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 […]
This isn’t “new” news, but since I haven’t heard it in awhile–and just finished watching the entire season of “Persons Unknown,” written by Chris McQuarrie, reminded me that he was supposed to be working on bringing StarBlazers to the big screen. What’s unusual about this is that there already was a big-screen version of “StarBlazers,” recently, […]
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).
Disney’s upcoming “The Lone Ranger” has been stopped because of cost overruns. This has happened despite the proven box office heft of Johnny Depp, who would have played Tonto, the Lone Ranger’s Native American scout and friend. Find the story here, via Deadline.
Here’s the link to the trailer for “Footloose,” the remake of Herbert Ross‘ 1984 film. It’s directed by Craig Brewer (of “Hustle & Flow,” and “Black Snake Moan” fame).

Antoine Fuqua is working on a boxing film called ‘Southpaw,’ starring Eminem. It seemed that it would be handled by DreamWorks, but they have declined, and it’s being shopped elsewhere.
Remember this particular scene from 1982’s “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan?” Then perhaps you know what I feel when I read that Eddie Murphy will be voicing ‘Hong Kong Phooey’ in a live action version of the cartoon. In case you don’t remember how that is, the intro to the cartoon is below, which […]
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Frank Darabont was fired from AMC’s highest rated series (which sounds like shooting oneself in the foot, if you ask me). The reasoning appears to be that he resisted a cut in the series budget, though one has to ask why, and it bears repeating, you fire the man behind […]
It goes without saying that Tyler Perry has been very good for Lionsgate. His last film, Medea’s Big Happy Family, earned $53 million in the United States–Box Office Mojo doesn’t list foreign box office for the film–but a strength of Tyler Perry is his ability to, seemingly on demand, bring the African-American audience into theaters, […]
