My thoughts and stuff…
THE TOWN is probably one of my most anticipated upcoming films, both off its incredible star power and Ben Affleck’s direction. Crime dramas are easily my favorite genre, and THE TOWN gives me a DEPARTED vibe in all the best ways.
This new poster is exciting, as it showcases one of the most interesting aspects to the trailer – the masked robbers. Click the jump to check out the poster in its full nun-tastic glory. Continue reading “One new poster for THE TOWN is better than nun”
Sly Stallone, you know how to turn films into franchises better than anyone else. That’s why it comes to no surprise that he has a sequel for THE EXPENDABLES already in his noggin. This one makes a lot of sense and is rather obvious, but even Stallone knows that it all depends on how the film performs.
Check out what he had to say after the break! Continue reading “Sly Stallone already thinking about EXPENDABLES sequel”
THE AVENGERS is probably the biggest film event of the year (well, of 2012). It truly is the definition of event cinema, and is the culmination of a lot of hard work by a lot of filmmakers. It’s almost hard to believe that it is really happening, especially to a Marvel fanatic like myself.
Now it feels even more real, as the film now has a start date. Continue reading “THE AVENGERS now has a start date”
We’ve known about the return of MAD MAX for a good while now, although they’ve done a pretty good job at keeping any significant details under wraps. We know that Tom Hardy will be taking over the titular role of Max, and that the film will be shot in 3D.
Now we’ve received word that Riley Keough, granddaughter of Elvis Presley, has joined the film. Continue reading “Riley Keough joins MAD MAX: FURY ROAD”
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!
Check out the episode, after the jump! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 21: Keepin' It Classy (Guest – James McCormick of Criterion Cast)”
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”
