Remember V, that miniseries from the '80s where human-like aliens come to earth and seem friendly enough until they start ripping their faces off to reveal that they're horrible lizard things, and also Beastmaster is there? Well, someone at ABC also recalls it, and recently sai... / Continue →

Seth Rogen and Mandate Pictures have picked up a pitch for a comedy about... cancer! Hey, cancer isn't funny; it's deadly! OUTCRY! Except this is the autobiographical story of a 25-year-old's struggle to fight the disease, which doesn't really sound offensive at all. OUTCRY RES... / Continue →

God, Twilight is so romantic. I wish someone would use super vampire strength to save me from an approaching, out-of-control Chevy Astro. Or run me up a tree at vampire speeds. Or throw large branches around willy nilly for me. Or present me with apples I'd dropped. Or murder v... / Continue →

Coming Soon has delivered the first look at the final Defiance poster, and suddenly I can almost see how Blade Runner 2 could work. Not really. Never make Blade Runner 2.... / Continue →

If blind people protested Blindness because it suggested the sightless were incompetent and savage, anyone who had a twin die in the womb with them should protest The Unborn for the implication that your dead twin will somehow continue to age into a creepy 10-year-old, then com... / Continue →

About four months ago, an image of Thomas Jane in Two-Face makeup and a cowboy hat showed up on internet, and people started saying, "Whelp, looks like Thomas Jane might be playing Jonah Hex, a comic book character I've only now heard of." Some questions were raised over its au... / Continue →

Max Payne opens in a week, but in case you hadn't picked that up from the previous five posters, here's another one to remind you. Clever photoshopping guns in Mark Wahlberg's hands to mask the actor's actual hopelessness. If we could see his limp, open palms, it would be way t... / Continue →

I'm sorry, Bedtime Stories, but this poster asks a more dire question than "what if the stories you told came to life?" How about "what if the stories you told came to life, and for some reason all involved various historical interpretations of Adam Sandler?" Then what? Forget ... / Continue →

Latino Review is reporting that Ryan Gosling, the man who beat your heart senseless with romance in The Notebook (I think, since I never saw The Notebook), is Warner's first choice to wear a green ring and pretend to be a superhero: You know who the studio wants to wear Abin S... / Continue →

David Cronenberg is negotiating with MGM to direct an adaptation of the Robert Ludlum political thriller The Matarese Circle, with Denzel Washington attached to star as a bad-ass running around with a handgun, as usual. From Variety: Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, b... / Continue →

Following the success of The Dark Knight and Iron Man, directors and studios are scrambling to pick up whatever remaining comic franchises they can get their hands on. But not Enchanted director Kevin Lima. He's not going to be fooled by the buzz. He knows what's really hot rig... / Continue →

Dark Knight screenwriter David Goyer recently spoke to MTV about all the rumors of casting, story, and the involvement of Christopher Nolan circling the next Batman movie. Basically (literally) he says it's all bullshit: Whether it’s that Chris Nolan has signed on, and will st... / Continue →

Whups, sorry for the sudden post absence over the last 24 hours. I've had some cyber-issues I had to resolve, which I resolved by hoping things would start working again until they did (thus far). I'll try to catch up. Anyway, from IGN, here's a new poster for Punisher: War Zo... / Continue →

I was just looking at Box Office Mojo, seeing if Get Smart really made enough to warrant a sequel (sadly, it did), and I noticed a link to the above chart on the front page. Is this depressing to anyone else? Just that Disney alone has made enough talking dog movies to warrant ... / Continue →

Sometimes, in between posts, I'll pause just to type the title of the upcoming TRON sequel, TR2N--admiring its simple, unpronounceable elegance--and I'll start to wonder a couple things. Is it "Tur-two-en," "Tron Two," or just "Tron" but you trace a two in the air as you're say... / Continue →

Well, it was only a matter of time: Helena Bonham Carter has been cast as the Red Queen in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Just like she was cast in Planet of the Apes, Big Fish, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Corpse Bride, and Sweeney Todd--every Tim Burton film for the ... / Continue →

Someone on the YouTube has posted some videos from the set of Kick-Ass (via /Film), where you can see a hint of Aaron Johnson in-costume as the titular hero. It's pathetic that Hollywood has beaten me down to a point that just this accurate recreation of the costume has given m... / Continue →
