Ben Affleck Regrets ‘Daredevil’, Says His Batman Won’t Compete With Christian Bale’s By Angie Han/Dec. 3, 2013 5:30 pm EST Ben Affleck was not the Internet’s top pick to play Batman in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel, to put it mildly, in part because we all remember what happened the last time he donned a superhero costume. But if it’s any consolation, Affleck is just as aware as you are that Daredevil sucked, calling it “the only movie I actually regret....

Cool Stuff: Tim Doyle’s ‘UnReal Estate II’ Art Show Featuring ‘Firefly,’ ‘Doctor Who,’ ‘Downton Abbey,’ ‘Deadwood’ And More By Germain Lussier/Feb. 6, 2013 11:30 am EST Location is essential to the medium of television. Unlike movies, which can use a location and move along, TV recycles the same places over and over to conserve time and money. The result is that places on television become characters themselves. That was the idea behind Austin-based artist Tim Doyle’s first solo art show, UnReal Estate, in early 2012....

Director Seth Gordon Exits ‘Horrible Bosses 2’ By Angie Han/Aug. 7, 2013 4:00 pm EST Horrible Bosses did well enough in the summer of 2011 to merit a sequel, but progress on that follow-up has been pretty slow-moving. While screenwriters John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein were hired back for Horrible Bosses 2 back in 2012, stars Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, and Jason Bateman didn’t get around to signing on until earlier this year....

Is Pixar Making A ‘Star Wars’ Movie? By Angie Han/Jan. 22, 2014 2:00 pm EST When Disney acquired the Star Wars franchise, they quickly made it clear that they had more than just a new cinematic trilogy in mind. There’s been talk of TV shows (e.g., Star Wars Rebels), comic books (to be published by Marvel), and spinoffs based on characters like Han Solo and Boba Fett. Now it seems we can also add a Pixar movie to that growing list of Star Wars projects....

Michael Bay’s Remake Of The Birds Aiming For Summer 2008 Release? By Peter Sciretta/April 9, 2007 5:15 am EST Last we heard, a remake of The Birds was in “active development” over at Michael Bay’s production company. Well today we have a slight update we discovered in the cliff-notes of a Variety article. Universal is aiming to begin shooting the remake by the end of the year. I wonder if the new version will be a remade of Alfred Hitchcock’s classic or a total restart based on the Daphne Du Maurier short story which inspired the film....

Hugh Jackman will play Blackbeard, Garrett Hedlund will be Hook, and Rooney Mara is in talks to play Tiger Lily. But for Peter, Wright and his producers are looking at younger, new talent.

Warner Bros. Trying To Reboot ‘Gremlins’ By Angie Han/Jan. 17, 2013 7:00 am EST Despite persistent rumors of another sequel, the Gremlins franchise has somehow managed to stay clear of the current craze of remaking / rebooting / sequelizing old movies.

Fans everywhere breathed a sigh of relief, and went about their business....
