And The Early ‘Terminator’ Reboot Title Is… By Russ Fischer/Dec. 9, 2013 9:00 am EST Briefly: The title of the Terminator reboot is, reportedly Terminator: Genesis. That’s one of those wildly uninspiring subtitles that can join words such as “retribution,” “origins,” and “retaliation” in the set of outlawed terms that offer some vague idea of the tone of a film without really saying much at all. Since this is the first film in a planned trilogy, maybe we can look forward to two more well-worn biblical subtitles....

Let Bruce Campbell Sell You On ‘The Evil Dead’ Remake By Germain Lussier/Oct. 22, 2012 5:00 pm EST The common reaction to the statement, “They’re remaking Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead” is disbelief and maybe a scream. Hollywood can remake as many of their own films as they want but the original The Evil Dead was a fully independent production that most people discovered on VHS or cable TV. For those reasons, it’s a cult classic many people hold dearer than others and the idea of a remake seems blasphemous....

Making Of: Learn About The ‘Flight’ Crash Sequence, ‘Skyfall’ Car Explosion, And ‘Dredd’ Mega-City One Creation By Russ Fischer/Nov. 13, 2012 1:51 pm EST Why wait for DVD?

The entire internet is now a cache of info about the creation of films, even as they’re in theaters....
