Exclusive with Stunt Coordinator Chad Stahelski on working with all-star action greats: Jet Li, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Terry Crews and the king himself, Sly Stallone on The Expendables.

Hot on the heels of the Thor and Captain America poster reveals we have the first look at four of the new Green Lantern posters. The posters use the credo of the Green Lantern as the tag-line of the film, which makes sense (it’s a pretty epic credo if you ask me), and use the [...]

Compared to the gigantic releases from EA (EA Sports MMA) and THQ (UFC Undisputed 2010), 505 Games’ entry into the MMA arena with Supremacy MMA is relatively small. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean that Supremacy will be drowned out by its massively sponsored and promoted brethren. I got a chance to preview all three games [...]

Some of the most creative and important people in the film industry are getting together this weekend in NY but there’s a good chance (unless you’re a industry insider) that you’ve never heard of any of them. These people sit, often isolated, in dark rooms cutting together the movies we love to watch — yep, [...]

We are now only a few weeks out from the opening of The Last Airbender, and anticipation is running high, as is trepidation, with a side order of controversy. Soon we’ll all be able to see if M. Night Shyamalan is truly up to the task of satisfying the passionate fanbase for the show, and [...]

Aasif Mandvi is doing it all wrong. Yes, he’s spent the last four years earning laughs as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, the hot-button political and social zeitgeist prism that has also helped launch the careers of Stephen Colbert, Steve Carell, Rob Corddry, and Ed Helms. But before that he was [...]

Exclusive M. Night Shyamalan Interview: An Admitted Control Freak Opens Up About How He Lost Control of The Last Airbender — Then Found It Again

When I spoke with M. Night Shyamalan the other day he was on a land-line phone, far away from Hollywood at his home in Pennsylvania. Night, it seems to me, does an excellent job of removing himself from the showbiz fray, bringing to his work a single-minded concentration worthy of a director who might just turn out to be Hollywood Nation’s first filmbender.

There’s been a lively back and forth on message boards about whether Jake Gyllenhaal can make the difference in Prince of Persia: Sands of Time by transforming it into that rarest of cinematic phenomena: a great action film based on a video game (cough — Uwe Boll — cough). And while I agree that one [...]

Below is an essay/document I wrote for Ralph in the early stages of the film’s development about why Coriolanus might matter to a contemporary audience, beyond it’s sheer drama and entertainment. He wanted to share it with you guys. Enjoy. Check back in later in the week when I’ll be talking to him about his [...]

Randy Couture talks about his most difficult UFC fights (Sylvia and Rizzo), and lets us know about the devastation he exacts on the set of The Expendables (body count of 26).

Before I go into Coriolanus’ characters and the on-set action, I thought you’d appreciate a closer look at some of the key cast and crew involved in the film. I spoke to Ralph last week and he told me a bit about why he’s chosen them, and I thought I’d give you some background on [...]

Synopsis of Shakespeare’s Coriolanus, directed and starring Ralph Fiennes

One main reason I’m such a fan of Joe Johnston is that he makes visually fantastical films while never losing sight of a clear, entertaining story line with characters that ring true. In Part 2 of my exclusive interview with Joe, I talked to him about the combination of VFX and practical effects, the overuse [...]

This Valentine’s Day, I suggest you snuggle close to a warm companion who has soft hair and loves being out in the moonlight, someone who can disembowel you, decapitate you, and tear you limb from limb as quickly as you can say, “Roses are Red.” As sick as it sounds, this is the very loved [...]
