Jason Statham interview: Safe, Expendables 2, Crank, Stallone and his prolific career

20 April 2012 2:18 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Ahead of the release Safe, we got the chance to chat to Jason Statham about Expendables 2, action franchises, and his ferocious productivity…

“Never meet your heroes” is a commonly used maxim. It’s certainly one that plays on your mind when you’re in the fortunate position to meet and interview one of your favourite action stars.

So bear in mind that, when it comes to Jason Statham, I’ve written more about the man’s work and career than most people write for their final year degree thesis. For me, he’s already a legend.

It’s a long running in-joke here at Den of Geek that any article written about The Stath is always met with a stock supply of comments, so much so that we’ve even taken to supplying some cut and paste options to save time. We’ve championed Statham for many years and will no doubt continue to, »

About The Wicker Tree

Based on Hardy's acclaimed 2006 novel "Cowboys for Christ," The Wicker Tree tells the story of Texas-based singer Beth Boothby (newcomer Brittania Nicol) and her friend Steve Thomson (Henry Garrett, "The Bill," "Skins"), two born-again Christians who come to Scotland to spread the gospel. When their initial efforts are met with disdain and disinterest, they find comfort in an invitation to sing in Tressock, the border fiefdom owned by Sir Lachlan Morrison (Graham McTavish, Rambo, the upcoming The Hobbit films).

Night Gallery: Season 3 DVD Available Now

The third and final season (1972–73) of Rod Serling’s underrated series finally comes to DVD. Season 3 (with episodes downsized to half an hour) is generally considered inferior to the first two years, but it still contains several classic episodes. Best of all, Jim Benson and Scott Skelton, co-authors of Rod Serling’s Night Gallery: An After-Hours Tour, helped put together a “lost” episode featuring four segments that were heavily altered for syndication. Guest stars this season include Mickey Rooney, Vincent Price, Burgess Meredith and gorgeous Joanna Pettet (The Evil).

Jones Hints At Hollywood Blockbuster Role

21 March 2012 9:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

British actor Vinnie Jones is set to star alongside fellow Hollywood hardmen Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone in an upcoming blockbuster.

The action stars have signed on for The Tomb, in which Stallone plays an engineer who is framed and incarcerated in a prison he designed. Schwarzenegger plays an inmate who helps his escape bid.

Casting details are currently scant, but Jones has confirmed he is seeking to join the pair in the movie.

And if he lands the role, former soccer ace Jones will be keeping a watchful eye on the veteran Rambo and Terminator stars.

The Snatch star tells The Sun, "I might have a film coming up with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sly Stallone. Those boys are knocking on a bit (getting older). At least I'll be prepared if the action scenes get a bit too heavy for them." »

The Wicker Tree to Burn on DVD and Blu-ray April 24th

15 March 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | 28 Days Later Analysis | See recent 28 Days Later Analysis news »

The Wicker Tree is due to hit shelves April 24th on DVD and Blu-ray. This movie is a follow-up of sorts to the 1973 cult classic The Wicker Man and Anchor Bay is distributing.

Christopher Lee reprises his role as the mysterious Lord Summerisle in a cameo to bridge the two films, and original director/writer Robin Hardy could not be any happier. This visionary also reunites with producer Peter Snell to create a new tale for audiences to enjoy.

Based on Hardy’s acclaimed 2006 novel “Cowboys for Christ,” The Wicker Tree tells the story of Texas-based singer Beth Boothby (newcomer Brittania Nicol) and her friend Steve Thomson (Henry Garrett, “The Bill,” “Skins”), two born-again Christians who come to Scotland to spread their gospel.

Jesus Battling Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger?

20 February 2012 2:46 PM, PST | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »

"Jesus Christ Himself Will Face Off Against Rambo And The Terminator In The Tomb," blasts a Cinema Blend headline about the upcoming pairing of 1980s all-brawn, no-brain movie heroes Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. If only. Imagine Jesus battling an aged Rambo/Rocky and the former governor of California. What kinds of weapons would be used? Love and compassion? A-bombs and hand grenades? And who would come out on top? Think of the ideological possibilities. Well, unfortunately, it turns out that Mikael Håfström's The Tomb in all likelihood won't be any more intellectually challenging or stimulating than, say, Cobra or Conan the Destroyer. In the actioner (info via JoBlo.com), Stallone and Schwarzenegger will play two inmates bent on escaping from a high-security prison (built by the wrongfully imprisoned Stallone himself) overseen by none other than The Passion of the Christ's Jim Caviezel (photo), whose movie career has »
