Bruce Willis’ Red Gets a Little Classier with Helen Mirren
I don’t have a clue what Helen Mirren is doing in an action movie starring Bruce Willis called “Red”, but word from the trades is that she’s joining the cast of the Willis actioner, and she won’t exactly be playing his mum, as they say across the pond. Instead, Mirren will...

More Awesome and Depressing Images from The Road
It’s not easy trying to keep your kid alive, what with all the cannibals running around licking their lips. For one, kids being kids, they don’t always listen to you, and let’s face it, haven’t we all entertained the idea of selling our kids for a nice meal at least once? Or not....

Nathan Fillion Talks Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog Sequel
I have to admit, when Joss Whedon and company premiered their little musical web show “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog”, I didn’t get onboard immediately. Nothing personal, but I’m just not a very big fan of Whedon. Mind you, not that I dislike the guy or his products or...

Is the Nightmare on Elm Street Remake Going for a PG-13 Rating?
The boys over at AICN have landed the first review from a recent screening of the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” remake, and the word is … mediocre? That’s just one fella’s opinion, but perhaps the biggest news is that the reviewer seems to get this nagging suspicion that the...

Black Summer Optioned aka Another Warren Ellis Comic Book Heads to the Movies
I hate to be all pessimistic on ya, but let’s face it, Warren Ellis’ “Black Summer” ain’t ever gonna get made into a live-action big-budget Hollywood movie. And without the big budget, it’s never going to be done right, which probably means it won’t get made....

Stallone Reveals Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarznegger Cameo in Expendables
And according to Stallone, it won’t be a blink-and-you’ll-miss cameo, either. Or one of those silly after the credits stunts, which forces you to sit through five hours of credit listing and really Godawful music to get to the “easter egg”. Instead, the scene will take place early...

Gamer and Crank Boys to do Zeroes for NBC
It’s a show about crisis situations, with each episode taking place at the end of the crisis and bypassing all that dull build-up stuff that usually accompanies said crisis situations on TV shows. You know, lots of talking, lots of button pushing, and lots of gradual panicking? When all that’s...

But What Mark Millar REALLY Wants to Do is Direct
Sure, he’s a famous comic book writer, but what Scotsman Mark Millar (writer of “Wanted” and the upcoming “Kick-Ass”) really, really wants to do is direct big action movies. Okay, maybe not really wants to do, but he’s been offered the opportunity, and the writer of...

Disgraced TV Prez Charles Logan Returning to 24 Season 8
First you thought he was a dolt, then it turns out he was kinda a mastermind. Okay, not really, because his conspiracy blew up in his face pretty fast, thanks to one Jack Bauer, but he was orchestrating the whole thing. The trades are now reporting that Charles Logan (played by Gregory Itzin) will return...

Box Office: Michael Jackson Is Sorta It, Boondock Sequel Not so Much
In a week without any other major studio competition, the Michael Jackson concert (rehearsal) movie “This is It” opened with $101 million worldwide, including $32 million in domestic ticket sales over a 5-day period, according to studio estimates. That’s good, but it’s nowhere...

Latest The Road Trailer Offers Voiceover and … Hope?
Apparently the studio has figured out that John Hillcoat’s faithful adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road” is a tad, shall we say, light on the pep. That might be the primary reason behind this new trailer (via Yahoo!), which seems to be trying to convince you things...

Out with Mel Gibson, and in with … Tom Hardy? Who the hell is Tom Hardy? Well, sci-fi fans might remember Hardy as the Young Jean-Luc Picard in the “Star Trek” movie “Nemesis”, though he’s since gone on to do numerous other movies, including bulking up for “Bronson”...

By Odin’s Beard! Anthony Hopkins is Thor’s Daddy
Surprise? Don’t be. “Thor” is being directed by Kenneth Branagh, after all. Once Marvel Studios hired on the Shakespeare man, it was pretty much “anything goes” when it comes to the studio’s Asgard product. According to the trades, Hannibal Lecter himself has all but...
