We Don’t Want A Dimestore Captain America!
These last few days have seen the internet do a madness over the casting process for Joe Johnston’s Captain America. A list of potential candidates was doing the rounds, that list was apparently cut down, and then John Krasinski was supposedly on the verge of being announced for the part.

The Key To Alice’s Big Box Office… Timing…
I predicted in my preview ten days ago that Alice in Wonderland would draw big box office. No, it wasn’t exactly a bold prediction, and it was clear to everyone that a lot of money was going to be spent on Alice. I don’t think, however, that anyone could have predicted just how much money [...]

The star of About a Boy and Channel 4’s Skins Nicholas Hoult has been cast in George Miller’s Mad Max 4: Fury Road.
