Antoine Fuqua is working on a boxing film called ‘Southpaw,’ starring Eminem. It seemed that it would be handled by DreamWorks, but they have declined, and it’s being shopped elsewhere.

Tyler Perry TV
It goes without saying that Tyler Perry has been very good for Lionsgate. His last film, Medea’s Big Happy Family, earned $53 million in the United States–Box Office Mojo doesn’t list foreign box office for the film–but a strength of Tyler Perry is his ability to, seemingly on demand, bring the African-American audience into theaters, […]
New ‘The Adventures of Tintin’ Poster
Here’s the latest poster for Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson’s “The Adventures of Tintin” (It appears that they dropped the “The Secret of the Unicorn”). Tinin, an intrepid reporter that goes on various adventures accompanied by his dog, Snowy, and assisted by an eccentric assortment of characters, was created by Hergè. The character has seeming […]
‘Anonymous’ Trailer
Not sure what I think about this one. My doubt doesn’t come from someone questioning whether Shakespeare wrote some, or any, of his plays; that particular concern has been around for awhile. No, what concerns me is that Roland Emmerich (what a cool first name. Roland. Sounds like a knight or something) is directing […]
‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Sequel Coming in 2014
Edited 8/7 1249 Columbia Pictures is so confident about Marc Webb’s upcoming “Amazing Spider-Man” that they have already approved a sequel, which is probably going to be a problem for whomever decides to direct because it doesn’t exactly give much time for prep (unless Columbia is going to do a “Lord of the Rings” and make two films […]
New Batman Vs. Bane Footage!
I have been looking for a source for new footage on Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Night Rises,” and I have decided to look where no one else would even suspect: Team Coco! As usual, they were right on the money. Here’s the footage that I found, and you have not ever seen elsewhere (except for […]
Galaxy Of Terror
Despite being a film who’s sole claim to fame was that James Cameron (of “Titanic” and “Avatar” fame) handled the art direction, “Galaxy of Terror” was a lot more than a low-budget “Alien” knockoff. It had cool spaceships and interesting underlying themes (namely that facing your fears gives you power over them). Sure, the end […]
‘Serena Kyle’ Pics From ‘Batman Rises’
Edited 8/5 1109 1116 2047 Various blogs have already posted images of Anne Hathaway as “Serena Kyle” from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises,” so of course I am going to as well, though with a caveat: I am not particularly crazy about what Chris Nolan is doing with the franchise. Sure it’s profitable, […]
‘Thor 2’ Helmer Found!
After Kenneth Branagh decided not to direct ‘Thor 2,’ though he is returning to the franchise in the role of producer, the call went out for a replacement. According to Firstshowing.net, Brian Kirk is to assume the director’s chair. He’s directed episodes of “The Tudors.” A Game of Thrones,” and “Dexter,” among others.
Lawrence Fishburne Cast As Perry White
This has got to be one of the most interesting casting decisions I have seen in awhile. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lawrence Fishburne is playing Perry White in Zach Snyder’s “Man of Steel,” his reboot/reimaging of Superman. He’s definitely got the presence (and gravitas to spare) for the role, though I am concerned what […]
