My thoughts and stuff…
We found out back in March that David Cronenberg’s EASTERN PROMISES was likely to receive a sequel. This would mark Cronenberg’s first sequel ever, but a sequel that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks to one of the stars of the first film, Vincent Cassel, we have learned both exciting and saddening news about the project.
Check out what Cassel had to say after the break! Continue reading “Update on EASTERN PROMISES 2; not Cronenberg's next”
The Warner Bros. GREEN LANTERN film is fast approaching, and the studio seems to be building it up to be one of their biggest superhero franchises and a tentpole summer blockbuster. Needless to say, the buzz over the Ryan Reynolds-starring film hasn’t been too bad either. There’s almost no doubt that the film will be huge, and Warner has recognized that.
To prove their faith, they have already hired a writer to write a sequel. Continue reading “GREEN LANTERN 2 already has a screenwriter”
Every so often, it’s a good idea to keep things kind of classy. In the film world, there is no better way to do that than to pine over The Criterion Collection. For those who aren’t familiar, Criterion is a company that collects cinema’s finest and puts out astounding DVD/Blu-ray sets. This just so happens to be a specialty of Josh’s and, to add to the fun, we have a special guest – James McCormick from Criterion Cast. Needless to say, he knows his stuff and made this an episode to remember!

Not a lot of people know this, but before film took over every facet of my being, video games were my thing. As much as I still love gaming, it can be hard to find the time to play something. So now, a game has to be really cinematic and quite good to convince me to put my life on hold till I beat it.
For any gamers out there, you might recognize names like Ron Gilbert, Cliff Bleszinski, Peter Molyneux. Soon, PAN’S LABYRINTH director Guillermo del Toro might be joining their ranks as a name in gaming. Continue reading “Guillermo del Toro to jump in the video game business”
Just a couple of days ago we let you in on the status of Nicholas Sparks’ next big project Safe Haven, which had already built up an intense bidding war before the book’s release. At the time, it was seen as pretty likely that either Disney or Warner Bros. would end up with the rights, as they have had recent Sparks films come out.
But in an all-out bidding war, sometimes the unexpected can happen. Continue reading “"Safe Haven" goes to Relativity”
Lately I’ve been reminded first-hand how much I really love MONSTERS, INC., as it has been playing on the movie channels nonstop the past couple of weeks. Ironically, that was exactly how my love for the film was first formed. Still, nine years later the film still has the same effect on me.
Like many Pixar and MONSTERS fan, I’ve been anxiously anticipating a follow-up to the original for years, but now whiny vampires are messing with my dreams. Continue reading “Pixar moves up MONSTERS, INC. 2 release date, thanks to second BREAKING DAWN”
It’s no secret that Luc Besson is one of the greatest filmmakers of all time in my a-little-jealous-of-his-talent eyes, and I would watch just about anything that he is involved with. He constantly picks up new projects to work on, and he also co-writes just about every Statham movie in existence.
Now he plans on sending the gorgeous Maggie Grace into space in his newest brainchild, LOCKOUT. Continue reading “Maggie Grace visits space in Luc Besson film, LOCKOUT”
A while back, it was announced that director David O. Russell was going to be adapting one of my favorite video game series, Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune, into a feature film. Although the game is already incredibly cinematic, many fans agree that an UNCHARTED film would be a great supplement.
Now the film’s fate is a little more rocky, as Russell has left the project. Continue reading “David O. Russell no longer UNCHARTED”

It’s amazing to look back on NBC’s Heroes now that it is completely over and ended, and realize the ups and downs that it went through. Over its four year run, it went from being one of the highest-rated and most popular shows on television, to a passé thing that was easy to make fun of. This didn’t stop it from being a weekly tent-pole show for me throughout the entirety of its run. Continue reading “Blu-ray Review: "Heroes," season four”
I’m not sure if there has ever been a film project nearly as frustrating for fans as that of the ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT film. The worst (and best) part about it is that every positivebit still elicits excitement, just as every negativeve bit is still really saddening.
However, this newest update on the film is one of the happy ones, as the script is apparently half-done. The word comes from series creator Mitch Hurwitz himself. Check out what he had to say after the break! Continue reading “ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT film update time – script is half-done”
