Back when UPN and The WB joined forces to make The Next Big NetworkThat Nobody Watches (or The CW, as the kids call it), a few shows got the axe before they ever saw the light of day. One was Tanner Hall, originally set to air on UPN and then be subsequently cancelled, because, well, … Continue reading
Here’s something to get you excited on a Monday: a script by unknown writers is set to be made by an unknown director, produced by the guys that made a film everyone hated vehemently: Rob Zombie’s Halloween. The script is Hurt, in which a group of friends are reunited after the suicide of one former … Continue reading
Does the sound of Michelle Trachtenberg trying to fuck her father (Matthew Perry) as a seventeen-year-old boy (Zac Efron) get you hot? What’s that? You’d just prefer the sight of Trachtenberg performing lazy, heroin-fueled sex with Perry in a dingy motel room off of Route 6 in Freemont, Ohio? Me too. Sadly, this is not … Continue reading
Just before Thanksgiving I had one of those phone calls with Devin where we talked about Christian Bale. In this case, it was the (at the time) only partially confirmed rumor that Bale would be in Terminator 4. AICN had just run some info, and Devin quickly followed with news he’d been sitting on for … Continue reading

It’s a post-strike project to be written by Charles Randolph who, as the writer of The Life of David Gale, was … Continue reading

I don’t mean to toot my own trumpet, but I got by far the best answer out of Will Smith at today’s I Am Legend press conference. And all I had to do was ask about the latest on Empire, his next collaboration with Michael Mann. Granted, I didn’t get much in the way of … Continue reading
It’s feeling a bit rumory on the internet these days. The latest to come down the pike arrives thanks to MarketSaw – a blog I never heard of before this week when they broke a picture of an Avatar alien apparently legit enough to force Fox lawyers to send out cease and desist letters – … Continue reading
Last week Harry Knowles and I both learned that Christian Bale would be in Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. Harry’s source told him that Bale would be playing John Connor, while mine wasn’t so sure.
