Say hello to my little remake. Deadline is reporting that Universal Pictures is planning on bringing another version of gangster epic, Scarface, to the big screen. With Martin Bregman (producer of the Al Pacino version) back on board, apparently the idea is to stage a new interpretation of the legend, so this will be neither [...]
Here’s a rather creepy brand new UK trailer and poster for Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz’s new movie, Dream House. It starts off similar to the US one that we saw earlier in the year but then gives us quite a bit of new footage. Dream House is directed by Jim Sheridan and also stars [...]

I have written about Tarsem’s “Immortals” before several times, included my first write-up from the films panel at this years Wonder-Con in San Francisco. I have been eagerly awaiting the visionary’s next film since being introduced to “The Fall”, a masterpiece in my opinion. The footage at Wonder-Con was good but the panel was much [...]
Quick word of warning – if you want to see this film then don’t watch the trailer. To even hint at some of the recent films whose influence is all over this one would be giving away too much. Unless the film is a huge psychological horror spanning generations then this trailer not only gives [...]

Time for another Hollywood remake of a successful French thriller from the last few years back, you say? Early this year saw the 2008 French film Pour Elle (Anything for Her) remodelled for an US audience and retitled The Next Three Days. Starring Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks, the film did extremely modest business in [...]
In what sounds like a foolhardy mash up of two Will Smith movies Cowboys and Aliens may not be as well known as your average Marvel comic book adaptation but it’s got some decent talent behind it, not least director Jon Favreau who is riding high on his very successful Iron Man films. I have [...]
There’s a new poster in town for the Tom Hanks directed Larry Crowne, and while it won’t win any design awards it does advocate riding on a scooter – look at how happy they are. I’m in. With Roberts and Hanks fronting the film there’s a good chance this one will draw in a huge [...]
There’s a lot of anticipation for Paul Feig’s Bridesmaids and in this new Red Band trailer you get a decent feel for the comedy being served up.
