By Peter Sciretta/June 19, 2008 3:56 pm EST I’m sure the 10 times as big is only slightly exaggerated. The first film cost an estimated $150 million, and if Fox’s claims were literally true, the sequel would cost $1.5 billion. But speaking of exotic locations… [location spoiler warning] The Philadelphia City Hall has been transformed into a Cafe in France. The scene apparently involves Sam’s parents Ron and Judy Witwicky (played by Kevin Dunn and Julie White) as they are on vacation in Paris....

Netflix Willing To Make More ‘Arrested Development’ Episodes By Germain Lussier/May 29, 2013 11:03 am EST The fourth season of Arrested Development was never meant to be the end. From its earliest conception, creator Mitchell Hurwitz said the fourth season was just a long recap and preamble to a movie.

See Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan And Justin Timberlake On The Set Of The Coen Brothers’ ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 27, 2012 4:30 pm EST NO PHOTOS These aren’t the most exciting set photos we’ve ever seen, but the interest in a new movie from Joel and Ethan Coen trumps any lack of zing in individual photos from the set of one of their films. In this case, the Brothers are now in New York City shooting Inside Llewyn Davis, a film that is based in part on the life of folk musician Dave Van Ronk, who was part of the mid-’60s Greenwich Village folk music upswing....

Superhero Bits: X-Men Days Of Future Past, Batman Vs. Superman, Agent Carter, Deadpool, Venom By Germain Lussier/May 13, 2014 5:00 pm EST Could that possibly be the Batman vs. Superman Batmobile? Who would win in a fight, the X-Men or the Avengers? Which superhero has the most money? What’s the latest update on Deadpool? Do the X-Men producers want you to forget X-Men The Last Stand? When will Agent Carter air on ABC?...

Tom Hanks Drops Out Of Frank Darabont’s Fahrenheit 451 By Hunter Stephenson/March 28, 2008 1:07 pm EST “Sayonara, Bonfire of the Vanities!” Frank Darabont’s adaptation of the classic novel Fahrenheit 451 ranks right up there with Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards, Fincher’s Rendezvous with Rama and Aronofsky’s take on Lone Wolf & Cub as an epic dream project that’s been discussed for ages. For nearly a year, Tom Hanks had been pegged for the 2009 film’s lead role of Guy Montag, a content fireman of the future who slowly realizes that his government occupation of burning books and oppressing book owners is nothing less than horrific....

VOTD: Spike Jonze Challenges Journalist On Her Emotional Response To ‘Her’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 18, 2014 4:30 pm EST Spike Jonze’s fantastic films have made legions of fans. But a new video making the rounds online could give him the respect of non-fans as well. Jonze appeared via Satellite on BBC Newsnight with Emily Maitlis and had a feeling the anchor hadn’t seen his movie, Her, or at least wasn’t being honest about it....

WTF: Early Trailer For Timur Bekmambetov’s Movie About Killer Squirrels By Russ Fischer/Aug. 19, 2013 4:00 pm EST “Hold on to your nuts.” That’s the tagline for Squirrels, from producer Timur Bekmambetov and writers Daniel Antoniazzi and Ben Shiffrin. The film doesn’t have a director at this point, but there’s a sales/concept trailer for your viewing… pleasure? The film looks like it belongs in a zone somewhere between the classic old animal-oriented exploitation movies and the new crop of Asylum and SyFy features....

‘Admission’ Trailer #2: If You Were Tina Fey, You Would Kill Yourself By Angie Han/Dec. 20, 2012 9:36 am EST For high school seniors, college admissions board members can seem almost godlike in their power over the futures. From the time the kids send in their application to the time they hear back, the fate of the world seems to rest in the schools’ hands.* But as the new trailer for Admission shows, the process isn’t always a pleasant one for the folks on the other end, either....

‘Akira’ Comes Back To Life At Warner Bros. With Jaume Collet-Serra Directing By Russ Fischer/Aug. 2, 2013 8:13 am EST Warner Bros. can no longer rely on the big summer projects developed by Legendary, so what’s the studio to do?

‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’ Scribe Marti Noxon Writing ‘Tomb Raider’ By Russ Fischer/June 12, 2013 5:00 pm EST Briefly: The video game incarnation of Lara Croft, Tomb Raider, was rebooted not long ago, and the film version is following suit. Paramount’s hold on the franchise rights lapsed after the middling performance of the second film starring Angelina Jolie, and GK Films nabbed the option to make a new Tomb Raider film....

‘Far From Men’ Trailer: Viggo Mortensen Stars In A Western-Like Tale Of Survival By Russ Fischer/Aug. 22, 2014 3:30 pm EST Viggo Mortensen has had a busy couple years, though he hasn’t been doing Hollywood films. The Two Faces of January (trailer) and Jauja (trailer) have premiered recently in Berlin and Cannes, respectively. Now he’s got a third film hitting a major fest this year. In Far From Men, French writer-director David Oelhoffen started with the Albert Camus short story The Guest to create what is, in many respects, a western — just one set in Algeria during the revolution of the mid/late 1950s....

‘Mob City’ TV Trailer: From Former ‘Walking Dead’ Showrunner Frank Darabont By Angie Han/Aug. 13, 2013 12:00 pm EST After his unceremonious exit from The Walking Dead, Frank Darabont returns to television this year with a whole new project that has nothing to do with the undead — but plenty, still, to do with monsters. The six-episode TNT series Mob City (formerly titled L.A. Noir and then Lost Angels) chronicles the war between gangsters and cops in ’40s Los Angeles, which gets kicked up to a whole new level once the LAPD forms a specialized mob squad....
