The news that screenwriters Michael Dougherty and Dan Harris have "opted not to come back" for Man of Steel is surprising in one regard: up until now, I didn’t think Warner Brothers was serious about reinventing the failed re-whatever of D.C. Comics’ signature superhero. While I can’t speak to any schism between Bryan Singer and … Continue reading

Last night I was walking down Hollywood Boulevard and a Sexy Nurse walked past me. Usually I would assume she was just a hooker, but I soon saw more people in costumes; there must have been a pre-Halloween party somewhere in the area. I have to admit that I took a long look at the … Continue reading

This should not be. His books are funny, original, and rather than plots driving the characters, the characters drive … Continue reading
I was talking with CHUD’s own Jeremy Smith about White Jazz the other day, saying how excited I was for it. Jeremy said he had heard that the project was in trouble; I laughed it off, saying that if George Clooney wanted to make the movie, the movie would get made. George Clooney has dropped … Continue reading

But it’s only as of yesterday that we know Aronofsky is actually in talks to direct.

His big screen take on Maurice Sendak’s Caldecott Medal-winning picture book wrapped principal photography last December, and, since then, we’ve been teased with one amazing still image (seen above). Other than that, all has been excruciating mystery. Until now. … Continue reading
