Remember when I wrote that Gary Ross was not coming back for “Catching Fire,” the sequel to “The Hunger Games, which he directed?” Well, that may or may not be true, as sources from Deadline illustrate. That being said, you’ll notice that they say that Ross did not “withdraw” from the franchise. Now, keep in […]
Lionsgate has been on a roll lately–after purchasing Summit Pictures, makers of the ‘Twilight’ films–and launching “The Hunger Games,” a franchise based upon the novels of Suzanne Collins. “The Hunger Games,” has earned almost $400 million worldwide, which is remarkable when you consider that it cost $78 million to produce and $45 million to advertise, […]
According to Collider, Shane Black’s “Iron Man 3″ is casting soon, so if you’ve never been an extra before, it’s worth considering. The last time I did it was on “The Dark Knight Rises” and that was a lot of fun (when you factor out that it was really cold, there was LOTS of running […]
“The only revelation that “Hellraiser: Revelations” offers is that someone either needs to take this franchise seriously, or let it die. “ I was browsing though Netflix, as I often do, looking for a decent horror flick. There’s are some classics, like William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist,” or Michael Winner’s “The Sentinel,” though for every classic, […]
Collider has a whole bunch of pictures from Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus.” They are mainly beauty shots or behind-the-scenes pics, and don’t reveal anything beyond what anyone following the production already knows. Though they are pretty, and hi-res.
I don’t own a cellphone. This is partially because I don’t see the need to be reachable by anyone, virtually any time. I have a landline, so if you’re calling me because your house is on fire, don’t! Hang up and call the […]
I was looking for a movie to catch tomorrow, when I found this new ‘Avengers’ trailer via Fandango. It shows all sort of interesting stuff–most of which I haven’t yet seen–and as far as I am aware it’s not available anywhere yet. It’s not embeddable yet, so I am posting a link to it.
“Wrath of the Titans,” officially premiered today, and I have to say that I have not seen it–nor intend to–for a few reasons: One of which is that I still remember “Clash of the Titans.” Then there’s the participation of Greg Berlanti, who’s I think was a huge contributor to the mess that was “Green […]
I have been re-reading H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness,” and–as much as I hate to say it–I am somewhat glad that the powers-that-be at Universal pulled the plug (Sure, for all the wrong reasons, but whatever). Don’t take that to mean that Guillermo Del Toro couldn’t have made an engrossing and terrifying film; […]
I like this trailer because Guillermo Del Toro is credited as an executive producer, and as far as I know he isn’t one of those ‘executive producer in name only‘ types. Besides, anything with his name on it instantly gets bonus points, redeemable toward thought-provoking, kick-arse cinema (in my humble opinion). We’re introduced to Santa […]
