Here’s the trailer for Bennett Miller’s “Moneyball,” starring Brad Pitt. This doesn’t look like anything that we haven’t seen before, but I have to admit that when these types of films–the “come from behind, winning against incredible odds-type of film–are done well, they’re a joy to behold. I saw the trailer to this film during […]
Edited 9/2 1004 According to ScreenRant, the next Bond adventure will be called “Carte Blanche.” It’s the title of an actual James Bond novel, though by Jeffrey Deaver, who appears to have been chosen to helm the character by Ian Flemming’s estate. I don’t know about anyone else, but I don’t like it, especially when […]
The Wachowskis,’ Lana and Larry, not been represented on the big screen since 2003’s Matrix Revolutions, will be back with a film based upon David Mitchell’s novel, Cloud Atlas. The film is so ambitious that besides the Wachowski’s, Tom Twyker (if you haven’t seen “The International” catch it because it not only successfully depicts a bank […]
Here’s the teaser trailer for Gary Ross’s “The Hunger Games,” based upon the young adult series of novels by Suzanne Collins. I am aware of them (I dig their minimalist covers) but haven’t been seriously into ‘young adult’ fiction since John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.” I hope Lionsgate has better luck with this than “Conan, […]
Sorry about the delay on this one (damn work;). According to Deadline, Josh Brolin has signed up for Spike Lee’s “Oldboy.” I want to call it a remake of Chan-wook Park’s film, but it seems that it’s based upon the manga (which was the basis for the film).
The image to the left is supposedly of Nessie, which for me is similar to Disney’s 2010 hit “Tron: Legacy” in that I can feel it’s out there, though at the moment no one has seen any hints of it in the wild (yet). So what, there was no mention of the film on Disney’s […]
Edited 8/25 2239 David Goyer is preparing a version of H.G Wells’ “The Invisible Man” for Universal. The problem with this is that he isn’t a very good director (I still haven’t recovered from the mess that was “Blade: Trinity“), and he tends to be an even worse one when he’s directing from his own writing, when […]
When I heard that Universal was abandoning a film version of Hasbro’s ‘Ouija’ board game, I was glad because, while I have nothing against using a board game to inspire a movie, I definitely have a problem with a board game being the primary basis for a movie. This applies to Transformers as well, though […]
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 […]
Here’s some footage from “The Avengers.” The angle isn’t great, but it gives you an idea of what you’d be seeing on screen.
