Bobcat Goldthwait’s Next Film Is ‘Willow Creek,’ A Found-Footage Bigfoot Movie By Russ Fischer/Feb. 21, 2013 4:00 pm EST Even when his films aren’t fully successful, I really like what Bobcat Goldthwait is doing as a director. He’s making films that are funny and direct extensions of his own id, but that at their best channel more than simple anger and frustration. So what can we expect from his next film, Willow Creek, which is evidently a found-footage movie that centers around the existence (or lack thereof) of Bigfoot?...

Brett Ratner’s ‘Hercules’ Adds Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, Rufus Sewell And More By Germain Lussier/March 21, 2013 4:00 pm EST Dwayne Johnson has just pulled together a brand new “sand and sandal” gang. Ian McShane (Deadwood), Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Rufus Sewell (Dark City), John Hurt (Harry Potter) and Rebecca Ferguson are set to join the action superstar in Hercules, directed by Brett Ratner. It’s scheduled for a July 25, 2014 release....

Bryan Cranston And Elizabeth Olsen Enter Talks For ‘Godzilla’ By Angie Han/Feb. 6, 2013 4:16 pm EST Gareth Edwards’ Godzilla remake will be sending some of Hollywood’s best and brightest to get (potentially) crushed to death by a monster. Elizabeth Olsen and Bryan Cranston are looking to join Aaron Taylor-Johnson in the sci-fi tentpole for Warner Bros. and Legendary. There is one little detail standing in the way right now, however — none of the three deals can be finalized until Frank Darabont finishes his rewrite of the script....

Christoph Waltz Eyed For ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean 5’ As More Plot Details Revealed By Angie Han/Dec. 2, 2013 11:00 am EST Since his breakout turn in 2009’s Inglourious Basterds, Christoph Waltz has become one of Hollywood’s favorite go-to baddies. He’s terrorized superheroes in The Green Hornet, circus workers in Water For Elephants, swashbucklers in The Three Musketeers, and tiny warriors in Epic. Now he may do the same for Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales....

Cool Stuff: Olly Moss’ ‘Breaking Bad’ “Minute Walts” By Germain Lussier/Oct. 2, 2013 11:00 am EST Walter White has many looks. We’ve seen him as a normal father, cooking meth, as Heisenberg, and more. To celebrate the end of Breaking Bad, popular artist Olly Moss is giving fans a chance to own not one, but six, different Walts. For the next 24 hours or so, Moss is selling “Minute Walts,” which are small drawings of the popular character in his different outfits....

Cool Stuff: Spoke Art’s Stanley Kubrick Art Show By Germain Lussier/Sept. 4, 2014 8:00 am EST Over the course of 45 years, Stanley Kubrick made only 13 films. It’s a staggering number because his work is so influential, so revered and still so incredibly powerful, each one might as well count for 100. He is undoubtedly one of the greatest filmmakers of all time and his films continue to inspire artists young and old....

Director Jean-Marc Vallée Gets ‘Wild’ With Reese Witherspoon And Nick Hornby By Angie Han/Aug. 22, 2013 11:00 am EST The book hit #1 on the New York Times bestseller list shortly after its debut in spring 2012, and became the first selection for Oprah’s Book Club 2.0. Witherspoon acquired the film rights before Wild was even published. She’ll play Strayed, in addition to producing. Vallée broke through in the mid-2000s with the indie coming-of-age tale C....

First ‘Serena’ Trailer Reunites Jennifer Lawrence And Bradley Cooper By Angie Han/Sept. 12, 2014 7:30 am EST For a while there, it seemed like you couldn’t get a movie made without Bradley Cooper or Jennifer Lawrence getting involved, often at the same time. The pair shot three films together in about two years: David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle, and Susanne Bier’s Serena. The first two of those have already opened to great acclaim, but the third remained stuck in post-production for quite a long time....

First Look: Dane DeHaan’s James Dean In Anton Corbijn’s ‘Life’ By Angie Han/March 6, 2014 12:15 pm EST Dane DeHaan has played some pretty meaty roles over the course of his career, but he has particularly big shoes to fill in Life. The Anton Corbijn-directed drama stars DeHaan as silver screen legend James Dean, opposite Robert Pattinson as photographer Dennis Stock. Until the movie actually opens, we won’t know whether DeHaan does a capable job of capturing Dean’s vital essence....

First Look: The Crimson Typhoon In ‘Pacific Rim,’ And Sub-Orbital Gemini Armor From ‘Iron Man 3’ By Germain Lussier/March 28, 2013 12:00 pm EST Two summer movies packed with lots of hardware have released brand new images. While it’s good to see another machine created for Guillermo Del Toro to stand alongside other massive robots in Pacific Rim, the image from Iron Man 3 is a lot more revealing. In fact, a few months ago, when an image of this armor made its way online, we were asked to take it down....

First Video: ‘Violet & Daisy’ Starring Saoirse Ronan And Alexis Bledel As Teen Assassins By Russ Fischer/March 1, 2011 3:00 pm EST Saoirse Ronan isn’t just in one movie about a teen assassin. The first one is Joe Wright’s Hanna (trailer), in which the actress plays a girl raised by her ex-CIA father (Eric Bana) to undertake a cross-continental assassination mission. The other is Violet & Daisy, which was written by Oscar-winning Precious screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher, who is also making his directorial debut....

Green Hornet’s Costume, Edward James Olmos’ Role Revealed By David Chen/Sept. 30, 2009 6:37 pm EST [No photo] We had a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Seth Rogen’s upcoming Green Hornet project a few weeks ago, when set photos surfaced. Those photos gave us a taste of the film’s look, and notably revealed what Kato’s costume would look like. Now, courtesy of Splash News (via CHUD), we also have a blurry look at the Green Hornet’s costume (above)....

John Goodman And Ken Watanabe Join ‘Transformers: Age Of Extinction’ Cast By Germain Lussier/May 8, 2014 5:05 pm EST It’s always good when major actors are cast in a film two months before it opens right? No? Well, it’s a little less of an issue when they’re the voices of two supporting characters. Which is what director Michael Bay just announced. Bay revealed that John Goodman and Ken Watanabe have joined the cast of Transformers: Age of Extinction as the voices of Autobots Hound and Drift....

Live-Action Footage Shows Creation Of ‘The Little Mermaid’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 4, 2013 3:15 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There are lots of big movie releases this week in theaters and at home, but one a lot of people haven’t been talking about is The Little Mermaid on 3D Blu-ray. Sure it’s just another release of a film that’s almost 25 years old, but it’s packed full of extras and one of the most surprising has now come online....

Mark Wahlberg’s Company To Remake French Thriller ‘Point Blank’ By Germain Lussier/Nov. 2, 2012 4:15 pm EST Fred Cavaye’s 2010 French action film Point Blank (not to be confused with the 1967 film starring Lee Marvin) features a male nurse forced to break a murderer out of prison to save his pregnant, kidnapped wife. If that sounds like a taut, interesting premise to you, maybe you should be a film producer....

Martin Scorsese Has A ‘New York Review Of Books’ Doc Premiering In Berlin By Angie Han/Jan. 28, 2014 3:30 pm EST Martin Scorsese just released The Wolf of Wall Street and is gearing up for Silence, but he’s sneaking one more movie in between them. The director is headed to the Berlin Film Festival next month for a work-in-progress screening of his as-yet-untitled documentary about the New York Review of Books....

Page 2: Star Wars, South Park, Indiana Jones, Hobbit, Sigourney Weaver, Muppets, Nightmare Before Christmas, MI4, Moonrise Kingdom, Lincoln, Breaking Bad By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 9, 2012 8:00 am EST Page 2 is a compilation of stories and news tidbits, which for whatever reason, didn’t make the front page of /Film. After the jump we’ve included 46 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness....

Roberto Orci Will Direct ‘Star Trek 3’ By Russ Fischer/May 13, 2014 6:42 pm EST So Roberto Orci will direct Star Trek 3. The man who co-wrote the first two new franchise films for J.J. Abrams has been lobbying to take over the director’s chair for the third installment. Despite his lack of feature experience (Orci has never directed a feature) Skydance Productions and Paramount have given him the offer, so it’s all but done....
