Russia Gives Us New “The Thing” Poster & Trailer

The Thing Russian

I really don’t know what to make of The Thing. It’s a prequel with the same name as the film it is supposed to precede, John Carpenter’s sci-fi/horror classic casts a loooong shadow, yet the trailers and clips so far look pretty effective and the creature effects in particular leave me cautiously optimistic. Certainly what [...]

Sarah Jessica Parker Talks Down SATC Prequel – Talks Up Future Sequel

Thanks to a lukewarm box-office performance and a near-universal mauling from critics, it looked like Carrie Bradshaw’s reign of bad punnage was mercifully over. A recent flurry of rumours, however, suggest that those involved are reluctant to let this once-hot property go.

Missing presumed dead: have you seen this man? Answers to the name of Freddy Krueger. Recognisable by his scarred face, stripy jumper and blade encrusted glove.

Sylvester Stallone has tipped that John Rambo might return. During a fan-letter-interview hosted by Aint It Cool News, Stallone admitted to entertaining the notion of a prequel to First Blood, the first Rambo movie. I certainly think this is worth pondering because it’s intriguing to find the whys and wherefores of how people have come [...]

The prequel to John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’ is definitely an intriguing idea and one that every fan of the original movie must be curious about as we get to see what happened in the events that led to them Norwegian chaps chasing the dog at the start of the 1982 classic. It’s currently filming in [...]




David Yates to Take Over The Hobbit?

More Hobbit news for those keeping track of this quagmired film.
