Guys And Girls Of Course Should Totally See Bridesmaids

Guys (And Girls, Of Course) Should Totally See ‘Bridesmaids’ By Germain Lussier/May 12, 2011 5:00 pm EST This isn’t so much a review as it is a disclaimer. Bridesmaids, which opens Friday May 13, isn’t what you think it is. I know the ads and trailers make it out to seem like a bit of a chick flick. Something that’s strictly for a group of girlfriends to go see akin to Sex and the City 2....

Jack Nicholson Offered Jackie Robinson Biopic 42

Jack Nicholson Offered Jackie Robinson Biopic ‘42’ By Angie Han/Oct. 13, 2011 11:00 am EST The dramatic, inspirational story of Jackie Robinson, Major League Baseball’s first black player, seems so ripe for a Hollywood adaptation that it’s a little surprising we haven’t seen the story hit the big screen in some time. Filmmakers have certainly tried — Spike Lee had a biopic in the works at one point, and Robert Redford tried for years to get his own version going — but for whatever reason, those projects never panned out....

Matt Reeves’ Let Me In (an film adaptation of the Swedish book) arrives in theaters today with some pretty high expectations attached to it. The original Swedish film, Let The Right One In, directed by Tomas Alfredson, is generally regarded by the film geek community as a nearly-flawless genre piece....

Mike White Is Reportedly The Top Choice To Direct Pride And Prejudice And Zombies

Mike White Is Reportedly The Top Choice To Direct ‘Pride And Prejudice And Zombies’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 3, 2010 12:30 pm EST I evidently need to read the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies script (anyone got it?) because while the idea of inserting zombies in Jane Austen’s classic story sounds amusing enough to power a bit of sketch comedy, I’m having difficulty coming to terms with it as something that people are jockeying to direct....

Red Band Trailer For The Five Year Engagement Is Filled With Deleted Scenes

Red Band Trailer For ‘The Five Year Engagement’ Is Filled With Deleted Scenes By Germain Lussier/April 20, 2012 3:30 pm EST Universal Pictures has just released a red band trailer for The Five-Year Engagement and, like most red band trailers, it’s filled with raunchy humor. Written by Jason Segel and Nicholas Stoller, the guys who made Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and produced by Judd Apatow, you’d expect nothing less. The odd thing about this trailer, though, is that while most red band trailers horribly spoil a good comedy this one doesn’t really because a lot of the jokes aren’t in the movie....

Roland Emmerich Sci Fi Project Singularity Lands At Sony Updated

Roland Emmerich Sci-Fi Project ‘Singularity’ Lands At Sony [Updated] By Russ Fischer/June 29, 2011 1:04 pm EST Here’s yet another stopgap measure to keep Foundation fans happy. Roland Emmerich made his latest film, the Shakespeare conspiracy drama/thriller Anonymous, with Sony, and now there is a report that he has a mysterious new sci-fi project with the working title of Singularity. THR reports that Sony has right of first refusal on the film, and while a deal isn’t made at this point, it could be something that, like 2012, the studio picks up knowing that he’ll deliver something that can easily crack $500m in global ticketing....

Screen Version Of Supernatural Appalachian Tale Dark Of The Moon In The Works

Screen Version Of Supernatural Appalachian Tale ‘Dark Of The Moon’ In The Works By Russ Fischer/Jan. 28, 2011 5:00 am EST Well, this could be confusing. The third Transformers film is subtitled Dark of the Moon, but there’s an older tale that shares that name, and now a film based on the original Dark of the Moon is edging towards development. This alternate story with the same name features no giant bearded robots on the moon, but it might be just the thing for those who have no interest in that sort of thing....

It’s true! I read about it on Wikipedia. Now HBO has ordered a pilot for a new drama called Da Brick, which will be “loosely inspired” by Tyson’s early days as a boxer....

Robert Downey, Jr. demonstrates his trademark cool as Tony Stark, calmly and helpfully reminding Loki (Tom Hiddleston) how powerful the Avengers are — and how very upset they are with him....
