As part of their ongoing effort to raid the Chinese movie industry’s talent pool, the Weinsteins have snatched up an action-thriller screenplay called “Transit” by David Andron for Hong Kong director Andrew Lau (”Infernal Affairs”) to direct.

I don’t think it’s a surprise that the Denzel Washington-Russell Crowe crime team-up “American Gangster” took over the box office this weekend, but I think it is surprising that it was so dominant, taking in a whopping $46.3 million in its weekend debut. Coming in second place was the Jerry Seinfeld animation “Bee Movie”, which [...]

It’s official, folks, Hollywood writers are set to walk the picket line on Monday, tomorrow.

Russell Crowe and Denzel Washington teams up with Ridley Scott to punish the box office this weekend with their ’70s-set crime drama “American Gangster”. Meanwhile, the only hiccup in their plan for box office domination is one little animated bee in “Bee Movie” — but this bee is voiced by Jerry Seinfeld, which should give [...]

I hadn’t even heard of the latest Chinese stab at epic action filmmaking, the awkwardly titled “An Empress and the Warriors”, which will star Leon Lai, Donnie Yen, and Kelly Chen, until a reader emailed asking about it. After a brief search of the net, here’s what we have: Kelly Chen plays the Empress, and [...]

The Rock wasn’t sure who he should play in the upcoming Captain Marvel movie “Shazam”, so he let the readers of MTV’s Movie Blog decide. And they have. The Rock will be suiting up as Black Adam, the nemesis of the movie’s Captain Marvel. (Now I haven’t read the comics or anything, and I’m not [...]

Variety reports that David Fincher (”Zodiac”) is being pursued to direct the live-action movie version of a comic book series called “The Killer”, not to be confused with the John Woo movie of the same name, which is itself being unnecessarily remade at about the same time.

It looks like Japan’s Fiji TV thinks they might have an international hit on their hands — or at the very least, they’re hoping they do, because they’re bringing the Stephen Chow-produced action-comedy overseas to the American Film Market to sell.
