My thoughts and stuff…
To me, one of the biggest film shocks of 2008 was when Nick Fury showed up after the credits of IRON MAN. I was so excited after seeing that scene that I actually got a speeding ticket on my way home from the theater. That scene was the start of something much bigger for Sam Jackson and his version of Nick Fury, including no less than a nine picture deal with Marvel to reprise Nick Fury in future movies.

BURIED just premiered at Sundance the other day to rave reviews (in fact, you can see ours HERE). I don’t know too much about the film since I haven’t seen it yet, but I think it is better that way. I’d much rather be surprised when I do.
Luckily, Lionsgate has picked the film up for distribution, so it will be heading our way in no time. Continue reading “Lionsgate will distribute Sundance 2010's BURIED”
Harvey Weinstein is known for being very outspoken, and he won’t censor himself for anybody. Oftentimes this can be a hilarious trait, but at the expense of others. This is certainly one of those times when Weinstein did something pretty outlandish that is also extremely funny.
Back in 1988, Weinstein wrote a letter to Errol Morris, who directed the documentary THE THIN BLUE LINE, which went on to become a critical hit. Harvey felt that Morris was not selling the film correctly, and called him out on it. Whether or not you think Harvey was right in doing this, I’m still tickled.

There has been talk of a GREMLINS 3 for a very long time now, much to the chagrin of fans. Many fans have claimed that they would only be interested in the film if Joe Dante (director of the first two GREMLINS films) returned, and feelings were otherwise extremely mixed.
Now the rumor is that GREMLINS will be back, and taking the jump into the 3rd dimension. Continue reading “GREMLINS to terrorize your town in 3D?”
I’m typically not a big fan of sci-fi movies, but this past year has changed my mind on that a little bit. So many good sci-fi movies were released in 2009, and it makes me wonder if my tastes have changed. Sony has a new sci-fi flick on the way, and hopefully this one will surprise me like the others did.
Sony is planning on making a feature adaptation of “The Electric Church,” a sci-fi novel by Jeff Somers. As of right now the film is called the AVERY CATES PROJECT, based off the name of the main character of the novel. The book is supposed to be very action-packed.

Last Monday I got to interview the main cast members of PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE LIGHTNING THIEF about their upcoming movie. I was lucky enough to sit down with Logan Lerman (Percy Jackson), Brandon T. Jackson (Grover Underwood), Alexandra Daddario (Annabeth Chase), and Jake Abel (Luke Castallen). I have to say, this cast has wonderful chemistry with each other. You can see it in the movie, but you can really see it in real life. They were all wonderful and are extremely talented actors.
The interview was conducted with myself and John P. Meyer of Pegasus News. You can check out the highlights from the interview and some thoughts on footage they showed us after the jump!

When the second NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM went on to gross over $400 million in box office revenues, it basically guaranteed that there would be another sequel. Despite the fact that reviews for the second film were extremely mixed, people still flocked to the theaters to see it. Now thanks to Thomas Lennon, we know that the third film is most likely on its way.
Check out what he had to say about the potential project after the jump! Continue reading “NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 3 planned?”
HOT TUB TIME MACHINE should not look good at all, but it surprisingly does. Even the green band trailer had me cracking up, but this new red band trailer is killer. It gives you a better idea as to what to expect from the movie. This movie could have just as easily been an unfunny PG-13 movie, but luckily for us they went for the R-rating.

“The Walking Dead” is one of my favorite comics; even when I can’t afford any comics I have to find a couple dollars to pick this one up. The idea behind the comic is that it would be a long-running zombie story, just like reality would be. Reality doesn’t just end after two hours like movies do, and it certainly doesn’t end when the main character dies. The writer of the comic, Robert Kirkman, has proved time and time again that no one is safe by killing off many major characters.
We told you a while back that Frank Darabont had expressed interest in adapting the comic to a series. Now it’s official, and AMC has picked up that series. Continue reading “AMC will make "The Walking Dead"”
The article has been updated with further information since its first publishing.
Peter Dinklage is a talented actor who has wowed us repeatedly with outstanding performances, like in THE STATION AGENT. Although Dinklage isn’t well-known for playing medieval-style characters, he did appear in THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN as Trumpkin. But now it looks like he is returning to that setting, and will be one of THE KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM.
You can check out the official synopsis for the film after the jump! Continue reading “Peter Dinklage will be one of THE KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM”
