Joel Silver Producing Big Screen Ben 10

Joel Silver Producing Big-Screen ‘Ben 10’ By Russ Fischer/June 14, 2011 2:20 pm EST “I tried to do (something similar) with Speed Racer and failed miserably,” says mega-producer Joel Silver of his last foray into family films. “You always learn more from the ones that don’t work than the ones that do work.” The story is really that Joel Silver has been tapped to produce a tentpole version of the Cartoon Network licensing machine Ben 10, about a ten-year old boy who finds a watch-like piece of alient technology that allows him to take ten different alien forms....

Somber Alternate Opening To ‘The Avengers’ Would Have Set Up A More Serious Vision Of Superheroes By Russ Fischer/Aug. 28, 2012 10:36 am EST Joss Whedon’s The Avengers became one of the biggest releases ever, in part because it is an upbeat adventure that keeps a positive tone even as it features some pretty serious conflict. The film is hitting Blu-ray and DVD next month, and Marvel isn’t letting anyone forget that....

The good news isn’t so much the rating (I don’t really care what the film is rated) but that it is finished to the point where it could be submitted to the board for consideration....

After seeing Ramírez dominate the excellent mini-series Carlos, I’m hoping for him to break into greater public awareness than his supporting roles in films like The Bourne Ultimatum and Domino have offered....

Fright Night New High Res Images

‘Fright Night:’ New High-Res Images By Russ Fischer/April 8, 2011 2:00 pm EST Yesterday we saw the first three official stills from Craig Gillespie’s 3D Fright Night remake, which stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin, Imogen Poots, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Toni Collette, and David Tennant. The shots were pretty low-quality, though. Now we’ve got high-res versions of those images, complete with three more high-res images, and two magazine scans. None of these show enough vampiric action for my liking — and none have David Tennant; get an early look at him here — but they might be worth a look, anyway, especially on a slow Friday....

‘Melancholia’ Trailer: Lars Von Trier’s Beautiful Movie About The End Of The World By Russ Fischer/April 8, 2011 8:43 am EST The best thing I could possibly find on the web this Friday morning is the new website for Lars Von Trier’s upcoming film, Melancholia, complete with the first trailer for the movie. Though the story is (kind of) about the end of the world, the slightly not safe for work trailer (there is a little bit of nudity) is actually almost gentle in places....

Its humorous depiction of a young man struggling to get through his teenage years was so authentic, heartfelt, and moving that it vividly evoked all the trials, tribulations, and thrills of my own younger years in a way I was not prepared for....

We’ve known for some time that one of the subplots in the film would revolve around the relationship between Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), who’ve been dating since the original American Pie and got married in American Wedding....
