Spider-Man 4 and 5 to Shoot Back-to-Back?
Let’s face it: we all knew Sony wasn’t just going to let the Spider-Man franchise die. Even without returning director Sam Raimi, or returning stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst (and all three are looking like they want out), the franchise WILL go on come hell or high water. When movies make as much money [...]

So here it is, as promised by director Rob Cohen — the first trailer for the third installment (some would say, fourth) in “The Mummy” franchise, “Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”.

The horror fiends over at Fangoria has a couple of very interesting news tidbits concerning George Romero’s original “Dawn of the Dead” movie. The news comes from the mouth of producer Richard Rubinstein, who informs them that they’re planning a re-release of Romero’s original 1979 “Dawn of the Dead” — in 3-D! Yes, 3-D. They [...]

Forget for one moment that Marvel’s announced “Thor” movie no longer has a director, or even a star except a rumor about Brad Pitt being offered the role. What it does have is a sorta finished script by Mark Protosevic (”I am Legend”). Now forget all that stuff, and just concentrate on this question: Rumor [...]

It cost north of $150 million to make, and scored a meager $18 million in its opening weekend. This, despite a blitzkrieg of advertising on and offline, and some serious buzz in the fan community. Who didn’t geekgasm when the very first picture of the Mach 5 was released? I’m not even a fan of [...]

With the awesome “SPL” still fresh in the memory, it’s hard to imagine any Hong Kong action fan not getting excited at the prospect of “Fatal Move”. Boasting a cast reunion of Simon Yam, Wu Jing and the legendary Sammo Hung, and bringing in familiar faces such as Danny Lee, Tien Niu, Lam Suet and [...]

Witches, dark museums, and Rome. Oh my!

This is the [...]

Daniel Lee’s “Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon” is the second of the big-budget Chinese epics that I’ve seen, including the very underwhelming “An Empress and the Warriors”. It is also the first of two movies based on the epic Chinese novel “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” by Luo Guanzhong. There are two other Chinese [...]

To no one’s surprise, “Iron Man” cleaned up at the box office with a worldwide take of $200 million in its first week of release. With that in mind, it’s then no surprise that Marvel has already announced that “Iron Man 2″ will be coming our way very soon — as in, in 2010. Which [...]
