Lionsgate has provided some new stills from Frank Miller's adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit, and I have to say I'm pretty excited. All the green-screening going on gave me the sense they would have a similar look to Sin City, but I had no idea the film would take place on... / Continue →

For you ardent, obsessive fans who get excited at any new shot from The X-Files 2, even if it's just Mulder and Scully standing around in the snow, I present this image of Mulder and Scully standing around in the snow. You can really see in their faces how much they respectivel... / Continue →

In a divergence from their more-standard "If _____ wrote _____" pieces examining the wackiness of if someone wrote something they didn't, McSweeney's has posted "If Michael Chabon wrote the Spider-Man 2 Script", which is a divergence because he actually did write a complete dra... / Continue →

What up, dudes and dudettes? Are you totally stoked about Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li? Well, you totally will be after you read the rad new production blog by 24-year-old Aaron Horwitz ("comin' to ya live from Bangkok"), who is apparently somehow connected to the film... / Continue →

Remember that concept art from Pixar's Up that showed up a couple months ago? Well, now there's a fully computer-rendered version, perfectly recreating the image save for the inclusion of several exciting new door locks. Like meeting your dubious online girlfriend for the first... / Continue →

In 1992, when other kids were fawning over Robin Williams' masterfully wacky impressions in Aladdin, I remember being pretty excited over Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland. It's not that I had any knowledge of Winsor McCay's brilliant source material, but I liked that it w... / Continue →

"No, no, no--I've seen Lake Placid and Primeval. I'm just not convinced either have created the definitive story of a giant crocodile eating some dudes." Rogue One-Sheet [Shock Till You Drop]... / Continue →

In the upcoming Judd Apatow-produced Forgetting Sarah Marshall, our puppet-loving hero Peter's celebrity girlfriend dumps him for the lead singer of the tragically-titled band Infant Sorrow, Alduous Snow. So obviously we want to hate that guy. Thanks to a brilliant marketing mo... / Continue →

As the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 poster proudly proclaims, "some friends just fit together," y'know? Particularly when you're able to digitally manipulate said friends' heads into a TV-themed mass of hair and teeth. Making this poster must have been like playing Tetri... / Continue →

Science has long-ago answered the question of if chimps can survive in space (yes!), but can the original space chimp's grandson also survive in space, and be voiced by Andy Samberg? The answer, again, is unfortunately a yes, as is seen in this trailer to Space Chimps. If the o... / Continue →

Whew! Check out these smokin' ladies, lookin' all small and sexy for the four planned Tinkerbell straight-to-sexy-DVD movies. And while I appreciate Disney has finally addressed the fairy color barrier head-on, one can't help but notice the conspicuous lack of anyone in a winge... / Continue →

Following Uwe Boll's rant yesterday--in which he thew insults at Michael Bay, Eli Roth, and George Clooney--responses from all parties have already flooded in thanks to the power of internet-speed communication. Here they are. Michael Bay's response: "I find people who rant li... / Continue →

There is perhaps only one relationship more classic than the constant struggle between Earth and Moon, and that is the timeless romance between woman and vampire. (I say this from the imagined viewpoint of a lonely goth girl.) Based on the Stephenie Meyer novel, Twilight explor... / Continue →

As far as modern documentarians go, Errol Morris pretty much can't be beat (sorry, Morgan Spurlock). Over the years, the director has shown us that the man who invented the electric chair is a creepy Holocaust denier, that drifters aren't always murderers (usually, though), and... / Continue →

Perfect for the obsessive-compulsive animation fan, Disney/Pixar has announced their animation slate for the next four years. Plan ahead now to make sure you catch the Limited Platinum Princess Edition Disney DVDs before they leave stores! As expected it's a bit of a mixed bag... / Continue →

After an intense bidding war, Universal has reportedly picked up a new script by Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese in a deal "in the mid- to high-six figures." What makes this screenplay so valuable? Only that it has the most promising title ever written! Earth vs. Moon! EARTH VS. M... / Continue →

Not content with his claim that he'd stop making movies if one million people sign a petition, Uwe Boll has made a new video amending his challenge: he wants a pro-Boll petition as well! I guess any votes to that cancel out anti-Boll votes? Also, if you didn't know, he's not "... / Continue →

[Image removed at the request of Lionsgate] Egotastic has some early test shots of Silk N. Floss, Scarlett Johansson's character in Frank Miller's adaptation of The Spirit. If rigid, nerdy, authoritative clinicians are a fetish of yours, you will love these pictures. Probably al... / Continue →

Apparently the Bush film that casts Josh Brolin as the president and Elizabeth Banks as Laura might not be entirely accurate? The Hollywood Reporter has sent a copy of Oliver Stone's W script to four notable Bush biographers to get their comments, and they've had some mixed rea... / Continue →

It's a good thing I'm some sort of Dragonball purist, having dismissed the series after one episode of constant screaming (both on and off screen). Otherwise I might be upset to see this film version of Piccolo's costume, which has replaced the sinewy alien-meets-Lawrence of Ar... / Continue →

Sure, Kanye West provides us with countless beats that even your mom can listen to all while serving as a mounting point for the world's most idiotic sunglasses, but is he also a movie tipster? So it would seem--at least inadvertently. While visiting Jim Henson's Creature Shop ... / Continue →

Watch this music video for Lil Mama's "Lipgloss" and what's the first thing you see? A strange tale of a topical psychoactive lip drug? The question of "what you know about [Lil Mama]" drawn out over four minutes of clapping and stomping? Someone rhyming "crushes" with "crushes... / Continue →

In this new clip from Iron Man, hear RDJ quietly whimper as he prematurely tests the flight capabilities of his suit, proclaiming, "Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk." I'm not sure why a heavy metal video game soundtrack repeatedly plays in the background; presumably ... / Continue →

ComingSoon has received an exclusive new video blog (vlog?) from the set of Watchmen that covers arguably the most exciting aspect of production we've all been wondering about: set construction! It's actually pretty amazing to see how accurately they've visually recreated the c... / Continue →

Since he's been in a few notable movies--Ben-Hur, the Bible one, Wayne's World 2--I thought it only right that I mention the death of actor Charlton Heston. The Oscar-winning actor passed away Saturday night in his Beverly Hills home after a battle with Alzheimer's Disease. Tho... / Continue →

After mounting a nationwide campaign to promote fake political campaign for Gotham City D.A. and future Two-Face Harvey Dent, the Dark Knight marketing team has taken things to the next logical step: endorsements from more fictional characters. Watch below the cut to see the ne... / Continue →

Oliver Stone, continuing his trend of not-at-all glamorizing his George W. Bush biopic, has cast Thandie Newton and Ioan Gruffudd as Condoleeza Rice and Tony Blair, respectively. As you may recall, they join a cast that already confusingly includes Elizabeth Banks as Laura Bush... / Continue →

1. 21 - Another first-place week of $15.1 million paves the way for future odds-beating gambling movies, like Cracking Keno, or If You're Betting Last in Contestant's Row, You Should Probably Just Go with One Dollar. 2. Leatherheads - $13.5 million, which seems like a strangel... / Continue →

Responsible for such unwanted video game-to-terrible film adaptations as Alone in the Dark, Dungeon Seige, and the BloodRayne ones, Uwe Boll may be one of the worst (probably the worst) big-name directors working today. But that doesn't mean he's not a man of the people--provid... / Continue →

Hmm, how can we portray blindness in a poster for the movie Blindness...? Wait, I think I got it! If my understanding is correct, being blind is a lot like always seeing the form of a beautiful, long-haired woman behind a haze of foggy glass, so how about that? Oh... you say it... / Continue →
