‘Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2’ Trailer: A Fantasyland Full Of Food Puns By Russ Fischer/Feb. 27, 2013 2:21 pm EST I put off seeing Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, because I had no associations with the book from which the film took inspiration, and I thought the film would be childish and ridiculous based on the title. I was wrong; the movie is super-charming and well-made. This year we’ll see the sequel, and the first trailer has just been released....

‘Noah’ International Trailer: The Flood Is Coming By Russ Fischer/Nov. 29, 2013 8:56 pm EST The story of Noah and the ark that preserved some of Earth’s creatures against God’s wrathful flood is one of our most well-known tales, but with Darren Aronofsky doing the telling it’s safe to assume the film Noah will feature some new angles. Russell Crowe plays the devout man given advance word that the flood is coming, and Ray Winstone is the king who — for reasons we don’t entirely know — isn’t thrilled that Noah is building a massive boat in the middle of his kingdom....

‘Real Steel 2’ Still In Development, But Is It Going To Happen? By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 8, 2014 10:02 am EST A week before the release of Real Steel, DreamWorks signed director Shawn Levy and star Hugh Jackman to return for the sequel. The film did okay with critics, but audiences seemed to really respond to the film (the studio signed contracts for a sequel purely based on the extremely positive reactions from test screenings), the movie earned almost $300 million worldwide, and did some good money in toy sales....

Directed by Johannes Roberts, Storage 24 follows four Londoners (Antonia Campbell-Hughes, Colin O’Donoghue, Laura Haddock, and Doctor Who’s Noel Clarke) who get trapped in a storage facility when a military plane crash shuts down the city’s power....

Bradley Cooper To Play Mack Bolan For Todd Phillips By Angie Han/Aug. 18, 2014 9:14 pm EST Technically, Bradley Cooper already has an action franchise in Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. But that one really only makes use of his voice. Now he’s booked a series that’ll utilize the rest of him. Cooper is set to reunite with his Hangover director Todd Phillips for a Mack Bolan movie, based on the series of books by Don Pendleton....

Chris Hemsworth And Tom Hiddleston Get ‘Thor: The Dark World’ Character Posters By Germain Lussier/Aug. 26, 2013 1:00 pm EST As curious as we are about many of the secondary characters in Thor: The Dark World, really it’s the Thor and Loki show. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston’s portrayals of the feuding brothers have been the heart of not only Thor, but The Avengers and – from what we’ve seen – this sequel as well....

David Fincher Met With Lucasfilm For ‘Star Wars Episode 7’ By Germain Lussier/Sept. 29, 2014 8:46 am EST From what we’ve heard, J.J. Abrams was always the director Kathleen Kennedy wanted to direct Star Wars Episode VII. Abrams had the ability and the insane Star Wars fandom to please executives and fans alike. However, don’t forget, he initially turned it down. History gets murky after that, with an incredible list of A-list directors who were rumored to, and reported to, have been contacted....

David Yates has been prepping a big screen, big budget, 3D version of Tarzan at Warner Bros. for so long, the company once came close to canceling it. That all went away Tuesday as he finally signed his cast and got his release date....

Director Neil Burger Won’t Return For ‘Divergent’ Sequels By Germain Lussier/Dec. 17, 2013 11:00 am EST The anticipated young adult adaptation Divergent is coming in March and Summit is so confident in what director Neil Burger has done with the film, they’ve already dated two sequels for 2015 and 2016. That quick turnaround means the man who helped realize the franchise on the big screen won’t continue however. Burger won’t return to direct Insurgent or Allegiant....

Funny Or Die Admits To Fake Hoverboard Video By Germain Lussier/March 5, 2014 5:28 pm EST Funny or Die has been sorry a lot lately. Now they’re apologizing for a fake hoverboard video. After the weirdness with Jerry O’Connell a few weeks back, the site has admitted the HUVr viral video released on Tuesday was, indeed, a ruse. The mythic Back to the Future Part II prop has been on wish lists since 1989 and despite prop replicas and real life scientific attempts, we’re no closer to zipping around in the air like Marty McFly than we were 25 years ago....

The studio first hired Jon Spaihts (Prometheus) to write a screenplay, brought Len Wiseman on board to direct, and then commissioned a second screenplay by Billy Ray (The Hunger Games) this past winter in case Spaihts’ version wasn’t up to snuff....

LeVar Burton Launches ‘Reading Rainbow’ Kickstarter Campaign By Angie Han/May 28, 2014 11:00 am EST After Veronica Mars successfully Kickstarted its way to a movie sequel, it seemed like every dead TV series was talking up the potential for a crowdfunded revival. So far, most of that chatter hasn’t amounted to much. But LeVar Burton has already gotten a step further than most of them by starting an actual Kickstarter campaign to bring back Reading Rainbow, the long-running educational kids’ series....

LOL: Thai Rip-Off Of Disney’s ‘Beauty And The Beast’ By Germain Lussier/Oct. 20, 2010 5:00 am EST For anyone who has dreamed of watching a shot for shot remake of Disney’s 1991 Best Picture nominee Beauty and the Beast with inferior animation and terrible voice acting from a foreign country, your day has finally come. We were lucky enough to come upon this video and, with Beauty and the Beast currently hot again off its current Blu-ray release and recent Sing-A-Long theatrical run, it’s too funny not to highlight....
