Brittany Murphy Tweets From Peter Facinelli, Paris Hilton And Others In Another Twitter-Wood Early Edition

21 December 2009 2:00 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Earlier today, we brought you an early edition of Twitter-Wood packed chock-full of celebrity praise for James Cameron's sci-fi epic, "Avatar." It's a much more tragic set of circumstances that brings me back to you with another Twitter-Wood early edition.

"Clueless" star Brittany Murphy left us suddenly over the weekend, the victim of a heart attack at the too-young age of 32. The breaking news resulted in an outpouring of grief and sympathy for Murphy's family from around the celebrity Twittersphere. I'll let the people who knew her take it from here...

@ParisHilton So sad to hear about Brittany Murphy, such a tragedy. She was such a beautiful, funny and sweet girl. My heart goes out to her family.

-Paris Hilton, Actress ("The Hottie and the Nottie," "House of Wax")

@peterfacinelli Brittany Murphy... U were Bold, Brave, and Beautiful. Thank you 4 being the free spirit u were, and always »

The Decade’s Film: 2005-2009

21 December 2009 7:33 AM, PST | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

It had been a successful decade for the comic book movie, with that trend continuing into the latter half of the decade. Just as looked like the public demand for irradiated heroes looked to be diminishing, with lacklustre showings from the likes of Spider-Man 3 and Fantastic Four, out came Iron Man. Coupled with a brilliant script and an excellent performance from Robert Downey Jr as the titular zillionaire industrialist/playboy/freedom fighter/all-round genius, the end result was something truly special. Downey’s career was also revitalised, earning him a role in Tropic Thunder (which would earn him an Oscar nomination). Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk took a similar approach, this time giving Edward Norton of Fight Club fame a shot at getting under the skin of the green goliath.  They set a tough act to follow, but followed they were by one Christopher Nolan.

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Three

17 December 2009 11:42 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »

Dinner for Schmucks

Opens: July 23rd 2010

Cast: Steve Carell, Paul Rudd, Zach Galifianakis, Bruce Greenwood, David Walliams

Director: Jay Roach

Summary: A renowned publisher encourages his friends to invite the most pathetic guests possible for their weekly dinner party. Just as they find the most pathetic man yet, the host is injured and ends up trapped with the man all night long.

Analysis: A remake of director Francis Veber's 1998 César award-winning "Le Diner des cons", 'Schmucks' is one of the highest profile comedies of next year with one of the strongest casts for the genre in recent memory. It also marks the return of "Austin Powers" and "Meet the Parents" helmer Jay Roach who has produced several films in recent years but hasn't directed since 2004's "Meet the Fockers".

The question now lies not in the performers or director but the material itself and whether a Gallic comedy can »

Poster, details for Adam Green's Frozen

17 December 2009 2:37 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

A poster for Hatchet director Adam Green's Frozen has been making the rounds, and now Fango has a look at the unmarked image. The filmmakers sent over the artwork last night fresh off of their debut at the recent Butt-Numb-a-Thon in Austin. For those just getting in on the action, Cody Blue Snider posted three exclusive blogs from the set of the film (read 'em here: One, Two, Three) and you can get some of Kane Hodder's thoughts on the film right here.

See the poster and details below. Frozen opens February 5, 2010 from Anchor Bay.

A typical day on the slopes turns into a chilling nightmare for three snowboarders when they get stranded on the chairlift before their last run. As the ski patrol switches off the night lights, they realize with growing panic that they’ve been left behind dangling high off the ground with no way down. »

This List of 'Most Dangerous Stunts Done Without Stunt Doubles' Needs Your Help

8 December 2009 4:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

PopCrunch just put up a compilation of the 13 Most Dangerous Movie Stunts Done Without Stunt Doubles and, well, it's missing a few must-haves for such a topic. But before getting to who/what didn't make the cut, let's look at those who did: Jason Statham's helmet-less bike ride wearing a hospital gown in Crank? Sylvester Stallone in Rambo and Harrison Ford in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull simply because they were old during filming? Christian Bale losing 63 pounds for The Machinist? Matt Damon filming a "scene in the water" in one of the Bourne films? I find few of those qualifying of a Most Dangerous label.

Now PC's list isn't always so nebulous. Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd all warrant being on such a list, but unfortunately they're inclusion only serves to highlight how lacking the rest of the roster is; not to mention their »

8 December 2009 4:51 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend a very special charity evening in aid of the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation. It took place, as you might have guessed at the legendary Pinewood Studios just outside London near Windsor. The event was in aid of the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation, a charity that helps people with disabilities to increase independence and improve life skills.

The event was named the Pinewood Legends evening for a reason. Invited along as guests of the Foundation were:

Roy Button OBE (Senior Vice President & MD of Warner Bros.) Paul Weston (Stunts, Daylight, Superman I, II, III) Terence Clegg (Producer, Out of Africa, A Clock Work Orange) Mike Moran (Movie music score composer) Joss Williams (Special Effects Supervisor on Green Zone, Hell Boy 2, Rambo, The Bourne Ultimatum) Anthony Waye (Producer, Casino Royale) Saeed Jaffrey (Actor, Gandhi) Paul Hitchcock (Producers, Mission Impossible, Firefox)

Ninja Assassin Review

25 November 2009 9:06 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Short Version: Ninja Assassin has many flaws; however, the ninjas are not one of them. All of the ninja action in this film is awesome, and for fans of the genre that’s probably enough.

Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews Ninja Assassin

Ninja Assassin is the first action movie this Fall that delivers on what it promises: Lots of ninja action.

I’m a sucker for a good ninja fight, no matter how choreographed it is. The silent-but-deadly ninja was a huge part of the 80’s action movie sub-culture; since I grew up in the 80’s, I have seen every one that I can get my hands on (yes that includes American Ninja, I, II, III, IV And V).  Ninjas doing what they do best (being sneaky) have slowly crept into popular culture over time. Mythbusters did an entire episode on ninja myth and lore and the website AskANinja. »

Ask Him Again, His Soul is Still Dancing. 15 minutes with Werner Herzog.

19 November 2009 11:53 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »

One of the pleasures of going to film festivals are the Q&A sessions afterwards.  If you read humour pieces regarding this aspect of the festival experience, they are often snarky little pieces about the awful questions fielded by audience members, or folks trying to pass the director along a screenplay or simply blubbering "I love all your movies" in the starstruck awe.  Yes, those things happen (often), but with good moderation from the programmer/host and an exceptional speaker, you could end up with something like this quarter hour with German director Werner Herzog.   The second of two public screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival went down like gangbusters at the Elgin Theatre and most of the satisfied, quite entertained, audience stuck around to talk shop.  Moderated by programmer Colin Geddes and with Herzog in high form - while most would say that Roger Ebert is 'fighting cancer, »

New ‘Rambo’ Film Gives Illegal Aliens A Pass, Targets Evil Canadians Instead

16 November 2009 3:01 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

A couple of months ago we reported that the plot for the upcoming Rambo sequel  had taken on a sci-fi angle involving John Rambo hunting space aliens in the Pacific Northwest. The reaction here at Fsr was decidedly mixed with some of us thinking the idea was beyond ridiculous and others popping immediate chemically-enhanced boners. (Hi Fure!) Well you can forget we ever mentioned it in the first place. Sylvester Stallone has apparently dropped a line to Craig Zablo over at the Stallone Zone and he updated the direction Rambo V will be taking. He isn't abandoning the plot-line all together, but he's apparently moving it away from the Rambo franchise and into a separate stand-alone film. I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where »

No beast for Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo V'

15 November 2009 7:03 PM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »

Sylvester Stallone seems to be unable to make up his mind where "Rambo V" should be heading. First, he was supposed to cross the U.S.-Mexican border, and then, he was supposed to hunt down a beast.

Not anymore. In fact, it looks like the fifth installment in the "Rambo" series is now going back to Mexico. As we learned earlier this year, the original idea had our hero cross the border to rescue a kidnapped girl.

In September, however, it was announced that Rambo and his partner Beau Brady would be heading to the Arctic Circle to track down a ruthless beast killing members of a research facility. »

Sylvester Stallone drops sci-fi angle for ‘Rambo V’

14 November 2009 12:53 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Looks like Sylvester Stallone has terminated plans to take Rambo into science fiction.

The 63-year-old revealed this past summer that the next Rambo movie, A Savage Hunt, would feature John Rambo leading a squad into a secret military base to shut down a man-beast mutant “supersoldier” project gone wrong.

The sci-fi plot was based on the novel Hunter by James Byron Higgins. Stallone owns the rights to the book and now plans to use it as source material for another project.

“I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. ‘Rambo’ himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished. There will be blood,” Stallone wrote in an email.

Rambo heading to Mexico was the first rumored story for the film.

'Rambo' Follow-Up Changes Direction, Moves Away From 'Feral Beast' Sci-Fi Angle

13 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Word emerged at the end of the summer that Sylvester Stallone was once again preparing to step into the shoes of John Rambo, a follow-up to his 2008 revival in "Rambo." While it's hard to find fault with the reasoning behind bringing Rambo back again -- he does, in fact, kick a large amount of ass -- the premise of this sequel, set at the time to start shooting in the spring of 2010, left myself and many other fans confused.

"Rambo V: The Savage Hunt," as originally revealed by Stallone in early September, would pit the aging Vietnam veteran against a "feral beast... [an] amalgamation of fury and intelligence and pure, unadulterated rage," the product of a failed government experiment. So basically... "Predator," but with a mutated super-soldier in place of an alien warrior. Not exactly the most "Rambo"-esque plotline. I, for one, was not pleased.

It's hard to say exactly »
