The trailer for Tarsem (it’s ok to use my surname now) Singh’s new take on the Snow White fairytale, Mirror, Mirror, has drawn derision from some in the blogosphere, and now fans of another beloved fantasy property may be perturbed to learn of his future plans.

Tower Heist Review

Tower Heist Image 9

In the face of it, Tower Heist is the kind of production which usually sends alarm bells ringing. ‘A Brett Ratner Film’ hardly causes a surge of excitement amongst cinema-going folk, and co-lead (and co-producer) Eddie Murphy’s track record of late has been patchy to say the least. Even Ben Stiller has squandered some of [...]

Ben Stiller is now Being Lined up to Rentaghost

ben stiller

For those of you who can remember the kids BBC series called Rentaghost (it ran from 1976-84) the idea of a Hollywood remake was a surreal enough to begin with, even with Britain’s very own US import Russell Brand in the lead. But now news from Deadline has Ben Stiller taking over from the comic, [...]

Tower Heist TV Spot

tower heist logo

There’s no knowing how this one will turn given it’s turbulet pre-production and the reputation the director brings with him, however the trailer we saw recently makes Brett Ratner’s Tower Heist look better than expected. If the two big leads have something decent to work with then having Ben Stiller and Eddie Murphy heading this [...]

Tower Heist Gains Po-Faced New Posters

Tower Heist Large

With director Brett Ratner and co-star Eddie Murphy involved in the Oscars® ceremony as producer and newly announced host respectively, Tower Heist’s profile cannot help but have been raised. Whether it needed the boost or not, that boost must surely be in effect for what in all fairness already looks for all the world to [...]

Tower Heist Trailer Two

Tower Heist

Here’s another slick trailer for the new Brett Ratner film Tower Heist, which pulls off a mighty feat in taking a fairly hokey premise (big shot moneyman rips off the hotel staff in the building in which he is under house arrest leading them to steal their money back, you know – that old story) [...]

In Defence Of… Rubbish Comic Book Threequels

Superman 3

Having constructed a thorough and persuasive defence of the Master of Mayhem himself, Michael Bay, I now shift my attention to a topic at once broader and more problematic. Can the trend for inferior and poor comic book threequels be excused, forgiven, explained, or even challenged as a myth? Read on… I recognise that I am [...]

Roman Polanski

Having finished work on “Carnage”, Roman Polanski (Knife in the Water, Chinatown, Rosemary’s Baby) is apparently looking around for his next project, with Focus Features hoping to hook him for “True Crime”. True Crime is based on an article for The New Yorker by David Grann about a true-life long-unsolved murder case in Poland. The [...]

First Look at Stiller, Murphy & Co. in ‘Tower Heist’

Tower Heist

It has been quite some time since Tower Heist was filming in NYC which is why I am surprised it has taken this long to get an image from the film.  Recently, Entertainment Weekly has published the first official photo from the film which features a majority of the all star cast staking out their [...]

Tea Leoni Joins Stiller & Murphy in “Tower Heist”

Tea Leoni

We already knew that Ben Stiller had signed on for “Tower Heist”, a con-artist swindle film set in New York’s Trump Tower. At that point it seemed that Stiller might be due to replace Eddie Murphy, appearing alongside Chris Rock and Chris Tucker. We then confirmed in August that Brett Ratner would direct and brought [...]

Alan Alda

The man from M*A*S*H and all-round beloved TV and film actor, Alan Alda, has signed up to appear in two films for Universal. Alda (now a sprightly 74!) is showing no signs of retirement as The Hollywood Reporter brings news that he’s signed up for co-starring duties on both the Ben Stiller action film Heist [...]

Jean-Pierre Jeunet to Direct Natalie Portman in a Snow White Reimagining?

Snow White

It was revealed back in June that Melisa Wallack had penned an edgy re-imagining of Snow White, with Relativity Media and Brett Ratner (X-Men, Rush Hour) announced at producers. It seems the potential film has received some attention from two big names: Natalie Portman (Black Swan, Closer) and Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Micmacs, Amelie). Pajiba are reporting [...]
