After four remakes/reboots in a row (including this summer’s Conan the Barbarian) Marcus Nispel’s next feature will not only be an original story, but it’s also based on his own idea. Entitled Backmask (and budgeted at a relatively low $10 million), little is known about the project, apart from the director revealing that is will [...]
It’s easy to become blinded by the shine from its multiple awards but the Blu-ray and DVD release of The King’s Speech is an opportunity to enjoy Tom Hooper’s excellent film again, and it’s an opportunity well worth taking. The film tells the story of the ascension of King George VI to the throne and [...]
Following up from the brilliant first trailer of the film last week and the great set of character posters earlier last month, Collider has got a new picture of Henry Cavill as Theseus in Tarsem Singh’s upcoming film, Immortals.

The Playlist is showing the first picture of Brad Pitt in the upcoming film, Cogan’s Trade, adapted by writer/director Andrew Dominik from the 1974 novel of the same name by George V. Higgins.

During a roundtable junket with Martin Sheen for The Way, Sheen went on some fantastic tangents and rather than include them in our coverage of the The Way interviews (which can be found here) we’ve instead collected them here.

It’s impressive really, that Top Spin has been able to muscle its way onto gaming’s Centre Court over the years. Virtua Tennis, since its very first incarnation, has managed to bottle the irresistibly entertaining lightning captured within what is – for all intents and purposes – Pong on Steroids. So 12 years after its not-too-shabby [...]
“Are your parents home?” “Yes, but they don’t live here”.

Well, now you can [...]
