Many viewers of Lost wonder how the fat guy can stay so fat when shipwrecked on a deserted island*. Maybe the reason why Lindsey Lohan is in talks to star in the new version of Swiss Family Robinson is that her emaciated frame is the perfect look for someone living off of coconuts and rainwater. … Continue reading
The Butterscotch Stallion is looking to star in a new version of The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, a project that’s been floating around for years and years now. For a long time this was a Jim Carrey pet project, but I guess he’s moved on and Wedding Crasher Owen Wilson is filling his shoes. … Continue reading
I think Paul Verhoeven’s Hollow Man gets more mileage as a joke source around here than just about any other bad movie about an invisible Kevin Bacon, so this news should provide even more gags for DVD screen caps. Sony Screen Gems has a sequel to Hollow Man in the cards, which I’d actually heard … Continue reading
Filming began today on the latest great vaporfilm, Mission: Impossible 3. The first shots took place on a speedboat on the Tiber River, which for all you geography heathens, is in Italy. The film has been slowly getting to this point over the last few years, and I have to admit that I was a … Continue reading
For about 23 seconds a while back, it seemed like Paramount was possibly veering from their new paradigm of Remaking Everything in favor of something completely original. I can’t for the life of me recall what the project was, but it must’ve happened. Maybe it was just a dream sequence. Anyway, the studio has decided … Continue reading
Here’s the second installment of my very own letter column, Shout at the Devil. It’s been a little while since the first one, but I’ve been pretty busy, and most of it has been supplying this site with some content – I hope it shows. Right now I am in sunny Los Angeles, so of course … Continue reading
The sequel to the latest Punisher movie apparently continues to move forward, despite the fact that the first one didn’t do that well. At least that’s what Thomas Jane is saying – and he’s feeling confident enough about the film that he’s been spending a lot of time in the gym. "I’ve been in the gym … Continue reading
When I caught filmmaker Eric Valette’s claustrophobic occult-themed prison flick Malefique at Montreal’s Fantastia Festival a couple of summers ago, at no point did I think “This is pretty cool, but it’d be way better if the guy who produced Torque made it.” But to be completely honest (and I’m all about disclosure), that’s only … Continue reading

When you hear that Oliver Stone is going to be making a 9/11 movie, the first thing you may think of is the possibility of him tackling all the endless (and it seems to me, baseless) conspiracy theories about the buildings imploding. But in fact Stone will be making a 9/11 movie on a smaller … Continue reading
