J.J. Abrams Talks Cloverfield 2

We know it’s coming, mostly because the original made so much money ($160-plus worldwide and counting), and in Hollywood, money talks and you know what walks — and doesn’t get a sequel. But can a sequel possibly top the first? Probably not, but that’s not going to stop J.J. Abrams...

The Latest Dark Knight Poster is Cool

I was stunned when the latest poster for “Wanted” came out and it was so… bleh. Then here you have the latest poster for Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight”, and it rocks pretty much everything that isn’t nailed down to the floor. Now THIS is what a movie poster...

Guillermo del Toro Will Direct the Hobbit and its Sequel

The trades reported that Guillermo del Toro was in talks with New Line Cinema to replace Peter Jackson on the live-action “The Hobbit” movies (yes, two movies, to be shot back-to-back) in January, but we haven’t heard anything concrete since. For a while there, it didn’t seem...

Latest Trailer for Hancock Looks Good

I don’t care what all the advance screening reviews have said, Peter Berg’s “Hancock” is still right up there on my list of “Most Wanted” movies to see in the Summer. How could the combination of funny-heroic Will Smith, a smoking hot Charlize Theron, and Peter Berg...

Uber producer Joel Silver has already expressed his desire to bring Wonder Woman to the big screen, but if he succeeds, who should play Wonder Woman?

Is Hard Boiled Next for Frank Miller?

And no, we’re not talking about a Hollywood remake of John Woo’s “Hard Boiled” with Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung (although I’m sure that’s in the pipe somewhere, knowing Hollywood). Instead, the “Hard Boiled” being referred to was a comic book limited series...

Is the Justice League Movie Finally Dead?

Could it be? Is the Justice League movie dead, or at the very least, been put on delay mode for a very, very long time? One can only hope. I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again: I’m excited about a Justice League movie, but not so much about anything that I’ve heard about...

First Look at 24 Season 7 Cast Promo

I’m not sure if this is the first cast promo from Season 7 of FOX’s action-adventure show 24 that has surfaced online, but a reader (thanks, Josh!) who knows my affinity for the bloody exploits of one Jack Bauer, has sent in what he says is the first look at the 24 Season 7 cast. Besides...

First Look at Eva Mendes in The Spirit, New Poster

I guess Lionsgate realizes that there are a lot of interest for their little movie “The Spirit”. I hear it’s a no-budget prestige picture for the film. Just kidding, of course. But Lionsgate is starting to release images from the movie, first the groovy posters, then those looks at...

Kung Fu Dunk (2008) Movie Review

Although based upon the manga “Slam Dunk”, “Kung Fu Dunk” is basically an attempt to emulate the success of Hong Kong comedy megastar Stephen Chow’s smash hit “Shaolin Soccer”. A vehicle for popster/actor/director Jay Chou, the film gives him a chance to combine...

First Image from Kiefer Sutherland’s Mirrors

Hollywood has remade horror movies from Asia about pretty much anything and everything, including videotapes, cellphones, and houses, so why not mirrors? That’s the haunted object in the upcoming Alexandre Aja horror movie “Mirrors”, which is based on the 2003 South Korean horror movie...

Marvel and BET Team Up for Black Panther Animated Show

T’Challa, the king of Wakanda, will probably never make it to the big screen (damn the man! they’re not ready for an ass-kicking brotha from the jungle, that’s the problem), but that doesn’t mean he will be denied completely. Variety reports that the black entertainment channel...

First Look at Rachel Nichols as Scarlett in G.I. Joe

First Snake Eyes, and now Scarlett. I would like to tell you that this very first official look at “G.I. Joe’s” Scarlett (played by former Alias babe Rachel Nichols) in full costume is good, but that would be underselling it, because Rachel Nichols, dressed in a sleek black body armor-type...

The Spirit Action Figure Looks Spirit-y

Lionsgate yanked all the images of The Spirit that were leaked onto the net last week, but apparently they didn’t think to tell DC Comics not to show us what the Spirit looks like in full costume, because the site has released a look at the Spirit 1:6 scale Deluxe Collector Figure, which is going...

Movie Trailer: Batman Gotham Knight
