Daniel Radcliffe And The Woman In Black By Russ Fischer/July 19, 2010 7:16 am EST One of the best things about the Harry Potter series of films has been watching Daniel Radcliffe grow into a real actor. With the Potter films all but done, there’s no small amount of interest in what Radcliffe will next do on film. He’s tapped for the version of All Quiet on the Western Front that might shoot in 2012, but before that he’ll take the lead in the 3D Hammer horror film Woman in Black....

David Koepp Now Rewriting ‘Men In Black III’ By Russ Fischer/March 2, 2011 1:15 pm EST The production schedule for Men in Black III has been a strange thing. A lot of footage was shot for the film last year, then a built-in production break kicked in at Christmas. Originally Sony was going to get the movie back into gear last month, but creative problems pushed the new resume date back to March 28....

Disney’s ‘Snow White’ Reimagining Gets A New Director And Title By Germain Lussier/Aug. 3, 2011 5:37 pm EST While Relativity and Universal have been publicity dueling with their competing Snow White films, Disney has been slowly developing one of its own. The project, formerly known as Snow and the Seven, has been in development since 2002 with the latest update coming six months ago when Oscar-winning screenwriter Michael Arndt came on-board to firm up the script....

Early Buzz: Iron Man 2 By Russ Fischer/April 27, 2010 9:57 am EST After last night’s LA premiere and with the film scheduled to open this week in much of the world, the review floodgates are pretty much open on reviews for Iron Man 2. While I don’t see the movie for a few more days, there is enough material out there to compile some profile of the basic response....

First Look: Jack Black In Richard Linklater’s ‘Bernie,’ Film Will Premiere At LA Film Fest By Russ Fischer/May 23, 2011 1:30 pm EST I’m hoping that the reunion of Richard Linklater and Jack Black turns out to be a very good thing. The picture above is the first still from Bernie, the director’s new film in which Jack Black plays a small-town mortician who befriends an old woman (played by Shirley MacLaine) and then… well, I’ll give you slightly more spoilerish info after the break, but all you really need to know is that Mr....

First Poster From ‘Dredd,’ Plus New Concept Images By Germain Lussier/June 10, 2012 12:00 pm EST With two major comic book movies being released in the next few weeks, some may have forgotten another hugely popular character has a movie coming out this year too. I’m speaking, of course, about Judge Dredd who’s getting a reboot simply called Dredd starring Karl Urban and directed by Pete Travis. Scheduled for release on September 21, we’ve seen a couple cool stills from the film but the teaser poster has now been revealed along with some sweet concept images....

HBO And Producers Apologize For Putting Severed George W. Bush Head In ‘Game Of Thrones’ By Angie Han/June 14, 2012 10:30 am EST There’s a pivotal scene in the first season of HBO’s Game of Thrones in which the spiteful royal Joffrey (Jack Gleeson) orders his traumatized betrothed to get an eyeful of the decapitated heads he’s used to decorate the castle walls. A couple of the faces are ones familiar to poor Sansa (Sophie Turner)....

International ‘Thor’ Poster By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 11, 2011 9:00 pm EST Marvel Studios have released an international movie poster for the big screen adaptation of Thor. A US one sheet was released last month, alongside a trailer. See the full international poster after the jump, The Official Plot Synopsis: Paramount Pictures and Marvel Entertainment present the epic adventure, “Thor,” which spans the Marvel Universe from present day Earth to the realm of Asgard....

Is Jonah Hex Delayed? No, Says WB, And Trailer Will Hit April 29 By Russ Fischer/April 16, 2010 2:25 pm EST Where’s Jonah Hex? We saw footage from the film at last year’s Comic Con, but aside from a few reshoot reports and word of Mastodon sharing scoring duties, there’s been basically nothing to report on the film since then. Few pics, no trailer. Earlier this week, as part of a rumor that suggested Lobo was dead at WB, there was a report that the studio isn’t happy with the film....

James Cameron Offers Brief ‘Battle Angel’ Update By Russ Fischer/Feb. 1, 2011 4:00 am EST In short: he still wants to do the movie. There are many projects that have been associated with James Cameron, and until Avatar seriously went into production he had several films that seemed perpetually like they could actually move forward, or vanish altogether. They include The Dive, Project 880 / Avatar, and Battle Angel, the final one being based on the manga Battle Angel Alita....

Jesse Eisenberg And Jake Gyllenhaal Close To Magician Heist Film ‘Now You See Me’ By Germain Lussier/June 8, 2011 2:00 pm EST Jesse Eisenberg and Jake Gyllenhaal have been offered roles in Now You See Me, a magic-infused heist film written by Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt, produced by Star Trek and Transformers writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman and directed by Louis Letterier (Clash of the Titans). The film is about F....

Jonah Hill In Talks To Join Leonardo DiCaprio In ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ By Angie Han/May 4, 2012 1:30 pm EST Even as he continues to make audiences laugh in films like the upcoming The Watch (formerly Neighborhood Watch), Jonah Hill is making progress on the more serious side of his career as well. The Oscar-nominated Moneyball star is in talks for Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, joining lead actor (and frequent Scorsese collaborator) Leonardo DiCaprio....

Judi Dench Will Return For ‘Bond 23’ By Russ Fischer/Jan. 27, 2011 1:00 pm EST Briefly: This isn’t much of a surprise, but it is very good news. Sam Mendes will soon direct Daniel Craig in the twenty-third James Bond film, and along for the ride as commanding officer M will be Judi Dench. This will be her seventh performance as M (not counting video game voice roles). She made her first appearance alongside Pierce Brosnan’s Bond debut in Goldeneye....

Movie Trailer #2: ‘The Green Hornet’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 19, 2010 12:00 pm EST Kato Vision is on full display in the brand new, full theatrical trailer for The Green Hornet, directed by Michel Gondry and starring Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz, Jay Chou, Christoph Waltz and Michael Pena. It shows way more action and comedy than the first trailer, which I already thought looked pretty decent, but gets dangerously close to revealing too much....

By Russ Fischer/July 5, 2010 9:51 pm EST Quick one here, but Summit, in the not-so-long stretch before Twilight expires in the rosy two-fisted film fan-gasm that (might) be Breaking Dawn, is coming up with new projects. One is said to be Riptide, a sort of closed door mystery that takes place on a ship called the Nautica. Three people are involved or, as it were, victimized: “a handyman, a young stock broker, and the stock broker’s girlfriend....

Sean Penn To Direct Robert De Niro And Kristin Wiig In ‘The Comedian’ By Angie Han/Oct. 27, 2011 2:00 pm EST I’m kind of a sucker for movies about fading stars (Sunset Boulevard is one of my all-time favorites), so I’ve been curious to see Art Linson’s script The Comedian make it to the screen. I first heard about it this spring, when Martin Scorsese was rumored to be directing with Robert De Niro in the lead, but that report’s turned out to be only half true....

Stallone Pondering Rambo Prequel, Starring A New, Young Rambo? Well, Maybe By Russ Fischer/Aug. 2, 2010 12:23 pm EST During the Comic Con panel for The Expendables, it was difficult to tell if Sylvester Stallone was joking when he said that the whole point of doing The Expendables was that he got greedy. Seemed like a joke at the time. But now might might see reports highlighting how Stallone is reportedly pondering a prequel to First Blood that would star a younger actor....

The Making Of Jackass 3D By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 14, 2010 2:00 pm EST VBS TV has a great 15-minute long behind the scenes documentary on the making of Jackass 3D. The franchise that most of the tv-watching world knows as “Jackass”—a crew of loveable, Teflon-coated miscreants consisting of Chris Pontius, Bam Margera, Wee Man, Steve-O, and Johnny Knoxville—began years ago when the group decided to document their gleefully destructive antics on camera....

The Phantasmagoric ‘Cemetery Man’ May Get A Sequel; Director Also Talks Up ‘Goonies’-Like Project With Nicolas Cage By Russ Fischer/Jan. 25, 2011 2:00 pm EST Did I just say that the discovery of previously-lost Blue Velvet scenes was the best news of the day? Well, it still is, but running a close second is the revelation that Italian director Michele Soavi might be returning to horror, and that his vehicle could be a sequel to his awesome 1994 existential zombie movie Dellamorte Dellamore, aka Cemetery Man....
