White has a stab at Castlevania
Stomp The Yard’s mastermind, Sylvain White has been signed up to direct Castlevania (I love that title!). With the success of his debut, studios have been chasing after this guy, hoping he is the next big thing.
Scripted by Paul W.S. Anderson (”Alien vs. Predator“), the drama begins as a Transylvanian knight leads his men into [...]
Hulk Gets Hurt
In what could be one of the most impressive superhero movie casts assembled, The Incredible Hulk (which is technically Hulk 2, but must distance itself from Ang Lee as much as possible) now has another talented performer join its ranks…William Hurt!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Hurt will be filling Sam Elliott’s cowboy boots (figuratively speaking) [...]
The Very Lovely Bones
I read Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones earlier this year and fell in love with the story. Peter Jackson is absolutely perfect to direct this dark tale, which I’m basing primarily on having seen the sublime Heavenly Creatures.
Now his film finally has a cast member with Rachel Weisz. She will play the mother [...]
Battlestar keeps on battling!
Battlestar Galactica is awesome!
I never thought I’d get to say that on Beyond Hollywood, but I’m happy to have found a news item relating to a possible Battlestar movie. Now it’s only rumours and speculation at the moment, after producer David Eick mentioned he’d like to get a feature film made. and quite honestly my [...]
McG’s Monster
Lets face it, McG is never going to earn an inch of credibility if he continues to use that MTV-like moniker. Can you really imagine Jack Nicholson announcing the winner of the Best Director Oscar to be a guy called ‘McG’.
Equally, he’s not going to earn any credibility by making bad films, but I have [...]
The King of Kong Poster
I’m a sucker for documentaries that explore eccentric folk, such as the brilliant Wordplay (2006) which followed a bunch of charming people who competed in crossword competitions. Sure that sounds boring on paper, but the enthusiasm of the subjects involved was infectious, and for that reason I’m also looking forward to The King of Kong: [...]

TIME magazine has an article about forthcoming Pixar flicks, which are next on the schedule after Ratatouille. Now the trailers for Cars didn’t impress me enough to want to check it out (and that may be a mistake), but overall I’m a firm supporter of Pixar. I consider the original Toy Story, Finding Nemo and [...]

According to Superhero Hype!, Neil Gaiman’s spunky grim reaper is about to make her appearance on the big screen. Death: The High Cost of Living is slowly progressing forward, thanks in part to Guillermo del Toro, who is executive producer (I’ve really got to find out what an executive producer actually does). The plan to [...]

After watching Commando recently, it occurred to me that they really don’t make films like that anymore. With exception to Crank, it has been a while since I’ve seen a really silly action film that actually delivers its promise to be…well fun.
But with the new Shoot “˜Em Up trailer on IGN, I’ve got to [...]
Another I Am Legend Poster
Nothing beats a good apocalyptic adventure, and Will Smith in I Am Legend (December, 2007) should certainly be a crowd-pleaser. I’m not ashamed to admit that I dug the hell out of The Omega Man (if anyone could survive the end of mankind, I think it’s 1970s Charlton Heston), and I regard Richard Matheson’s book [...]
