‘Dominion: Dinosaurs Vs. Aliens’ To Feature Smart Dinosaurs And Speaking Aliens By Germain Lussier/May 25, 2012 4:00 pm EST For the past year, Men in Black 3 director Barry Sonnenfeld and comic book writer Grant Morrison have been working on a graphic novel called Dominion: Dinosaurs vs. Aliens that will eventually be turned into a movie. The idea was to tell the “true story” of how dinosaurs became extinct as a massive “photorealistic CG movie in 3D....

‘Drive’ Author Says Novel Sequel ‘Driven’ Could Become A Film By Russ Fischer/June 4, 2012 10:30 am EST We were pretty big fans of Nicolas Winding Refn’s film Drive around these parts, but is there room for another chapter in the story of Ryan Gosling’s driver? James Sallis, who wrote the novel upon which Drive was based, has written a sequel called Driven. And now he says a film is in development based on the new book....

‘Super 8’ Trailer By Adam Quigley/March 11, 2011 5:23 am EST Get excited, folks. The full trailer for Super 8 has finally arrived. We got our first real look at footage from the Steven Spielberg-produced, JJ Abrams-directed ’80s throwback last month during the Super Bowl, but that was just a tease. This here ain’t no measly 30-second spot. This is two-and-a-half minutes of pure nostalgic euphoria. It even has the Amblin logo at the beginning....

‘The Darkest Hour’ Comic-Con Preview: When Energy Aliens Attack By Devindra Hardawar/July 23, 2011 4:32 pm EST The Darkest Hour, the new alien invasion film from producer Timur Bekmambetov and director Chris Gorak, is trying to differentiate itself from the scores of other alien films with a unique breed of invader: one made entirely of “lethal wave energy.” It remains to be seen just how unique the film itself will be, but after getting a sneak peek at a trailer and some early concept art today at a Comic-Con press event, I can tell you it will at least look cool....

Alan Alda Lands Roles In ‘Tower Heist’ And ‘Wanderlust’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 5, 2010 4:34 pm EST David Wain directing Alan Alda is something I can pretty easily picture. Brett Ratner directing Alan Alda is something of which I’d never even conceived, though I suppose Alda would have been right at home in Ratner’s The Family Man, with Nic Cage. Regardless, Alda will work with both directors as he’s been cast in both Wain’s Wanderlust and Ratner’s Tower Heist....

Amy Adams Choosing Between Three Roles, Including The New Muppet Movie By Russ Fischer/Oct. 4, 2010 11:59 am EST Amy Adams is justifiably in demand.

Bill Murray May Really Be The Holdup With ‘Ghostbusters III’ By Russ Fischer/Jan. 11, 2011 9:30 pm EST Briefly: Let’s rewind all the back to the early days of December 2010. That’s when Ernie Hudson said that Bill Murray is part of the holdup around Ghostbusters III. “I know he really cares about his work,” Hudson said, “which is probably why there hasn’t been another Ghostbusters as of yet. Dan and Harold are working on the script....

Comic-Con ‘Tintin’ Footage: This Ain’t ‘The Polar Express’ By Devindra Hardawar/July 22, 2011 1:56 pm EST For his first trip to Comic-Con, Steven Spielberg showed off some brand new Tintin footage, finally answering some of our lingering questions about the film’s 3D motion-captured aesthetic. The good news: Tintin looks fantastic. While there are still some signs of the uncanny valley, this is the first motion-captured film I’ve seen that does a realistic job of showing off facial nuances....

Confirmed: Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 Will Be Shot In 3D By David Chen/May 17, 2010 8:46 pm EST The Pirates franchise has been on a tumultuous road as of late, with former Disney chairman Dick Cook’s departure potentially putting the fourth film in jeopardy. But it looks like things are back on track for now, as Disney chairman Rich Ross has just made it official today that Pirates of the Carribean: On Stranger Tides will be shot in 3D....

David Fincher Adds Christopher Plummer To ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 29, 2010 9:21 pm EST This was probably an easy call for the David Fincher camp. As the director is pulling in the actors for his version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, one man who got the call is Christopher Plummer. The surprise is that he’s playing Henrik Vanger, i.e. the character who sets the plot in motion by hiring Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) to ferret out the truth behind a family member’s disappearance....

Hayden Christensen Hints At Plot For Jumper Sequel, Claims Talks Are Happening By David Chen/Aug. 19, 2010 7:31 am EST Doug Liman’s Jumper debuted in 2008 to a tepid critical response and didn’t exactly do gangbusters at the box office either, taking in only $80 million on an $85 million budget (although its worldwide total did reach $222 million). Nonetheless, the film did well enough that several of the people involved with it, including Liman himself, have speculated about a possible sequel....

LOL: Living Stormtrooper Prank By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 17, 2010 10:00 am EST A man decides to scare his girlfriend by replacing the mannequin underneath the Stormtrooper armor costume in his living room, with a person. As Break.com puts it: “We’re going to have to question the validity of this video on the grounds that he has Star Wars Stormtrooper armor and a girl in his apartment, simultaneously. Impossible.” Watch the clip now, embedded after the jump....
