C. Thomas Howell Dishes On ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ By Germain Lussier/March 18, 2011 5:00 pm EST Actors today, especially ones in huge tentpole movies, have to be incredibly careful about everything they say at all times. One inopportune slip of the tongue could snowball into a full on revelation when you were just idly chatting. The latest example of this is C. Thomas Howell, who we know will have a small role in The Amazing Spider-Man directed by Marc Webb and starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone....

Casting Notes: Ashley Greene In Butter; Glee’s Cory Monteith In Monte Carlo; Four More For Big Momma’s House 3 By Russ Fischer/April 9, 2010 1:59 pm EST I just wrote about Butter the other day — that’s the Black List script by Jason Micallef that is becoming a comedy with satirical overtones starring Rob Corddry and Jennifer Garner. Now Ashley Greene, aka the one reason I’d think about ever wanting to watch any of the Twilight films, is signing on to play “a rebellious high school teenager....

Check Out Empire Magazine’s Stunning ‘Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Photos By Angie Han/Sept. 30, 2011 4:00 pm EST We’ve already got a fairly good idea of what David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo will look like, thanks to all those previously released photos, trailers, and whatnot, but since everything has looked pretty damn stunning so far, we’re more than happy to flip through a few more pictures. Empire Magazine has unveiled some gorgeous new promo pics of Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara in character in their latest issue....

Cool Stuff: Daniel Danger’s Mondo Star Wars Poster ‘Sanctuary Moon’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 8, 2010 6:00 pm EST Daniel Danger has one of the most distinctive styles of all the poster artists working today. Dark and detailed with a lot of shadow and light, when Danger tackles a pop culture subject, you’re in for something special. We first saw Danger’s work when he did an awesome set of Amelie prints, and he was one of the breakout artists from the Lost Underground Art Show with his gorgeous rendition of Jacob’s Cabin and the insta-sell out of The Black Rock....

By Russ Fischer/May 7, 2010 5:47 pm EST Late last year, the MPAA filed a request with the FCC to be able to “send movies fresh from the box office” to American homes. In other words, studios could broadcast new or recently released movies to cable and/or satellite subscribers, essentially creating a new release window prior to DVD release....

First Look: Daniel Radcliffe As Allen Ginsberg In ‘Kill Your Darlings’ By Angie Han/March 19, 2012 3:00 pm EST Daniel Radcliffe’s days wearing Harry Potter’s world-famous round specs may be over, but in one of his first post-Hogwarts roles, he’s donning another iconic pair. Specifically, Radcliffe’s put on Beat poet Allen Ginsberg’s tortoiseshell glasses for John Krokidas’ Kill Your Darlings, a fact-based drama about the early days of the Beat Generation....

Additionally, that’s the first image of Thor (Chris Hemsworth) with hammer in hand. Perhaps more important, there is confirmation that Thor and Captain America will both be released in 3D....

Joel McHale Joins ‘Spy Kids: All The Time In The World’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 8, 2010 8:19 am EST Briefly: Forget about the idea of Robert Rodriguez directing Deadpool — between Ryan Reynolds’ schedule and the fact that Rodriguez has Spy Kids 4 on the docket, things aren’t likely to line up for now. (And, after Machete, I’m glad.) So expect to hear a lot of casting news about Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in the coming weeks....

That means it will miss the upfronts and, at earliest, could be a mid-season replacement. That’s if it gets picked up, of course.

LOL: Jason Alexander Begs Assistance For The Netflix Relief Fund By Russ Fischer/July 28, 2011 2:30 pm EST Were you angered over the recent price changes implemented by Netflix? Actor Jason Alexander knows your pain, and is trying to help. As he says, “this is literally the worst thing that ever happened… to white people.” Watch a touching PSA after the break, but be ready to shed copious tears. Put a towel over your MacBook Pro first, to protect it....

Meryl Streep Confirmed For ‘Great Hope Springs;’ First Image Of The Actress As Margaret Thatcher By Russ Fischer/Feb. 8, 2011 6:22 pm EST The last time we heard about Great Hope Springs, it was looking as if Mike Nichols might direct the film, with Meryl Streep starring alongside Philip Seymour Hoffman and James Gandolfini. Now things have changed just a bit. Instead of Mike Nichols, David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) will direct....

Movie Trailer: ‘Stuck Between Stations’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 20, 2010 2:30 pm EST There’s a new trailer for the indie romantic drama Stuck Between Stations, which stars Josh Hartnett, Zoe Lister Jones and Sam Rosen. Brady Kiernan directed the film, which is named after the opening track on The Hold Steady’s 2006 album ‘Boys and Girls in America.’ Check out the trailer after the jump. I’ve watched this twice now, and while I do like the look of the footage and am curious about some of the ideas behind the split-screen editing in places (assuming that is actually in the film) I can’t get into the content....

The Uncool Visits The Set Of Cameron Crowe’s ‘We Bought A Zoo’ By Peter Sciretta/April 7, 2011 4:00 pm EST I’m a huge fan of director Cameron Crowe, and Almost Famous is one of my favorite films of all time. Before I started /Film, one of the websites I use to check on a regular basis was a Cameron Crowe fansite called The Uncool (which, yes, is a brilliant reference from Almost Famous)....

Toys Offer Another Look At The Lizard From ‘The Amazing Spider-Man,’ Corroborate Action Setpiece Rumors By Russ Fischer/Dec. 30, 2011 1:00 pm EST The first vague look we had at the Lizard in Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man was via a fairly low-rent plastic rendering: a Pez dispenser. (Well, the first look those who weren’t in Hall H when Sony debuted the character at Comic Con, anyway.) Concept art followed on the heels of that reveal, and now we’ve got another toy to help shape our understanding of the character’s look....

Tron Legacy Director Joseph Kosinski Pitching Oblivion To Studios This Week By Peter Sciretta/July 26, 2010 10:59 pm EST The filmmaker has since signed on to direct a remake of The Black Hole for Disney, is first in line for a third Tron film (which is currently being written), and most recently signed on to direct a “Bourne”-styled sci-fi thriller titled Archangels for producer Ridley Scott. Where does that leave Oblivion?...

Will Smith Attached To ‘Joe’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 28, 2011 6:00 pm EST For a guy who is often called the biggest movie star in the world, Will Smith has spent the last couple years in relative quiet. In 2008 he starred in Hancock and Seven Pounds, but he hasn’t shot a film since. He’s got part of Men in Black III in the can, but he seems more occupied with attaching himself to a long string of projects (The Legend of Cain, Hood, Flowers for Algernon, Suspicion, The City that Sailed, Colossus: The Forbin Project, and more) and producing films for his children Jaden and Willow....
