Oh. My. God (pardon the pun). Darren Aronofsky has recently made a quite profitable film–”Black Swan”–and for some reason feels the need to ruin his one-film profitability streak by making a movie about Noah’s Ark. The last myth-based film, 2010’s “Clash of the Titans” was profitable, but despite being a mediocre film, at least had […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, David DiGillio is writing the sequel to Tron: Legacy. The original writers, Edward Kitsis (mistakenly called Adam Kitsis in the article) and Adam Horowitz, are busy with a project for the ABC television network and are currently unavailable. As I mentioned in a prior post, despite its marketing costs, Tron: […]
Comic book characters have been on television and in movies for many years, though the publishers of such characters have in the past been more numerous.

Now take this with a HUGE mound of salt, but according to ComicBookMovie.com, Shockya.com, and numerous other sites, Tom Welling, who just completed playing Superman in Smallville, is being courted by Marvel Studios. Various writers then make a leap that would do the Hulk proud, and assume that the character that Marvel expects him to play […]
Marvel Studios’ “Thor” has pulled in $122 million dollars in the United States after two weeks, and $230 million overseas. Not too shabby for a $150 million dollar film.
Yahoo! Movies posted a short clip from the upcoming “X-Men: First Class.” There have been a few teaser trailers for the upcoming prequel to the popular X-Men Trilogy released in the past, but this is our first real glimpse at how the movie will really feel. The clip is only a minute long, but it […]
According to CNET, DVD sales are down 20 percent. And while I can’t speak for anyone but myself, I know that if there’s a choice between downloading a movie via iTunes or purchasing a DVD, I will virtually always go with iTunes.
The Hughes Brothers, once again on the A-list after the success of The Book Of Eli–which pulled in around $150 million dollars worldwide–were offered Akira, based upon the anime by Katsuhiro Otomo.
Now that MGM (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer) is on more or less stable ground (after filing for bankruptcy in the latter part of 2010) the studio appears to be preparing the next outing of James Bond. For the moment the new film is known as James Bond 23 (the ’23’ representing the 23rd film in the series).
