I never thought there would be a representation of A Goofy Movie that could make me feel any more uncomfortable than the David Lynch version. I was way off on that. This makes me feel far more uncomfortable. Over half a year devoted to this. That's so much time that could have... / Continue →

Fuck me, a Police Academy remake? Yes, say Hollywood Reporters: New Line is looking for recruits for a relaunched "Police Academy" movie. Original producer Paul Maslansky is back for the new iteration, which has no writer or director attached. "Academy" was a seven-film lowb... / Continue →

Still not familiar with Arthurian legend? (Arthur, the Arthur sword, Guinevere, Sam Neill as Merlin, etc.?) Good news! You're going to have at least two more chances to catch up on the centuries-old legend! Pajiba reports that, in addition to Bryan Singer's Excalibur remake, Gu... / Continue →

Remember how Fox tried to remake the brilliant, British, Simon Pegg/Jessica Hynes (née Stevenson)/Nick Frost/Edgar Wright sitcom Spaced? Well, they did, and it was so bad that the network didn't even bother airing it (and this is the network that continues to air the Everybody ... / Continue →

No, not the swimming pool game of your childhood (though that, and Red Rover and Red Light/Green Light, will be movies soon enough). Marco Polo, the Venetian merchant and explorer, is going to be a movie, now. But don't worry: this isn't going to be some boring thing based on "... / Continue →

From USA Today, here's a first look at Zack Snyder's adaptation of Kathryn Lasky's Guardians of Ga'Hoole books, Legend of the Guardians. Alternately, if you're unfamiliar with the series, here are the CGI owls in some movie about owls.... / Continue →

For over three years the promise of a Smurfs movie has loomed over us, an approaching blue storm cloud that just won't seem to let lose its deluge of mediocrity. As it's grown closer, we've been able to make out more details--that it will mix live-action and CGI, that there wil... / Continue →

If you're a fan of both this year's Oscar favorites and the terrible humans of Jersey Shore, I've got just what you want to gape at with a baffled stare: the cast of brain-wrecking MTV show recreating scenes from this year's Best Picture batch, thanks to Mr. G. Lopez (TBS, very... / Continue →

Nicolas Chartier, that fool producer who, in violation of Academy rules, sent out an email asking voters to choose his film over an unnamed "$500 million film", can cancel his reservation at Tuxedo World. The BBC reports that, despite his apology, the Hurt Locker producer will ... / Continue →

You know, thinking about it, Hollywood's big cash-in on '80s nostalgia has really been unfair. Sure, my pleasant childhood memories of manufactured pop culture are being hauled out, polished, and built into both familiar and entirely unfamiliar feature films, but what about pre... / Continue →

On Oprah yesterday, Oprah gave an extended shout of Roger Ebert's name as an introduction (I assume) and the film critic revealed his Academy Award predictions and debuted the new Stephen Hawking voice he discussed in his Esquire interview, a set of vocals constructed from old ... / Continue →

A good sign your film has some problems is when you start thinking adding an arbitrary period in the name might be a good idea. Another good sign your film has problems is that your protagonist can't figure out if she's dead or not because Liam Neeson keeps telling her, "Nah, y... / Continue →

Missile Command and Asteroids are already needlessly headed to cinemas as soon as producers figure out why there would be a Missile Command or Asteroids movie. It only makes sense Space Invaders too should be given a confusing chance at movie stardom. The LA Times says Warner ... / Continue →

I'm afraid you're going to have to amend your I'm with Cancer mural. The film, which began shooting last month in Vancouver, has lost star James McAvoy and replaced him with another actor from the stable of decent young actors who aren't so manly as to be unrelatable to we timo... / Continue →

All shed a tear for Mario Lopez, for tomorrow he shall have to let those words pass his lips on Extra in the wake of this: Justin Timberlake has nabbed the coveted role of the male lead in "Bad Teacher," the Cameron Diaz comedy Jake Kasdan is directing for Columbia. Molly Sha... / Continue →

Why don't you begin, Harrison? "Steven [Spielberg] and George [Lucas] and I are sort of agreed on a germ of an idea and we're seeing what comes of it." Harrison Ford, 67, says despite coming up with an idea for the movie, people won't see the finished product for some time. ... / Continue →

It's got director Michael Mann; it's got Deadwood creator David Milch; it's got horses; and now it has Dustin Hoffman. It's the new HBO horse-racing series Luck, so get ready for it to probably win Emmys in a couple years: Hoffman will portray a man in his late 60s just releas... / Continue →

Thought what you've seen of Tron Legacy's world of bright borders and neon lightbikes was awesome? Then check out Tron Legacy's other world of run down buildings and standard motorcycles! They're not actually as cool. Sorry. One more new shot of Flynn's Arcade at MovieGod. (Th... / Continue →

With her last several films returning less-than-stellar box office (you will never think of The Invasion again after just now), Nicole Kidman has decided to take the grim path of the safe, broad romantic comedy. Vulture has news she'll be taking the lead in the Wedding Planner-... / Continue →

Ready to see Jake Gyllenhaal jump around in a wig some more? Well, here's another Prince of Persia trailer. I suppose it looks alright, but I'm disappointed they don't give us any hint of Genie or "A Whole New World."... / Continue →

Curious about what's going on with that Zoolander sequel we heard about last week? Yeah, neither am I. Zoolander is a decade old and I'd pretty much forgotten about the movie and character entirely until a few days ago. It turns out that's the plan for the new movie, too: We ... / Continue →

Do you have that Facebook? (If so, log in now by typing "facebook login" in Google; as far as I know, that's the only way.) Want to hear a song from the soundtrack of Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim adaptation? Then you're in luck. Actual Canadian band Metric, who provide the musi... / Continue →

Can you believe you aren't supposed to treat the Academy Awards like a Class President election, telling all your friends to vote for you over the more popular kid? A producer for The Hurt Locker couldn't believe it either, so he did that and now he's in trouble: Oscar watcher... / Continue →

Mrs. Smith may still have more in her besides gun-shooting and Panda friend voices. Following news Earth's mother may be joining an Alfonso Cuarón sci-fi film, THR reports Angelina Jolie could star in a new Darren Aronofsky project: Angelina Jolie and Darren Aronofsky are in d... / Continue →

Your weekend box office numbers: 1. Shutter Island - $22.2 million. It's making enough money that, in a few years, it may be the #1 answer when Family Feud asks for a Scorsese film. 2. Cop Out - $18.6 million, not enough to take first place but enough to surely turn a profit ... / Continue →

Did you miss the super-secret Tron Legacy trailer premier this Saturday? Yeah, me too. But thankfully some other people, like Heat Vision's Borys Kit did see it, and have related their experience to us--which is idea if you're the type of person who will accept "hearing about s... / Continue →
