September 5, 2010 · View Comments
It was confirmed on Thursday that Angelina Jolie had declined the offer to star in Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, leaving the casting directors, and indeed, Warner Bros. executives, with a bit of a headache. The lead actress needs to be able to carry an $80 million sci-fi film, as they’ll be the only person on screen for much of the running time, so Warner Bros. and Cuarón need to make the right choice to ensure their investment is worthwhile. Latino Review are reporting that Gravity producers are interested in meeting with Rachel Weisz to take on the role. Though nothing has been confirmed,... [Read the full story]

The Art of Drew Struzan Book Review
September 2, 2010 · View Comments
I came home last week to find a large package on my doorstep. I get sent a lot of review discs and I had no idea what this one was. To my wonderful surprise it turned out to be a book that I was very much looking forward to seeing – The Art of Drew Struzan which is being published by Titan Books.

This geek sanctuary, complete with projector, also doubles as a screening room where he hosts regular screenings of the films. Dale has been a fan of cinema... [Read the full story]
