2008’s Hancock is by far one of my favourite superhero films of all time, making this news one of the best things I’ve heard in some time. Rumours of a sequel have been circling pretty much since the film was released, especially when you take into account a) the immense potential it has for a [...]
We’ve already seen respected filmmakers like Martin Scorsese, Alexander Payne and Michael Mann lend their considerable talents to the small screen, and now none other than Ethan and Joel Coen will be joining those celebrated names. Collider is reporting that the quirky siblings are to executive produce the oddly-titled HarveKarbo for Ron Howard and Brian [...]
When I wrote about this film back in February of 2010 it was to announce the casting of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, then fresh from his Watchmen duties. I hadn’t seen anything other than the general synopsis for the film and drew a comparison with Zodiac, something that this new trailer appears to compound. Morgan teams [...]
All is very much busy on the remake front with news from Deadline that director Mimi Leder has chosen her next big budget project – a new adaptation of famed World War One novel, All Quiet on the Western Front. The story (which was turned into a 1930 Oscar-winning film, and remade again as a [...]

The brilliant writer/director, Michael Mann, is looking to direct an upcoming thriller, Gold, THR reports. And I think the fact that Mann is interested enough in the script to want to direct it pretty much guarantees it’s something we should all already be very much looking forward to. I know I am. Mann will be [...]
It’s been almost 5 years since actor-turned-director Todd Field’s second feature, Little Children, was released to almost universal acclaim, and now, after a couple of false starts (one of which was an adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian), it looks like he finally has a project ready to go. Indie Wire has revealed that a [...]
This is an tasty piece of pre-production news which could be a potential game-changer for the world of 3D. During an electronics convention in Las Vegas (on a panel with fellow filmmakers Michael Mann and Oliver Stone) Aussie auteur Baz Luhrmann revealed that he has workshopped his upcoming project The Great Gatsby in 3D. The [...]
Michael Mann seems to have settled on his next cinema feature, having chosen one of the possible projects he’s had in development for the last few months. He will be tackling the crime story Big Tuna, which is a biopic of Chicago mob boss Tony Accardo and his protégé who eventually replaced him, Sam Giancana. Mann [...]
Though Michael Mann’s recent Public Enemies didn’t light fires at the box office it was an enjoyable period piece with Johnny Depp and Marion Cotillard doing a lot of the hard work. We reported back in July that Sky were to bring many of HBO’s series to the UK, and this included Luck, which had [...]

Easily one of the most impressive and charismatic of the Watchmen performances came from Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian, and his star continues to rise with a number of interesting projects including The Losers and the recently announced, Unblinking Eye. Today we’ve learned from Bloody Disgusting that Morgan will team up with another breakout [...]
“I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars and you. What else do you need to know?“ Public Enemies is Michael Mann’s first venture into true-life territory since 1999′s The Insider. He has long been a master of slick fictionalised crime – his CV is a roll call of criminal capers and cops. The first [...]
Last night Leicester Square played host to the UK premiere of Michael Mann’s Public Enemies. This afternoon we were delighted to attend a screening and press conference for the film. We’ll post a full review later but, assuming this doesn’t class as a spoiler, what we can divulge is that the glowing reports you have [...]
Michael Mann is a man who obviously loves John Dillinger. He has passion for someone “so current and contemporary for his time” that he studied evasive techniques, employed the latest automatic weaponry and drove the fastest cars to be the very best in the short span of his notorious final days. Who “exploded out of prison [...]
Johnny Depp’s first action, before taking his seat in front of the Public Enemies press conference, is a horrified double take at the poster behind him ““ at his own looming presence in particular: “That’s a bit too large!” In person, he is charismatic and charged with nervous energy. His voice by contrast is careful, [...]
