Almost every aspect of Citizen Kane has been lauded, analysed and replicated to the point that it’s almost become a cliché of a film. At the same time the infamous War of The Worlds radio broadcast, and the (no doubt overstated) ensuing widespread panic at impending alien invasion, have become a leading urban legend. While Orson [...]
Another name has been added to the cast list for the remake of famed Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi actioner, Total Recall, and the actor in question represents perhaps a slightly unusual (but very welcome) presence to the film. Former Generation X heartthrob and Richard Linklater regular Ethan Hawke is down for a small, cameo part which [...]
Out on DVD and Blu-ray this week is Derek Cianfrance’s Blue Valentine, an exacting, achingly distressing look at the complexity of a marriage and its steady dissolve. The narrative unfolds in a non-linear fashion over two timelines as it tracks the burgeoning romance between Dean (Gosling) and Cindy (Williams), and its eventual breakdown. The action [...]
A few days ago we ran a short piece on the Polish poster for the beautiful end of the world epic from Lars Von Trier, Melancholia. Today we have more from the film, again from Poland as one of the effects houses working on the film have placed a show reel online. When Von Trier [...]
Following the news that Wes Bentley has been added to the cast of The Hunger Games, the forthcoming film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ popular novel of the same name, another brilliant actor has signed on to star in the form of Stanley Tucci, Deadline reports.

The film will be the English language debut of Chilean writer/director Sebastián Silva, who wrote and directed 2009’s Golden Globe Award-winning film, The Maid (La Nana). Magic, [...]
The forth Pirates of the Caribbean saga must have proved to be a rewarding creative experience for star Johnny Depp and newcomer to the series, Nine director Rob Marshall. Both are attached to the remake of 1934 comedy-mystery, The Thin Man. The Wrap is reporting that the actor will play the part of Nick Charles, [...]
The new poster for Marcus Nispel’s Conan the Barbarian is an exercise is kicking subtlety in the groin with a steel toe-capped sledgehammer, but it’s certainly preferable to another floating face collage. The recent trailer seemed to confirm expectations that this retelling of the Conan tale will be full of violence and growling, which is [...]
Lynne Ramsay’s adapatation of the accalimed Lionel Shriver novel We Need to Talk About Kevin unveils itself in the next few weeks as part of the 64th Cannes Film Festival and looks certain to bring the controversial and bleak story to the screen with style. Certainly the nature of the novel and its subject matter [...]
Yesterday before the Pirates of the Caribbean screening, Disney chose to show us the full theatrical version of the trailer for Real Steel which they are distributing for Dreamworks.

Catherine Hardwicke, the director previously responsible for adapting Twilight and the Red Riding Hood fairytale for cinema audiences, appears to have taken a hiatus from supernatural teen romances; with the news that she is to adapt Martha O’Connor’s 2006 “The Bitch Posse” demonstrating a greater grounding in reality. The novel, which follows a trio of high school friends [...]
He’s the first peek at the promotional banner for the new TV adaptation of cult 80’s coming-of-age flick, Teen Wolf, and judging by the image and tagline here (Love. Be Afraid), we’re looking at a very different beast to the Michael J. Fox comedy. It would appear that the light, playful tone of the original [...]
I had no idea until Brendon from Bleeding Cool told me yesterday that Kermit the Frog is 56 years old! He celebrated his birthday yesterday and then I come home from watching Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides to find this video showing Kermit the Frog interviewing the stars of the movie and it’s [...]

The fourth installment of the Disney/Bruckheimer Pirates of the Caribbean is days away from its Cannes debut and we are under strict embargo not to divulge our opinion of the film so we’re bringing you something a little more unusual. The Legoisation (which should be a word) of popular franchises has the power to breathe [...]

In a recent post at Movies.com entitled ‘Dear 3D, Please Die Already (Again)’, Scott Weinberg (a writer whose thoughts on film I generally agree with) bemoaned the current trend of 3D films filling multiplexes. His piece taps into a number of opinions about 3D that seem very common right now and whilst I’m not exactly [...]
Attack the Block is a movie I’ve wanted to see ever since it screened in London a couple of weeks ago. It’s the first feature film by Director Joe Cornish who you may know from Adam and Joe fame and is Executive Produced by none other than Edgar Wright. This evening’s screening took place at [...]

Final Destination 5 stars Nicholas D’Agosto, Emma Bell, Miles Fisher, Arlen Escarpeta, David Koechner, Tony Todd, Courtney B. Vance, P.J. Byrne, Ellen [...]
This is really nothing more than a brief look at Benjamin Walker as the 16th President of the United States in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter and while several of the assembled do seem as if they are moments away from taking their own first steps in the life beyond it’s a fairly sedate first look [...]
