By far one of the most prolific people working in film at the moment, James Franco is one of those people who seems to love delving into everything he can, working as a writer, director, and actor, as well as a producer and novelist, to name just two other strings in his bow. One of [...]
James Franco has been making some puzzling decisions recently and by decisions I mean one in particular. Earlier this year he signed up to work with Harmony Korine who amongst other things wrote and directed the all too literally titled Trash Humpers, a film in which men in prosthetic old man masks hump trash in [...]
Previously known as Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse, Seth Rogen and Jay Baruchel’s horror comedy The Apocalypse has been a long time coming. Back in 2007, the comedy pair starred in the short film with the original title, and it was awesome. Since then, the project has been slowly moving forward to turn it [...]
Until last year, I’d never heard of the name Linda Lovelace, but the casting for the upcoming biopic surrounding her life, entitled Lovelace, seems to have been getting better and better over the past few months. Amanda Seyfried will be starring as the eponymous Linda Lovelace, described in real life as the world’s first porn [...]
With Rise of the Planet of the Apes there was a risk that Fox were returning to a tainted well once too often, with the series still in the doldrums following the much-derided Tim Burton adaptation of the original story ten years ago. Yet the studio’s faith in British director Rupert Wyatt proves well placed, [...]

Evans will star opposite Ray Liotta (Identity), Michael Shannon (Take Shelter), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Sherrybaby), David Schwimmer and Ryan O’Nan (The Dry Land) in [...]
James Franco, who spent 2011 saving Zooey Deschanel and rather helplessly watching apes rise, has signed on to appear in Harmony Korine’s upcoming indie film Spring Breakers. According to Variety (via Collider), the plot centres on four college girls who are caught robbing a fast food restaurant in the lead up to Spring Break. Billed as “a [...]
Ben has just come out of an interview with Seth Rogen for his new movie, 50/50 which is set to play at this years London Film Festival. In the interview, Seth spoke about the movie that he’s been trying to get off the ground for some time which had the title, Jay and Seth vs. [...]
At the start of the week, we got the fantastic news that Seth Rogen had confirmed that James Franco and Jonah Hill, both long-time collaborators of Rogen’s, would be joining the cast of the long-awaited short-turned-feature-film, Jay and Seth vs. The Apocalypse. Now, in an interview with MTV, he’s confirmed that, along with himself, Jay [...]
Here’s one for Orange customers and information on how you can get the Orange Film to Go this week. Every week, Orange will be doing their Film Night Live which is an online web streaming Q&A to coincide with the movie that they are giving away for nothing (I can’t use the word ‘free’ but [...]
Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse has been a long time coming, and you just know it’s going to be a freaking sweet film when it finally gets here. The idea for the film first gained attention back in 2007 when a short film/trailer for the forthcoming feature film was released, and it was pretty [...]
As Rise of the Planet of the Apes throws a banana at The Smurfs Movie to claim the number one spot at the box office on its opening weekend, we bring you a conversation with director Rupert Wyatt, and visual effects supervisor Dan Lemmon where they discuss how they managed to capture Andy Serkis’ on [...]

The answer to the first question will be revealed tomorrow on the official UK Rise of the Planet of the Apes [...]

Here’s another new featurette from Twentieth Century Fox’s new movie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes and this time we get to find out about how they cast the apes. This featurette coincides very nicely with the WETA interviews which I put up recently. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is directed by [...]
In a bid to make Planet of the Apes look like a Michael Bay movie, the Indian marketing department at Twentieth Century Fox have decided to give us lots of head-shots, helicopters and destruction! What’s not to like! Doesn’t really fit in with the rest of the UK and US marketing campaigns though does it! [...]
We loved Rise of the Planet of the Apes . A surprising amount in fact – we called it the ‘surprise hit of the summer’ and we meant every one of those words. It’s out on the 11th of August and we have various other competitions running for this film but none quite like this… [...]
Over the past few years, we’ve seen effects house, WETA do some simply amazing things inside a computer to create some of the mos astonishing visually amazing movies ever. They have been responsible for effects in movies including King Kong, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and most recently, some movie that you may have [...]
We are firmly in blockbuster season, and in a time when the common wisdom has it that you are encouraged to switch off your brain to enjoy what’s on offer there comes a film about the power of intelligence.
