Hong Kong's Wen Wei Po newspaper has always stood for truth and integrity in journalism, but I'm finding it slightly difficult to believe the premise they're reporting of a new Snow White movie starring Natalie Portman and Jet Li. Aside from the fact is isn't being reported in ... / Continue →

I won't say this movie is going to be in any way good, but this latest trailer to Rob Zombie's Halloween remake does look slightly better than I thought it would, even with what appears to be that little Hanson drummer as the young Michael Myers. But watching it, I couldn't hel... / Continue →

Someone forgot to walk Ryan Reynolds. Watch this trailer to John August's The Nines and see if you have any idea what it's trying to do besides elicit the response, "That shit looks f***ed up, dog." First it seems like a supernatural horror, then it's like some multiple identit... / Continue →

Is this movie conceivable? Debate. Avalon Family Films has plans to make a series of ten low-budget family films, the first being a live-action rendition of the classic fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk. Katey Sagal, Wallace Shawn, Gilbert Gottfried, Chevy Chase, Christopher Ll... / Continue →

As you may have deduced from my clever headline, Frank Miller has found the star for his adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit in actor Gabriel Macht. Macht, who most recently starred in The Good Shepherd, will fight the villainous Octopus (played by Samuel L. Jackson) as the ... / Continue →

Thanks to Goody for passing along this National Treasure: Book of Secrets trailer. What really bothers me about this movie--aside from the infeasible plot, gimmicky action, and over-the-top situations--is just how smug everyone is constantly acting. If you're going to say that ... / Continue →

Hate or love his movies, you have to admit Kevin Smith the human being is pretty cool. He was at 2007 Comic-Con doing a panel when a "fan" accosted him at the mic. And this, my friends, is the result. NSFW language and all that.... / Continue →

The poster to Pixar's latest, Wall-E, takes a graphical approach that I think really works. I could only find a low resolution version so far, so I can't tell what the text at the bottom reads, but I'm hoping it explains why he looks like such a miserable bastard. Source... / Continue →

MTV got their hands on the limited-edition Hellboy 2 poster from Comic-Con, illustrated by Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Guillermo del Toro’s Hellboy 2: The Golden Army comes out Summer 2008, and from what I can tell will pit Hellboy against a giant crane game. "You will be min... / Continue →

Maxim's Hometown Hotties campaign goes to hometowns searching for hotties. Maxim is teaming up with Screen Gems in a three-picture deal that will continue targeting the horny douchebag demographic that currently stocks their bathroom with the magazine. First will come Virginity... / Continue →

For once Hollywood has realized that an original Frank Miller design might be better than whatever crappy mosaic of stars' faces they can cook up, so they've gone with the original graphic novel cover design for the Whiteout poster. The only real difference between designs is t... / Continue →

Jon Favreau screened a trailer for Iron Man at ComicCon this last weekend, providing a peek at the first real footage of the film. Luckily, as seen above, the power of shoddy bootlegging has brought the clip to those of us who refuse to kowtow to convention exclusivity. T... / Continue →

In further depressing news since yesterday's death of Ingmar Bergman, it's been announced that television personality Tom Snyder died Sunday in his San Francisco home due to complications with leukemia. Though as an adolescent I referred to him as "the guy with the eyebrows" th... / Continue →

Sony Pictures has put up the red band trailer for 30 Days of Night as well as an exclusive scene from the film after the trailer. I wasn't too impressed by the graphic novel but the movie looks like it has potential. If anything because there's vampires, blood, and, wait for i... / Continue →

One of cinema's most legendary and innovative directors, Ingmar Bergman, died peacefully today at 89, leading many witty film intellects to observe that he finally lost his chess game with death. Nominated for nine Oscars between 1960 and 1984, he stood as one of Sweden's most ... / Continue →

WARNING: while watching this gore-filled red-band trailer, don't get caught up in the zombie ravaging and start thinking it's going to be something good beyond that. The name "Resident Evil" attached to it guarantees this will be mostly, if not entirely, stupid.... / Continue →

This piece of concept art for the new Hulk with Edward Norton was unveiled at ComicCon this last weekend, showing a somewhat darker direction for the character. My only complaint is that they had to show it to the ComicCon crowd, where Lou Ferrigno was surely charging for autog... / Continue →

This international trailer for Robert Zemeckis's Beowulf still features essentially the same creepy shots of too-realistic-for-anyone's-good CGI characters, and you'll still be left wondering what the point was of creating such realistic versions of the voice actors instead of ... / Continue →
