My thoughts and stuff…
I’ll be the first to say that the SAW series has been pretty awful after the second incarnation. The first was pretty amazing though, and really brought something to the table. This summer’s PARANORMAL ACTIVITY made a very similar splash onto the genre, and will help evolve the genre too. So what would happen if the two teams united?

Last month I reported that Lionsgate had put in the highest bid for the rights to the TERMINATOR franchise. At the time, it seemed like it would end up being a sure thing and Lionsgate would be the new owner of the franchise. Sony made an unexpected move though, and put in a last minute bid. Continue reading “TERMINATOR rights might go to Sony”
UPDATE: “Logan Lerman is not in talks to play Peter Parker in the “Spider-Man” reboot. Both Columbia Pictures and the actor’s camp have denied that Lerman, who stars as the title character in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief,” is the lead candidate for job.”

At this point, everyone knows about the big SPIDER-MAN reboot that will star a high school aged Peter Parker. At first, nobody was sure what to think of a SPIDER-MAN reboot, but that was before Marc Webb was hired to direct the film. Now many people are much more excited about the possibilities of the project. Now all that’s left is casting the Web-Head, and apparently the studio has talked to young Logan Lerman about the part.
Check out what he had to say after the jump! Continue reading “UPDATE: Logan Lerman WILL NOT be SPIDER-MAN”
FIRST AVENGER: CAPTAIN AMERICA is one of the most exciting film projects that I’ve ever heard of. I’m so excited to see what the film’s director, Joe Johnston, does with the film version of one of my favorite superheroes. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard a single bit of casting aside from rumors. But in a recent interview, Joe Johnston gave us a little insight about when they might have their Captain America chosen.
Check out what he said, after the jump! Continue reading “CAPTAIN AMERICA will soon be cast”
It makes sense that Columbia Pictures would want to make an adaptation of Dan Brown’s “The Lost Symbol” after the astronomical financial successes that THE DA VINCI CODE and ANGELS & DEMONS had. In fact, they got the film rights for the book months before it was even released. Now they are finally stepping up to the plate, as they’ve hired a screenwriter to handle the surefire hit. Continue reading “Dan Brown's THE LOST SYMBOL has found its screenwriter”
It’s no secret that Quentin Tarantino has a major interest in revisiting the KILL BILL universe. Rumors have sent KILL BILL fans into such a craze of excitement that TWILIGHT fans would probably call them losers. It makes sense, though, because the first two films were fantastic, and I can only imagine the third would hold up. Daryl Hannah isn’t helping the case, as she is making some pretty big claims.

MACGRUBER is, surprisingly enough, an anxiously awaited film from the writers of “SNL.” Never would I have thought that the completely unfunny skit could be turned into a movie that looks so funny. Luckily, the red band trailer sold a lot of people on the film with its hilarious and vulgar content. There’s only one problem though, Lee Zlotoff – creator of the skit’s source material MACGYVER – isn’t laughing. Continue reading “MACGYVER vs. MACGRUBER”
The neverending onslaught of KICK-ASS media is still in full force, and this might just be the best thing we’ve gotten. Although the original red-band trailer was extremely awesome, this one lets us in on the story a little bit more. I have to admit, the story was never really what had me sold on this film – until now, that is.
It seems that they are putting a lot of characterization into the film while obviously not letting the humor go sour. It is also extremely odd, yet always funny, hearing Hit-Girl say some of the extremely profane things that come out of her mouth.
You can check out the definitely NSFW trailer after the jump! Continue reading “New KICK-ASS red band international trailer”
It is no secret that I’m obsessed with the surprisingly amazing Nickelodeon cartoon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.” I resisted watching the series for a very long time, but when I did, I was instantly hooked. The scope of the series is so big, and I think should transition to a film trilogy extremely well. Once M. Night Shyamalan was attached as director, I knew this film would end up being one of my most anticipated films of the year.
To help build even more momentum behind this already surefire hit film Shyamalan talked to the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex blog about what interested him in the film. Continue reading “M. Night Shyamalan discusses THE LAST AIRBENDER”
THE WOLFMAN is hitting theaters soon with a surprisingly high amount of buzz behind it. The other day we reported that Sam Worthington might be taking up the mantle of Dracula in DRACULA: YEAR ZERO. Now Universal wants to revisit another old favorite – FRANKENSTEIN. Continue reading “Universal is making a superhero FRANKENSTEIN film”
