The Wachowskis’ Return To The Big Screen

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 […]

‘The Hunger Games’ Teaser Trailer

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, […]

Josh Brolin Is ‘Oldboy’

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).

Red Band “Are You Afraid Of The Dark” Trailer

Just in case the first trailer for Troy Nixey’s remake of “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” didn’t get your blood racing, here’s the red band trailer, where all sorts of nastiness is hinted at. Considering all the sinister goings on at Blackwood Manor, shouldn’t this film be called “You Will Definitely Be Afraid Of […]

‘The Invisible Man’ Redux

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 […]
