We wait patiently all year, and then four days in July pack in months worth of awesome. However, while we’ve come expect that level of crazy for the traditional pop culture stuff, the last few years have done the same for the poster world too....
New ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ Movie Sequel Gets ‘Ghost Protocol’ Screenwriters By Russ Fischer/July 29, 2013 9:30 am EST Briefly: Hollywood is the sort of place where a TV series that fails before it even hits the air can lead to a new movie. Paramount spent years developing a fourth Beverly Hills Cop movie — the series starring Eddie Murphy last hit screens with a third film in 1994 — but that effort eventually stalled out....
Omar Sy Joins ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ By Angie Han/March 4, 2013 9:04 am EST The filmmaker has not revealed which role Sy will play — all the better to keep fans chattering about the possibilities, I guess. One that’s cropped up frequently in the ensuing speculation is Bishop, a mutant who travels back in time from a dystopian future. The character wasn’t introduced in the comics until well after the Days of Future Past storyline concluded....

Possible ‘Robopocalypse’ Storyboards Show Robot Chase Sequence By Germain Lussier/Dec. 23, 2013 7:30 am EST In some alternate universe, Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi action film Robopocalypse is one of the films people are putting on their 2013 best-of lists. Way back in 2011, the film was supposed to open in July 2013. It was then bumped to 2014, and finally the film was delayed indefinitely. Sad for fans of Spielberg and sci-fi, but even with the delay there was some pre-production work done on the film....
POTD: Chris Evans Passes The (Human) Torch To Michael B. Jordan By Angie Han/April 1, 2014 7:23 am EST There’s been some debate over whether or not Michael B. Jordan is the right guy to play Johnny Storm in Josh Trank’s Fantastic Four, as there always is whenever a high-profile superhero role gets cast. But one guy who’s wholeheartedly in Jordan’s corner is the former Johnny Storm himself, Chris Evans....
Sean Penn To Become Action Franchise Star With ‘Prone Gunman’ By Angie Han/Nov. 13, 2012 7:00 am EST It seems like just about every aging actor is angling for their own action franchise nowadays, whether it’s the geriatric warriors of the Expendables and Red films, Liam Neeson in the Taken movies, Bruce Willis in the ongoing Die Hard saga, or Kevin Costner with the upcoming Jack Ryan reboot. But we probably wouldn’t have guessed that Sean Penn would be one of them....

Now Struzan has created a poster for Mob City, the new TNT show from Darabont which stars Jon Bernthal, Ed Burns and Milo Ventimiglia in a 1940s tale of the mob’s incursion into LA....
Sequel Bits: No Taking In ‘Taken 3,’ Plus Phil Tippett And ‘Transformers 4’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 4, 2014 2:30 pm EST Neeson didn’t give up any more details, perhaps having been well-conditioned by the Christopher Nolan PR machine. Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen scripted the film, and we know that Maggie Grace, playing Neeson’s daughter, will also be back for a third turn. Kamen had actually explained this “no taking” policy for the third film back in 2012: “We’ve taken everyone we can take — it’s going to go in another direction....

That’s nothing new for the director, but with him out shooting more film more often, and doing so in easy range of photographers, we’re getting to see more of his process than ever....
Steven Spielberg Will Produce A ‘Grapes Of Wrath’ Remake By Germain Lussier/July 3, 2013 10:00 am EST The novel’s 75th anniversary is coming up next year, and Hollywood has once again made The Grapes of Wrath a hot property.

There’s Going To Be A ‘Green Acres’ Movie By Russ Fischer/May 2, 2014 3:45 pm EST My first thought was to wonder whether or not Green Acres really means anything to people now. People over 30 or 35 know the show, if only from Nick at Nite reruns, but it probably isn’t anyone’s favorite. Kids getting into movies now might not even know what Sam Jackson’s line in Pulp Fiction is all about....
