Producer Says Alfonso Cuarón’s ‘Gravity’ Shoots In May, Will Be Post-Converted To 3D By Russ Fischer/April 18, 2011 1:30 pm EST There was a great bit of buzz last year about Alfonso Cuarón’s upcoming film Gravity. The casting process was intricately detailed in the press as a search for an actress to lead the film finally led to Sandra Bullock being cast.

Single Panel Comic Strip The Family Circus To Become Movie Franchise

Single-Panel Comic Strip ‘The Family Circus’ To Become Movie Franchise By Adam Quigley/Oct. 8, 2010 6:00 pm EST There isn’t much to the comic, either in terms of character or story, which means this is almost certainly an appeal to brand name recognition. Without The Family Circus in the title—and a reduced emphasis on religion and dotted lines—this movie could just as easily be another Cheaper by the Dozen or Yours, Mine and Ours, much like Marmaduke was just another talking dog movie....

Thomas Jane And Jeremy Piven Set For Thriller Directed By Mark Pellington

By Russ Fischer/July 14, 2010 5:00 pm EST While I went in hopeful, I ended up hating Mark Pellington’s last film, Henry Poole is Here. Hated it enough that hearing that the screenwriter, Albert Torres, had been hired to rewrite the live-action Akira adaptation all but killed my scant interest in that project. But I’ve heard very good things about Pellington’s work on U2 3D (maybe not a surprise, given his music video background) and thought there was potential on display in earlier features like Arlington Road and The Mothman Prophecies....

G I Joe Retaliation Director Says Release Delay Is For 3D Conversion Only

‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ Director Says Release Delay Is For 3D Conversion Only By Russ Fischer/June 5, 2012 10:00 am EST What’s the real story behind the delay of Paramount’s G.I. Joe: Retaliation? Ever since the studio abruptly pushed the film to March 2013, just weeks before the planned opening later this month, there have been rumors about bad test screening reactions and a studio desire for more Channing Tatum. We know the film is being converted to 3D, and there have been suppositions that the process is simply to bolster the box office take thanks to 3D surcharges, or that the conversion is a smokescreen to cover fixing other issues with the film....

‘Mr. Popper’s Penguins’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/May 20, 2011 10:30 am EST Mr. Popper’s Penguins is based on a well-liked kids’ book, and so it shouldn’t be any surprise at all that the first trailer for the film makes it look like a film that the kids will love (maybe?) and everyone else will doze through. Jim Carrey stars as an uptight New York businessman who is given a bunch of penguins, the better to teach him about living life to the fullest, or something along those lines....
