We don't typically cover a lot of TV news, but it's hard to ignore the rabid fanbase of the Emmy-winning GAME OF THRONES on HBO. With a production value that eclipses most theatrical films and a cast that straight up slays the competition in acting, the show is one of the finest produced series to come along in a while.
Now, we have a slew of images from the second season, featuring a number of new key players that...
Woody Harrelson commanded the screen in such films as NATURAL BORN KILLERS, NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, THE PEOPLE VS. LARRY FLYNT, ZOMBIELAND, DEFENDOR and so much more. In RAMPART, his latest feature directed by Oren Moverman, he gives one of his most impressive performances to date. This is the second film that Harrelson, Moverman and Ben Foster have worked on together, the first being the Academy Award nominated THE...
With The Walking Dead returning to television this weekend, this week's movie for the Joblo Sunday Night Movie Chat is an appropriate choice. I'm talking about the greatest zombie film ever made... Dawn of the Dead!
In case you hadn't heard, yours truly has been hosting The JoBlo Sunday Night Movie Chat every Sunday night at 7pm EST. Over the past three months we've been talking about such movies...
Well, we brought you the poster earlier today and now we have a trailer for SEEKING A FRIEND FOR THE END OF THE WORLD starring Steve Carell and Keira Knightley. This must be one of those days as I keep seeing and hearing about projects that are highly intriguing and have been in production for quite a while. With so much stuff out there it's easy to slip by some of it. The film is written and directed by...
Director Ridley Scott has committed to direct the recently completed spec script by Cormac McCarthy entitled THE COUNSELOR. We've followed this closely since it was announced and it has been on like Donkey Kong in terms of the speed in which it's been fast tracked. It's almost as rare as a Haley's Comet rotation for a script to be submitted, sold, bought, and put into production with this kind of turnaround....
What will Jean Dujardin do after the inevitable Academy Award winning film, THE ARTIST? Play every bad guy in every upcoming film, that's what!
It might be funny, but really the truth hurts. Hollywood automatically goes to the hot, up and coming foreign actor to take on the role of the villain in whatever blockbuster they're pitching. Dujardin uses his talents in this video for Funny or Die to audition for as...
Is George Lucas trolling us?
While doing press for the 3D release of THE PHANTOM MENACE, Lucas told The Hollywood Reporter that Han did not shoot first.
Here's what he had to say:
"The controversy over who shot first, Greedo or Han Solo, in Episode IV, what I did was try to clean up the confusion, but obviously it upset people because they wanted Solo [who seemed to be the one who shot first in...
After playing Superman in MAN OF STEEL, Henry Cavill is set to help make the one structure on Earth that can be seen from space (that's a myth, by the way). Variety reports that the actor is in final talks for Edward Zwick's THE GREAT WALL, a film written by Thomas Tull and Max Brooks.
The story is to look at the construction of China's Great Wall and continue Zwick's bizarre fascination with making white men...
The adaptation of PARADISE LOST to be directed by Alex Proyas and star Bradley Cooper as Lucifer was put on hold a couple of months ago, but now it's been shelved.
Variety reports that budgetary issues were still the concern, because Legendary just couldn't figure out how to change the script in order to keep costs down. Variety's source also said that the technology to pull off the film,...
Deadline is reporting that Morgan Freeman is joining Tom Cruise in the post-apocalyptic Universal film OBLIVION. In it, Tom Curise plays the last man on the surface of Earth, a man who was left behind to repair ships to hunt down invading aliens.
In a future where the Earth's surface has been irradiated beyond recognition, the remnants of humanity live above the clouds, safe from the brutal alien...
Well, I was happy to hear that most of you were open to the idea of MACHETE KILLS. Danny Trejo works hard to entertain us with his machete wielding antics.
For those who didn't get the synopsis for the sequel, it will follow Machete who is, "recruited by the U.S. Government for a mission which would be impossible for any mortal man. Machete must battle his way through Mexico to take down a madman cartel...
Grungy-voiced Brit Jason Statham is teaming up with director Brian DePalma for a new adaptation of the novel HEAT by William Goldman. An earlier adaptation starred Burt Reynolds.
Here's the synopsis from the press release:
This tightly-wound, fun action-thriller, tells the story of a tough recovering gambling addict (Statham) who makes his living providing protection in the rough edges of the gambling...
THE BOURNE LEGACY has arrived! The official trailer and poster for the 4th film in the franchise series have popped up online and are ready for your viewing pleasure. I won't waste your time. Check 'em out below:
Looks pretty kick ass to me. The pic is written and directed by Tony Gilroy, who wrote the previous three films. I really dug Paul Greengrass's style for the films (although some...
Just a month away, JOHN CARTER is kicking off it's last marketing hurrah to get your ass in a theater seat. I'm already a guarantee, but many are on the fence or simply steering clear. The most common complaint seems to be "CGI shitfest," which doesn't register for me. I mean...it takes place on Mars...with spaceships...and aliens...lots of otherworldly shit. You're gonna have CGI. You also have a...
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE is a sexy movie that drips with Southern Gothic. And that's all I remember about it really, though I'd say that it's better than most vampire movies. The cinematic sequel QUEEN OF THE DAMNED was awful though, which is perhaps why none of Anne Rice's novels involving vampires have been adapted since.
But that all may be about to change, as Imagine Entertainment (run by Brian...
Mel Gibson, as we all know, has had a rather rough go of it of late. And yet, despite all he has said and the fact that I myself am Jewish, I still root for the guy. I'll admit that. He's made some of the best, most entertaining, and most affecting films I have ever seen, and for that I will gladly respect and appreciate the man. So it gives me great joy to report to you that two of Gibson's past-mentioned...
If you've been eagerly awaiting a WEDDING CRASHERS reunion, then this news might make you happy.
Vulture is reporting that Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson will be teaming up for a comedy called INTERNS for director Shawn Levy (REAL STEEL, DATE NIGHT). The project comes written by Vaughn himself, which could make it somewhat more interesting.
The two funnymen "will play forty-ish company guys who both...
I don't get Denzel Washington sometimes. He's a great actor - one of the best of his generation - but he often slums it with odd throwaway pictures like this week's SAFE HOUSE. What's weird is that I rarely (if ever) see anyone call attention to that, and I often wonder why. Dude's better than this stuff.
Will the trend continue? Deadline reports that Washington is in talks to join Mark Wahlberg in Universal's...
We just added the latest month of BEST-SELLING
ITEMS to the site (January 2012) featuring the top sellers over
the lamest month of the year in terms of new home entertainment releases
(most studios prefer to "blow their load" over the holidays)
which is probably why we see 2 TV shows on our best-sellers list including
the1st season of BOARDWALK EMPIRE and...
Some cool new pics from ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER have started walking amongst us, courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. The pics feature mostly an axe-wielding Abe Lincoln (Benjamin Walker) in various stages of his life, from a youthful entrepreneur/attorney/vampire hunter to the 16th President of the United States/vampire hunter.
Produced by Tim Burton and directed by Timur Bekmambetov (WANTED) from the...
Very much a labor of love by director Martin Scorsese, HUGO is as much a film as it is a celebration of early filmmaking, the journey of discovery, and the wonder of storytelling. And now, in these latter days of Oscar voting, I present to you a behind-the-scenes featurette that, like the dual nature of Scorsese's film, works to both promote HUGO to voters and further illuminate some of the process and...
To my mind Studio Ghibli (SPIRITED AWAY, HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE) can do no wrong, so you can imagine how delighted I am that Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki are back and collaborating once more with Disney to bring Mary Norton's book The Borrowers to animated life. In terms of a very basic plot outline, "the Clock family are four-inch-tall people who live anonymously in another family's residence,...
Speaking of interesting cinematic possibilities not coming to pass (I'm looking at you, BLADE RUNNER), turns out that the sequel to Zack Snyder's DAWN OF THE DEAD is, well, dead.
I actually had no idea this was even happening in the first place, but now the word from would-be-director Matthijs van Heijningen Jr. (THE THING remake/prequel/thing) is that the project is officially no...
Just yesterday we shared with you the news that Harrison Ford was in very early talks to join Ridley Scott's new BLADE RUNNER, a thought which elicited a fair number of passionate reponse. The thing was though, all of the information was particularly vague as to just what he would even be doing there (if you've seen the original film you'll understand why). Well, turns out the information was...
So the latest trailer for director Marc Webb's THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN is now online, and it looks pretty damn good!
I feel that the trailer (coupled with some spoilery info we've seen over the past year) gives away a lot of the film, but that seems to be par for the course these days, no? With that, though, comes tons of new footage, some nice quick glimpses of the Lizard, and just an overall sense of the...
PLOT:
After receiving a mysterious message from his grandfather, a young man obsessed by adventure and stories by Jules Verne makes plans to look for the Lost City of Atlantis. In the hopes of bringing the young boy to the realization that his grandfather simply has a big imagination, his moms boyfriend offers to travel with him to search for the mysterious island. Once they arrive, they hire a helicopter pilot who...
I remember when it was announced that MACHETE was going from fake movie trailer to full-fledged film, I was excited. It had some pretty major hype generating before it was released and then managed to deflate after opening weekend. I remember so many complaints being centered around the fact that it was "too hyped" and did not meet expectations. Personally, I thought it was a fun film.
For those who...
Todd Phillips is about to be a busy guy. The director has been making films for Warner Bros. since 2004s STARSKY & HUTCH. Now the studio has made a deal with Phillips keeping him on the lot until the end of 2013. Right now, his Green Hat Films banner is working on a third installment of THE HANGOVER franchise and PROJECT X is due out on March 2nd.
There are four other projects in the pipeline for Green...
One Disney project I've been really excited to see something from is WRECK-IT RALPH. It's the story of a bad video game character voiced by John C. Reilly, who desperately wants to be the good guy for once.
Today there's a first look at the video game based world. There was no description for any of these photos, that as far as I can tell are just pieces of concept art for the film. I swear I've seen that...
Earlier today, I was invited to a special "event" held in New York City by Sony Pictures for their summer release THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. I did not know much going into this event, I only knew that NYC was only one of several cities across the globe hosting the event, so I was not going to be the only one witnessing it (to say the least). However, there was still excitement in the air as I sat down in a...
Deadline is reporting that River Road Entertainment (THE TREE OF LIFE, FOOD, INC.) has just optioned screen rights to the upcoming novel "The Age of Miracles".
A Random House book written by Karen Thompson Walker and due for release this June, it tells the story of a young girl who deals with an Earth whose rotation has inexplicably started to slow. The book's synopsis-
On a seemingly ordinary...
Netflix subscribers can today check out "Lilyhammer", an eight episode series that you can only catch on Netflix Instant.
Steven Van Zandt (E Street band member and Silvio from "The Sopranos") stars as a New York gangster who relocates to Lillehammer, Norway as part of a witness protection program. Hijinks ensue.
Now, "Lilyhammer" wasn't produced by Netflix (they just...
Magnolia Pictures has just sent word that they've acquired US rights to MARLEY, the new documentary about the legendary Bob Marley. Directed by Acadamy Award-winner Kevin MacDonald (THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, TOUCHING THE VOID) and executive produced by Marley's son Ziggy Marley and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell; Steve Bing (Shangri-La Entertainment) and Charles Steel produce.
The film seeks to tell...
CASA DE MI PADRE, the Will Ferrell, Spanish-language film, which pays homage to classic westerns and telenovelas, is looking like it may be just tongue-in-cheek enough to pull off the subtitled comedy gamble. I'm a fan of Ferrell, especially ANCHORMAN and STEP BROTHERS, but he can be hit or miss.
In a fun promotional effort, Will Ferrell and Efren Ramirez gallop on their horses in the Western sun, then...
Some new images for JOHN CARTER have arrived, highlighting both Taylor Kitsch (John Carter) and Lynn Collins (Dejah Thoris, the Princess of Mars) as well as some of the martians, airships, and that cute little alien-dog creature.
Check out the images below:
As we grow closer to the film's release I find my own anticipation growing for the film, which I originally thought, "Eh, it looks pretty...
THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN official website posted an update recently with some character images and descriptions, which don't reveal much more than we already know, but are still of interest. We also have some details from director Marc Webb, involving the use of 3D and Peter Parker's "punk rock" qualities, which might actually change your mind about the film, depending on which side you're...
PLOT:
When a contagious disease seemingly steals away the sense of smell in Glasgow, a chef and a scientist discover a need for human connection. As the sickness begins to further deaden society, the two become lovers in spite of all their disappearing senses.
REVIEW:
There is much that could be respected from the gloomy new film PERFECT SENSE (currently playing in limited engagement and available on VOD)....
