Watch The ‘Titanic 3D’ Trailer In 2D On Your Computer By Germain Lussier/Nov. 16, 2011 12:00 pm EST James Cameron’s Titanic remains the second biggest domestic box office hit of all time. It earned that status at a time when tickets were much cheaper and 3D wasn’t prominent. That means its $600.8 domestic gross in 1997/1998 is way more impressive than Avatar’s $760.5 million gross in 2009/2010. As you probably know, though, Cameron has figured out a way to add those 3D dollars to his Best Picture winner by painstakingly reworking the film to pop in the third dimension....

‘Dark Shadows’ - What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/May 11, 2012 5:30 pm EST There was the time when the release of a new Tim Burton movie seemed like a major event. And, after Alice in Wonderland made an insane amount of money thanks in part to being part of the immediate post-Avatar 3D boom, for Hollywood the release of a Burton movie remains a big deal. The director has a lot of fans still, for reasons that include his own particular blend of the weird and comic, an idiosyncratic approach to design, and his long working relationship with Johnny Depp....

‘Magic Mike’ Eyeing Broadway Adaptation By Angie Han/June 26, 2012 6:30 am EST Since the chiseled leads are a huge part of the film’s appeal, the question naturally turned to who might star in the theater adaptation. While it seems unlikely that the movie star cast will trade in their screen careers for the stage anytime soon, they generally seemed up for at least dipping a toe in. Alex Pettyfer asserted that he was “absolutely” on board for the Broadway show, adding “I think we should all do the opening night....

‘The Bourne Legacy:’ Scott Glenn Is Back For More By Russ Fischer/Aug. 11, 2011 1:44 pm EST When Universal gave Tony Gilroy a mandate to make a new Bourne film that might establish a series parallel to the existing trilogy starring Matt Damon, he pledged a story that would take place in the same world and expand upon some background elements seen in the three Damon films. To that effect he has been recruiting actors who aren’t Matt Damon but who did play important roles in the existing trilogy....

‘Transporter’ TV Show Filming Early 2011; ‘Taken’ Being Considered By Germain Lussier/Dec. 13, 2010 11:00 am EST Unless you’re a group of crime scene investigators or police detectives, there’s really not that much male-driven action currently on television. Luc Besson is hoping to change that in the coming months. Filming is set to being early next year on a $48 million, 12 part television series based on The Transporter. The films, which starred Jason Statham and were produced by Besson’s EuropaCorp, center on a driver who’ll transport anything you want, no questions asked....

83rd Annual Academy Award Nominations Announced By Russ Fischer/Jan. 25, 2011 5:53 am EST The full list of nominees is after the break. While Inception did manage to squeeze into the Best Picture race, Christopher Nolan didn’t get a Best Director slot. Glad that Javier Bardem got his nod for Biutiful, and that True Grit shows up as strong as it does. And people were afraid it might get shut out....

Noir’ By Angie Han/Feb. 22, 2012 10:45 am EST With Goodfellas and Casino scribe Nicholas Pileggi writing and James Mangold (Walk the Line, 3:10 to Yuma) set to direct the pilot, it’s probably not surprising that CBS’ 1960s Las Vegas-set Ralph Lamb is attracting some serious acting talent as well. Dennis Quaid is now in talks for the title role, a real-life rodeo cowboy who went on to become Clark County’s longest-serving sheriff....

Also, when I say DreamWorks, I’m not talking about the Steven Spielberg-produced live action division… This weekend Toy Story 3 took in over $110 million at the domestic box office, a new Pixar record....
