This tweet from Production Weekly names Javier Bardem and James Franco as potential [...]

Share/BookmarkYet another computer-animated kids film has brought in the big bucks at the US box office this past weekend. The Will Ferrell/Brad Pitt starring Megamind has brought in an estimated $47.7 million.

The intriguingly monikered [...]
Share/BookmarkThere’s a recognisable sheen to the slew of CG heavy action movies out this year, something in the glint and glitter of it all, from the Owls of Ga’hoole to the neon network of Tron, through Zack Snyder’s Sucker Punch and its unapologetic visual riot via the annual Potterfest and now with this new trailer [...]

Share/BookmarkSince when did Halle Berry become the recipient of so many botched plastic surgery ops?

Actually, you can all relax. It’s [...]
Share/BookmarkThere is another 80’s film due to receive the remake treatment, although this one is probably not as obvious a choice to the batch we’ve witnessed so far this year. Deadline are reporting that a new version of Troma classic The Toxic Avenger is currently in development. It’s been touted as an environmentally-conscious action-comedy and [...]
Share/BookmarkRandall Wallace (whose current racehorse biopic Secretariat can be found clinging onto a place in the US box office top ten) has another film in the works already.

Share/BookmarkI don’t know about you, but I do my best to avoid anything Christmassy until December 1st.
