Interviews with people in the industry.
Studios executives sometimes seem as if they do things to deliberately alienate the audience (coincidentally, the very same people that they expect to pay to see their movies). For instance, Alan Moore, as the writer of “Watchmen,” quite possibly the most acclaimed comic ever, was never keen that his projects be adapted for feature films. […]
I was drifting around the Internet, when I found this YouTube post from Jace Hall (the guy who’s spearheading the upcoming (?) “Space: 2099”). The recording isn’t the best, and Landau (Commander Koenig from the original series) doesn’t say all that anything that most fans of the original series don’t already know, but it’s good […]
When I heard that Joe Carnahan was moving on to a remake of Michael Winner’s “Death Wish,” from the aborted “Daredevil,”I was relieved that another property has made its way back to The House Of Ideas (where he joins the Punisher and Blade). What I wasn’t so crazy was that another film that didn’t require […]
Deadline: New York has a great interview with Guillermo Del Toro, from Comic-con, where he’s discussing his upcoming “Pacific Rim,” as well as how he feels about “The Hobbit,” and “At The Mountains Of Madness.”
“Streets of Fire,” “48 Hrs.,” “Another 48 Hrs.,” “Last Man Standing,” “Supernova” (which he disowned because of creative differences between him and the studio that released the film) are among the films directed by the uber-talented Walter Hill. If that were the only role he played in Hollywood, there would be enough material for a […]
For those of you, like me, that happen to think that Guillermo del Toro is the best thing to happen to American genre film since latex, Vulture has an interview.
Milton’s Paradise Lost will be coming soon to a theater near you, by way of Alex Proyas (of “The Crow,” “Dark City,” “I, Robot,” etc), though my question is when did Alex Proyas–a very talented director, by the way–take the helm of this project? That being said, I suspect that as long as he’s allowed to […]
It appears that this is Justin Timberlake’s year. First “Bad Teacher,” Friends With Benefits,” and now “In Time.” He has an earnestness that’s refreshing, though I am not sure that I buy him as a serious badass, or someone that can carry an entire movie. Then again, the film also has Cillian Murphy, who’s always […]
Edited 7/21 at 1231 According to Deadline, New Line is dropping the reboot of “Escape From New York.” This is great news because I can’t be the only person tired of remakes seemingly for the purpose of name recognition and–I assume–because they’re easier to do in that you’re working in a already established universe that’s […]
Spike Lee has confirmed that he is doing “Oldboy,” according to Aintitcoolnews. The article makes the point of telling us that it’s a remake of Chan wook-Park’s film, not the anime. Also, according to Blackfilm he’s revisiting some of the characters from his breakout 1989 film, “Do The Right Thing” in “Red Hook Summer.” Spike Lee, despite what […]
