Robocop, Still on Hold, Still Going Nowhere

posted 02-11-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Don’t worry everyone. Darren Aronofsky is still attached to the Robocop reboot. With him, comes David Self. Both are still trying very hard to bring you a quality Robocop movie, and they most likely will fail. Even as we speak, the studio is trying to force the Robocop movie into 3-D, something that Aronofsky certain [...]

Akira Comes Back?

posted 02-11-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

What’s with all these dead movie projects resurrecting themselves? No self respecting anime fan wants to see a live action Akira movie. Doesn’t matter though, because Book of Eli directors Allen and Albert Hughes are gonna direct it anyway. The plan, now, is to do two films, the first based on the first three issues [...]

Escape From New York Remake Moves Forward

posted 02-11-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Allan Loeb has been hard at work rewriting the script for the new remake of Escape From New York, a movie that we aren’t entirely sure anyone wants to see. Supposedly, he was having a hard time depicting Manhattan as a destroyed maximum security prison. The compromise? Manhattan is no longer destroyed or a prison. [...]

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Locke & Key is a graphic novel about a mysterious house in Massachusetts … yeah we haven’t heard of it either, but still Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci could do a decent job with it. They seem to be doing just about every movie under the sun these days. [Latino Review]

You know, it makes us feel good to know that Twilight was just a stepping stone for Taylor Lautner. Now he can move on from his emo werewolf role and take roles we really respect … like Stretch Armstrong! Lautner has been cast as the lead in the confusing but childlike toy adaptation. Supposedly he [...]

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Captain America casting rumors are a dime a dozen these days, but this one in particular caught our eye. It’s Ryan McPartin, the man who plays Captain Awesome on NBC’s Chuck. We do know that McPartin has auditioned for the role, along with many other actors, so now we just have to wait and see. [...]

Saw and Paranormal Activity, Two Great Flavors Together at Last!

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

James Wan and Leigh Whannell were the original creators of the Saw franchise. They threw together a great horror movie premise for mere pennies and shocked everyone. Now, they aren’t involved with the Saw franchise anymore, and are supposedly looking for another chance to do something creative. In comes Oren Peli, Jason Blum, and Steven [...]

Red Skull Is Captain America’s Villain

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

The Nazis are everywhere, especially in the new Captain America movie. Red Skull, the most classic villain that no one really knows about, will be the main antagonist. More interesting is the fact that the majority of the movie will take place during WWII. This is what Joe Johnston had to say about that. “Virtually [...]

The Thing Gains Winstead and Edgerton

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton will both star in Universal’s The Thing, a remake of the classic movie about a shape-shifting alien that terrorizes everyone, for no reason other than to be a gigantic douche-bag we suspect. Winstead will play a researcher in Antarctica who finds the alien ship, while Edgerton will play a [...]

Buried Writer Fools Around With ATMs

Christ Sparling, the genius who wrote a script about Ryan Reynolds buried alive in Iraq, is moving on with another crazy idea, a movie about a mad dash to the ATM in which the lives of his main character lie in the balance. We have no idea who is going on! We do know that [...]

Westerns Come Back Bringing Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

So it turns out that Gunsmoke is being made into a movie. Not bad, not bad. There are certainly worse movie concepts than a western about a Kansas lawman. Two big names that are looking for the lead are Brad Pitt and Ryan Reynolds, more proof that Ryan Reynolds has to be in everything cool, [...]

Planet of the Apes Damns You All to B-Movie-dom

posted 02-08-10 by Angelo D'Argenio

None of us are really looking forward to the Planet of the Apes prequel. It’s useless and unneeded and pretty much just another attempt to cash in on a movie that was good back in the day. It turns out that most of Hollywood’s directors are with us on this one, because no one will [...]
