This Week’s Movie Premieres (June 11-13, 2010)- Shrek vs. Dre-son

Well, it looks like Shrek will be atop the box office for a fourth straight week. The only films that have even the slightest chance of knocking him off are a movie based on an 80′s TV hit, and a remake of an 80′s movie. As I typed that I began having second thoughts about [...]

Shrek is King, Weekend Box Office for June 4-6, 2010

Well Shrek Ever After ruled the box office for a third straight week, and has now surpassed the $165 million dollar budget it took to make it.

Gamer Spielberg says Halo to new project

Steven Spielberg’s love of gaming may soon be felt on the big screen in a big big way. The Hollywood heavyhitter is said to have his sights set on bringing the popular Halo to life. Now, unlike Spielberg, I’m sure as hell no ‘gamer’. Movie nerd yes. So, while I have never played the game, [...]

Weight over for Christian Bale’s latest role

Christian Bale is set to star in a remake of Jason and the Argonauts – as the skeleton army. Nah, just kidding. But, if there is one actor who could pull it off without the use of CGI it is the trash talking Brit. The extremely dedicated Bale is building up quite a reputation for [...]

Reynolds gets Green light from Warner

In an interesting move, Warner Bros. has given the much sought-after role of The Green Lantern to Ryan Reynolds. The former sit-com star who has been slowly but surely making a name for himself on the big-screen in a variety of comedy, action and romance films has apparently won from Bradley Cooper (The Hangover) and Justin [...]

An American Werewolf in Remake … Sadly

REMAKE is becoming a real dirty word. Just about every time I hear it these days I shudder. What next? I think to myself. What movie next will those unimaginative, unoriginal producers of Hollywood get their mitts on.

Latest remake should be a real howler (meaning a laughably stupid blunder)

TEEN Wolf looks as though it will be joining the painfully long list of movies getting the remake treatment.

Crowe in driver’s seat of new Robin Hood

Looks as though director Ridley Scott is putting a new ‘spin’ on the legendary Robin Hood tale with his upcoming big screen adaptation. Out are horses, and in come … jeeps?

Mickey just whip it, whip it real good

You would expect Mickey Rourke to be a bit more capable than Jeff Bridges when it comes to kicking some ass. And it looks as though it will be the case in the Ironman movie series if this shot of the comeback king is anything to go by. USA Today has just released the first [...]

T. Scott coming out to play with Warriors

Those Scott Brothers are still really busy boys – despite their advancing years. We’ve got the relentless movie-making machine that is 72-year-old Ridley Scott currently back in epic action-adventure mode with Robin Hood, starring his muse Russell Crowe. Brother Tony, 65, meanwhile is out on the promotion trail for his new film, The Taking of [...]

Scott Brothers hatch plan for Alien prequel

(Sung to the tune of Speed Racer) Here he comes, here comes Space Jockey, he has a demon in space … I mentioned it a month or so ago that it could become a possibility, but now it has been confirmed that Alien, and Aliens for that matter, will indeed be getting the big screen [...]

Next Spider-Man movie might suck too

The makers of Spider-Man might be planning to try and tap into the lucrative ‘Twilight’ market. Chud.com reckons director Sam Raimi has given an indication of who will be the villain in the fourth installment of the popular superhero franchise, Morbius, the Living Vampire. Raimi played along with the rumour that has been doing the [...]

Hemsworth a Thor thing for super role

It appears another alleged ‘macho’ Aussie male has infiltrated Hollywood and joining the ranks of the action star.  If rumours are correct, Chris Hemsworth will be following in the footsteps of Sam Worthington and gracing the big screen in a big budget blockbuster. Deadline Hollywood Daily reports that the 25-year-old has been cast in Marvel’s [...]

Rodriguez lines up Predators for new hunt

Twenty years after the Predator last graced the big screen – without any other well-known Alien being – it is to make a comeback, and in numbers. Reports regarding the development of Predators have been coming out of Hollywood thick and fast in the past couple of weeks. It has been confirmed the film will [...]

He-Man may power back onto big-screen

WHILE we may have thought it would be an ‘Eternia’ before we would be seeing another Masters of the Universe on the big screen, the mythological gang have taken a small albeit significant, step towards a return. But, in exactly what form remains a mystery. Certainly the hero of the piece, He-Man appears set to [...]

Alien prequel should Jockey for position

Predator and Alien look to be finally heading down the right path – in their own separate ways. News out of Hollywood this week has given fans of the two iconic sci-fi creatures hope they will again get to see them flourish like never before, in their own stand-alone blockbusters. The powers that be had [...]

Salvation is at hand, Arnie is back!

It has been rumoured for months, but it appears as though Arnold Schwarzenegger will in deed be ‘back!’. And, it seems, turning back time as well. Variety is reporting it can confirm that the Californian Governator will feature in the much-anticipated Terminator Salvation, to be released worldwide late next month. Though the big Austrian-born former [...]

Meet Maximus Hood, Russ’ Robin is ready

No doubt the whole world has seen Russell Crowe as Robin Hood by now, but here he is again anyway. Universal Pictures certainly didn’t waste any time releasing an image of the Kiwi slash Aussie in his medieval get-up, with usatoday.com getting its hands on a copy yesterday. Despite the fact it does look a [...]

Predator drops into RoboCop battlefield

DARK Horse Comics started a trend in early 1990 when it released an edition of its ‘Presents’ series titled Aliens vs Predator. Pitting the two popular, albeit blood-thirsty, extra-terrestrial movie beings against each other formed the basis for a stand-alone comic book franchise soon after. Hollywood got in on the act in later that year with [...]

Sly moves from a group of Expendables

FEATURING the most kick-ass ensemble cast ever assembled, The Expendables has begun shooting in Brazil. Sylvester Stallone is of course behind the project, writing, directing, producing, starring and maybe even making the sandwiches for he and his fellow action movie heavyweights. Yeah, probably not that last bit … But the vein-poppin’ goatee-wearing 62-year-old is certainly [...]
