‘Priest’ Trailer #2 By Russ Fischer/Jan. 11, 2011 1:14 pm EST We’ve seen one trailer for Scott Stewart’s Priest, which adapts the Korean comic of the same name and reunites the director with his Legion star Paul Bettany. The film was once delayed a bit and was post-converted to 3D, but will hit theaters on May 13. Now there’s a second trailer that uses a lot of the same elements as the first, but manages to make the story seem a lot more messy and incomprehensible....
‘Steve Jobs: The Lost Interview’ Coming To Theaters November 16-17 By Germain Lussier/Nov. 7, 2011 12:30 pm EST Sometimes death can make a famous person even more famous. When a music artist dies, their album sales go to the top of the charts. When an actor dies, their movies are all rented on Netflix. And when the billionaire CEO of the world’s most successful technology company dies, he, apparently, becomes a movie star....

For reasons I can’t quite make out, the two near-strangers decide to go on a male bonding canoe trip....

(“The timing of the story is unfortunate but this information is CONFIRMED,” Sneider tweeted.) So here’s how the late Apple co-founder will hit the big screen: via the grinning mug of current Two and a Half Men and former That ’70s Show star Ashton Kutcher, who will play Steve Jobs in an indie simply called Jobs....
Bruce Willis Chosen To Be One Of ‘Five Against A Bullet’ By Russ Fischer/March 2, 2012 9:30 am EST Briefly: Lorenzo DiBonaventura, the producer that brought Bruce Willis into the G.I. Joe fold, is recruiting the actor for another action role. The movie is Five Against a Bullet, and Willis will be one of five characters acting as bodyguard for a politician.

By Angie Han/Sept. 27, 2012 4:30 pm EST Whipsers of trouble behind the scenes have plagued Carl Erik Rinsch’s 47 Ronin ever since Universal bumped the film’s release from Fall 2013 to February 2013, and they only intensified when the studio moved the opening date yet again to Christmas 2013. Then last week, a report came out that seemed to confirm everything we’d feared....

Cool Stuff: Tyler Stout’s ‘Akira’ Poster By Germain Lussier/April 15, 2011 11:00 am EST It’s almost as if with each and every release, Mondo just keeps upping the bar. In the last few weeks alone we’ve seen a beautiful Kill Bill poster, Who Framed Roger Rabbit and two very cool Wes Craven posters. Thursday night in Austin, Texas, though, they started something new. Justin Ishamel, who runs Mondo, and Tim League, who runs the Alamo Drafthouse, began the Mondo Mystery Movie Series – a screening series that will be a total and utter mystery until the curtain goes up and they’ll have an extremely limited edition poster to go along with it....

Smith wrote a screenplay for The Green Hornet and when that film went in the Seth Rogen direction, Smith’s version got turned into a comic book. The same thing is about to happen with a script Smith wrote for The Six Million Dollar Man....

For example, you could pick up District 9 on Blu-ray for only $11, Ghostbusters or Close Encounters on Blu-ray for only $12....
Idris Elba In Contention For Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ By Germain Lussier/June 4, 2011 8:55 am EST Idris Elba generated quite the uproar earlier this week when he tweeted “Having one of the biggest meetings of my professional life today…meeting a very controversial director for a very controversial part.” Most people thought he was referring to Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

By Germain Lussier/June 7, 2011 1:30 pm EST Deadline broke the news of this proposed film, which is based on a story by Mike Weber and produced by Shawn Levy’s 21 Laps and Ted Field’s Radar Pictures. There’s no information beyond that but saying it’ll be animated and from Kong’s point of view seems to tease that this will be a less violent, more family-friendly version, maybe with a talking Kong....

Michael Keaton Replaces Hugh Laurie As ‘Robocop’ Villain By Angie Han/Aug. 29, 2012 4:21 pm EST The search has been on for a new Robocop villain since last week, when negotiations with Hugh Laurie fell through. For a hot second it looked like Clive Owen could step up to replace him, but now word is that it’s actually Michael Keaton who’ll take over the part instead. It seems like good news, if only because it means more big-screen appearances for Keaton....
Movie Trailer: ‘All Good Things’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 14, 2010 11:46 am EST Andrew Jarecki made a great documentary, Capturing the Friedmans, but his first dramatic feature, All Good Things, has taken some time to hit screens. The Weinsten Company sat on it for a year, Mr. Jarecki bought the distribution rights from the company, and now Magnolia will release the picture this December. Here’s the first trailer. Some poorly-chosen music and bargain-basement editing tricks make this trailer look a lot more run of the mill than the film might be....
