Judd Apatow’s next film continues shaping up wonderfully, and the addition of Anne Hathaway to the cast only makes it better. The film is Knocked Up, and it promises to do for Seth Rogen what The 40 Year Old Virgin did for Steve Carrell – win him an Emmy for Outstanding Actor on a TV … Continue reading
Tom Cruise is eyeing new projects, now that Mission: Impossible: III is about to hit theaters and his demon spawn is secure inside Katie Holmes’ well-audited belly. The most interesting one is James Mangold’s remake of the classic western 3:10 to Yuma, which we just told you about yesterday. If Cruise did appear in the … Continue reading
One of the great things about Hollywood is that you can be arrested in drag while offering a cop sex for money and you’ll still possibly have a job in the morning. You can’t do that when you’re working at IBM. When I read that Lee Tamahori had been busted for just that offense (and … Continue reading
I loved Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story, so I couldn’t be more pleased that star Steve Coogan is reuniting with director Michael Winterbottom for another film, which would be their third together (24 Hour Party people came first). What I like a little bit less is that it’s going to be a serious … Continue reading
Both horror and comics are still quite palatable on the giant undulating tongue of Hollywood, and we’ll be treated to yet another such combo courtesy of Universal’s genre-centric subsection Rogue Pictures. Rogue will develop a flick based on the Devil’s Due comic Hack/Slash, which despite the name is not about bad writers and fetish fiction. … Continue reading
James "Loaded" Gunn’s upcoming alien invasion Slither has several of my favorite things: Elizabeth Banks, Nathan Fillion, Michael Rooker, and lots of sticky tentacles. The gore-splattered extravaganza hits theaters next month in all its writhing glory, but here’s a quick look at some on-set antics, courtesy of "host" (pun acknowledged) Nathan Fillion and whoever kindly … Continue reading
I guess New Line and Platinum Dunes might be serious about getting a new entry in the indestructible Friday the 13th franchise into theaters this Halloween after all. They’ve already found someone to sit in the director’s chair and orchestrate the carnage, and it’s someone experienced with the mangled meat of men. The studio has grabbed … Continue reading
After a long hard day blasting bad guys on the big screen (or, um… duck-sitting), hulking meat-machine Vin Diesel trades in his arsenal and grabs an Xbox controller for some relaxing violence in the comfort of his home/trailer/castle. The hardcore gamer (whose own game company was responsible for the rather excellent Chronicles of Riddick prequel … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a son. I especially can’t imagine what it’s like to lose a son to something as barbaric as a suicide bombing. My heart goes out to Yossi Zur, whose son Asaf was killed in a suicide bombing in 2003. My heart does not go out to the … Continue reading
