West Memphis Three: HBO Considers Fourth Doc; Peter Jackson Financing Continuing Murder Investigation By Russ Fischer/Aug. 25, 2011 2:00 pm EST The West Memphis Three — Jason Baldwin, Jessie Misskelley Jr., and Damien Echols — may be free, but their story isn’t over. Driven to enter guilty pleas and accept ’time served’ sentences in order to return to the free world, the men are saddled with felony records for crimes that very few believe were ever proved to be their responsibility....

Whats Next: David Fincher Eying ‘20,000 Leagues Under The Sea,’ Joe Carnahan Favoring ‘Killing Pablo’ By Germain Lussier/Jan. 12, 2012 4:30 pm EST One of the perks of being a film fan is there’s always something to look forward to. We wait and wait for a project to come together and, once the credits roll, we’re immediately looking forward to the next thing. Sometimes it’s what’s coming out next week, other times it’s a sequel and in the case of our favorite directors, it’s whatever they choose to do next....

Sucker Punch What Did You Think

‘Sucker Punch’ - What Did You Think? By David Chen/March 25, 2011 10:27 pm EST Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch hits theaters this weekend, and it’s already spawned some amount of controversy online. Fans of Snyder will most likely not be disappointed, as the film has insane amounts of over-the-top action scenes featuring excellent staging and astonishing visuals. But is its depiction of scantily-clad women kicking other-wordly ass an empowering one? Or is it a demeaning one?...

The Swell Season Trailer The Real Life Tale Of The Once Musicians

‘The Swell Season’ Trailer – The Real-Life Tale Of The ‘Once’ Musicians By Angie Han/Sept. 19, 2011 3:30 pm EST One of the best little films I’ve ever seen was 2007’s Once. I say “little” not because the film was short or insignificant, but because the simple story of two unnamed musicians falling in love had a breathtaking intimacy that made it feel raw and genuine. The real-life tale behind the two stars, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, gave the film an added layer of emotion as well: Hansard and Irglová were (and still are) members of a folk-rock duo called The Swell Season, and while promoting the movie became an actual couple as well....

Alexander Payne Attached To Direct Wilson From The Daniel Clowes Graphic Novel

Alexander Payne Attached To Direct ‘Wilson,’ From The Daniel Clowes Graphic Novel By Russ Fischer/Nov. 18, 2010 4:43 pm EST Which sounds like prime Alexander Payne territory. I’m already picturing Wilson as a distillation of so many elements that have recurred in the director’s films. Easy to see Paul Giamatti in the title role — he’s not cast, nor is anyone else, as this is in the early stages — but it could be a fit for any number of actors....

Cars Spin Off Planes Being Developed By Disney Toon Studios Not Pixar

By Russ Fischer/July 20, 2010 11:43 am EST We recently heard that Pixar is developing a film called Planes, intended to be a spin-off from Cars. The film is meant for direct-to-DVD distribution, and some took the move as a sign of a slide for Pixar. When a studio is able to rule the theatrical animation landscape, why churn out direct disc fodder? Turns out that report might have been only partially correct, as there’s now a new spin that says, yes, Planes is in development, but from Disney Toon Studios rather than Pixar....

First Look: Johnny Depp And Angelina Jolie In The Tourist By Russ Fischer/June 14, 2010 6:37 am EST It’s not much to go on, but this first still from The Tourist, starring Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie, directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, is remarkable simply for the fact that it exists. There were so many recastings and director changes that I’m vaguely impressed by the fact that this remake of the 2005 French film Anthony Zimmer is actually rolling....

Is the whole thing some sort of sham or performance art, or did Phoenix really and truly drop out of acting to become a rapper? This teaser trailer for the movie is actually quite a nice piece of work, but it won’t offer answers to any questions....
