You might remember hearing up-and-coming (actually unproven) director Carl Erik Rinsch’s name being tossed about in discussions of Ridley Scott’s planned Alien prequel or reboot. However, Scott took Rinsch off the project to see over it himself, leading the man to head in another direction: that of 47 Ronin.
In a logline that reads like someone [...]
This just in: Tony and Ridley Scott buy rights to make a movie about the Sun, the Earth, and everything that has existed upon it throughout human history. Seriously. The Scott family is becoming omnipresent.
The latest (and most ridiculous) news, which is only paralleled by Ridley Scott’s desire to make a film adaptation of the [...]
Zach Galifianakis and Amy Adams are two comedic actors that have long bubbled under the surface of mainstream appeal. In the past two years, however, they’ve exploded into the limelight with films such as The Hangover and Julie & Julia. Now, both actors are slated to appear in Fox 2000’s new comedic drama Town House.
Directed [...]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Ridley Scott is overextending himself, and with every new report of an upcoming project for the director/producer, I’m less inclined to believe it’ll get off the ground with his name attached to it.
The latest is that Scott has been in talks with Angelina Jolie to star [...]
I’m somewhat convinced that Ridley Scott — either by his own nature or by the wishes of studios — will eventually attach his name in some capacity to every film on the horizon. A quick scan of IMDb reveals that the director of Blade Runner and Gladiator has twenty two films in the works, including [...]
It seems that as Ridley Scott enters his twilight years, he’s becoming more interested in exploring the sort of genre films that he was first synonymous with — films such as the new Alien film and now The Passage.
What is The Passage, you might ask? Well, screenwriter John Logan is adapting the novel by Jordan [...]
Duncan Jones’ Moon was one of the best films of the summer (read my bit about it here), so it’s great to see the burgeoning director have a clear vision of his next project.
Mute is Jones’ thematic and stylistic homage to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, and it shows in this piece of concept art from [...]
Our hero Wikus is another fool endlessly tortured by greedy commerce as Ellen Ripley is. In these science fiction stories, human beings cease to be that and are tools, methods to weaponry, and lives are decided by suits.
I’d love for one of my dream projects to eventually come to fruition. Whether it’s me directing one of my own scripts or the next RoboCop to Zack Snyder’s Metal Gear Solid or even Paul W.S. Anderson never touching a camera again, it’d be nice to see one of these things happen. Perhaps the second [...]
Robin Hood and his group of merry men are still trumping along the outer skirts of Sherwood forest in…golf carts? That’s right folks, the good people at Just Jared have given us a nice little wave of even more Russell Crowe Robin Hood goodness. Among those in the shots is Russell Crowe (as Robin Hood), [...]
Well here this reporter was thinking that the worst kind of heart-wrenching remakes would be along the lines of Fright Night & Flight of the Navigator, but once again I am proven wrong. 20th Century Fox decided to take advantage of the 30th anniversary of the classic Sci-fi movie Alien and completely turn it around [...]
Imagine walking out of your country cottage to see a bunch of guys clad in medieval wear, on horses galloping towards your bangers and mash. Yeah, I’d think I was high too.
Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood is currently filming in the English country and Britain’s Daily Mail snapped a few photos of the goings-on.
Spotted filming a [...]
