John Cusack To Star In Adaptation Of Stephen King’s ‘Cell’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 31, 2012 11:15 am EST Now Cusack will go back to King’s imagination, as he has been set to star in an adaptation of the author’s novel Cell, “about a father’s odyssey to find his wife and son in the wake of a catastrophic pulse transmitted via mobile phones.” When the pulse hit, anyone using their phone was tranformed into a murderous, mindless monster, and Cusack will have to navigate that landscape....

Poster We Gotta Get Out Of This Place By Eisner Award Winning Artist Sean Phillips

By Germain Lussier/Aug. 27, 2013 12:45 pm EST In today’s Hollywood, unless a poster is sold online, odds are it stinks. The marketing for most films has become so generic that any kind of artistic expression of what a film is in its advertising has all but gone away. Every once in a while, however, a poster pops up to challenge that belief. That’s the case with We Gotta Get Out Of This Place, directed Simon and Zeke Hawkins....

Watch A Behind-The-Scenes Video From ‘Escape From Tomorrow’ By Angie Han/Oct. 15, 2013 7:00 am EST Escape From Tomorrow looks plenty interesting in its own right, but its origin story seems every bit as intriguing as the movie itself.

Watch Tom Hiddleston Sing As Hank Williams By Angie Han/Sept. 8, 2014 9:15 am EST To put it mildly, Tom Hiddleston didn’t seem like the most obvious choice to play Hank Williams in the Marc Abraham-directed biopic I Saw the Light. Hiddleston is a classically trained 30something British actor; Williams was an all-American country music legend who was just 29 when he passed away. But now that he has the role, the question is whether Hiddleston’s got the chops — and naturally, Hiddleston seems very eager to put any doubts to rest....
