Lost Finale “Will Generate A Tremendous Amount Of Theorizing” By Peter Sciretta/April 29, 2010 2:48 pm EST If you’re expecting Lost to end with definitive answers think again. The Hollywood Reporter conducted an interview with Lost co-creator-showrunner Damon Lindelof, who revealed that the series finale will “end lost in a way that feels ‘Lost’-ian and fair and will generate a tremendous amount of theorizing.” “The Sopranos ending only would have worked for The Sopranos....

MTV Picking Up Teen Wolf TV Series By David Chen/May 19, 2010 7:06 pm EST When we first heard about the Teen Wolf pilot last year, it was described as follows by MTV’s senior VP of series development: “It has a fresh take and is very different from the original. It has more of an ‘American Werewolf in London’ feel to it. It’s a dramatic thriller with two best friends in the center who provide a great comedy element: They are two very relatable characters on the outer circles of popular cliques....

Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 46 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

However, it now appears that at least one of the roadblocks standing in its way has ceased to be, and that work on the film will resume in earnest....

Release Dates: ‘The Cabin In The Woods’ And ‘The Last Stand’ By Russ Fischer/July 21, 2011 6:00 am EST Here’s some good news for those who have been following the progress of the Joss Whedon-produced and co-written The Cabin in the Woods. The horror film, which leaps off from an Evil Dead sort of premise of trapping a handful of characters in a remote cabin, finally has a release date. Lionsgate picked up rights to the film a few months ago, leading us to hope that it might be given an appropriate October berth....

VOTD: The Visual Style Of ‘The Wire’ By Germain Lussier/April 12, 2012 1:30 pm EST Fans of The Wire jump at the chance to wax poetic about what some consider television’s all-time best show and this post is no different. A video has come online detailing the visual style of David Simon’s landmark HBO drama which, if you’re familiar with the show, is kind of surprising. Ask anyone what they love about The Wire and “visual style” probably won’t make the top ten....

We’ve seen a couple trailers for the film that introduced the film’s basic scenario, and showed some of the tech of the attacking force....

By Russ Fischer/June 20, 2012 8:29 pm EST Life finds a way, right? That can hold true for the life of film franchises, even ones that lay dormant for a decade or more. A fourth Jurassic Park film has been a project hovering in various states of limbo since not long after the release of Joe Johnston’s Jurassic Park III in 2001. Last year Thor writer Mark Protosevich was working with Steven Spielberg to come up with ideas for a fourth film, and now Universal has taken the next step....

‘One Day’ International Trailer Offers A Much Better Look At The Film By Russ Fischer/May 29, 2011 2:12 pm EST There was no small amount of anticipation for One Day, the new film from An Education director Lone Scherfig, starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. But the first trailer was, let’s say, uninspiring. Now there is a second trailer, cut for the UK, and it is a definite improvement. It doesn’t make the film look like any sort of modern classic in the making, but it does sell it as a salvageable romance with an interesting angle....
