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 [...]
Actor Scott Glenn will be jumping into Zack Snyder’s latest project called Sucker Punch. He joins up on the cast that includes Emily Browning, Carla Gugino, Jon Hamm and Vanessa Hudgens. Glenn will play mentor and a guide to Browning’s character Baby Doll. The story is about a young girl is institutionalized by her wicked [...]
In a cost-saving move that is undoubtedly the product of a messed up economy, Universal Pictures will stop spending money to develop advancing projects for the remainder of this year. Thus, unless a project is being fast-tracked, no progress will be made on films under Universal’s umbrella until January. Why is the studio freezing developments [...]
The last time I talked about Priest was when I was ruminating about Scott Stewart (founder of The Orphanage and recent genre writer/director) and his other religiously based horror film, Legion. Like Legion, Priest has a cast headed up by Paul Bettany. From various sources this week, it seems that Stewart’s film has gotten several [...]
Jeffrey Dean Morgan, perhaps most notable for playing The Comedian in Zack Snyder’s Watchmen adaptation, is joining the cast of the Red Dawn remake. Variety got the scoop on Morgan’s role in the film, which seems somewhat unnecessary: “‘Red Dawn’ follows a group of teenagers who band together to fight back when their home town [...]
The wonderfully neurotic Paul Giamatti will be stepping into the shoes of a tyrant — King John, in Ironclad, a medieval actioner. Jonathan English will be directing the film, with Solomon Kane himself, James Purefoy, taking the role of the hero. Variety describes the plot of the film: Scripted by Erick Kastel and English, the [...]
Youth In Revolt, Miguel Arteta and Michael Cera’s adaptation of a novel that has permeated every Urban Outfitters store in existence, has had its release date pushed back by The Weinstein Company despite getting positive reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival. Instead of being released at the end of next month, it will now [...]
Matthew Vaughn’s Kick-Ass, based on Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.’s comic that is now owned by Disney, will have an ending that not only mimics the ending of its serialized comic counterpart, but also functions as an entire teaser (as in teaser trailer) for the next film in the series. Millar told MTV: The [...]
Robert Zemeckis’ latest animated feature comes in the form of the classic tale of Walt Disney Pictures A Christmas Carol. The film stars the voice talents of Jim Carrey, Gary Oldman, Bob Hoskins, Robin Wright-Penn, just to name a few. Storming its way into theaters on November 6th, despite the obvious theme that would merit [...]
