Keira Knightley in PIRATES 3 Promos
Keira Knightley returns to kick more scurvy pirate ass (the living and the dead versions, apparently) in “Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World’s End” May 25th, 2007, but you can catch her here first in some “At World’s End” promos. In part 3, Will Turner (Orlando Bloom), Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley) are allied with Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) in a desperate quest to free Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) from his mind-bending trap in Davy Jones’ locker, while the terrifying ghost ship, The Flying Dutchman and Davy Jones, under the control of the East India Trading Company, wreaks havoc across the Seven Seas.
SPIDER-MAN 3 Pictures Galore
21 April 2007
This is the last time I’m going to be posting pictures from the upcoming “Spiderman 3″, because frankly, after a while there isn’t a whole lot left to post, and the film will be released May 4th, 2007 anyway. But these batch are pretty new, and I don’t recall seeing a whole lot of them online yet. There are also some really good pictures of Bryce Dallas Howard as Gwen Stacy, and I’m finding her more and more appealing in the role. She certainly looks a lot more fresh than Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane. Maybe it’s just me, but like Julia Stiles, Dunst looks 30 going on 40. Anyways, enjoy the latest “Spider-Man 3″ pics.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony in EL CANTANTE
21 April 2007
When will celebrities learn? If you are involved, never do a movie with each other. It never ends well. But I guess no one bothered to tell Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, because they’re starring in “El Cantante”, an autobiography about Hector Lavoe (Anthony), who was apparently (I say “apparently” because I’ve never heard of him, and I thought “salsa” was a chip sauce) one of the biggest Spanish-language singers in the 1970s, but personal tragedy and a heroin addiction ruined his life and left him penniless. Don’t you hate it when that happens? “El Cantante” is directed by Leon Ichaso and opens August 1st, 2007. Pictures and a link to the trailer here.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney in the Coen Brothers’ BURN AFTER READING
21 April 2007
Via Empire Online, who reports that Brad Pitt and George Clooney are set to team up once again (they were both in all three “Ocean’s Eleven” movies) on the Coen Brothers’ “Burn After Reading”. Clooney plays the lead in this story about a CIA agent who loses the disc of a book he’s writing. Frances McDormand, who is married to one of the Coen Brothers and has been in all of their movies, also stars. Besides Clooney’s role, there are no information on who Pitt or McDormand will play. That’s a Coen brothers thing, they treat all their movies like NASA secrets for some unfathomable reason. They make good movies, though.
Vincenzo Natali Gears Up for DNA Thriller SPLICED
20 April 2007
Via Fangoria, here’s news that Canadian filmmaker Vincenzo Natali has finally gotten off his ass and is gearing up his first full feature-length movie since 2003’s “Nothing”. (In the meantime, he had done the documentary “Getting Gilliam” in 2005, and did a segment of the French film “Paris, je t’aime” in 2006.) Anyways, it’s good to hear that Natali will be back with a full movie, if only because I find everything he does to be infinitely fascinating, ever since his highly creative low-budget hit “Cube” in 1997. And hell, I even loved his short film “Elevated” in the same year.
Tony Leung Back in John Woo’s BATTLE OF RED CLIFF
20 April 2007
It wasn’t that long ago that Chow Yun Fat vacated the lead role in John Woo’s massively expensive Mainland Chinese epic movie “The Battle of Red Cliff”, Tony Leung, who left the movie himself earlier, has now returned to assume Fat’s role. Say what? No, really. Variety says, “Leung dropped out of the film in March when he was skedded to play a different character. At the time, he said he felt unable to commit to the six-month shoot that the pic entails. He was replaced by Takeshi Kaneshiro.” So basically Leung left, was replaced by Takeshi Kaneshiro, then Fat left, and now Leung is back, but playing Fat’s role, while Kaneshiro still has his original role. Ooooh boy. I just hope all of this moving around doesn’t damage the film.
Matthew Fox is Racer X in SPEED RACER Movie
20 April 2007
Apparently tired of fighting smug “Others” or trying to get into Kate’s pants now that Sawyer has already gotten there first, Matthew Fox (aka Jack on “Lost”) is in final negotiations to join the cast of the Wachowski Brothers’ “Speed Racer” live-action movie, reports The Hollywood Reporter. “Speed” is about a young race car driver named Speed (to be played by Emile Hirsch) and his quest for glory in his thundering, gadget-laden Mach 5. Fox will play Speed’s mysterious racing rival, an enigmatic soldier of fortune known only as Racer X.
Kevin Costner in MR. BROOKS Images
19 April 2007
Got in some new stills from the upcoming Kevin Costner serial killer movie “Mr. Brooks” (opening June 1st, 2007). Consider MR. BROOKS. A successful businessman. A generous philanthropist. A loving father and devoted husband. Seemingly, he’s perfect. But Mr. Brooks has a secret — he is an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him — until now. Come on, admit it, the prospect of seeing Costner as a lethal serial killer intrigues you to no end. It certainly does me.
COLOSSUS: THE FORBIN PROJECT Remake On the Way
19 April 2007
Variety reports that Brian Grazer, head honcho of Imagine Entertainment, has already put a scribe to writing a remake of the 1970 sci-fi movie “Colossus: The Forbin Project”, with an eye toward his studio partner Ron Howard directing. Based on a book by D.F. Jones, the original film was a forerunner of movies like “Terminator,” introducing the idea of a government-built computer that becomes sentient and then takes control. Stupid humans, always giving computers control.
Mandy Moore in Another Bona Fide Stinker, LICENSE TO WED
18 April 2007
Poor Mandy Moore. I like the girl. I really, really do. How much? Heck, I sobbed openly (and embarrassingly) at the end of “A Walk to Remember”. But what has poor Mandy done since? How about “Try Seventeen”, “Saved!”, “Chasing Liberty”, and “American Dreamz”. What, you’ve never heard of any of those? Well chances are you did hear about them, but you just never saw them. Don’t worry, you weren’t the only ones. No one saw them except Mandy’s agents, who put her in those movies in the first place. To wit: Mandy, you really gotta get new agents, baby, you’re killing your career with these crappy cinematic abominations if you’ve been in. Or at the very least, hire someone with some commercial sensibilities.
Kate Beckinsale is … BARBARELLA?
18 April 2007
The latest Hollywood remake news is that British import Kate Beckinsale is in the running for the totally unnecessary (but they’re gonna do it anyway) remake of “Barbarella”, a role originally assayed by a pre-hippie Jane Fonda and based on the comic books by Jean-Claude Forest. This news comes courtesy of Moviehole, who points out that last week Sienna Miller was supposed to be the frontrunner for the role. Can I see Kate as Barbarella? Hell yeah, especially very lightly dressed.
A Review of MY NAME IS BRUCE, Plot Details
18 April 2007
It’s not easy being a B-list actor with fans in the millions based on a couple of movies you did in the late ’70s/early ’80s where you were mostly covered in blood and got tossed around a forest by your “best friend”, who seemed to really enjoy hurting you. Then your career amounts to playing leads in crappy C-list sci-fi movies and crappy cameos in A-list Hollywood movies directed by some dude name Sam Raimi. Such is life for Bruce Campbell, the only guy who can save even the most atrocious movies ever made by modern man (see “Alien Apocalypse” for an example”). Bruce’s latest movie is “My Name is Bruce”, and according to this reviewer, it’s a humdinger.
Final TRANSFORMERS Posters and Standee
18 April 2007
Via ComingSoon, here are some new “Transformers” posters and theater standees (you know, those big posters you see standing in the theater lobbies?) that you may or may not have seen before recently sent out by Paramount Pictures. DreamWorks Pictures has released the final psoters and a photo of a new standee for director Michael Bay’s Transformers, opening in theaters on July 4. The sci-fi action-adventure stars Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Josh Duhamel, Anthony Anderson, Rachael Taylor, Megan Fox, John Turturro and Jon Voight.
Ridley Scott Pursues Russian CHILD 44
18 April 2007
How something like an unpublished (re: unfinished) novel gets sold to film companies is a mystery to me. Even more of a mystery than why film companies buy something that isn’t even finished, much less seen what the reaction to it is from the book buying public. I guess it’s all about taking risks, which makes you wish Hollywood suits would apply that same risk-taking attitude to, you know, making more original movies instead of just constantly remaking crap from the ’80s or Asia. But anyways, I’m going on a rant again. Ridley Scott has been hired by Fox 2000 to direct and produce “Child 44″, based on the soon-to-be published novel of the same name by Tom Rob Smith.
Chow Yun Fat Leaves THE BATTLE OF RED CLIFF
17 April 2007
Only three days into shooting his mega chinese pic, “The Battle of Red Cliff”, and John Woo has already lost two of his leading men — first Tony Leung (”Infernal Affairs”), and now his longtime muse, Chow Yun Fat (”Replacement Killers”), reports Variety. So what happened, and what’s going on over there in China? The film’s producer, longtime Woo collaborator Terence Chan said: “We are replacing Chow Yun-fat since the bond company CineFinance would not approve his agreement.” Um, that doesn’t make sense. Read on…
Sam Raimi to Direct THE HOBBIT?
17 April 2007
So word around the Internet Fanboy Water Cooler (or IFWC as I like to call it — well, not really) is that Sam Raimi is currently pondering offers to take over the directing reins of “The Hobbit” from Peter Jackson, who is still in all manner of legal fisticuffs with New LIne Cinema, the studio that owns “The Hobbit”, post-”Lord of the Rings” glory. Who knows what’s going on there, or who is telling the truth about the situation, but it certainly seems like Sam Raimi is reaping the benefits. And coming off three huge films in “Spider-Man” 1, 2, and the upcoming 3, it’s time for Raimi to get p-a-i-d. And if he does direct “The Hobbit”, he’s gonna get paid.
Famke Janssen in Thriller 100 FEET
17 April 2007
Via Fangoria, here are some more details about former “X-Men” star Famke Janssen’s upcoming horror/thriller “100 Feet”. The movie revolves Janssen’s character, a woman who, in an act of self-defense, murders her abusive police-officer husband. Convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to house arrest, Janssen finds her problems further compounded by her husband’s ex-NYPD partner, who waits diligently for her to break her parole, and the arrival of her vengeful ghost of a hubbie, who’s on scene to wreak supernatural havoc within the domicile.
Michael Bay to Direct PRINCE OF PERSIA Next
17 April 2007
Michael Bay gets such a bad rap in the fan community. Then again, the “fan community” thinks Quentin Tarantino’s farts smell like roses, so what do they know. In any case, I’ve always liked Bay’s films — the man has an eye for action, pacing, and how to keep both things moving at breakneck pace. Say what you will, but that’s my definition of “popcorn movie”, and he delivers. Coming off “Transformers”, Bay has now been attached to the movie version of the “Prince of Persia” videogames. In the games, a Persian Prince (duh, “Prince of Persia”, get it?) must stop evildoers from claiming his throne, even if he has to hack their heads off to do it. It’s a Persian thing.
Kirsten Dunst Gives Herself too Much Credit
17 April 2007
In a recent interview with someone for something, Kirsten Dunst was asked about a possible “Spider-Man 4″ movie without Tobey Maguire and her in starring roles, and without Sam Raimi directing. To which Dunst replied: “Audiences aren’t stupid. It’d be a big flop without me, Tobey or Sam.” Um, okay, you almost got two-thirds of that sentence right, Kirsten. A “Spider-Man 4″ without Maguire and Raimi wouldn’t make as much money as the previous three (and I’m assuming that “Spider-Man 3″ is going to make buttloads of money, I dare ya to disagree), but it would still score pretty big base off the “Spider-Man” name recognition alone. But as to how much your disappearance would negatively impact the film’s box office? About zilch to none, babe. Sorry to haveta break it to ya, but you ain’t that important to the franchise.
Thora Birch’s Dad Coached Her Sex Scene
16 April 2007
As the saying goes, Nothing good ever comes from having an ex-porn actor as your dad. Take “American Beauty” actress Thora Birch’s situation for example, on the set of her new movie “The Winter of Frozen Dreams”: Jack, who co-starred with Thora’s mother Carol Connors in the notorious porno film ‘Deep Throat’, was adamant on watching is daughter’s imitated sexual intercourse with co-star Dean Winters, despite the general rule to shoot sex sequences on a closed set. But wait! It gets better!
