LEATHERFACE 3D gets a director

2003’s THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remake was one of the films that jumpstarted the modern trend of horror remakes. It ended up being an insanely scary movie, and even led to a 2006 prequel. The idea of a third film to join the new era of Leatherface has been around since 2009, with 3D being one of its major selling points. Then the film seemingly disappeared, until now.

Director John Luessenhop is now in talks to join the project. The helmer most recently directed TAKERS. Continue reading “LEATHERFACE 3D gets a director” →

These days, Batman is one of the most popular superheroes out there. After having a major revival with Christopher Nolan’s BATMAN BEGINS, he quickly rose back to the public eye. After Nolan’s epic sequel, THE DARK KNIGHT, Batman’s popularity was unparalleled. With THE DARK KNIGHT RISES on its way, what other ways can they keep us interested?

Disney in negotiations to make Ice Cube's CHROME AND PAINT

Ice Cube busted on to the scene in the late eighties with his iconic rap group N.W.A., and subsequently evolved himself into an actor after his unforgettable performance in BOYZ N THE HOOD. After that performance, he hasn’t had a problem finding acting work, but now he looks to be expanding his resume even further.

His upcoming film project, CHROME AND PAINT, is currently in negotiations with Disney, who is looking to make the film in to a PG-13 feature. The film is set to be directed by Ice Cube, who also co-wrote the script and will star in the film. It has been likened to BOYZ N THE HOOD, only set against the subculture of customized cars and their popularity in South Central Los Angeles. The film’s co-writer, Eva Vives, will be doing some re-writes, and the film is expected to shoot at the end of summer.

CHROME AND PAINT would mark Ice Cube’s second directorial outing with a feature film, his first being 1998’s THE PLAYERS CLUB. Continue reading “Disney in negotiations to make Ice Cube's CHROME AND PAINT” →

Trailer for Roland Emmerich's ANONYMOUS lands

I first heard about Roland Emmerich’s film ANONYMOUS at 2010’s SXSW Film Festival, during my interview with actor Rhys Ifans. He briefly mentioned the plot of the film and his involvement, but didn’t have much else to say about it. Even at the time I remember being fascinated with the concept of Shakespeare not writing what is claimed to be his work, but couldn’t really imagine what the film would be like.

Now we have a pretty good idea, as a trailer of the upcoming film has been released. You can check it out after the break! Continue reading “Trailer for Roland Emmerich's ANONYMOUS lands” →

God bless Sylvester Stallone. After all these years, he is still just as bad-ass as ever. He proved just that last year when his super-project, THE EXPENDABLES was released. Not only did the film have all the awesome action stars that we looked up to as kids, but it ended up being a giant hit in the box office, raking in over $270 million.

We all knew that a sequel was coming, but now we know exactly when. Continue reading “EXPENDABLES 2 gets a release date” →

MTV's "Teen Wolf" series gets a trailer

We’ve known that a television series version of teen classic TEEN WOLF has been brewing over at MTV for a pretty long time now, with little information known about the show. Would it be in the vein of the Michael J. Fox film, or would it be something completely different altogether?

That answer is very apparent from the show’s first trailer, and it looks like it might be a little more TWILIGHT than we expected. Continue reading “MTV's "Teen Wolf" series gets a trailer” →
