Mia Wasikowska And Emma Stone Possible Candidates For Lead Roles In ‘Spider-Man’ By Russ Fischer/Sept. 23, 2010 3:42 pm EST Sony has been remarkably good so far about keeping details of the upcoming Spider-Man reboot totally quiet. We know that Andrew Garfield is set as Peter Parker. (After seeing him in The Social Network, you’ll probably really understand why.) But that’s just about all we know. Who is the villain? What character will be the female lead and who will play her?...

By Russ Fischer/Nov. 18, 2010 3:00 pm EST Let’s get this out of the way first: Joel and Ethan Coen have not written a film based on the Marvel Comics character Gambit. They have, however, scripted a remake of a 1966 romantic heist movie that originally starred Michael Caine and Shirley MacLaine. News that the script was still kicking around in development came out back in January of this year, and in April it was a possible project on the docket for director Doug Liman....

Roadside Attractions To Distribute ‘I Love You, Phillip Morris’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 26, 2010 11:20 am EST Good news for those who are interested in seeing I Love You, Phillip Morris, the reportedly quite good caper/prison/gay love story movie with Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. After a long, weird bunch of business deals that left the film without any US distribution, the film will finally come to theaters in the States....

The company and Universal have been neck and neck in development of competing Snow White movies over the past six months. Relativity has Tarsem Singh directing The Brothers Grimm: Snow White, which had only one primary cast member locked: Julia Roberts, who will play the evil queen....

Sony Launches ‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Viral Site By Russ Fischer/Oct. 10, 2011 10:29 am EST Mouth Taped Shut, The Tumblr set up to give The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo fans a look into the production of David Fincher’s film, has offered up another little puzzle. The most recent image posted to the site shows Trent Reznor, seemingly at work scoring the film. But there is a suspiciously noticeable space on the screen in the left side of the image....

Stephen Graham’s Pirates 4 Role: Johnny Depp’s Sidekick; Plus First Pics Of New Ship By Russ Fischer/June 3, 2010 12:00 pm EST Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is gearing up to shoot in the next few weeks, so it’s time to hear about all the additional cast that will join Johnny Depp, Penelope Cruz and Ian McShane under the direction of Rob Marhsall. A few weeks back we mentioned that Stephen Graham was among the new recruits....

Sucker Punch In IMAX 3D By Peter Sciretta/May 12, 2010 2:06 am EST Warner Bros has announced that Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch will be released in IMAX 3D, in addition to the previously announced digital 3D release on March 25th 2011. Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen was also released in IMAX, and Snyder seems to like releasing in the huge screen format. The film is part of Warner Bros 20-picture distribution deal with IMAX which was announced last month....

Superhero Bits: The Amazing Spider-Man, Man Of Steel, The Dark Knight Rises, Kick Ass, TMNT By Germain Lussier/Nov. 10, 2011 1:00 pm EST Ever want to see a new version of the opening credits for the original Batman TV series? What is The Amazing Spider-Man video game going to look like? When is Gotham City Imposters being released? Did Amy Adams draw on other Lois Lane performances for her work in Man of Steel?...

Two New Clips: The Last Airbender By Peter Sciretta/June 28, 2010 9:00 am EST Paramount Pictures has released two new video clips from M Night Shyamalan’s big screen adaptation of The Last Airbender. Last week we posted a 41 second clip shows Sokka’s (Jackson Rathbone) reaction to the ships of the Fire Nation approaching (click here to watch it). The first 22-second clip shows Aang battling Fire Nation soldiers in one seemingly continuous shot, using Zack Snyder-like slow-motion and zoom-ins....

‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’ Gets March 2012 Release Date By Russ Fischer/Feb. 17, 2011 5:30 pm EST Briefly: Paramount has got Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters just about packaged and ready to shoot, with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton in the lead roles as grown-up Hansel and Gretel, who have dealt with their childhood trauma at the hand of a witch by hunting other witches. (Cheaper than therapy, and probably more fun....

‘Mirror Mirror’ Featurette Focuses On Armie Hammer’s Charming Prince, Tarsem Singh Unhappy With Film’s Marketing By Angie Han/March 5, 2012 11:30 am EST While I haven’t loved most of the marketing for Tarsem Singh’s Mirror, Mirror so far, one element that’s actually drawn a few laughs out of me is Armie Hammer’s performance as Prince Andrew Alcott. He’s clearly having so much fun with the character that it’s tough not to be won over, and now a new featurette takes advantage of that appeal by focusing on Hammer and his well-intentioned but ditzy charcter....

‘Monsters Vs Aliens’ Director Rob Letterman To Make Haunted House Found Footage Movie ‘The Paranormalists’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 15, 2012 4:00 pm EST I understand why the ‘found footage’ approach to making low-budget films might be getting tiring to some audiences, but let’s get optimistic and hope that this new one might be a bit different from others. Rob Letterman, who co-wrote and directed the animated films Shark Tale and Monsters vs Aliens before directing, er, the live-action Gulliver’s Travels with Jack Black…where was I?...

‘Perfect Sense’ Trailer; Ewan McGregor And Eva Green Fall In Love During Global Pandemic By Germain Lussier/Jan. 19, 2011 2:30 pm EST They say that love finds you when you least expect it. That certainly seems to be the case with Perfect Sense, the latest film from David Mackenzie, the director of Young Adam and Spread. In the film, which will have its world premiere next week at the Sundance Film Festival, a epidemiologist (Eva Green) falls in love with a local chef (Ewan McGregor) just as she begins to discover that people around the world are beginning to literally lose their senses....

‘The Oranges’ Red-Band Trailer By Russ Fischer/Sept. 12, 2012 9:00 am EST Here’s the new red band trailer for Julian Farino’s The Oranges, an all-audiences taste of which we saw not long ago. Hugh Laurie was going to play the bad guy in Jose Padilha’s RoboCop, but even after dropping out of that he’ll probably be good at pissing someone off when his character in The Oranges as he starts dating the much younger daughter (Leighton Meester) of his best friend....

‘This Means War’ Trailer: Did McG Just Abuse Tom Hardy’s Appeal? By Russ Fischer/Oct. 13, 2011 11:50 am EST Do the stereotypical tough guy friends who are total bros until a blonde gets between them really exist? I’ve never seen that particular personality in the wild, but I imagine that McG has. Maybe he sees that guy every time he looks in the mirror. His new film This Means War, in which Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are best friends until they realize they’re both dating Reese Witherspoon, feels like it might be a document of McG’s own friendships and dating experiences....

‘Wrath Of The Titans’ Featurette Introduces The Chimera By Russ Fischer/March 21, 2012 6:30 am EST After the generally unsatisfying Clash of the Titans, the only satisfying thing the sequel, Wrath of the Titans, seems likely to bring to the table is a big collection of creatures. Things being what they are, they’ll all be CG, but there’s still a chance for the film’s squad of designers to play with the well-established inhabitants of Greek mythology....

Alan Moore, Hater Of Alan Moore Movies, Now Writing Movies By Angie Han/June 21, 2012 3:30 pm EST Although several several movies — including From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, V for Vendetta, and Watchmen – have been based on graphic novels by Alan Moore, you wouldn’t necessarily know it by glancing at the credits. The writer has gone out of his way to distance himself from big screen adaptations of his work....
