Dave Davis reported to you a few days back that Mel Gibson is directing a new film, called Apocalypto. You can read Davis’ article here, where he tells us that the film is to be written by Gibson, it’s a historical action piece, and it revolves around an ancient civilization. And where you can see … Continue reading
I saw Stealth last night. It looks like Boston’s favorite son, Dave Davis, will be reviewing it for CHUD.com, so let me just give you my quick impressions: dumb, dumb, dumb but fun. Sure, the attempts to shoehorn some commentary are out of place, and hey, not a whole lot of it makes sense. And … Continue reading
A quick note. I’d love to start running RON pin-ups from reader/artists, so if you have a character you like, send me a JPG no wider than 400 pixels at nick@chud.com. We’ll run them. To help fill in the blanks a little, we’re going to be running profiles right from the files of Lt. Mike … Continue reading
It’s funny how things work out. In our very first San Diego Comic Con half a decade ago or so, we did very little press because we were pretty much considered a pile of crap by the studios. Now, we’re kind of snooty when it comes to doing press at the con for fear of … Continue reading

The Transformers movie may be hitting rumor potholes (though I have little doubt the movie will get made), but other creative/greedy types are looking at options while the mechanics get Optimus Prime roadworthy. Longtime producer Mark Gordon (Speed, Saving Private Ryan) is piecing together the giant mechanical … Continue reading
Did you read my exclusive interview with Jon Favreau from San Diego Comic Con? Not only did he reveal that he reads CHUD.com (as all rightminded citizens should), he also talked about how important practical effects were to him when making his new film, Zathura. Now there’s a trailer for the family sci-fi adventure, and … Continue reading
Richard Clarke, the counter-terrorism expert who blew the whistle on how the White House willfully ignored pre-9/11 threats and that the Bush Administration was ready to invade Iraq no matter what the evidence against Hussein was, is writing a novel. And in the way of such things, the novel has been optioned. Called The Scorpion Gate, … Continue reading
The new Steven Spielberg film, one of my most anticipated movies of the year (and how insane is it that the guy is filming a movie in July that will be out this year?) now has a title. It had been going under a variety of names, including Vengeance, which was pretty generic, but it … Continue reading
