Here we go again people! It’s Hollywood yet again admitting defeat when it comes to original ideas as we hear news that Alcon is to remake 1991 movie Point Break directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Patrick Swayze and Keanu Reeves. I guess there is no way you can go wrong with an FBI agent [...]
I enjoyed Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns but can see why it received a thorough critical kicking on its release, and now there’s a little more of Singer’s Supes to enjoy/hate. For all it did right, and I hold to the opinion that it did quite a lot of things right, it disappointed a lot of [...]
Ressurecting the ThunderCats series from its 80s heyday may seem like an odd move for Warner Bros and the Cartoon Network, but we’re only a month away from the hour long premiere of the new animated series. We’ve seen a trailer which catered broadly to entice those not old enough to remember the twenty five [...]
Do you remember The Wolfman? Take a moment to jog your memory. Fight as you must the subsequent months of repression, along with every other coping mechanism your brain has thrown at it in order to dampen the crushing disappointment and rampant butt-cramp that escorted Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt into your life. The [...]
Wonder, Wonder, WonderCon! HOOOOOOOOOO! This weekend, WonderCon 2011 took place in San Francisco. We were there last year but unfortunately didn’t make it this time and I wish we had so that I could have seen this brand new footage from the ThunderCats animated series which they showed in one of the panels. This is [...]
Time Bandits, the 1981 fantasy from director Terry Gilliam, has been lined up against the remake wall and fingers are tightening on the triggers. Collider pointed us to this Variety article which details the plans a number of ex-Handmade Films executives have for Time Bandits and a TV series based around The Long Good Friday [...]
According to Deadline, Disney have plans to reboot Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple character for the big screen. Usually portrayed as a dottled old woman, Miss Marple appeared in twelve of Christie’s crime novels as an amateur detective who solved mysteries her local police force couldn’t with an unmatched understanding of human behaviour. Adapted for the [...]
A reboot of Thundercats has been on the cards for some time now, whether it be the rumoured live action adaptation or another animated movie albeit one in a different style to the original series. I must admit that it has been quite some time since I’ve revisited the original series or the spin off [...]
Warner Bros today finally confirmed what fans of Joss Whedon’s plucky vampire slayer have long suspected/feared, and that is the finger poised above the Reboot button has now found its mark and a new Buffy will battle Sunnydale’s undead. The L.A. Times spoke with the woman charged with the not inconsiderable task of following fanboy [...]
Collider has reported and confirmed that director Christian E. Christiansen would not be taking the reins of Dimension’s Hellraiser reboot. Instead, Pinhead will be returning to the screen under the guidance of Patrick Lussier and the pen of Todd Farmer. The two men frequently collaborate on films such as the upcoming Cage flick, Drive Angry 3D, [...]
There are a variety of reasons why I love Legendary Pictures. They are a private financing company that said screw the big players, we’ll make the movies that the public wants to see which has resulted in them financing some of the best and coolest movies of the past five years. Another reason is because [...]
Both Trekkies and (now thanks to the release of last year’s geek/mainstream crossover prequel) non-Trekkies alike will be interested to read that Bruce Greenwood (Captain Pike), had this to say to Hollywood.com at a premiere this week, when he was asked about the shooting of the next film: “I just know that the plan is [...]
The name of Tobey Maguire’s Peter Parker successor was confirmed last week, with the news that British actor Andrew Garfield would be donning the red and blue spandex. We’ve heard many names mentioned since the as yet Untitled Spider-Man Reboot was announced several months ago, some well known, others not so much. That such a [...]
Less than a month ago we wrote up this story about Jamie Bell and Sony’s rebooted Spider Man, same title as this one – with pretty much the same story, but with one important difference – the name of the rumoured Peter Parker. Now, I’ll do my duty and link to Blue Sky Disney who [...]
This brilliant Mortal Kombat video has been doing the rounds recently and seems to hint at the possibility of an entirely new Mortal Kombat movie that’s losing its supernatural roots for a more gritty and more realistic approach and quite frankly I’m very impressed. The Video was brought to our attention from Joblo.com who state that [...]
And here we go again… You’ll remember the short list which circulated around the internet a couple of weeks ago, naming British actor Jamie Bell among the select few candidates rumoured to be on Sony and director Marc Webb’s radar. And it was with a sense of deja-vu that we launched into the next round [...]
The sudden rug pull from under the feet of those looking forward to seeing Tobey Maguire and John Malkovich in Sam Raimi’s fourth Spider Man film left us wondering what the future of the super hero would be. Enter Sony, with plans for a high school reboot, and then plucking (500) Days of Summer director [...]
Spiderman rumour/fact of the day is that Logan Lerman is almost certain to be the new Spiderman in Sony and Marc Webb’s reboot of the Spiderman franchise. The story comes from Hitfix.com and the report states that the Percy Jackson star, Logan Lerman, is Sony’s choice to replace Tobey Maguire in the “more teen friendly’ [...]
