The news broke like the wind on Peta’s own site, where the following cryptic blurb appeared: "Peta will be in the new Superman Returns which … Continue reading
Paul Giamatti and Mike Mignola have finally teamed up as the thespian has agreed to voice the lead character in the Sci-Fi Channel cartoon version of Amazing Screw-On Head.

The videogame adaptation is climbing back to the top of studio lists, with recent weeks seeing popular properties like Halo, Hitman and Alice hacking their way through development hell. And let’s not forget Uwe Boll’s upcoming Bloodrayne, which we all know will totally ROCK. So who’s next? Fugitive undercover cop Max Payne, that’s who. He’s … Continue reading
Anne Hathaway seems to really dig taking the safe, family-friendly roles in Hollywood. She’s cute too. And 22 years old. Where’s the scandal? Where’s the controversy? She’s like the polar opposite of the Lohans and Hiltons of the world. Thank God for that. Anyway, the perpetual princess will next be seen alongside Oscar magnet Meryl … Continue reading

This afternoon I had the pleasure of talking with Nick Frost, star of Spaced and Shaun of the Dead, about his new DVD Danger 50,000 Volts, which hits stores in the US on Tuesday (order it from CHUD.com here). It’s a funny and interesting program where Frost shows you how to get out of various life-threatening scenarios, … Continue reading
