Gary Oldman Added To ‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ By Russ Fischer/Feb. 28, 2013 3:33 pm EST Briefly: The cast of Matt Reeves’ Dawn of the Planet of the Apes just got some extra integrity. Gary Oldman has signed on to play “the leader of a human colony.” Oldman will work alongside the returning Andy Serkis, playing Caesar, and newcomers Jason Clarke and Kodi Smit-McPhee. We don’t know too much about the story, but do know that it is set fifteen years after the end of rise of the Planet of the Apes, and picks up after most of humanity has been wiped off the earth, leaving evolved primates as the dominant species....

George Clooney To Star In Men Who Stare At Goats By Hunter Stephenson/May 16, 2008 11:29 am EST Cool subject matter almost lending itself to a Coens-esque romp, no? The film will be directed by multitasker Grant Heslov, a partner in Clooney’s Smoke House imprint, with a script by Peter Straughan (the upcoming adaptation of Toby Young’s How to Win Friends and Alienate People). After the prototypically classy Michael Clayton and Leatherheads, it’s time Clooney put on a nappy wig and went a little batshit like Nic Cage in Raising Arizona or Tom Hanks in Cast Away....

LOL: Everything Wrong With ‘The Avengers’ In 3 Minutes Or Less By Germain Lussier/Dec. 18, 2012 4:25 pm EST Since we’ve helped some air grievances about certain films, it’s only right to offer an equal bashing to all of 2012’s superhero movies. We’ve covered people taking down The Dark Knight Rises, and The Amazing Spider-Man, and now it’s time for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers to go under the bus. Out of the year’s three big superhero movies, The Avengers gets the least flack in part because it was so damn successful, grossing $623 million domestic and $1....

Matthew McConaughey Definitely Won’t Do ‘True Detective’ Season Two By Russ Fischer/March 3, 2014 9:00 am EST We’ve known that the first season of True Detective would mostly be a stand-alone thing, with a second season following more or less in name (and possibly theme) only. If and when True Detective returns, it will be with a new story, and a new cast. And so the thick “True Detective Season Two” meme has seen hundreds of concepts, both serious and joking, for cast team-ups that could carry the second season....
