But the film’s summer start date has come and gone, and now the project is staring down the barrel of 2009. Assuming it can see even an … Continue reading
Looking at this new US trailer for The Orphanage a second and third time, I’m happy to say that while there are at least half a dozen shots in there that give things away, no one is going to know what they are without having seen the film. (Except for you frame by framers. If … Continue reading
Say what you like about Jake Gyllenhaal’s acting chops, but the dude is fit. So fit in fact, ex-Jets Quarterback and 70’s product schiller THE Broadway Joe Namath has given the greenlight to a cinematic biography potentially starring the brother o’ Maggie himself– thanks in part to ol’ Joe feeling that Jake measures up to … Continue reading
