If I was a betting man, I would lay my money down on a Justice League movie hitting theaters in 2009. IESB has heard from their sources that Warner Bros is looking to get the film underway by early next year; I can confirm that from my own sources: this is a hot property at … Continue reading
Every time I hear something new about Cloverfield or 1-18-08 or whatever, I am more and more drawn to the belief that the emperor has no clothes. We’re four or five months away and don’t have a title for the movie yet, which is interpreted by some online as ‘kewl.’ To me it’s ‘kweer.’ The … Continue reading
Props to Latino Review, who called this one back in May: commercial director Joseph Kosinski has been tapped to direct the remake (or re-adaptation) of Logan’s Run, the film that Bryan Singer left to fail at Superman Returns. Kosinski is probably best known for the Gears of War commercial that uses Mad World on the … Continue reading
The Crop: Passengers The Production Company: Davis Entertainment? The Director: None The Writer: Jon Spaihts The Actors: Nada The Logline: "A guy wakes up on a space ship that’s on a 120-year mission 90 years early, and apparently is the only one on the ship.

3:10 To Yuma has it all. Leather. Guns. Shootouts. Bale. Crowe. Harvey Fierstein. I mean, seriously…this looks to be a nice night out at the movies. It’s directed by James Mangold, features two worthy leads (One and a half, if you’re of the same mind as Dev, it seems), and supposedly has a rather fearsome … Continue reading

I hear Judd Apatow … Continue reading

When the seventy-one-year-old writer-director tried to downshift back to comedy after Match Point, he delivered the pleasant but forgettably benign Scoop (which, I’ll admit, is better than … Continue reading
As a straight man who experienced puberty while Ronald Reagan was still president, the name Zac Efron fills me with a profound sense of ‘Who the fuck is that?’ Wikipedia tells me that Zac is in no way related to Nora (the spellings of the last names are different, but who knows how these Hollywood … Continue reading
Not content with the controversy he’s surely going to cause with his documentary on religion (currently titled Religulous… eh), Bill Maher has revealed to the all powerful, all knowing, perhaps thirty-percent living Larry King that the film is targeting an Easter ’08 release date. You’ll recall Easter as the day that, according to the New … Continue reading
The excitement we felt over the reteaming of Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro in The Winter of Frankie Machine may be evaporating. According to Frosty over at Collider, Scorsese has dropped out of the project, and by leaving he has put the whole thing in jeopardy. Frankie Machine was going to be DeNiro and Scorsese … Continue reading
