Roy Scheider, R.I.P.
Just want to post a quick note in honor of the (now) late, great Roy Scheider, star of one of our favorite films of all time, Jaws. Roy passed away on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. No cause of death was released, but the actor had been suffering [...]
Diary Of The Dead Rides The Third Rail?
This seems a bit odd. The Weinstein Company have gone ahead and created a third distribution arm of their company called Third Rail Releasing, which is in addition to the regular Weinstein name as well as their genre-themed arm Dimension Films. Ok, that’s not so strange. What I found odd is that the first film [...]
Quantum Of Solace Poster Sans Title
Is it a bit telling that they’re not putting the title on the first teaser poster for the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace? Click the picture to embiggen.
Michael Cera Is Revolting
He sure is. Look at that picture. Seriously, it’ll be fun over the next year or two to see which Superbad star — Michael Cera, Jonah Hill or Christopher Mintz-Plasse — becomes a bigger comedy superstar. My personal guess is that it’ll be a three-way tie.
Michael Cera, however, has his next big project lined up, [...]
Who’s Older Than Clint Eastwood?
If you said Warner Bros. studios, you’d be right. Clint Eastwood, the legendary actor/director turns 77 this year, but Warner Bros. is celebrating it’s 85th year in the business. To celebrate, they’re re-issuing all new editions of several of their classic films, but they’ve also produced a five-hour documentary on their history called You Must [...]
Nu Image: Bringing Back The ’80s?
Here’s a lineup of upcoming films from Nu Image, which also was one of the companies behind Rambo:
1) Righteous Kill starring Robert De Niro and Al Pacino
2) The Code with Morgan Freeman and Antonio Banderas
3) Direct Contact starring Dolph Lundgren
4) Ninja
5) Conan the Barbarian remake
Part of me misses the low-budget, cheesy action pictures that used [...]
Wes Craven To Kill Archie Andrews?
Here’s a description of 25/8, the next horror flick from Wes Craven, courtesy of Bloody Disgusting:
a notorious serial slayer will return to the sleepy community of Riverdale to finish off the seven children born on the night he purportedly died. But is the slayer really dead, or is he still at large? Or has the [...]
McG Not Down With The Girly Men
McG, the director of the unwieldly-named, upcoming Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins gave an interview to something called the 213 in which they asked him who he wants to play the Terminator now that Arnold is busy not-fixing California’s budget problems. Most other sites are all hot to hop the part where McG says he [...]
Cate Blanchett Lives By The Sword
A sword is an unusual weapon for Cate Blanchett to hold Harrison Ford at bay with in this pic from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. She also has an unusual hairdo. With those cropped black bangs, she’s either playing a Russian torturer or a really pissed of Bettie Page. Click the [...]
Some Great Fan Videos
The words “great” and “fan videos” don’t often go together, but sometimes they do. There’s three pretty cool ones floating around the internets recently. You’ve probably seen one. You’ve probably seen two. But all three? Ok, maybe. If not, these are actually fun:
1) This is a little depressing because it’s the Dark Knight trailer, but [...]
