His tenure as director of The Hobbit ended before that movie was given the green light to move forward, and his follow-up project, At the Mountains of Madness, was scrapped at Universal due to budget concerns coupled with the director’s intent to make an R-rated film....
Ivan Reitman Says Most Reports About ‘Ghostbusters 3’ Are Wrong By Russ Fischer/Jan. 7, 2011 3:49 pm EST There’s been a lot of indirect word about Ghostbusters 3 over the past two years, mostly via tubthumping from Dan Aykroyd and amusing dismissals of the project from Bill Murray. One person from whom we haven’t heard much is Ivan Reitman, director of the original film and the man contracted to direct the third....
J.J. Abrams Officially Confirmed To Direct ‘Star Trek’ Sequel By Angie Han/Sept. 13, 2011 10:45 pm EST You can breathe easy now, Trek fans: J.J. Abrams has, at long last, officially commited to directing the follow-up to his 2009 hit Star Trek. Though it’s long been assumed that Abrams would return for the sequel, the director has been cautious about making any firm statements. As recently as last month, he was still taking care to stress that he wasn’t “officially” signed on to helm....
Luc Besson Shopping New Love Story Script To Major Studios By Russ Fischer/June 22, 2010 2:19 pm EST Though he’s making a comeback to live-action film with The Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec (already released in some European countries) Luc Besson has been known in the last decade more for writing and producing than directing. Most of his directorial work has been in animation (the Arthur films) and his last live-action film to get wide distribution in the US was 1999’s The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc....

This is where you get more details; we even see Michelle Monaghan as the very pregnant wife of Downey’s character....
Paper Man Trailer: Ryan Reynolds Is The Greatest Imaginary Hero By Russ Fischer/April 12, 2010 10:00 am EST So there’s a lot of speculation about what Ryan Reynolds will be like in Green Lantern. And while it likely won’t give you much of an idea, you can have some fun seeing him as a much goofier superhero in the trailer for Paper Man. Here, Reynolds isn’t even real; he’s the imaginary creation of a failed novelist (Jeff Daniels) who strikes up a friendship with a 17-year old girl, played by Emma Stone....
Paranormal Activity 2 Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/June 29, 2010 9:25 pm EST The first teaser trailer for Paranormal Activity 2, which is attached to The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, is now online and embedded after the jump. The trailer begins where the last film ended (so if you haven’t seen the first movie, prepare to be spoiled). While I admired the low budget minimalistic effort of the original, this just seems like a cash grab follow-up....

And it comes from a surprising source: a Twitter conversation between current and former Pixar directors Brad Bird, Andrew Stanton and Lee Unkrich....

The Number 23 Scribe To Pen Remake Of An American Werewolf In London By Adam Quigley/Aug. 5, 2010 4:09 am EST Last year it was announced that the Weinstein brothers had acquired the rights to remake An American Werewolf in London, and my heart sank. Since then, there’s been no news of any progress on the project, and I promptly forgot about it. That was a happier time. And a relatively short-lived one....
VOTD: 8-Bit Tron Legacy By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 3, 2011 2:00 pm EST I was hoping that the Scott Pilgrim video game would help usher an era of 8-bit-inspired video games (at least in the promotional tie-in department).

Watch the video embedded after the jump. via: gizmodo VOTD: 8-Bit Tron Legacy By Peter Sciretta/Jan....
VOTD: Reservoir Dogs - Homage Or Stealing? By Peter Sciretta/June 30, 2010 12:00 am EST Current TV’s Rotten Tomatoes internet show takes a look at Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs and the similarities to the Chung Yun-Fat’s 1987 Honk Kong action film City On Fire. This, of course, isn’t a new observation. To fill in the history, here is wikipedia: Reservoir Dogs was, according to Tarantino, his version of Stanley Kubrick’s The Killing....
WTF: Clint Eastwood And His Family Could Be The New Kardashians By Angie Han/Dec. 15, 2011 2:00 pm EST It’s tough to think of two celebrities with less in common than Clint Eastwood and Kim Kardashian but, amazingly enough, that’s about to change. The 81-year-old actor/director/producer and his family — wife Dina, their 15-year-old daughter Morgan, and Eastwood’s 18-year-old daughter with Frances Fisher, Francesca — are reportedly in the midst of shooting for a new reality series that could air on E!...
