Gus Van Sant’s Harvey Milk biopic, bluntly titled Milk at present, got popular in a hurry. Somehow, I think the casting of Sean Penn in the lead role had something to do with that. Though they’re still "in negotiations", I’m pretty confident that the agents/managers/attorneys/dog walkers for Josh Brolin, Emile Hirsch and James Franco will … Continue reading
Time to break out the Champale once again! Former CHUD superstar Mark Wheaton (aka Smilin’ Jack Ruby) has got another screenplay headed for the big screen! And this announcement is especially gratifying because the script in question, Unfinished Country, has been a passion project for Mark for several years. Set in the Soweto slums of … Continue reading
Worlds collide! It makes a lot of sense that, when the time comes to cast a voice actor to make your gibbering creatures come to life, you’d go to someone with a lot of gibbering experience. Enter Mike Patton, who, we’re now told, voiced the creatures crawling around New York in I Am Legend. (Note … Continue reading
Slashfilm has gotten a big scoop on the casting for the GI Joe movie, and it’s not news that’s as surprising as Sienna Miller playing The Baroness. In fact, it’s sort of obvious when you think about it: Ray Park has been cast as Snake Eyes. If you wasted your youth bathed in the glow … Continue reading
Entertainment Tonight, an oasis in the television landscape for true hardcore cineastes, has scored the first behind the scenes footage from Speed Racer showing Matthew ‘Foxy’ Fox in his full Racer X costume. Unsurprisingly, Racer X looks like he just escaped from an S&M dungeon in The Castro; the Wachowskis are bringing their personal touch … Continue reading
There have been a lot of Flash games created to promote one movie or another, and we’ve brought you plenty of links to them in the past, but I don’t think any of them have been as much fun as the Michael Myers Rampage game, available right now on the Halloween remake website. In the … Continue reading
Whatever its eventual flaws (and if it’s anything like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, it’ll have lots of ’em), it appears that Prince Caspian will at least look like a studio-produced fantasy epic. Amazing what a $744 million wordwide box office gross will get you. Location-wise, the saga still seems kinda small, but … Continue reading
Superhero Hype! has the official The Dark Knight teaser poster, and it’s a pretty interesting design. Not something I’d want to hang on my wall, exactly, but it’s certainly different. I wonder if people who don’t know the film features The Joker will exactly get what it is that they’re looking at. And is that … Continue reading
It’s true, this is exactly how it happened.
King of Queens is probably best known among the geek contingent as the sitcom that kept Patton Oswalt gainfully employed for nine seasons, but, judged against its admittedly shitty prime time competition, it was also an innocuous, occasionally funny showcase for the likable Kevin James. Granted, I only watched maybe five whole episodes of the … Continue reading
