John Cusack continues his trend of juggling the more serious pictures with lighter fare with news from Variety that he is set to headline a “screwball comedy of manners” called Dictablanda (Soft Dictator). The Hot Tub Time Machine star is also producing the flick through his company, and has co-written the script with Kevin Morris [...]
On Thursday, The Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley, London played host to an evening showcasing the surreal and esoteric talents of one Crispin Hellion Glover. The 46-year-old actor/filmmaker will be immediately recognisable to many as Marty McFly’s weedy, put-upon father in Back to the Future, and as the creepy and silent henchman in the film [...]
There 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 [...]
It looks like robots are fast becoming the new vampire for Hollywood. Hugh Jackman has robot/human boxing drama (?) Real Steel on the way, Steven Spielberg is planning an adaptation of the novel Robopocalypse, and now Jack Black and Hot Tub Time Machine director Steve Pink have bought the rights to How To Survive A [...]

Dubbed ‘Back to The Future’ meets ‘The Hangover’, Hot Tub Time Machine finally hits UK cinemas this week to quantum leap audiences back to 1986 with an almighty flash, bang and whollop of 80s nostalgia! US audiences were privy to this back in March, so now it’s our turn to catch up on MGM’s latest [...]
Last year’s surprise comedy movie was The Hangover and I have a strong suspicion that Hot Tub Time Machine may be the one to watch in 2010. I got to see the movie when I was over in the States for Wondercon (before the Ash Cloud of Death Struck) and I absolutely loved it. There [...]
It’s another packed podcast for you this week, as we orally assault the week’s top films and movie news. I’m joined by /Film’s Brendon Connelly and HeyUGuys writer Andy Petrou as we talk through John Cusack’s forthcoming nostalgia laced comedy Hot Tub Time Machine and work our way around Sandra Bullock’s Oscar winning turn in [...]
If you’ve listened to the HeyUGuys Mouth Off podcasts about nostalgia this week (here and here), or indeed followed the news of endless remakes and franchises in development over the last year, you know the eighties are very current right now. Periods always come back in vogue, and we look back fondly at the great times [...]
If the Red Band trailer for John Cusack’s next toe-dip into more commercial waters, Hot Tub Time Machine, got you in the mood for some 80s Quantum Leaping then check out the poster that you’ll see adorning bus stops in the run up to its release. I like this poster. There’s a simplicity to it [...]
Bill and Ted did it in a phone booth, Marty and Doc in a DeLorean. Rod Taylor sat in a MacGyver-esque bucket of Victoriana and now John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson and Clark Duke are travelling through time in a hot tub. And they say originality is dead. After a drunken night in the [...]
