Barry Levinson Will Direct Timothy Mcveigh Bombing Movie O K C

Barry Levinson Will Direct Timothy McVeigh Bombing Movie ‘O.K.C.’ By Russ Fischer/March 3, 2011 9:00 am EST Barry Levinson has worked steadily for the last few years on films that weren’t exactly high-profile smashes (Man of the Year, What Just Happened) but scored big with the Jack Kevorkian film You Don’t Know Jack for HBO. He is finishing up the enviro-horror film The Bay right now. And the director now has a follow-up film set....

Brendan Fraser Starring In William Tell 3D And Historical Drama Four Kings

Brendan Fraser Starring In ‘William Tell 3D’ And Historical Drama ‘Four Kings’ By Russ Fischer/May 6, 2011 6:00 pm EST If it feels like Brendan Fraser is suddenly everywhere, that’s because he is. After being relatively low-profile for a couple years he is about to be in several films: he’s shooting the Belfast-based heist comedy Whole Lotta Sole right now, will soon shoot Gimme Shelter (playing against type as a less than accepting father) and now has two new roles....

Colin Firth Won T Torment Josh Brolin In Oldboy

Colin Firth Won’t Torment Josh Brolin In ‘Oldboy’ By Russ Fischer/Dec. 8, 2011 4:30 pm EST I think this is pretty disappointing. Spike Lee and Mandate Pictures are prepping a new version of Oldboy for an early 2012 shoot, and the film needs a new villain. Well, ‘villain’ is perhaps the wrong term. Regardless, Colin Firth had been offered one of the major roles in the film, and it wasn’t the ‘hero....

Cool Stuff The Edgar Wright Poster Collection By Lloyd Stas

By Germain Lussier/Jan. 6, 2011 4:00 pm EST In the past, if you wanted to make some art based on your favorite filmmaker, you’d have to make the art, print it out, find the filmmaker’s representative’s address, go to the post office, and ship it. Then, you’d hope and pray to get some kind of acknowledgment. Today, though, things are so much easier. Just put some art online and the person it’s about is bound to find it themselves....

First Look Joseph Kahn S Detention

First Look: Joseph Kahn’s ‘Detention’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 26, 2010 4:19 pm EST io9 got the images and info. Here’s the basic idea: Detention has been called “Back To The Future meets Scream, with a hefty dose of John Hughes teen movies.” That’s easy enough to throw out there, and it’s kind of obvious nerd bait. One thing you love, plus one thing that was once good and one movie icon = great, right?...

Guillermo Del Toro’s ‘Pacific Rim’ Will Be Converted To 3D By Germain Lussier/Sept. 12, 2012 12:18 pm EST Guillermo Del Toro didn’t want it, but he’s not signing the checks. Warner Bros. has announced that Pacific Rim, the director’s big budget robots vs. monsters sci-fi action adventure scheduled for release July 12, will be converted to 3D.

Iron Man 2 S Deleted Alernate Opening

Iron Man 2’s Deleted Alernate Opening By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 23, 2010 11:11 am EST Many of you probably noticed that Iron Man 2 was missing a sequence that was prominent in the trailers: a moment on an aircraft where Pepper kisses Iron Man’s helmet before throwing it off board and Tony dives to retrieve it as he makes his entrance into Stark Expo. Director Jon Favreau has said that the sequence was removed because he wanted to give Robert Downey Jr a big entrance, and the reveal of Stark on stage after landing worked better without the opening bit of comedy....

Martin Scorsese Gives Up On Film For Digital The Wolf Of Wall Street Will Be Digital 2D

Martin Scorsese Gives Up On Film For Digital; ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ Will Be Digital 2D By Germain Lussier/June 27, 2012 5:00 pm EST Another one bites the dust. Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese will shoot his next film, The Wolf of Wall Street, digitally, according to his long time editor Thelma Schoonmaker. His last film, Hugo, was also shot digitally but since it was in 3D, that made sense. The Wolf of Wall Street will be 2D, though, and Schoonmaker believes the decision marks Scorsese’s choice to officially abandon film for digital....

But that storyline culminates in The Avengers, and it’s time for Marvel to switch things up a bit....

The film is Oblivion (which has also been called Horizons, and said to be untitled as well) and was originally housed at Disney before the studio cut it loose....

Nope, There Won’t Be An Extended Cut Of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ On Blu-Ray And DVD By Russ Fischer/Sept. 12, 2012 10:03 am EST We’re so surprised to learn that the director who doesn’t do directors or extended cuts is continuing to not do directors or extended cuts for the disc release of his latest film. While rumors recently flew that Christopher Nolan would reinstate up to 30 minutes to the home release of The Dark Knight Rises, turns out they’re just not true....

The Pixar Blog has the info, which goes like this: Vague reports have pegged the short as being related to Hawaii, but it looks like the characters might not actually end up on the islands. Guess we didn’t really expect a great new landscape to be rendered for this short, but for the fans that just want to see the characters’ stories continue after the events of Toy Story 3, it probably won’t matter....

Some of those may actually happen, and one, the HBO and BBC co-production that seeks to chronicle the story of Julian Assange’s organization, just got some new contributors. Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall are now exec producers, and Rowan Joffe (The American, 28 Weeks Later) is writing the script....

Tv Trailer The River From Paranormal Activity Creator Oren Peli

TV Trailer: ‘The River,’ From ‘Paranormal Activity’ Creator Oren Peli By Russ Fischer/May 20, 2011 12:30 pm EST The faux-documentary/‘found footage’ aesthetic that Oren Peli has cultivated is put to good use here — I like it applied to TV rather than a movie. Granted, the trailer shows a lot of tricks that will be familiar to anyone who has seen one of the Paranormal Activity films, or any of the many similar movies that exist....
