Aaron Sorkin May Write ‘Flash Boys’, From ‘Moneyball’ Author And Producer By Angie Han/June 20, 2014 5:00 pm EST The last time Scott Rudin had a Michael Lewis adaptation on his hands, he got Aaron Sorkin to help turn it into a critically acclaimed hit. So now that he’s got another Lewis adaptation in the works, he’s naturally bringing Sorkin back on board. The Oscar-nominated scribe is in talks to pen Flash Boys, based on Lewis’ bestseller about high-frequency trading on Wall Street....

Animated ‘Ratchet And Clank’ Video Game Adaptation In Development For 2015 By Russ Fischer/April 23, 2013 1:12 pm EST It’s surprising that we haven’t yet seen a Ratchet and Clank film from Sony. The game series launched in 2002 on the PlayStation 2, and has carried through two console generations and across multiple handheld systems as one of Sony’s premiere first-party franchises. Cute, furry alien hero Ratchet and his helpful, wise-cracking sidekick Clank are featured in eleven primary titles and a set of remastered HD editions of the first few games in the series....

First Full ‘American Horror Story: Freak Show’ Trailer Goes Behind The Curtain By Angie Han/Sept. 8, 2014 6:30 am EST FX got the American Horror Story: Freak Show marketing campaign going early with a handful of short, creepy teasers, and today they’ve finally revealed the first full American Horror Story: Freak Show trailer.

Hugh Jackman In Talks For ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past’ By Russ Fischer/Nov. 28, 2012 7:23 pm EST One of the key characters in the Days of Future Past comic book storyline (as was the case in most of the big X-Men stories in the early ’80s) was Wolverine. And so it seemed inconcievable that Bryan Singer would make the First Class sequel (or is it an X-Men bridge movie?) without bringing in Hugh Jackman....

John Singleton’s ‘Tupac’ Goes To Open Road By Angie Han/April 16, 2014 4:30 pm EST A Tupac Shakur biopic has been in the works for a long, long time — so long, in fact, that it was starting to look like the film would never actually happen. But now it’s finally coming together for real, with a distributor and everything. Open Road Films has just picked up the U.S. rights to Tupac....

Joss Whedon Says Don’t Get Your Hopes Up For A ‘Firefly’ Kickstarter Campaign Just Yet By Angie Han/March 15, 2013 9:00 am EST Scheduling isn’t the only issue. While Veronica Mars’ Kickstarter campaign has raised an impressive $3 million and counting, that’s still a paltry sum compared to the $39 million it took to make Serenity. Any sequel would likely require a hefty chunk of change as well. My fourth feeling when I read about [the Veronica Mars Kickstarter campaign] was a kind of dread....

But if you’re really dying to get all the details right this moment, there’s a way....

Mark Millar Talks Sentinels And Character Balance In ‘X-Men: Days Of Future Past,’ Promises Final ‘Kick-Ass’ Film By Russ Fischer/Feb. 1, 2013 12:45 pm EST Cornered at an event in Scotland, Millar talked about returning character Kitty Pryde, who presumably has a bigger role in this one than her earlier X-Men cameos. (“Let me put it this way though: Kitty Pryde fans will not be disappointed.) He mentions the mutant-killing robot Sentinels, too....

New ‘Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues’ Photos Are Stylin’ And Profilin’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 13, 2013 11:40 am EST You probably already know this, but Ron Burgundy is kind of a big deal. If he wasn’t, would he be able to pull off a long leather overcoat with puffy fur collar? San Diego’s most famous news anchor returns December 20 with Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. The full cast of the 2004 original are back as Ron (Will Ferrell), Brick (Steve Carell), Champ (David Koechner) and Brian (Paul Rudd) are forced into the world of 24-hour news during the 1980s....

Rob Cohen To Direct Action Thriller ‘Risk’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 7, 2014 1:00 pm EST Briefly: No, we haven’t gone back to the days where studios were actively developing board game properties, and this Risk doesn’t have any of the strategic hallmarks you might be thinking of. (Though after The Lego Movie hits this weekend, we might see a resurgence of toy and game developments.) This film is an action picture that blends “psychological suspense and action,” and features “a brilliant thief who is released early from prison to execute a nearly impossible art heist....

See Photos And Video Of Japan’s Guardians Of The Galaxy Anime By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 12, 2014 7:00 am EST While we might have to wait a little while longer for a proper Guardians Of The Galaxy anime, Marvel is going to bring the galactic superhero group to Marvel Disk Wars: The Avengers in Japan. According to IO9, the “ridiculous, Beyblade/Pokémon-esque anime series” is “designed solely to sell Marvel merch to young kids....

VOTD: The Visual Effects Of ‘Game Of Thrones’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 26, 2011 6:00 am EST The worst part of watching TV shows as they air is the long stretches between seasons. Luckily with a show like Game of Thrones, that’s based on a series of novels, fans can go ahead and read what happens next in the battle between the Starks and the Lannisters. But if you’re more a visual person and hate that whole “reading” thing (you’re out there, don’t deny it), we’ve come across two very cool videos that highlight the digital effects that went into making HBO’s hit show....

Watch: ‘Insight: Derek Cianfrance’ Examines The Director’s Process By Angie Han/March 12, 2014 11:00 am EST Though he only has three features to his name — one of which, Brother Tied, was little seen to begin with and isn’t even available on home video now — Derek Cianfrance has already established himself as a filmmaker worth paying attention to. Today, a new video does just that. Described as a “guided tour” of the process behind Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines, Kees van Dijkhuizen’s Insight: Derek Cianfrance combines the footage and Cianfrance’s DVD audio commentary from the two movies....
