Will Smith Has The Idea For Hancock 2

Hancock

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 [...]

Explosive Effects As Buildings Collapse In New Japanese Trailer For Battleship

Battleship US Poster

Peter Berg’s return behind the camera for a feature film is one that I’ve been waiting a while for, and settling on the Battleship project, the film adaptation of the Hasbro board game, was definitely an interesting choice that a lot of people were surprised by. The concept in itself seemed a little unimaginable. But [...]

I’ve been looking forward to this one for a long while now although after watching this, I’m not sure what I think!

MGM Roars Again With Robocop & Poltergeist?

Robocop

Now that MGM has returned to a more secure footing courtesy of a $500m capital injection last year, they are finding the time to properly trawl through all of their various “stuck in limbo” projects to see what can be dusted off and shocked back to life. MGM has already come on board with Paramount [...]

Will Another Adaptation of Dune Bite the Dust?

Dune Sandworm

The journey from page to screen for popular works of fiction has always proved a challenging one, and classic sci-fi tale Dune is no exception. Deadline is reporting that Paramount (the studio who currently has the rights to Frank Herbert’s best-selling novel) will be done with the material by next spring if it hasn’t managed [...]

Liam Neeson Climbs on Board “Battleship”

Liam Neeson

We’ve been bringing you all manner of casting news of late for “Battleship”, the Universal blockbuster, loosely (and I mean loosely) based on the Hasbro board game. Whereas the board game requires you to guess where your opponents ships are located and try to sink them, the Peter Berg-directed film is about a global alien invasion [...]

The First Images of Rihanna in Battleship Appear

Rihanna - Battleship

Basing an entire movie around a board-game could be a genius idea or it could be shooting yet here we have the first images of Rihanna filming the new movie, Battleship based around the Hasbro board-game about blowing up other ships on D4, A8 and C1. Exciting stuff! It’s being directed by Peter Berg and [...]

Battleship Film To Cost $200 Million Or More

Battleship

Universal’s Battleship movie has been raising a few industry eyebrows this week as it is expected to cost in excess of $200 million to make. The studio doesn’t seem to be taking any of the usual measures to counteract the cost, this not being a sequel or having any big names attached to star. The [...]

Alexander Skarsgard Goes Naval Gazing In Battleship

alexander skarsgard

Whether or not you buy into the notion of a film based on a board game, Peter Berg’s Battleship is taking shape, adding the curious twist of an alien invasion into the mix. Taylor Kitsch has already jumped on board and now HeatVision are adding a new name to the cast list, one which will [...]

Renner to Sink Battleships, Fly with Raven

jeremy renner

Jeremy Renner was a surprising, though thoroughly justified, inclusion of the list of nominations for the Best Actor Oscar and it seems the world and his casting dog are lining up to pull Renner in front of their cameras. Peter Berg’s (Aliens Vs)Battleships, the board game movie which still shatters credulity, is circling the man [...]

Pierre Morel to Take Dune to Big Screen

Pierre Morel

Bringing Frank Herbert’s Dune to the big screen has proved consistently problematic, not least how to condense the epic spice swiping saga into an audience friendly running time but finding the right creative team is always a challenge – if David Lynch can’t do it then I don’t know who can… Paramount Pictures think they [...]

Aliens Sunk my Battleship!

Peter Berg Battleship

I do wonder what the meeting at Universal Studios with Peter Berg and the Hoeber brothers must have been like as they were discussing their ideas to make a movie based on the extremely simple pencil and paper game Battleship… with aliens being the antagonists! Just in case there is anybody out there who doesn’t [...]
