Iron Man Anime Opening Title Sequence By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 4, 2010 10:00 am EST Two years ago we reported that Marvel had tapped the famous animation studio Madhouse to create four anime series for release in 2010, the first two of which would be based on Wolverine and Iron Man. The anime projects are being written by renowned writer Warren Ellis (who most recently wrote the highly acclaimed G.I. Joe: Resolute web shorts)....

Relativity Media has Ness/Capone, based on the 2010 Black List script written by Grant Pierce Myers. The studio has just hired James McTeigue to direct it, as the filmmaker recently completed work on Relativity’s film The Raven....

Joe Carnahan Says ‘The Grey’ Could Get Oscar Run In October; Keeps Liam Neeson In Mind For Future Films By Russ Fischer/Jan. 25, 2012 1:00 pm EST Joe Carnahan’s new film The Grey opens this week, and the movie is a return to the early promise of Carnahan’s movie Narc, which was released in 2004. The Grey is a solid little movie that combines familiar characters with tense action and survival situations, and it should do pretty well with audiences....

Listen To Red Letter Media’s Review Of The Original ‘Star Wars’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 6, 2012 9:00 am EST Yeah, that’s right — just Star Wars. Red Letter Media became internet famous thanks to a feature-length video takedown of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Over the course of two more prequel reviews, the outfit did a very good job of articulating not only what didn’t work in the three new Star Wars films, but why the films failed in such specific ways....

LOL: Trailer For The ‘8 Mile’ Version Of Justin Bieber’s Life Story By Russ Fischer/Jan. 31, 2011 12:30 pm EST I just can’t get on board the with Justin Bieber hate. He’s a kid, he got lucky, he probably works hard, eventually he’ll go away. But I seemed to run across clips of his upcoming 3D film Never Say Never everywhere this week, as it comes out in early February. That strained my patience a bit....

Machete Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 8, 2010 2:30 pm EST I actually prefer the original Grindhouse faux trailer to the real full length trailer. Which ius strange since the real trailer features a bunch of big stars and a much bigger budget (estimated at $20 million). I think it might be that I just prefer the retro scratch-filled version. That said, the movie still looks like a bad-ass b-movie with an interesting cast....

Matt Reeves To Write And Direct Thriller Based On Original ‘They Live’ Short Story By Germain Lussier/April 11, 2011 1:30 pm EST Last we heard from director Matt Reeves, he promised that a Cloverfield sequel was coming. That might still be the case, but it won’t be the next film for the director of Cloverfield and Let Me In. Reeves will next write and direct a film based on the Ray Nelson short story 8 O’Clock in the Morning which was also the basis for the cult classic John Carpenter film They Live....

Michael Bay Shooting Transformers 3 With 3D Cameras By Peter Sciretta/July 2, 2010 9:00 am EST When USA Today confirmed that Transformers 3 would be released in 3D, I assumed that it meant that the film would be converted in post production. Why would I assume that Michael Bay wouldn’t be shooting the film with 3D cameras? Well… Bay has said in the past that the 3D cameras are too heavy and cumbersome for the fast pace action scenes he shoots....

Movie Trailer: ‘Death Race 2’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 8, 2010 3:00 pm EST For those of you who always wondered how the death race in Death Race began, it seems that Death Race 2, which comes straight to DVD and Blu-ray on January 18, will hold the answers you desire. From director Roel Reiné, the film stars Sean Bean, Ving Rhames, Danny Trejo and others. Besides the fact that it doesn’t have Jason Statham or Joan Allen in it, this sequel – even though it’s direct to video – looks right in line with the action, budget and effects of the first film....

New ‘Looper’ Poster Features A Chest-Bursting Bruce Willis By Germain Lussier/Aug. 22, 2012 3:29 pm EST Marketing a film can be tough but when you’ve got an intriguing, original idea like Rian Johnson’s Looper, it almost sells itself. The film opens September 28, but will play both Toronto and Fantastic Fest before that. It stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a man who kills people sent back to him from the future. When his future self, played by Bruce Willis, is sent back to be murdered, things get a little bit crazy....

New Posters: Peter Weir’s ‘The Way Back’ And John Cameron Mitchell’s ‘Rabbit Hole’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 28, 2010 8:00 pm EST Two good-looking posters recently hit for a couple of the fall’s more promising arthouse pictures. Both The Way Back and Rabbit Hole have some great early reviews out of festivals and screenings. Now each has a poster to call its own, and you can see both after the break....

Rade Šerbedžija Joins Angelina Jolie’s Bosnian War Film, Offers Plot Details By Russ Fischer/Aug. 25, 2010 9:31 am EST You may not know Rade Šerbedžija’s name, but his face should be instantly familiar, either thanks to his performance as an opportunistic costume shop owner in Eyes Wide Shut, the dangerous Boris the Blade in Snatch, a few memorable moments in Batman Begins or even his work on 24. Now he’ll be in that Bosnian war love story that Angelina Jolie is writing and directing, and the actor has dropped a few details about the script....

Robert Rodriguez Says ‘Sin City 2’ Will Be His Next After ‘Spy Kids 4’ By Adam Quigley/Oct. 11, 2010 9:00 am EST How many times can you be told something is going to happen before the promise loses all meaning? With Sin City 2, that question is being put to the test. Time and time again it’s been said that the film is gearing up for production—at one point it was supposedly written and ready to shoot, then it was put on the backburner, then it was ready to go again, then it sounded like it might not happen, then it was teased yet again—and for years, it’s been all wait and no reward....

Sci-Fi Short ‘The Raven’ Lands At Universal; Feature Version May Star Mark Wahlberg By Russ Fischer/July 16, 2010 3:59 pm EST The way that short films have been able to lead to feature deals with studios in the past year is rather stunning. The success of Neill Blomkamp, who went from the short Alive in Joburg to the smash success of District 9, helped pave the way for development deals for the filmmakers behind The Gift, Panic Attack and Pixels, among others....
