STEADY LEAK: THE LIST OF DUMB #7
When he brought Frontiere(s) to the Toronto Fest, Hitman director Xavier Gens talked briefly about his next film, which would see a pair of men shipwrecked on an island of cannibals. Not a stretch for him at all, so no big surprise there. But Bloody Disgusting is reporting now that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viggo … Continue reading
"Suck my cock! I’ll murder your family!" God bless New Line for the red-band trailer tear they’ve been on of late. Even though most of the movies they’ve been advertising don’t look all that hot (e.g. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay), at least they’re treating us like adults and giving us the R-rated … Continue reading
That Daniel Radcliffe’s in such a hurry to grow up. First, there was his full-frontal showing in a London revival of Peter Shaffer’s Equus, and… well, until he commits a live sex act or eats one of those six-pound steaks in one sitting, I think he’s effectively shattered his boy wizard image for the time … Continue reading
UPDATE: Apologies for posting old news, but, like I said, I haven’t been keeping up on the development of American Dog, which has been rechristened Bolt. AICN ran some info on this project last week, and they posted a picture comparison between the Sanders version and the Lasseter-approved Chris Williams redo. They’re pretty drastic, and … Continue reading
This is the part of the job I just hate… There are two schools of thought re: the compiling of a year’s "worst" movies: either you lambaste the ten most unspeakable atrocities, or you pick over the most profound disappointments. Generally, I’m sticking with the former (if only because it requires less thought), but before … Continue reading
Bill Bryan’s Keep It Real is one of the funniest and best books of the year. It is utterly vicious in it’s humor and smart as hell in it’s satire of L.A. life, Hollywood, and the Reality Television industry. Not a page goes by where there’s not something incredibly offensive, and if you have a working … Continue reading
This editorial includes spoilers for Lars and the Real Girl, a movie that sucks ass. The story about Ryan Gosling is that he’s this intense young actor who doesn’t take part in the usual Hollywood bullshit. He’s for real, man, and he takes his work very seriously. He even grew a beard and got fat … Continue reading
My Sundance housemate Frosty from Collider sat down with screenwriter Christopher Hampton recently and got the scoop on a movie that could be Frank Darabont’s follow-up to Fahrenheit 451: Tokyo Rose. Darabont, a well-known writer in his own right, is working with Hampton because he’s looking to be able to make more movies. Thus spake … Continue reading
Even with news slower than Britney Spears’ head-dropped child, I managed to miss a little nugget of info that the handsome Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons grabbed last week. Thanks to the folks at Cinematical I’ve seen it today: Hitman director Xavier Gens apparently told Le Film Francais that he might be directing the new … Continue reading
