RATED AARGH! #27- NOT COOL
Oh, those crazy Spartans.
Oh, those crazy Spartans.
We’re in the midst of a blast of news regarding upcoming animated projects this morning, and Dreamworks Animation aims to be the one that trumps them all. They’re putting all of their eggs in the basket of digital 3-D animation starting in 2009, which is about when they expect that the wide distribution of digital … Continue reading
I’m absolutely dating myself here, but I remember when there was a time when major animated films weren’t completely riddled with major Hollywood stars. I mean, the big names for, say, Transformers: The Movie were Leonard Nimoy, Robert Stack, and Orson Welles, and this wasn’t anywhere near the prime of the career of any of … Continue reading
A few weeks back we reported on the development of a film based on the hardboiled novel, Life is Hot Cracktown. The book begs for an ensemble and, (not like I’m a prophet or anything, as anyone who read the book knows it’s crammed with a million characters) sure enough- it’s shaping up to be. … Continue reading

You’d think a giant ape would be enough animal for anyone. Not Naomi Watts, who has signed up to headline an adaptation of Amy Sutherland’s book Kicked, Bitten and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World’s Premiere School For Exotic Animal Trainers. (Buy the book from CHUD!) Sutherland spent a year at the school taking … Continue reading
Above is the ‘gag teaser’* for the new film from Adam Rifkin, the guy who directed Detroit Rock City (a serious candidate for a future CHUD Essentials), called Homo Erectus. It’s a caveman comedy, and the clips and trailers that we’ve been supplied with (see below) indicate that this is what Woody Allen may have … Continue reading
Drugs are no stranger to the filmography of Darren Aronofsky; his Requiem For a Dream is a brilliant look at addictions of all sorts. Now he’s put the kind of visionary filmmaking that has made his name a beloved one around these parts to very good use – a series of meth commercials for the … Continue reading
