MAS

Consider me clueless, for I had no idea that there was a remake of Bob Clark’s Black Christmas coming out this fall, let alone one with the Morgan/Wong tandem behind the scenes [as well as 15 producers!]. Not that I’m surprised that Dimension is releasing a horror remake (with MGM), I was just surprised when … Continue reading

THE THING FROM ANOTHER BATTLESTAR

It’s hard to get up in arms about a remake of The Thing when John Carpenter’s masterpiece was, technically, a remake itself (it’s really more of a re-adaptation of the original source material, Who Goes There?, but I don’t think most people see the distinction when you get down to it). Except for the fact … Continue reading

STREAMED UNDER A BAD SIGN

The trailer for David Fincher’s new film, Zodiac, is on the web. Click here to see it. I would tell you what I thought about this trailer, but after trying to watch it three times and having it turn into a narrated slideshow each time, I gave up. I’ll wait for the Quicktime. I’m on … Continue reading
