First rumored on IESB and now confirmed by Latino Review, news is that soon-to-be-Kirk Chris Pine has officially been offered the lead in Martin Campbell's Green Lantern adaptation. I have no information on whether or not Pine is utterly honest, fearless, and in possession of s... / Continue →

In the vein as Wes Anderson's American Express commercial, Sofia Coppola has made an ad for Dior that may wander even farther into the realm of hilarious self-parody:... / Continue →

The disappointing part is that "Is Anybody There?" is the title, not a tagline asking if anybody is there, to which the reply would be, "Yes, Michael Caine is here, in a strange, Being John Malkovich-style self-referential role." I don't know much about Is Anybody There?, but I... / Continue →

You can stop looking for Idi Amin or Gandhi in Stallone's The Expendables. Forest Whitaker and Ben Kingsley are out! And in their place, you're getting a 50-Cent and an Eric Roberts, respectively. Sly lays it out in the following message he sent to AICN: Hale Caesar is Curtis ... / Continue →

In the year 2018, there's probably no better feeling than strutting around with the decapitated head of a Terminator, its eyes still glowing red from its residual Terminator juice. Everyone's giving you high fives, or, if they also have a Terminator head, clanking the skull of ... / Continue →

Michael Cera and Jack Black take their type-cast personas to the deep past (deep past?): it's the Year One trailer. Life of Brian and History of the World: Part I at last have a modern equivalent--but still set in the past, obviously. Enjoy some comedy about human slavery:... / Continue →

Why isn't I Know What You Did Last Summer part of the standard school curriculum yet? College-age kids need to know that, if they accidentally kill someone and subsequently try to cover it up, someone will inevitably know what they did last summer, put on a murderin' hood, and ... / Continue →

Lionsgate is doing Twitter now--Twittering is super cool--and they've Twittered up this outdoor art for Crank: High Voltage. Striking yellow screams, "Hey, look, yellow!" while black splatter mutters, "Sometimes Jason Statham's elbows erupt ink." This is bound to be the talk of... / Continue →

We've come so far in terms of equality, America. It's about time the producer of Splash made a high concept romantic comedy about a merman: Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment have acquired "Merman," a romantic comedy script by Jennifer Abu Hollander. Pic will be pro... / Continue →

Pixar's old-guy-traveling-with-a-fat-boy-and-his-house film, Up will be opening the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, Variety reports. There, the audience will recognize the picture as a flowing, contemplative, utterly charming commentary on finding meaning in sedentary, octogenarian ... / Continue →

Sit Down, Shut Up! I forgot all about the upcoming animated series that will reunite Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett until this promo reminded me we're getting that. We've won. In the video, Bateman and Arnett manage to take the rar... / Continue →

If you were one of those precocious kids that thought the frivolity of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs could use a scientific explanation for the food precipitation and a relevant moral lesson about man playing God, this will be your CGI dream come true:... / Continue →

Sorry for the silent morning. Con Edison decided to dig some trenches and knock out the power for most of the day, disabling all my electricity-based devices. I'm probably upgraded to some sort of super electricity now though, so a fair trade all in all. Anyway, let's do movie... / Continue →

Who will play Thor? Who will play Thor's arch-enemy, Loki? And who will play Thor's Kim Basinger character? These questions continue to plague us, but Deadline Hollywood has some new semi-answers: ...there's a big push to cast Josh Hartnett either in the winged helmet and/or a... / Continue →

Sorry about the trailer fake-out earlier. That wasn't fair. Please accept the genuine happiness you're feeling from this poster as an apology. Note: the official website isn't up yet, but it looks like Warner Bros. did manage to get wherethewildthingsare.com from whatever wild... / Continue →

"Remember how, in the previous Terminator movies, learning computers kept getting sent from the future? This is that future, and Christian Bale is Edward Furlong." When those fateful lines begin Terminator Salvation, Linda Hamilton will be the one speaking them. A CHUD source w... / Continue →
-
Not yet. Soon, though. Like in two weeks, claims an informant for CHUD, who says the trailer will screen before Monsters vs. Aliens. The source adds that it's a full length, 3-minute trailer set to Arcade Fire's "Wake Up", and it looks "beyond the most grandiose superlatives." ... / Continue →

Hey, 20-somethings: time to stop hogging all the lack of direction! Being in your early thirties is quirky and smothered in non-diegetic music too! Example: this trailer for Away We Go, directed by Sam Mendes, written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, starring John Krasinki, May... / Continue →

July 1, 2011. That's when Variety says the third robo-man-car movie will be released. Try to wear a nice shirt this time, OK?... / Continue →

Are you ready to take the MAXIMUM RIDE???? Don't get too excited. It's just a movie about bird-teens and wolf-people directed by Twilight: Having put her stamp on "Twilight," Catherine Hardwicke is in talks with Sony's Columbia Pictures to develop and direct a film adaptation ... / Continue →

I'm genuinely worried that, no matter how engaging Terminator: Salvation might be, and regardless of any explanations given, I'm going to inappropriately laugh every time these tattered-garb Terminator pariahs come onscreen. My mind just can't handle the idea of a robot with a ... / Continue →

The nearly year-old rumor is true: MacGyver is only a MacGyver joke and an A-list writer away from a global franchise! New Line is using twine, bubble gum and a pencil to throw "MacGyver" into development as a feature film. "MacGyver" was a science-oriented adventure series t... / Continue →

As anyone who's looked through Chip Kidd's bizarre and hilarious Bat-Manga knows, giving the Japanese full control of mainstream American comic superheroes inevitably leads to madness. Watching their vision of the characters is like remembering a dream where, once lucid, you re... / Continue →

We've gone so long without solidarity among Gary Oldman, Bono, and mixed-martial arts star Bas Rutten that I'd started to wonder if it would ever happen. Until now, that is! Finally a cause has emerged that the bad guy from Fifth Element, the singer of The Sweetest Thing, and a... / Continue →

The box office this weekend: 1. Race to Witch Mountain - $25 million. My primitive mind found this version much more exciting than the original because the word "escape" had been switched to "race". You know--like RACING? 2. Watchmen - $18.1 million. Audience numbers droppe... / Continue →

That she's only one half a human, split lengthwise, so she's secretly always standing lined up against the end of a mirror, giving the illusion of a full form? Is that what's wrong with Esther? I'm betting it's either that or that she's not biologically related to her adopted f... / Continue →
