But first, she’s taking a jaunt to lighter territory with the romantic comedy Love Is All You Need....

By Russ Fischer/March 6, 2013 5:39 pm EST There has been speculation about MGM’s remake of Poltergeist for a long time now. It reached a height when Sam Raimi was announced as a producer, and once we thought there was a chance he would direct. But now MGM has announced the studio’s choice for director: Gil Kenan, who directed the animated film Monster House and the YA adaptation City of Ember....

‘Runner Runner’ Trailer: Ben Affleck And Justin Timberlake Tangle Over Millions By Germain Lussier/June 6, 2013 9:32 am EST When a college student loses everything playing online poker, he believes he’s been cheated and hunts down the man responsible. That’s the just the start of Brad Furman’s Runner Runner, which stars Justin Timberlake in the student role and Ben Affleck as the cheater. The two men team up, and before you know it, Timberlake’s character is in way over his head with the F....

B-Movie: A Short Film About Banksy By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 15, 2011 12:00 pm EST A few sites today posted a a short documentary titled B-Movie: a short film about Banksy. The video, which was posted on Vimeo under the user name “Robin Gunningham” was quickly removed. You might reccognize the name because it was published in UK’s newspaper The Mail in July 2008, claiming to be the real indentity of the street artist....

Bryan Singer To Produce Comic Book Adaptation Capeshooters By Peter Sciretta/July 22, 2008 8:22 pm EST Bryan Singer is in negotiations to produce Capeshooters, an adaptation of Rob Liefeld’s (photographed above) upcoming graphic novel which tells the story of two slackers who become superhero paparazzi. The duo uncover evidence that a legendary superhero is actually an undercover villain. I’m very excited that movie studios are still trying to find original superhero properties, instead of digging through the bevy of bottom of the barrel established franchise heroes....

Christian Bale Reunites With David O. Russell And Amy Adams On Con Man Drama Once Called ‘American Bullsh*t’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 5, 2012 10:56 am EST David O. Russell and The Fighter were good to Christian Bale — they gave the actor a chance to really dig deep into a role rich with dramatic potential, and he took home an Oscar for it. Now Bale is going back to work for Russell, in the film once called American Bullshit, which is working without a title for now....

Concept Art From Pixar’s ‘The Good Dinosaur,’ ‘The Inside Out’ And Dia De Los Muertos By Germain Lussier/Jan. 1, 2013 10:29 am EST Outside of naming a certain director for a certain sequel taking place in a galaxy far, far away, I can’t think of a better way for Disney to kick off 2013 than looking ahead to three upcoming Pixar films. This year will bring the prequel Monsters University, but we already know the three films on Pixar’s slate after that....

Dean Parisot Now In Line To Direct Summit’s ‘The Secret Life Of Houdini’ By Russ Fischer/June 18, 2013 1:27 pm EST Dean Parisot has done a few big-screen directing gigs in the past two decades (Galaxy Quest being the fan favorite) but mostly worked in TV during that period. Now he’s headed back to the big screen with the reins of Red 2 in hand. Summit may be happy with that sequel because the studio is reportedly giving Parisot something a lot more interesting than the geriatric assassins movie: a film about Harry Houdini....

Director Alan Taylor Cites ‘Batman Begins’ As Inspiration For ‘Terminator’ Reboot By Germain Lussier/Oct. 18, 2013 10:00 am EST Alan Taylor, the director of Thor: The Dark World, won’t confirm or deny if he’s directing the 2015 Terminator film. “I’m under the personal policy to say it’s a rumor,” he told me at the junket for his new Marvel film. Taylor did, however, admit talks have been progressing and if he was to direct the film – hypothetically, of course – fans should regard it like Batman Begins in relation to the Joel Schumacher Batman movies....

Disney’s Cars-Spinoff ‘Planes’ Teaser Trailer By Peter Sciretta/June 13, 2011 1:30 pm EST Remember the last time Disney began doing direct-to-dvd spin-off/sequels of their classic animated films? Yeah, that was a disaster — a disaster that John Lasseter ended in 2007. Well it looks like the mouse house needs more money and Lasseter is on board. I’m sure Pixar wants no credit what-so-ever. I have no interest what-so-ever in seeing this movie....

A survey is going around to select Annual Pass holders and other Disney fanatics that asks the question “How interested would you be in visiting a Star Wars themed land at the Disneyland Resort?...

Due Date - What Did You Think? By David Chen/Nov. 5, 2010 8:30 pm EST I count myself a fan of director Todd Phillips. Sure he’s had his hits and misses, but when he hits, he hits big. Phillips’ last film The Hangover seemingly came out of nowhere, yet with no big-name stars, it went onto gross over $450 million worldwide and launched Galifianakis’ career into the stratosphere. Phillips’ eagerly anticipated new film, Due Date, is out in theaters today and pairs up Robert Downey Jr....

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 18, 2013 6:30 am EST Beacham offers a bit more: It’s more fantasy than historical fiction, but visceral fantasy. Magic, yes, but magic like Carnival Row has faeries. #Hieroglyph — Travis Beacham (@travisbeacham) October 18, 2013 It’s blood and sex. A charge in the air. A voice whispering your name from inside a sealed sarcophagus. That’s the old magic. #Hieroglyph The pilot of Hieroglyph will be directed by Miguel Sapochnik....

Isaiah Mustafa Campaigns To Play Marvel’s Luke Cage In A New Teaser Trailer By Russ Fischer/May 30, 2011 1:34 pm EST What is the origin of this teaser trailer in which Old Spice pitchman Isaiah Mustafa plays Marvel hero Luke Cage? We know that Marvel Studios has talked about making a Luke Cage film, but this is not a trailer for that movie. This is, in effect, a trailer for a film that doesn’t exist....

Joseph Gordon Levitt To ‘Reach The Clouds’ With Robert Zemeckis By Angie Han/Jan. 23, 2014 12:00 pm EST We see movie stars zipping around the New York City skyline (or at least a CG version of it) all the time, but it’s usually in the context of superhero movies. For one of his next films, however, Joseph Gordon-Levitt will play a mere mortal who managed to do so without the benefit of web shooters, high-tech suits, freak genetic mutations, or otherwordly gifts....

More ‘Monsters University’ Viral Videos Come Online By Germain Lussier/March 11, 2013 11:00 am EST For Pixar’s latest, Monsters University, Disney is really taking the college angle and running with it. We’ve seen updated websites, ads and more selling the movie like it’s a real university. Not only does this gets Pixar fans excited to see something new, Disney is obviously hoping it’ll pique the interest of non-fans asking, “Just what is this Monsters University thing all about?...
