GHOST RIDING TO 2007

Sony has moved Ghost Rider seven whole months from July 14th, 2006, to February 16th, 2007. Uh oh. The studio says that the move is a positive one – that the summer is crowded, that between Sony’s five divisions they have more than enough movies to think about ("I think everybody is looking at their … Continue reading

THE LADY IN THE ONE SHEET

Don’t you hate it when someone comes out of the shower and walks around the house before they dried off? I mean, it’s so rude to leave wet footprints all over the place, plus they drip everywhere. Try sitting on the couch after them. Yuck! This, despite appearances, is not what M Night Shyamalan’s next … Continue reading

THE DA VINCI TRAILER

“The biggest cover up in the history of man.” These words are spoken over an image of Tom Hanks in a wooly hairpiece. Who said trailer editors don’t have a sense of humor? The trailer in question is The DaVinci Code, Sony/Columbia’s big picture for 2006. It’s based on the Dan Brown book, which is … Continue reading

HOT FUZZ: HAPPENING!

The wait has been maddening! Last year, when Shaun of the Dead hit the US and changed so many lives (including mine. Seriously.

Variety says: “Coldly effective but … Continue reading

FED X DELIVERS HUGH JACKMAN

A title like Fed X is so evocative. To me it says, “FBI agent becomes angry black muslim, hilarity ensues.” To Hugh Jackman and his production company, Seed Production, it says “Lame play on the name of a well known delivery company.” 20th Century Fox has bought the Dario Scardapane spec script for Jackman to … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 12.14.05

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

TRAILER: POSEIDON

As you may recall, CHUD’s own intrepid reporter Devin Faraci visited the set of Poseidon and was summarily bludgeoned about the torso by the film’s co-star Richard Dreyfuss. You can read more about that justifiable assault RIGHT HERE (along with all the other web-journals), but now we’ve got our first glimpse at the real disaster. … Continue reading
