Does the premise of Shawn Levy‘s “Real Steel,” promoter has junky robot that has to overcome the odds against more advanced, more dangerous opponents, strike anyone else as silly (which is saying something based upon some of the films out there)? And if that were not enough of a hurdle to overcome, it also sounds […]
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 […]
According to Deadline Noah Oppenheim has been chosen to write the reboot of John Badham’s 1983 film, “War Games.” The movie revolves around a high school student that becomes a fan of a video game that’s actually a war games simulation for the computer (W.O.P.R) that’s tasked with defending the United States against nuclear attack […]
According to Deadline, Ridley Scott is going to follow up 1982’s “Blade Runner.” Whether or not the new film is a sequel, prequel or remake is unknown.
Here’s some ‘Batwing’ footage from the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises” (which for some reason I always want to write as ‘Batman Rises.’) It looks like an interesting vehicle, though perhaps a little bit Transformerish (as much as I like to hope that the Transformers shouldn’t be taken as a high-water mark of anything, there […]
Anyone with $55,000 burning a hole in their pockets, Hammacher Schlemmer has a motorcycle based upon the design of the Light Cycles from Tron: Legacy for sale. Here’s some YouTube video of one of the vehicles being built.
And in the Unnecessary Remake Department, Bradley Cooper will no longer play the lead in Juan Carlos Fresnadillo’s (unnecessary) remake of Alex Proyas‘ “The Crow.” And the worse thing about remaking the film is that, the concept of the “The Crow” is that some (it doesn’t have to be a man, which would actually be […]
Screenrant has an artist’s depiction of the S.H.I.E.L.D helicarrier from Joss Whedon’s upcoming “The Avengers.” They also had a picture of the ‘quinjet’ used by the team, but that was pulled at the artist’s request (though I am pretty sure that if you look around, you can find an image).
I just watched Bill Hicks: Sane Man, and was looking for something else to bide my time till I went to bed–which I should have done hours ago. I was about to shut down, when I noticed “Space Precinct” on Netflix streaming. I started with”Protect And Survive,” the first in the series. I haven’t seen […]
All you hear about lately are films being remade. What gets to me, besides the seeming cynicalness of the whole pursuit, is the way it seems that the better a film is, the more likely it is to be remade; which doesn’t make any sense. Why remake something that was well-done the first time around? […]
