Arnold Schwarzenegger And ‘Avatar 2’ Rumors Resurface [Updated] By Russ Fischer/Sept. 18, 2013 10:00 am EST And so we have a new report that Arnie will be the bad guy in Avatar 2 for director James Cameron, who directed the actor in The Terminator, Terminator 2, and True Lies. Talk of a potential fourth collaboration between the two sprang up in 2011, when they journeyed together to visit a rain forest in Brazil, where Cameron said he wanted to bring the Avatar 2 cast for training....

Cool Stuff: The Headlines Of The Marvel Cinematic Universe By Angie Han/June 26, 2013 2:35 pm EST Sure, the whole superpower thing is a little far-fetched, not to mention the alien attackers, the vengeful god, the interplanetary wormhole, and the idea that a superhero team would employ a regular guy whose job it is to shoot arrows. (I love Hawkeye as much as the next gal, but come on.) But through all that nonsense, it’s always been clear that the Marvel Cinematic Universe takes place in our world, in our time....

Disney Plans To Open George Lucas Land Theme Park? By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 17, 2007 12:49 am EST Okay, so the headline might be just a little bit deceiving. Disney is renaming the Disney-MGM Theme Park in Orlando to Disney’s Hollywood Studio. But the park will not just be renamed, but restructured into different lands (almost like how Universal handles Islands of Adventure). According to Jim Hill, there are plans to increase George Lucas’ presence in Disney’s Hollywood Studios into an entire George Lucas Land that will stretch from the Indiana Jones Outpost to the Tatooine Traders....

Kim Jee-Woon Directing Ed Brubaker’s ‘Coward’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 3, 2013 12:00 pm EST The English-language debut of South Korean director Kim Ji-woon (I Saw the Devil; The Good, the Bad, the Weird) didn’t land with much impact. But the piffle of a reception given The Last Stand hasn’t frightened the director off making films outside his native country. And now Kim has latched on to a project that perhaps suits his own proclivities much better than did the Arnold Schwarzenegger action film....

LOL: Watch Simon Pegg Explain How He Pranked The Cast Of ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ By Peter Sciretta/May 10, 2013 2:30 pm EST While making Star Trek Into Darkness, Simon Pegg pulled a funny prank on the cast of the film. Apparently they were shooting at a location which housed a huge real laser and Pegg took the opportunity to make fools of his fellow USS Enterprise crewmembers. But who knew the joke would last for days?...

Pixar’s Andrew Stanton Currently Writing John Carter Of Mars By Hunter Stephenson/June 7, 2008 12:21 pm EST Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I was just heading out to the pool to begin David Price’s The Pixar Touch, when I saw that writer/director Andrew Stanton (Wall-E, Finding Nemo) has confirmed via the Pixar Blog that he’s currently writing John Carter of Mars. Go figure. This isn’t surprising news, we’ve known since 2007 that Pixar is developing a trilogy of films based on the epic sci-fi fantasy material–the first of which is due before 2012–but Stanton’s confirmation drives it closer to reality....

See An Unused Concept For ‘Godzilla’ Monster Battle On Alcatraz By Russ Fischer/May 21, 2014 1:00 pm EST Godzilla is stomping through theaters worldwide, but even with the mysteries of the new movie fully revealed on screen, there are still hidden bits of recent Godzilla history to uncover. For instance, two new pieces of concept art have surfaced showing ideas batted around a couple years ago. These were likely done before the current incarnation of the film really got rolling, but one in particular is eye-catching enough to merit a look....

Watch A ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Effects Featurette By Russ Fischer/June 23, 2014 5:30 pm EST This featurette also points out another detail that we’ve seen in footage, but which many people probably never even think about: the challenge of creating wet ape fur. Digitally rendering proper hair and fur is difficult enough, but adding water changes things significantly. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes opens on July 11....

We Ask Kevin Feige: When Will We See Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars/Marvel Crossover Movie? By Peter Sciretta/May 1, 2013 9:00 am EST During my interview last week with Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and Iron Man 3 director Shane Black, I brought up Patton Oswalt’s awesome ad-libbed Star Wars: Episode VII pitch (a Parks & Recreation outtake) which involved a cross-over event involving Disney’s Marvel superhero and galactic universe. While many of my colleagues were asking the softball questions like “will Robert Downey Jr come back for a fourth Iron Man” or “where will Marvel go in Phase 3?...

‘Avengers Age Of Ultron’ Is A New Beginning For Marvel; Watch Full Panel [Comic Con 2014] By Germain Lussier/July 27, 2014 3:05 pm EST Avengers: Age Of Ultron might be the end of Phase Two but, according to one of its new members, it’s just the beginning. While the first footage from Avengers: Age of Ultron was undoubtedly the highlight of Marvel’s 2014 Comic-Con panel, a few of the actors on stage (which included Robert Downey Jr....

‘Escape From New York’ Reboot Gets New Life, Will Feature Origin Story Elements By Russ Fischer/March 18, 2013 12:20 pm EST Most of the biggest John Carpenter properties have either been remake or given some sort of new life (Halloween, The Fog, The Thing) or have been targeted for potential remakes (They Live, Escape From New York). Escape From New York tells the story of a convict who is sent into Manhattan — now a maximum security prison hellhole — to rescue the President of the United States, who has crashed on the island and is hostage to a local kingpin....

/Film Interview: Eli Roth, Producer Of ‘The Last Exorcism Part 2’ By Germain Lussier/Feb. 28, 2013 11:00 am EST A noted writer and director in his own right (and an actor, too), Roth produced the upcoming The Last Exorcism Part 2, a sequel to the surprise 2010 hit film, with those pitfalls in mind. He’s well aware the film has a mountain to climb. It’s a possession film, and a horror sequel....

‘Girl Most Likely’ Trailer: Kristen Wiig Has A Quirky Indie Meltdown By Angie Han/May 3, 2013 8:00 am EST It would’ve been easy for Kristen Wiig to keep riding the Bridesmaids train with a sequel. Lord knows Universal would’ve been happy if she did. But instead, the Saturday Night Live alum took the road less traveled with a string of indies, including her passion project Girl Most Likely (formerly Imogene)....

‘Paranormal Activity’ Will Rise Twice In 2014 By Russ Fischer/Aug. 8, 2013 3:00 pm EST Briefly: Paramount and Blumhouse Productions have been very happily cranking out a new Paranormal Activity film each year since the first became a smash hit in 2009. But the fifth film won’t hit this October. It was pushed back not long ago, and we know now that Paranormal Activity 5 will open (as expected, more or less) on October 14, 2014....
