The L.A. Times are reporting that one of cinema’s most inventive creative forces are pitching a new project to financiers and whenever Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze are mentioned in the same sentence I’m immediately interested. The past few years have been good for the pair with Synecdoche, New York marking a solid directorial debut [...]

80s action legend Chuck Norris is on a “wish list” for the sequel to The Expendables according to one of the film’s stars.

While I’m surprised it took this long for set pics to arrive, photos from Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey and Carla Gugino, have finally hit the net. The film has been shooting on and off in New York City for about the past two months now and it truly amazes me that these are [...]
As if we weren’t excited enough about Marvel vs Capcom 3 as it was, this brilliantly bonkers new trailer has arrived. Combining the best of the non-sensical worlds, the CGI teaser packs in the game’s unequivocal awesomeness, with Magneto, X-23, The Hulk, Ghost & Goblins’ Sir arthur, Resident Evil’s Wesker and Chris, and – brilliantly [...]
I’m not going to throw too many disparaging comments at this film before seeing it, but I can’t help but get a Garfield-like sinking in my stomach when I see the images and trailers for the new Smurfs movie. The cartoons series of The Smurfs had its charm but CG those blue things into the [...]
As 2010 draws to a close and the year’s films are placed into Top Tens and Best Of lists, it’s always good to take an alternative perspective on a year in cinema. To this end HeyUGuys presents for your edification our movie awards – The Truffles. We asked our writers to sift through the movie [...]
Looks like the Torchwood team are calling on the services of a US President who once saved the world from potential genocide due to a powerful alien threat. Deadline are reporting that Independence Day star Bill Pullman is joining the cast of the Dr. Who spin-off in the reoccurring role of one Oswald Jones, a [...]
Since the day the Kinect became available commercially, the internet’s been awash with nifty, ingenious ways to hack and mod it. So it was surely only a matter of time before some clever/creepy clogs used the motion controller for their own disturbing devices. By manipulating the open source PC drivers released for the system, someone [...]
Yesterday I got to speak to a lady who has worked on 46 different movies but for the most part, you won’t actually know it’s her on screen! The lady in question is Kimberly Shannon Murphy who has played stunt double to the likes of Amber Heard, Monica Bellucci and more recently, Cameron Diaz in [...]
We’ve seen pics, posters and a pretty nice trailer already for Greg Mottola’s sci-fi comedy Paul and following yesterday’s new poster there’s a new trailer out today to get excited over. It’s indicative of their success, with Edgar Wright in particular, that seeing Nick Frost and Simon Pegg back on screen together is such a [...]

Sad news tonight as we’ve learned that Blake Edwards, director of Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 10 and the Pink Panther series, has died at the age of 88 following complications of pneumonia. He was an accomplished director of physical comedy and you can see the influence of his love for the likes of Chaplin, Keaton and [...]
It seems a little impolite to keep posting about the curious casting for Alfonso Cuaron’s troubled spacebound disaster movie Gravity, but following what could have been the death knell for the project the vacant spot for the leading man has been filled. Robert Downey Jr. was a mainstay in the film’s preparation while various A-List [...]
It’s been over 13 years ago since Nicholas Cage uttered that immortal line “Put the bunny in the box!” in nutty, yet incredibly entertaining action epic Con Air. /Film is running a story that the actor is teaming up again with Simon West (the director of that 1997 feature) for Medallion, which is the tale [...]
Here’s a new poster for The King’s Speech, the much anticipated royal period biopic from Tom Hooper, director of last year’s The Damned United. Colin Firth has been highly praised for his role of King George VI of Britain, who employs a speech therapist to help overcome his stammer. Geoffrey Rush (who plays said therapist) [...]
With Red Dead Redemption proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Rockstar aren’t a one trick GTA pony, there’s massive anticipation in the lead up to their next project, L.A.Noire. And this behind the scenes featurette does nothing to lessen the excitement. The 1940s set gangster/detective thriller displays Rockstar’s obvious care and attention to [...]

The idea is [...]
