According to Vulture, Harlan Ellison, famed science fiction writer, is suing the Andrew Niccol and Regency, the makers of the upcoming Justin Timberlake feature, “In Time.” Ellison claims that it rips off his short story, “Repent Harlequin!” Said The Ticktockman” I read Ellison’s story many years ago, and it was inspirational–though I thought that “I […]
I found this new piece of promo art on Collider from from “The Avengers” and thought that people would be interested in seeing it (who don’t happen to check Collider). It makes really cool wallpaper for the person that just can’t quite get enough of superhero art, besides providing a glimpse of the Avengers in […]
Here’s the trailer for David Fincher’s English-language remake of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” I am posting this because I saw the trailer during “Contagion” (review forthcoming) and was almost deafened by the sound, which seemed intent upon pummeling me into submission. The teaser poster above is probably a bit too “breasty” for some, […]
Roland Emmerich, seemingly the inheritor of the “Master of Disaster” title from Irwin Allen, tells Collider that he isn’t going to make a film version of the video game Asteroids. This is a wise decision because, if you thought that the game Battleship was devoid of plot, Asteroids makes it seem like The Battleship Potemkin. That […]
Here’s the trailer for “Drive,” the latest film from Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling (though for my money, seeing Albert Brooks play whom I assume is a villain is what I really want to see). I saw the trailer during “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,” and though that it looked interesting, whichever accent […]
According to Aint It Cool News, the opening theme for the latest Bond adventure will probably not be done by The Fixx (who were robbed when the song”Fatal Shore” was not used for “Tomorrow Never Dies”) and will probably instead be done by Adele, who’s probably talented (I haven’t heard any of her music), but […]
Edited 9/8 1223 I happily posted a month or so ago that there was going to be a feature film based upon Gerry Anderson’s “UFO,” though when I heard no news about the project for a few months afterward, I assumed the worse. There was nothing from the studios outlining the project; nothing from the […]
For anyone interested in footage from The Avengers–and who isn’t?–here’s some really sharp (as in focus) pictures of Jeremy Renner, as Hawkeye, and Scarlet Johansson as Black Widow, courtesy of ScreenRant. According to the article, Hawkeye’s costume appears to be based upon the Ultimates version, and I think that it looks pretty functional, which is […]
I saw this trailer during “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” (review forthcoming) and got the feeling that it was only about planes and things exploding, which is perhaps a part of the tale of the Tuskegee Airmen, though hardly the most important one. I hope that the film deals with their individual stories, as […]
Here’s the trailer for Jonathan Levine’s “50/50,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen. I should mention that I am not a huge fan of Seth Rogen, though he gets props in my book for giving Joseph Gordon-Levitt top billing in a movie that he happens to not only appear in, but produced. The film revolves […]
