News, Etc.
The Wachowskis’ Ninja Rain
I’m either experiencing a total brain fart or I’ve just never plain heard of this before. Did you know that Larry and Andy Wachowski are already planning another film? I don’t think I’ve heard that piece of news before, but what the hell do I know.
The film is called Ninja Assassin and I would assume [...]
Can’t Keep A Good Crystal Skull Down
A few days ago there was a picture leaked of one of the crystal skulls from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull that came down rapidly. (Thus we didn’t post about it.) The biggest thing about the skull was that it looked extraterrestrial in design, so there’s some thoughts that there’s an [...]
Michael Bay: Scab?
This is a good one. In an interview with Rotten Tomatoes, Michael Bay said he’s been busy writing either the full script or at least just an outline of Transformers 2 despite there being a Writers Guild strike going on. Bay said:
“We had to because I want to make my date. I’m not going to [...]
Hey, That’s Wolverine!
The question is, though, is that actually Hugh Jackman posing for a picture between takes of X-Men Origins: Wolverine or a wax statue version of him? He looks a little stiff is all we’re saying. Click here to embiggen the picture.
Plus, we guess the black leather jacket is to tie him in visually to the [...]
When Will Met Heidi…
Just Jared has all the pictures from Sports Illustrated’s layout featuring bikini bunny Heidi Klum and goofball Will Ferrell, who’s in full Jackie Moon phase, which is the character he plays in Semi-Pro. I only grabbed one picture, so head over to Jared’s place for the rest. There’s 21 total.
Lawsuits! Lawsuits! Lawsuits!
Did the lull in production during the Writers strike drive people to boredom that they had to look for lawsuits to entertain themselves? It seems like it’s an overly litigious week. Here’s the rundown:
1) Screenwriter Benedict Fitzgerald is suing Mel Gibson over his small writing fee on The Passion of the Christ that Benedict claims [...]
Abomination: The Brown Fury
This picture of the Abomination from the Incredible Hulk toy line (via CHUD) has already been around the sites, but we’re throwing it up today anyway because we still can’t get over how crazy it looks. For those not familiar with the comic book version of the character, the Abomination is green because he was [...]
Mutant Fish To Leap Off Screen And Bite Your Face Off
That’s right, Dimension Films’ remake of the 1978 horror classic, Piranha, is going to be released in 3-D when it hits theaters July 24, 2009. Or, it could be 2010 knowing the way Weinsteins hold back releases. Hey, 2010? Isn’t that the year we make contact?
The new film is going to be directed by Alexandre [...]
Ellen Page Can Go To Hell
Yeah, Ellen Page is set to be the lead in Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror movie Drag Me to Hell. With a title like that, it would seem that Bruce Campbell would be the perfect lead, but we’re getting Page instead. I’m just thrilled to hell that Sam’s doing another horror flick after all those dang [...]
New Star Wars Movie In Theaters
George Lucas said there would never be another Star Wars feature film in theaters, but he’s suddenly reversed himself. Sort of. This new Star Wars “film” is actually a couple episodes of his upcoming Clone Wars animated TV series smushed together to form a “feature.” So, you can either watch this in one lump — [...]
