Nicolas Winding Refn Producing Maniac Cop Prequel

Nicolas Winding Refn Producing ‘Maniac Cop’ Prequel By Russ Fischer/April 18, 2012 7:30 am EST The films of William Lustig are crude exploitation, but they’re strange and entertaining enough to find new groups of fans every few years. Maniac, for example is a chilly ride, and a film that is currently being remade with Elijah Wood as the unlikely but compelling choice for the title character. Vigilante is a Death Wish- and poliziotteschi-influenced urban crime movie with a cartoonish tone balanced by Robert Forster....

Watch The 2009 Comic Con Footage From David Fincher-Produced ‘The Goon’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 14, 2011 3:15 pm EST Good things come to those who wait; sometimes we just have to wait a very long time. Fans of Eric Powell’s supernatural head-busting comic series The Goon may recall my enthusiasm for the Comic Con panel held for the comic in 2009. That panel was where we learned that Powell was still working with David Fincher to make an animated film based on the comic, and that Clancy Brown and Paul Giamatti had agreed to voice the two main characters, the Goon and Franky....

Watch The Opening Scene Of Sacha Baron Cohen S The Dictator

Watch The Opening Scene Of Sacha Baron Cohen’s ‘The Dictator’ By Angie Han/April 26, 2012 12:30 pm EST I can’t really think of anyone more perfect to poke fun at vile tyranny than Sacha Baron Cohen, the guy who brought us Borat, Ali G, and Bruno.

So I’m a bit sad to admit that none of the clips or trailers we’ve seen for The Dictator so far have done all that much for me....
