Keanu Reeves Says No To Constantine 2, All Other Sequels By Hunter Stephenson/March 25, 2008 9:36 pm EST “Is that a sequel?” Constantine is a prime example of an R-rated comic book movie that almost nailed it but stumbled into an abyss of mediocrity. Like Hellboy, which wasn’t too great either but had an equally killer premise lingering in the dark side, Constantine could actually benefit from a sequel. Unlike Hellboy, which has a very cool-looking sequel at bat this summer (speaking of which, it’s rather quiet, no?...
LOL: Kevin Smith Wants Steven Spielberg To Make His ‘Jaws’ Sequel Concept By Germain Lussier/Oct. 2, 2014 2:00 pm EST What I’ve always loved about Kevin Smith is that he’s a fan. First and foremost, Smith loves movies and that’s why he always infuses his films with so much of that. At first is was totally blatant, like the references in Clerks or Mallrats. Now it’s a bit more subtle, such as borrowing storytelling techniques from Quentin Tarantino in Tusk....
Mike Myers Turns To Directing With Documentary ‘Supermensch’ By Germain Lussier/July 22, 2013 10:10 am EST Mike Myers was undoubtably one of the biggest movie stars in the world a decade ago. Wayne’s World, Austin Powers, Shrek, the guy had a long string of massive hits and sequels that afforded him the ability to do many other things.

Trivia: Michael Bay Offered Dwayne Johnson The Lead In ‘Transformers 4’ By Germain Lussier/April 29, 2013 9:00 am EST Michael Bay must have really liked working with his Pain & Gain co-stars. We know he’ll next be teaming up with Mark Wahlberg for Transformers 4, but the Oscar-nominee was not the director’s first choice. That honor goes to Wahlberg’s Pain & Gain co-star, Dwayne Johnson. Johnson revealed in a Twitter interview that Bay offered the lead role to him, but he had to turn it down because he’s starring in Brett Ratner’s Hercules....

Watch The ‘Hannibal’ Season 2 Gag Reel [Comic-Con 2014] By Angie Han/July 25, 2014 8:00 am EST The world of Hannibal is a deadly serious one, full of intelligent psychopaths able to realize their “designs” with terrifying precision. But as the Hannibal Season 2 gag reel shows, the set of Hannibal looks much more lighthearted. After the jump, watch Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, and the rest of the cast screw up during takes and screw around between them....
Will The ‘Jack Reacher’ Sequel Feature A Smart Female Teen Sidekick? By Russ Fischer/Dec. 9, 2013 4:12 pm EST There will almost certainly be a Jack Reacher sequel — the questions are “when,” and “by whom”? Notice that we don’t have to ask which of the many Lee Child novels the film will be based on, because Tom Cruise, Skydance Productions, and Paramount are now developing the most recent book, Never Go Back, as the sequel....
Wong Kar-Wai Prepping A New Movie To Shoot In 2015 By Russ Fischer/June 20, 2014 5:00 am EST We waited so long for Wong Kar-Wai’s The Grandmaster that it’s easy to stick in the mode of thinking he’s still working on The Grandmaster. But that film has been done and out for a year and a half. We’re all free to look forward to whatever the next project from the director may be....

By Russ Fischer/March 19, 2013 4:00 pm EST Lynne Ramsay’s third film, We Need to Talk About Kevin, is nearly a masterpiece of parental paranoia and despair. Based on that, and her previous work, and a great cast, we had big hopes for her new movie, Jane Got a Gun. The indie western stars Natalie Portman as a woman who takes up arms to defend her homestead against the bandits she assumes are en route to finish off her and her wounded husband....
‘Terminator: Genesis’ Has The “Same Feel” As ‘Terminator 2’ By Angie Han/March 18, 2014 12:45 pm EST Not a lot has been confirmed so far about the plot of Terminator: Genesis, other than the fact that it’ll involve some time-travel elements. But in terms of the movie’s tone, Arnold Schwarzenegger says it’ll have the “same feel” as 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgment Day. What it won’t be like, according to the Terminator, is director Alan Taylor’s last movie, Thor: The Dark World....
