Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
The upcoming trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be attached to the tween flick Bandslam, opening everywhere on 8/14. I’m assuming that the same people who are into Twilighty goodness are also into Bandslam. On second thought, I don’t think anybody is “into” Bandslam. Hell, it’s my JOB to know about Bandslam and [...]
Acclaimed director Kathryn Bigelow will be reuniting with Mark Boal for the upcoming action-adventure flick Triple Frontier. The team that brought this summer’s critical darling, The Hurt Locker, will focus on a story that is described as a “high-stakes ensemble project.” Though details are scarce, the film takes place in the border region of Paraguay, [...]
Paul Giamatti is currently in talks to replace the recently absent Sean Penn in the Farrelly Brothers upcoming comedy The Three Stooges. According to the The Boston Globe, Giamatti, who was fantastic in Duplicity, will pick up the role of the fluffy-headed Larry. Benicio Del Toro and Jim Carrey are on the hook to play [...]
In the most ridiculously awesome news of the day, the kind souls at Columbia have released the undead trailer for their upcoming horror-comedy Zombieland. Directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin, Zombieland takes place in a world overrun by zombies. It’s fiction, just so you know… Harrelson [...]
Taiwanese actor-singer and all-around-good-looking chap, Jay Chou, has been cast as Kato, Green Hornet’s sidekick in the upcoming big-screen adaptation of the cult ’60s show The Green Hornet. Chou replaces Stephen Chow who left production for reasons unknown but presumably sound. Chou, who is evidently a chart-topping artist at home, was seen in The Curse [...]
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra director Stephen Sommers is already thinking about a part two for the big-screen Real American Hero story that’s due out August 8th. “…I hope I get to do a sequel, first of all because I had so much fun with these actors. I go into these movies knowing it’s [...]
Something about Carla Gugino is very foxy. I’m not sure if it’s the Old Hollywood aesthetics or her dressed as a superhero in Watchmen, but something is downright hot. While we’re on the subject of Carla Gugnio, she has just been added to Zack Snyder’s (300, Watchmen) upcoming Warner Bros. drama Sucker Punch. Centering on [...]
I will personally handle anybody who says Guillermo del Toro isn’t working hard for the money, West Side Story-style. (snap your arse off, mate) Though currently handling pre-production of The Hobbit, del Toro will reunite with Spanish firm Rodar y Rodar for producer duty on the “dark Spanish-language thriller” Los ojos de Julia (Julia’s Eyes).
