Sommers takes command of G.I. Joe.
Well this should be exciting. After all G.I. Joe (or Action Force as it was known to me as a kid), is one of the greatest cartoon series to have ever existed, and even that daft movie with the giant insects and Cobra Commander turning into a snake was completely awesome!
A director has now been [...]
Lost Boys are found
Well in this tidal wave of sequels currently occuring at the moment (with many going straight to DVD), Lost Boys 2 has got some cast members which are at the very least satisfactory for a redundant film.
Corey Feldman (along with Jamison Newlander) are returning as the Frog Brothers, while Corey Haim is back as Sam [...]
Virulents could be cool….
A reasonably unknown comic (well to me anyway) called Virulents is due to be adapted into a film, and this one could go either way. On one hand the story is as follows:
A small platoon of American soldiers in search of their missing comrades comes across Indian commandos looking for a group of terrorists suspected [...]
Feeling Star Struck? You probably just feel ill…
Sometimes film announcements which seem so obvious that they will happen, still surprise me. The very worst ideas that you know will be box office catastrophes and offend the sane movie-going public, are continually being made and there is not a thing to do about them.
So that’s the lead-up for news that Simon Cowell is [...]
Who will be directing The Last Man?
Y: The Last Man is one of my favourite comic book series. Written by Brian K. Vaughan, it’s an entertaining romp with some terrific characters and a wonderful set-up. It’s not exactly intellectually engaging, but at the very least it’s an incredibly fun story. The basic premise is:
Suddenly - and without warning - a mysterious [...]
The Punisher finds its new Dolph Lundgren
The guys at Latino Review have got the scoop on who will star in Lexi Alexander’s Punisher 2, and it just so happens to be Titus Pullo himself, Ray Stevenson.
Now I haven’t been following this story too closely, mainly because I’ve never been interested in the character, but as a fan of Rome, I think [...]
There is clearly a demand for Ace Ventura 3
As the ‘official’ Jim Carrey journalist on Beyond Hollywood, it is my pleasure to announce that Ace Ventura 3 is going into production this September, but sadly die hard Carrey fans will be disappointed that the comedian isn’t going anywhere near it.
It seems that those who loved Dumb & Dumberer and Son of the [...]
Carrey tries to be funny again in ‘Yes Man’
It has been less than a week when I happened to mention that Jim Carrey had signed up to play every single character in a new CGI version of A Christmas Carol (a slight exaggeration I admit). But now another of his new projects has been announced and this one is called ‘Yes Man‘.
In a [...]
Pure Imagination = Pure Genius
When I first saw Jonah Hill in The 40 Year Old Virgin, playing a slightly freaky guy trying to buy disco boots, I had absolutely no idea that there was a future for him as a leading man. But then again the same could have been said for Seth Rogen and many other Judd Apatow [...]

I believe this was rumoured a few days ago, when Bob Hoskins decided to spread early Christmas cheer, by announcing Robert Zemeckis’ latest project (the interesting thing is Bob Hoskins is not officially signed up to be in the film, so maybe he’s just excited for pal, or desperately wants a role…but the fact he [...]

While I happen to be one of those guys that reckons The Simpsons has lost nearly all the charm it once possessed many years ago, there will always be a warm place in my heart for the show. In its ‘glory days’, I absolutely loved everything about the folks from Springfield, so while I’m not [...]

I’ve never met the guy, or seen the movie, but there is something about Mr Magorium that I just don’t like. Sure Dustin Hoffman may very well be one of the greatest actors around, but that doesn’t change the fact that Magorium and his Emporium look rather annoying. Films like Toys try and show us [...]
