‘Wrong’ Teaser Trailer: The Director Of ‘Rubber’ Is Back, With Something Just As Strange By Russ Fischer/Dec. 1, 2011 12:00 pm EST Dupieux has been at work on a relatively secretive follow-up, called Wrong. The movie is in the Sundance 2012 lineup, as announced not long ago, competing in the World Cinema program. To go along with that formal announcement, here’s the teaser trailer for Wrong.

Alexandre Aja Could Remake Stephen King’s ‘Pet Sematary’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 2, 2011 3:00 pm EST Earlier this year, word came down that Paramount was thinking of dipping back into the Stephen King oeuvre and remaking Pet Sematary, which was originally published in 1983 and made into a movie in 1989. Since then things have been quiet on the reanimated kids front, but now it seems that Alexandre Aja, a director who most recently had some fun with another animal-titled movie in Piranha 3D, could be taking the helm....

This headline may seem familiar, as it is the same headline we ran in early April when the rumor was first reported by IESB. In late May, a short list of actors in line for the role leaked online, which included Hutcherson alongside Jamie Bell; Andrew Garfield; Alden Ehrenreich; and Frank Dillane....

Movie Trailer #2: ‘Skyline’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 29, 2010 12:15 pm EST We got our first look at Skyline at Comic Con, along with a great deal of exposure to the PR line that the movie is a homemade affair. Directors Greg and Colin Strause did pay for the movie themselves and shoot a great deal of it in their own condo in Los Angeles, but they also happen to own an effects company that does digital work for big-budget movies....

POTD: Mel Brooks And David Lynch Get Honorary Degrees From AFI By Russ Fischer/June 14, 2012 4:00 pm EST It’s easy to overlook the fact that David Lynch’s career is inexorably linked to Mel Brooks. The two men don’t seem to have much in common. But when Lynch’s first feature Eraserhead was on screens, one of Brooks’ producers, Stuart Cornfeld, saw the film and recommended Lynch as someone to work with....

Ridley Scott Attached To Direct ‘Reykjavik,’ About Historic Reagan/Gorbachev Meeting By Germain Lussier/May 17, 2011 5:30 pm EST When you think Ridley Scott, you think sprawling, epic films like Blade Runner, Alien, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down and Kingdom of Heaven.

Scott is currently shooting yet another one of these blockbusters, the Alien prequel Prometheus, and while he’s yet to announce his subsequent project, another possibility has been added to his already stacked plate....
