Awesome Art We've Found Around The Net: Apocalypse Now, The Evil Dead, The Iron Giant, King Kong
6 April 2013 12:45 AM, PDT
Some cliche somewhere said that 'a picture is worth a thousand words.' This has proven to be the case for me and especially when it comes to fan art. I have always sought out great fan art and have wanted to share it with as many people as possible. "Awesome Artwork We've Found Around The Net" is the outlet for that passion. In this column I will showcase the kick-ass artwork of some great artists, with the hopes that these artists get the attention they deserve. That's the aim, if »

Bradley Cooper takes Jude Law's place in Jane Got A Gun
5 April 2013 3:30 PM, PDT
What started out as a well intention idea has now quickly become kind of a mess. Natalie Portman just wanted to make a western with a female at the heart. She thought everything was going good with Lynne Ramsay (We Need To Talk About Kevin) at the helm, Joel Edgerton set to play the former flame, and Jude Law as her villain. Then the first day of shooting comes and Ramsay doesn't even show up, and the reason given is creative and contract problems. Apparently it's all gossip and slander at »

Check out concept art and a look at Billy Crudup as Ang Lee's Hulk
5 April 2013 2:52 PM, PDT
Concept artist Benton Jew has worked on a wide variety of films, and actually started work at George Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic. Since he had done work on every Hulk film except for The Avengers, Jew decided to share some old concept art as well as an interesting look at Billy Crudup as Bruce Banner/Hulk. Yes, this almost happened. At one time, Crudup was attached to play the green machine in Ang Lee's vision then dropped out because according to Jew he had reservations about »

Hugh Jackman wasn't so sure about returning as Wolverine to X-Men: Days of Future Past
5 April 2013 1:00 PM, PDT
Getting into character as Wolverine is a massive physical task for Hugh Jackman. However, he does look freaking amazing, and does true justice to Logan in about every single way. When Jackman first heard about the idea of going back to the character after filming The Wolverine, he wasn't so sure if he wanted to go back to the workout and diet: I must admit I was starting to see a life free of steamed chicken breasts. They told me the idea and, at the time, it was Matthew Vaughn »

Paul Reubens joins the cast of ABC's fairytale spinoff Once Upon a Time in Wonderland
5 April 2013 10:43 AM, PDT
ABC's hit fairytale series Once Upon A Time is getting a spin-off series set entirely in the realm of Wonderland. Up until now, I didn't write up anything about it but the addition of Pee Wee to the cast is too great to ignore. Whether you love or hate the show, there is not much else like it on network television. Sure, it can be a bit cheesy and the special effects aren't top notch, but since we don't have the Fables series that we should have, it will have to do. Deadline reports that »

A pair of new images from Elysium give us our first look at Alice Braga
5 April 2013 10:26 AM, PDT
Neill Blomkamp's Elysium is easily one of my most anticipated movies of the year, and I haven't seen a single moment of footage. This was the guy who brought us District 9, so his sophomore effort is going to be scrutinized like crazy. With a cast featuring Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Diego Luna, William Fichtner, and Alice Braga, how can you go wrong? Today we get our first look at two new images, one featuring Damon and the other our first shot of Alice Braga in the movie. »

Bryan Singer tweets our first look at the revised Beast from X-Men: Days of Future Past
5 April 2013 10:07 AM, PDT
Bryan Singer revealed another detail from X-men: Days Of Future Past today on his Twitter feed. This time he gave us our first look at the newly redesigned Beast. Previously played by Kelsey Grammar in X-men 3: The Last Stand and by Nicholas Hoult in X-men: First Class, Beast has been presented both as a very animal in appearance and somewhat human. This new version looks closer to the Last Stand take on the blue mutant. The tweet from Singer was accompanied by a quote: "Many a »

Guillermo Del Toro on the possibility of a future Pacific Rim/Godzilla crossover
5 April 2013 8:04 AM, PDT
Man-in-suit movies haven't been big box office draws in the United States since the 1960s. Even then they paled in comparison to the success of the genre in Asia. Godzilla was a big film here but nothing like it has been in Japan. The awful remake continued the drought of these types of movies which is set to end with the release of Pacific Rim. With Pacific Rim poised to be one of the biggest movies of the summer, director Guillermo Del Toro is obviously thinking long term with the »

Review: Simon Killer
5 April 2013 7:39 AM, PDT
This review originally ran as part of our Sundance 2012 coverage. Plot: Reeling from a bad breakup, a recent college grad, Simon (Brady Corbet) heads to Paris, where he hooks up with a prostitute (Mati Diop), who takes him in. From there, he gets lost in a sea of sex, drugs, and blackmail- all of which could have deadly consequences. Review: Simon Killer is a tough film to like, much less love. In a way, it's like a modern-day reworking of Last Tango In Paris, with director »

First clip from Iron Man 3 has Tony Stark giving a holiday greeting to The Mandarin
5 April 2013 6:43 AM, PDT
It's kind of fitting that our first clip from Iron Man 3 would be Robert Downey, Jr. as Tony Stark talking to the press. His interactions with the media are a staple to the character and consistent throughout the first two films. In many ways, Stark communicates everything about himself and Iron Man via cameras and microphones, especially since he doesn't hide his identity, which is a fairly rare thing in the comc book world. In the clip, Stark addresses The Mandarin (played by Ben Kingsley) »

Composer Hans Zimmer talks about his approach to scoring Man of Steel
5 April 2013 6:13 AM, PDT
Composer Hans Zimmer is easily one of the most influential and groundbreaking composers in Hollywood. His work on everything from Gladiator to Thelma And Louise to Driving Miss Daisy to The Rock to The Dark Knight to Pirates Of The Caribbean to Inception to...okay, I'll stop now. You get the idea. Zimmer has also paved the way for many of the big name composers working today, mentoring the likes of John Powell, Ramin Djawadi, Harry Gregson-Williams, Trevor Morris, and many »

First look at Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Ed Harris, and more in Joon-ho Bong's Snowpiercer

The sci-fi, post-apocalyptic thriller "revolves around a train traveling in an endless circle, filled with the remnants of humanity after a devastating war and glaciation. The temperature is -80 degrees outside, but inside is a microcosm of humanity with different political and social »

Twilight's Kellan Lutz cast as lead in Renny Harlin's Hercules 3D
5 April 2013 5:15 AM, PDT
The Renny Harlin directed Hercules 3D has now found its Hercules in Twilight and Immortals star Kellan Lutz. Best known for his role as Emmett Cullen in Stephenie Meyer's infamous series of films, the actor has also mostly been cast in roles that cash in on his physique more so than his acting chops. I will say, however, that he was quite good in the underrated Immortals, where he played Poseidon. Harlin is confident in Lutz, though, saying: "It takes more than a good »

New poster double feature: Oblivion and Cbgb
5 April 2013 4:20 AM, PDT
There's a couple of new posters out for two completely different films. First up there's a new IMAX poster for Oblivion that has a very lonely looking Tom Cruise looking off into the distance. Everything I've seen for Oblivion so far has a very sleek and clean look to it and this new poster is no different. I'm still not sold on the film but I am intrigued by the story and visuals so I'm sure I'll check it out at some point once it's released. Next there's a poster of Milan Akerman as »

Watch the opening tracking shot of Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond The Pines
5 April 2013 3:47 AM, PDT
A lot of buzz has been generated for the Ryan Gosling/Bradley Cooper starrer The Place Beyond The Pines from director Derek Cianfrance. Some compare it to an arthouse thriller, others a pulpy crime pic, but either way it's definitely got some heat. Our own review called it the best movie of 2013 so far, so there's that. I still have yet to see the film, as it's opened in limited release currently, but am looking forward to catching it when it hits my neck of the, er, pines. So, today we have »

More self-referential jokes from Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan in this new clip for Scary Movie 5
5 April 2013 3:03 AM, PDT
With a seven year gap between films four and five and the similiar parody A Haunted House just released not too long ago, I can't help but think this may be the last film we see in the Scary Movie franchise for a while. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking. These films usually have a reasonable budget so we could be seeing Scary Movie 6 through 37 until the day we die but I'm hoping that there will be such little interest in Scary Movie 5 that the franchise is finally put out of its misery. »

Luke Wilson and Vince Vaughn will appear in Anchorman: The Legend Continues and Nicole Kidman will make a "secret cameo"
5 April 2013 1:35 AM, PDT
Things are escalating quickly for Anchorman: The Legend Continues. THR is reporting that Nicole Kidman will have an uncredited cameo in the sequel and her role in the film is being kept a secret. Nicole Kidman hasn't done that many comedies (don't you dare bring up Just Go With It) but with a film like this it really isn't going to matter too much. Since her role is being kept under-wraps I wonder if Kidman's part will have her unrecognizable and over the top like Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder »

Review: Trance
4 April 2013 8:21 PM, PDT
Plot: An art gallery auctioneer, Simon (James McAvoy) becomes the inside man on an art-heist. After being hit on the head during the job, he forgets where he stashed the painting, and his partners, led by Franck (Vincent Cassel) take him to a hypnotherapist, Elizabeth (Rosario Dawson) who they hope can unlock his lost memories. Review: Trance is Danny Boyle having a good time. It won.t be confused for one of his top-tier films (like Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire or 28 Days Later), »

Cast This: Snake Plissken
4 April 2013 8:20 PM, PDT
This is territory that we visited three years ago, but now since new rumors have sparked concerning the role of Snake Plissken in the remake of Escape From New York, we wonder...who will you cast this time? A week ago, we got wind that Jason Statham and Tom Hardy were the front men to take over the role once held by Kurt Russell. Now I know that many of you would rather not recast this role. Well, I don't blame you. Russell just so excellently becomes this role and owns the shit out of »

Exclusive 1:1 Interview with Trance Director Danny Boyle!
4 April 2013 8:20 PM, PDT
Danny Boyle is arguably one of the most eclectic and exciting directors working today. Ever since his slick and stylish debut, Shallow Grave he has continued to challenge himself. While over the past years, he has garnered serious critical acclaim with 127 Hours and the Academy Award winning Slumdog Millionaire his films are oftentimes unforgettable. With his latest feature Trance, he has created an artful yet sexy modern day film noir that mixes illusion and art in a fascinating way. When I »
