Scott Gimple Is Your New New ‘The Walking Dead’ Showrunner By Angie Han/Jan. 14, 2013 4:30 pm EST The premise of The Walking Dead ensures that none of the cast members can ever be sure they’ll live to see the next episode, but job security on this show doesn’t seem to be much that better behind the scenes. As it heads toward the midseason premiere of Season 3, the AMC drama has just announced its third showrunner....

Steven Spielberg Envisions Teaming With Zhang Yimou For China-Set Film By Russ Fischer/Aug. 15, 2013 12:00 pm EST Steven Spielberg and Zhang Yimou almost worked together several years ago, when the two were teamed to create the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2008 Beijing Olymipcs. Spielberg pulled out of that project, but there’s a chance the two could still do something together in the future. While Spielberg is pursuing new projects (having put off Robopocalpypse and abandoned American Sniper), Zhang Yimou is attached to make Quasimodo, and has at least one project prepping in China....

Tron 2 Budget Debunked, Camera Tech Revealed By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2009 9:59 am EST [No photo] As suspected, the Vancouver Sun’s report that Tron 2’s budget “carries a whopping $300 million budget” was way overblown. As a company policy, Disney won’t comment on the actual budget numbers, but sources admit that the number is not close to $300 million, even in Canadian dollars. The above photo (via roya ) features Benjamin Button Director of Photography Claudio Miranda shooting a scene in downtown Vancouver, which is a stand in for New York City (notice the NYC yellow cab)....

VOTD: ‘Back To The Future’ Inspired Short Film Called ‘Hoverboard’ By Germain Lussier/March 13, 2013 6:00 am EST There was once a time I believed Back to the Future Part II was better than the original. I’ve since corrected that opinion, but you can’t blame me. As a child, the way screenwriters Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis folded the movie back onto itself seemed so exciting and surprising, it almost made me forget how absolutely perfect the first movie is....

Nevertheless, he’s ready to be done with the whole directing thing....

‘Being Flynn’ Trailer – Robert De Niro And Paul Dano Deal With Another Bullsh*t Night In Suck City By Angie Han/Nov. 15, 2011 7:00 am EST After a promising start that included sweet, gentle About a Boy, Paul Weitz’s career hasn’t been doing so well these past few years. His more recent work include American Dreamz, Cirque du Freak, and Little Fockers, none of which are exactly creative smashes. But if the moving trailer for his next project, Being Flynn, is any indication, Weitz could be on his way up again....

‘The Liberator’ Trailer: Édgar Ramírez Fights For Freedom By Russ Fischer/June 13, 2014 8:00 am EST That shot above looks like it could almost be Édgar Ramírez as Jon Snow from Game of Thrones, but in reality it is Ramírez as Simón Bolívar in the film The Liberator (aka Libertador). Or, if you want to be proper about it, the image shows Ramírez as Simón José Antonio de la Santísima Trinidad Bolívar y Palacios Ponte y Blanco, who lived from 1783 to 1830 and was one of the most important military leaders in Latin America’s effort to shrug off colonial Spanish rule....

‘Upside Down’ Trailer: Kirsten Dunst And Jim Sturgess Defy Gravity, Literally By Angie Han/Jan. 25, 2013 1:00 pm EST No, that header image isn’t flipped — Kirsten Dunst’s world is.
