The next exhibit at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, TX is called In Progress and will feature original, hand drawn sketches, line art and concepts that were eventually made into some of the iconic posters released by the company....

Jon Favreau’s ‘Chef’ Clip Takes Aim On Twitter And Critics By Germain Lussier/May 9, 2014 2:30 pm EST Jon Favreau’s small, personal film Chef opens in New York and Los Angeles this weekend. It’s really good but not for the reasons you’d think. Yes, there is a lot of cooking and delicious-looking food, which is always fun to watch. However, what makes Favreau’s film really tasty is that it’s more about a father’s relationship with his son, the way social media has changed our lives and the complicated relationship between critics and their subjects....

Mark Wahlberg Would Like To Play Iron Man After Robert Downey Jr. By Germain Lussier/Aug. 14, 2013 9:33 am EST In a new interview, Mark Wahlberg says he’d like to take over the Iron Man franchise from Robert Downey Jr. He’s mostly kidding. The line is delivered in a semi-joking tone and he goes on to say he’s never really been asked to play a superhero. He prefers to play someone real and relatable....

Ron Howard To Direct J.J. Abrams-Produced Fantasy ‘All I’ve Got’ By Angie Han/Jan. 17, 2013 1:30 pm EST As Ron Howard puts the finishing touches on his Formula One racing drama Rush, he’s added yet another project to his upcoming slate.

Two of his recent films (13 Assassins and Hara-Kiri) are remakes, and he’s remade Kim Jee-woon’s The Quiet Family as The Happiness of the Katakuris, and Kinji Fukasaku’s Graveyard of Honor as a new film with the same name.

Though the most famous incarnation of the tale is likely the 1989 animation, pictured above, Wright and Marcel won’t be telling Disney’s version of the tale.

‘Diana’ Teaser Trailer: Naomi Watts Plays The Most Famous Woman In The World By Germain Lussier/June 12, 2013 10:30 am EST For a minute-long teaser, the first look at Olivier Hirschbiegel’s biopic Diana has a surprising amount of footage. What’s even more surprising is how, for the good majority of it, it’s impossible to tell if it’s actually Princess Diana or actress Naomi Watts playing the part. Based on a secret romance the then-most famous woman in the world had with a Pakistani heart surgeon (Lost’s Naveen Andrews), Diana is Oscar-bait all the way....

Helena Bonham Carter’s Red, Ruth Wilson’s Rebecca Reid, and William Fichtner’s Butch Cavendish each get a turn in the spotlight, along with a pithy description explaining more about their characters....

‘The Mortal Instruments’ Prequel Already In Motion By Russ Fischer/April 12, 2013 4:21 pm EST Here’s an example of great optimism: while the first film based on Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments novels hasn’t even opened yet, Constantin Films is already putting together a prequel.
