For years now, there’s been talk, talk, and more talk of a Voltron movie, and that’s mostly lead to…just more talk, whether it be rumors that Pharrell from the Neptunes had been tapped to score it or people who refuse – to this day – to let go of the idea that Cloverfield/1-18-08 is the … Continue reading
When I first heard that they were going to make a movie, Notorious, out of Biggie Smalls’ life, my mind immediately jumped into fantasy casting mode. And after about 5 minutes and a mild headache, I jumped right the fuck out of fantasy casting mode. The guy was truly one-of-a-kind, and that went for both … Continue reading
You mention that you still want to do a superhero film. You’ve been attached to Thor – is that still happening?’I’m not attached. We’re still discussing it. I’m interested in it. That’s from Devin’s interview with Matthew Vaughn that ran a few hours ago, though it was recorded about a week back. Now you don’t … Continue reading
I’m tired and there’s really no preamble that can do anything to dress this story up, so here it is: Warner Independent is going to remake Enter The Dragon, with Kurt Sutter, executive producer of The Shield, handling both writing and directing duties. Sutter’s take will be a little different from the version we know: … Continue reading
They already revealed his real name was "John" (thus confirming our suspicions that Carrie Bradshaw was always meant to be viewed as a high-class hooker)!

But what it means is that we’re about to get two sorts of films for the next couple of weeks: Films the studio … Continue reading
There’s a moment about halfway into Rush Hour 3 that sums it up nicely. Having evaded goons in the Parisian sewer system, Inspector Lee (Jackie Chan) and James Carter (Chris Tucker) arrive at their fancy hotel stinking of shit. In the elevator, reeking and dripping, also rides the French actress Silvie Laguna. (You might remember … Continue reading
In a move that baffled just about everybody, Paramount had the junket for their new fantasy movie Stardust in Los Angeles the same weekend Comic Con was happening in San Diego. If ever an event would have made a great backdrop for that junket, it’s San Diego. Plus, the crowd would have loved to have … Continue reading
Just the other day, I was talking to a friend about ex-Pythons. He was booking Michael Palin for a personal appearance, and mentioned that a co-worker considered him the sexy Python.
