My thoughts and stuff…
A couple of weeks ago, reports came out confirming Leonardo DiCaprio’s involvement in Clint Eastwood’s biopic of J. Edgar Hoover. Not only was this good news because the film had been slowly chugging along and now would be fast-tracked, but also because Leo would be amazing in the role (as always). Leo isn’t afraid to talk a bit about the project and a recent press conference for INCEPTION.

SCREAM 4 is finally happening after many years of fan anticipation, and just as many years of writing fan-fiction anonymously on horror movie message boards (don’t tell, please). The cast had been in ink for a while, but now only days before filming has begun, we are hearing that Lake Bell has officially dropped out of filming. Continue reading “SCREAM 4 scares away Lake Bell”
Every so often, an Anime series or movie comes along that not only steals my heart, but proves itself to be an incredible time vampire. Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 and PRINCESS MONONOKE instantly come to mind when I think of quality material, but there is one other that never ceases to amaze me every time I see it. AKIRA is an astounding film that reached great successes worldwide, and been a precedent for quality anime.
The ball has been rolling on a live-action adaptation for a while, but now we know it is really rolling as they have picked up a screenwriter to put it in ink. Continue reading “Live action AKIRA picks up a writer”
A couple of months ago we reported that THE NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET director Samuel Bayer was interested in bringing Garth Ennis’ THE BOYS to the big screen. After that reports of the project faded away, and nothing was left but a memory. News is now surfacing that Sony might have a different director in mind, one you would never expect. No seriously, you would never expect him… seriously. Continue reading “Adam McKay to direct THE BOYS?”
It’s no secret that I’m a “Gleek,” (although I would never call myself that normally) and I tuned in for every episode of Glee, and was always anxious for my next fix. The show really caught my eye when I realized how well they blend the more dramatic aspects of the show with some really absurd comedy. Now our Glee need (Gleed?) could become a little overwhelmed as news is coming out that the cast is contracted for three films based on the series. Continue reading “Fox has "Glee" actors contracted for three films”
Although SHREK FOREVER AFTER is still showing at many theaters, DreamWorks is already gearing up for the release of PUSS IN BOOTS that is set to be premiere next November. The website also surprisingly introduces a new character and has some plot information. Although it seems really early for this site, it is interesting to see the direction the film will take. Continue reading “Official website for PUSS IN BOOTS is up”
Pixar has been known for not only being one of the most creative studios still working today, but has continually put out high quality films. The scope of their success is incredible, and they are bringing their filmography full circle with the second sequel to TOY STORY. The release of TOY STORY 3 proves that their reach transcends generations, since it appeals to kids and adults who were kids when the original was released.
You can hit the break to check out the episode and its synopsis! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 14: 15 Years of Pixar”
A couple of months ago we caught wind of some speculation saying that Leonardo DiCaprio might be portraying J. Edgar Hoover in Clint Eastwood’s still-untitled biopic of the first Director of the FBI. Yet, after that, news about the project virtually stopped altogether, leaving us anxious and curious for more.
Now it’s finally official, DiCaprio has accepted the role, which should set this project in high gear. Continue reading “Leonardo DiCaprio will be J. Edgar Hoover”
X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is quickly shaping up to be a really interesting, and possibly really great, project. The casting, such as James McAvoy playing a young Professor X are easy casting announcements to get behind. Although this casting announcement isn’t a big name, he will play one of my favorite X-Men who is often underutilized in the stories of today. Continue reading “Beast will be played by Benjamin Walker in X-MEN: FIRST CLASS”
It was just a couple weeks ago when we found out that the new LOGAN’S RUN film was still on track, and was being shot and concieved for 3D. Aside from that and the fact that Carl Erik Rinsch, protege of Ridley Scott was most likely to direct, not too much else was known about the upcoming feature. Now they have hired a very fitting screenwriter to pen the film, proving once again that a lot of care is going into making this film. Continue reading “Alex Garland set to pen the new LOGAN'S RUN”
