By Russ Fischer/April 2, 2012 11:30 am EST It makes a certain sort of sense. Ridley Scott makes Alien. A few years later, James Cameron follows in his footsteps with the action-oriented sequel, Aliens. Now Ridley Scott has gone back to the Alien well for the prequel Prometheus. So I’m not surprised to see some talk about James Cameron doing a sequel to that film. I am, however, surprised to see it come from the mouth of James Cameron....

So What Went Wrong With ‘World War Z’? By Angie Han/June 12, 2012 5:00 pm EST At this point, it’s no secret that Paramount’s World War Z is in deep trouble. The zombie drama was moved from its December 2012 date to June 2013 to allow for significant reshoots, and Prometheus screenwriter Damon Lindelof was brought on board to rework the script. And all this after an already rocky production history that saw the studio trying and failing for years to get the project off the ground, throwing quite a bit of money at it along the way....

Teaser Trailer: ‘Transformers: Dark Of The Moon’ By Germain Lussier/Dec. 9, 2010 12:18 am EST The official teaser trailer for Michael Bay’s third Transformers movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon, has been released online. The films stars Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel and Patrick Dempsey and will be released July 1st 2011. Check out the two and a half minute trailer after the break and read our discussion of what it means....

This Week In DVD & Blu-Ray: Clash Of The Titans, Repo Men, And More By Adam Quigley/July 27, 2010 2:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Paul Verhoeven has enough trouble finding love from critics as it is, so it’s no wonder that a filmmaker emulating Verhoeven would have an even harder time. Repo Men was ripped apart by critics when it hit theaters, and its box office performance did little to compensate....

This Week In Trailers: Imaginary Forces, The Whale, Knuckle, Suing The Devil, Resurrect Dead, Detective Dee By Christopher Stipp/Aug. 12, 2011 5:01 pm EST Getting sent an unsolicited trailer is tricky. Sure, every week I ask for them (send them directly to Christopher_Stipp@yahoo.com for your chance to be featured here, so act now…) but you never quite know what will happen when you press play. You really want it to be the next 300 but most of the time it’s, well, not worth showcasing....

Universal To Adapt ‘The Cat In The Hat’ Again, This Time As A 3D, CG-Animated Feature By Angie Han/March 15, 2012 7:36 pm EST Dr. Seuss’ The Cat in the Hat proved a critical and commercial disappointment for Universal back in 2003 — so much so that Audrey Stone Geisel declared she’d never let Hollywood make a live-action adaptation of her late husband’s work again. But now, emboldened by the box office dominance of its Dr....

Upcoming Arnold Schwarzenegger Film Projects Are On Hold By Russ Fischer/May 19, 2011 2:09 pm EST I know, you thought I was going to say ’terminated’ rather than ‘on hold.’ And I really want to. Does Arnold Schwarzenegger’s divorce and BabyGate mean that we won’t have to suffer The Governator? The answer to that question is unclear, but for the time being the former Governor and reactivated actor has a couple small things to deal with, and film projects including The Terminator 5 and Cry Macho have been put on hold....

Video Blog: ‘Transformers: Dark Of The Moon’ 3D Presentation With Michael Bay And James Cameron By Peter Sciretta/May 19, 2011 2:23 am EST On Wednesday night, I attended a presentation on the Paramount Pictures lot called “3D: A Transforming Visual Art – a conversation with Michael Bay and James Cameron”. I has expected going into the presentation that it would be an evangelical sale of the future of 3D filmmaking, but it was nothing of the sort....

Today we bring you the listing of the most pirated television series of 2010. The number one show seems pretty obvious to me… Any guesses? See the full list after the jump.

Without A Release Date, ‘The Thing’ Schedules Some Reshoots By Germain Lussier/Nov. 16, 2010 1:00 pm EST Over the weekend, news broke that Universal moved their prequel of John Carpenter’s The Thing, also called The Thing, into release date limbo. Official word from the studio was the film was “not yet ready” and fanboy worry and speculation began. Does the film suck? Do the effects looks stupid? Performances stink? All of the above?...

WTF: Nicolas Winding Refn Directing ‘Barbarella’ TV Series By Russ Fischer/June 20, 2012 8:28 am EST My mind just warped a little bit. While Robert Rodriguez talked for some time about remaking Barbarella, the kooky kitch sci-fi romp starring Jane Fonda and the Orgasmatron, his movie never got off the ground. Then Robert Luketic was appointed director, and that version eventually died as well. But Barbarella is going to be revamped, and for television no less....

‘Anvil!’ Director In Talks To Write And Direct ‘Psycho’ Era Hitchcock Biopic By Russ Fischer/Jan. 20, 2011 7:00 am EST We’ve seen minor portrayals of Alfred Hitchcock on screen in the past, but we’ve never had a chance to see — or had to endure, depending upon your perspective — a full-length biopic about one of cinema’s most influential directors. Not for lack of trying. At various times there have been Hitchcock biopics in development, and for some time there have been attempts to turn the Stephen Rebello book Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho into a film....

‘Moon’ Director Duncan Jones Set For Ian Fleming Biopic By Russ Fischer/May 21, 2012 7:00 am EST Even as EON Productions pulls the wrapper off the first trailer for the twenty-third James Bond film, Skyfall, another company is planning to chronicle the life of the man who created Bond. In fact, there are some who say that Ian Fleming was Bond. Born into a wealthy family, Fleming was educated abroad, spent time as a writer for Reuters (a job his mother landed for him) and worked in banking and finance for a time before being recruited into the Royal Navy in 1939....

‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’ UK Trailer: Caesar Builds His Family By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2011 9:43 am EST We just saw a new commercial for Rise of the Planet of the Apes that had a lot of new footage, but that 60-second piece was pulled from YouTube fairly quick. Now there is a UK trailer that has a lot of the same footage, and more. Beware: you’ll walk away from this feeling like you’ve seen way too much of the movie....

By Russ Fischer/May 24, 2012 9:30 am EST The Exorcist is a landmark movie. Along with Psycho, it legitimized horror as a genre — what had previously been relegated to drive-in and second-feature filler was now big business. William Friedkin’s adaptation of William Peter Blatty’s novel (scripted by Blatty) scored a Best Picture Oscar nomination and nine other Oscar nods. (Best Picture went to The Sting, but The Exorcist did take Best Sound and Best Adapted Screenplay....

Casting Bits: Scott Porter & Christopher Mintz-Plasse Join ‘The Hand Job’, Keira Knightley To Play Tinkerbell In Mini-Series ‘Neverland’ By Russ Fischer/March 10, 2011 7:00 pm EST Last year Maggie Carey’s film The Hand Job was announced, in which Aubrey Plaza would play a high school graduate who decides she needs a lot more sexual experience before college, and proceeds to work her way through a checklist of, er, action items....

Cool Stuff: The 3G Art Show: Ghostbusters, Goonies And Gremlins By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 12, 2010 8:00 am EST The Poster (by Tom Whalen) Cute, Cuddly, Scary, and Fun – Gremlins (Brandon Schaefer) The Goonies Breakfast Cereal (Ian Glaubinger) Light Bright, Light Bright (Kim Herbst) Ray, When Someone Asks if You are A God… (Kim Herbst) I’m Taking Them All Back (Peter Wonsowski) Close-up of the gold: Chunk Woodie (Xander Thurteen)...

Darren Aronofsky To Direct Rachel Weisz In Jackie Kennedy Biopic By Peter Sciretta/April 14, 2010 12:26 am EST Entertainment Weekly are reporting that Darren Aronofsky, director of such movies as Pi, Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain, The Wrestler and Natalie Portman’s upcoming ballet thriller Black Swan, is actually signed on to direct and produce for his company Protozoa Pictures. Even better, Aronofsky’s wife, the Academy Award-winning Rachel Weisz, is also attached to star as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis....
