Stream Both The Soundtrack And Score To Scott Pilgrim Vs The World By Russ Fischer/Aug. 10, 2010 7:39 am EST You probably don’t need to be told that Edgar Wright’s new film Scott Pilgrim vs the World comes out this week; it’s pretty hard to miss. But if you’re looking for more of a taste of the film, check out both the soundtrack and score, which are both streaming in full at Spinner....
The ‘Breaking Bad’ Art Project Concludes With Ken Taylor’s Stunning Addition And A Gallery Show By Germain Lussier/Aug. 21, 2012 6:00 am EST With most things in life, it’s expected the best will be saved for last. And with no disrespect meant to the other artists in the Breaking Bad Art Project, that is most certainly the case once again. After weeks of truly beautiful art, the final poster of the viral campaign run by Gallery 1988 ha been revealed and it’s truly stunning....
Title And Details Revealed For Coen Brothers’ ’60s Folk Film By Angie Han/Aug. 31, 2011 8:00 am EST Like so many film geeks, I’m an ardent admirer of the Coen Brothers (obviously), so I’m thrilled to reveal that a couple of interesting new tidbits have dropped about their next feature. Earlier this summer, the Coens revealed that their next movie would be based on the ’60s folk scene in New York’s Greenwich Village, and apparently that project is starting to come together....
Toei Converting Battle Royale To 3D For Re-Release By Russ Fischer/May 17, 2010 6:39 am EST Briefly: This is basically just an article to anger all the existing fans of Battle Royale. Sorry about that. Toei is preparing a post-converted theatrical reissue of Battle Royale for release in late November of this year. This isn’t a remake, a new version or a sequel. Just a conversion of the existing film from Kinji Fukusaku, which at the time of its release was a monster hit in Japan, and caused no small amount of controversy....
‘360’ Trailer - ‘Constant Gardener’ Director Fernando Meirelles And Star Rachel Weisz Reunite For Erotic Drama By Angie Han/June 8, 2012 4:00 pm EST After receiving worldwide acclaim for City of God and The Constant Gardener, director Fernando Meirelles took a stumble with his most recent film, Blindness. Now he’s angling to get back on top with 360, an erotic drama inspired by the Arthur Schnitzler’s play Reigen. (Another of Schnitzler’s works once served as the source material for Stanely Kubrick’s Eyes Wide Shut....
‘Black Swan’ Interns Sue Over Unpaid Labor By Angie Han/Sept. 29, 2011 12:00 pm EST Lawyers for the movie industry have defended the usage of unpaid interns in the past by pointing out that the internships are a useful stepping stone for those who wish to break into the industry, and that the Labor Department’s rules are obsolete and rarely enforced. On the one hand, unpaid internships are a very commonly accepted practice in the film industry as well as other prestigious fields, so it’s easy to dismiss Footman and Glatt’s complaints as the mere whining of a couple of disgruntled workers....
‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part I’ – What Did You Think? By Russ Fischer/Nov. 19, 2010 6:30 pm EST We’ve run a review of the next-to-last film in the Harry Potter series, which opened to a $24m box-office take last night at midnight. Now it’s your turn to talk about it. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I is a slower, moody and melancholy entry than any other film in the series, but to my thinking no less effective for it....
‘Let Me In’ Photos Revealed In Viral Website HelpMe.Net By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 19, 2010 8:00 am EST Overture Films has recently launched a viral website for Matt Reeves’ Let the Right One In re-adaptation/remake Let Me In, which today revealed a five new photos from the movie — including a look at Richard Jenkins as Abby’s “guardian.” The viral website HelpMe.net has been updated with four riddles, that each unlock a new image from the film....
‘Lockout’ Trailer: Is Guy Pearce The New Kurt Russell? By Russ Fischer/Jan. 26, 2012 1:00 pm EST 2012 looks like it could be a year with a particularly strong crop of movies, and the b-picture isn’t getting left out of the action. This week alone we’ve got The Grey and Man on a Ledge (with the former being a lot more satisfying than the latter) and there are more coming in later months....
‘Public Enemies’ Screenwriter Adapting ‘Skeletons On The Zahara’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 2, 2010 1:56 pm EST The story is based in part on the account of the ordeal written by one of the men, Captain James Riley. Riley’s account told of an arduous trek across the Sahara Desert and subsequently being taken captive and enslaved. (Abraham Lincoln reportedly said Riley’s book was one of the books that most influenced him.)...
‘Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 3D’ Trailer By Russ Fischer/Oct. 24, 2011 4:30 pm EST [Trailer removed at the request of Fox. We’ll update when the official release is online.] Unlike the teaser poster for this 3D release, this trailer doesn’t shy away from showing young Anakin Skywalker, though it still chooses to pretend that Jar-Jar Binks wasn’t a part of the film. And if you’ve completely soured on the prequels, I’d advise checking out Drew McWeeney’s post from this morning about watching Revenge of the Sith with his kids....
‘Toy Story’ Writers To Pen ‘Farmville’ Movie? By Germain Lussier/Oct. 7, 2011 1:00 pm EST When many of us think of video games we think of the staples: games played on consoles or computers. It’s only in the past few years that mobile phones and social networking platforms have created a whole new batch of casual gamers. Games like Words With Friends, Angry Birds and Farmville are now as popular, if not more so, than stuff like Halo or Mortal Kombat....
Alexis Bledel Confirmed For Teen Assassin Film ‘Violet & Daisy’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 22, 2010 3:30 pm EST Difficult to believe that, just as Joe Wright’s film Hanna, about a teenage girl trained as an assassin, is readying to hit theaters, post-production will be under way on Violet & Daisy, about two teenage girls trained as assassins. And now, confirming a report from a few days ago, we know that Alexis Bledel will co-star as one of the two killer lassies, alongside Saoirse Ronan....
Amy Adams Likely To Appear Opposite Clint Eastwood In ‘Trouble With The Curve’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 16, 2011 3:00 pm EST Clint Eastwood’s last acting gig was in 2008, in his own film Gran Torino. At the time it looked like it might be his last, as the seasoned filmmaking vet reasoned that he’d rather be active behind the camera than in front of it. But Eastwood is going to act at least once more in a film about an aging baseball scout going on one last roadtrip to evaluate a young player....
Can Google Search Trends Predict Oscar Winners? By Russ Fischer/Feb. 15, 2011 1:05 pm EST As we get down to the last couple weeks before the Oscars, it’s all about predictions. There is no German octopus to put to work on the possible winners, though a cross-eyed opossum might be able to conjure up some winners. (And, uh, maybe not.) Possibly slightly more reliable than a marsupial with impaired vision is Google....
Eli Roth To Direct ‘Harker’ With Russell Crowe As Dracula By Germain Lussier/July 11, 2012 11:00 am EST After years of doing awesome small horror movies, Eli Roth is about to step into the big time. Warner Bros. is talking to the Hostel director about directing Harker, a vampire themed detective film that has been floating around for some time. Russell Crowe is still attached, but not as the lead as originally expected....
Footloose Remake Cast Set By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2010 9:26 am EST Our long national nightmare is over! The Footloose remake finally has a cast. Now I can rest easy tonight. Mostly because no one I care too much about is in the movie, which Craig Brewer (Hustle and Flow, Black Snake Moan) is still directing. OK, there’s Dennis Quaid, playing John Lithgow’s role, but he’s been in worse. The rest of the names, each of which is sure to thrill you in different ways, after the break....
Hack/Slash To Become An ‘Illustrated Film’ While The Live-Action Version Is Stuck In Development By Russ Fischer/Sept. 13, 2010 10:00 am EST When is a motion comic not a motion comic? When it is an ‘illustrated film.’ I’ll leave it to you, our readers, to ponder the difference between those terms while you think about the upcoming illustrated film version of the comic Hack/Slash. A film based on the comic has been slowly working through development for a couple years, and we haven’t heard much about it since Stephen Susco was hired to write a new draft almost a year ago....
High Resolution Photo: ‘Captain America’ In Action [Updated] By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 17, 2011 7:25 am EST Update: Paramount has supplied us with a high resolution version of this photo, available after the jump. Marvel Studios has premiered yet-another-new photo of Chris Evans as Captain America, in the upcoming summer comic book movie Captain America: The First Avenger. This photo is different than previous images as it actually shows Evan in his suit, in action — running by a set of, what looks like, missiles on some kind of watercraft?...
James Cameron Wants To Avoid “The ‘Matrix 2’ Problem” With ‘Avatar’ Sequels; Brad Bird Says Cameron Planning 3 Sequels Ahead Is “Scary” By Angie Han/Sept. 12, 2012 10:45 am EST We recently learned that the (at this point, purely theoretical) fourth Avatar movie would be a prequel, and that Battle Angel would be a few years off. But what of the two confirmed Avatar sequels? With both films scheduled to enter pre-production in January 2013 and Avatar 2 eyeing a 2015 release, James Cameron says he’s about to burrow into his “top secret writing cave” to finish the two scripts by the end of this year — and that one of his challenges will be avoiding what he calls “the Matrix 2” problem....
