Russell Crowe May Be Playing An Old Man On A Giant Boat
Woah, it’s a been a while. I feel like I haven’t written in like a year, but it’s only been may a week or so. Well, let’s get right into some back story. Way back in October, we reported on Darren Aronofsky’s follow-up to his award-winning BLACK SWAN would be the epic Biblical tale of [...]
Michael Fassbender Might End Up On An Ark Steered By Darren Aronofsky
Michael Fassbender looks like he’s going to be everywhere in a few short months, man. I honestly hadn’t heard of him until X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, but now I’m seeing him everywhere. Was it really his Magneto that brought him to everyone’s attention? I mean, we have what looks to be a fantastic performance in Steve [...]
The Story Of Noah And The Ark Is Set To Be Aronofsky’s Next Project
We’ve had some time to come to terms with the fact that award winning director Darren Aronofsky will not be directing the new WOLVERINE film so what else does he have in store for us. Well it’s been widely reported that one of the projects that Aronofsky had planned on working on was an adaptation [...]
X-Men: First Class Producer Talks The Wolverine And Deadpool
With all the news about THE AVENGERS and that group of comic book films we can’t forget one of the comic book franchises that made all these comic book films possible. The X-Men have had quite a bit of success at the box office even though sometimes there has been a question about the quality [...]
Total Recall Writer Doing Some Work On Fox’s The Wolverine
It’s been a rough year for those of us who are dying to see a decent Wolverine movie. Pre-production for Twentieth Century Fox’s THE WOLVERINE started almost immediately after the release of their exceptionally mediocre 2009 film X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. As soon as the sequel was confirmed it was also made known that a good [...]
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson In Talks To Star As Goliath For Relativity Media
The time of the Biblical epic is long gone and it’s really a shame. The Bible is full of stories that are prime material for modern film. Recently there has been some talks about a few films that would adapt a few of these stories. Among his other projects there has been talk that Darren [...]
James Mangold Digs His Claws Into The Wolverine
THE WOLVERINE once again has a director. After Darren Aronofsky departed the film, 20th Century Fox went on a hard target search to find a quality filmmaker to fill his shoes, and, from their short list of finalists, James Mangold is their final choice. Deadline reports that Mangold is about to enter negotiations after settling [...]
David O. Russell Has A Shot To Ruin Maleficent Next
It’s probably unfair of me to label director David O. Russell as a movie ruiner at large. He parted ways with Columbia Pictures for UNCHARTED: DRAKE’S FORTUNE over “creative differences,” but ultimately the issue came down to Russell wanting to make a movie that no longer even resembled the popular video game that was supposed [...]
Darren Aronofsky Wants Christian Bale To Build The Ark For Him As Noah
Darren Aronofsky seems to be having a bit of trouble filling the void left by his departure from THE WOLVERINE. A number of projects have come the director’s way in recent weeks with a George Clooney sci-fi pic being discussed for awhile before Disney targeted Aronofsky for their MALEFICENT picture and Warner Bros. wanted to [...]
The Wolverine’s Search For A Director Is Down To 8
20th Century Fox is moving closer to settling on a director for THE WOLVERINE, following Darren Aronofsky’s departure from the project and a lot of uncertainty about the ability to shoot on-location in earthquake-ravaged Japan. According to Variety, the list of finalists has been narrowed down to eight very different candidates who couldn’t be further [...]
Disney Wants Darren Aronofsky For Maleficent; Warner Bros. Wants Him For Moses
Now that Tim Burton has , told from the point of view of the evil villain (the film is being developed for Angelina Jolie in the title role), Walt Disney Pictures can get down to the business of finding a filmmaker to direct the project that has made a movie people have enjoyed in the [...]
A Sci Film With George Clooney? That’s What Will Fill Darren Aronofsky’s Wolverine Void
Darren Aronofsky had to pick another project to work on eventually. Having in order to not be away from his family for over a year (a decision that may have worked out for the best with the film on hold anyway with Japan in bad shape for any on-location shooting), it looks like Aronofsky is [...]
Deadpool Has A Director
20th Century Fox has taken a HUGE stride on their long proposed DEADPOOL spin-off, finally picking a director to steer the project and move it into production. After for quite some time and looking through a few other candidates, visual effects guru Tim Miller has gotten the nod, according to Deadline, which would mark his [...]
Might Hugh Jackman Become Snow White’s New Huntsman?
After the collapse of negotiations with Viggo Mortenson to become the Huntsman half of their Snow White project SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, Universal Pictures has its fingers crossed that they may be able to fill their void by capitalizing on Darren Aronofsky’s departure from THE WOLVERINE leaving that film in limbo. Universal wants Hugh [...]
The Wolverine Won’t Settle For Any Old Director
I know you’re still bummed about director from THE WOLVERINE. I’m feeling a little down having to think about it again, too. After X-MEN ORIGINS – WOLVERINE, it was nice to have hope that a follow-up had a distinct chance of not sucking, because of which filmmaker was linked to get it done. Aronofsky might [...]
Darren Aronofsky Walks Away From The Wolverine
In a shocking development, Darren Aronofsky has bowed out of directing THE WOLVERINE, the follow-up to X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE. Aronofsky came on late to secure the gig after David Slade looked like a sure thing as his name kept resurfacing in the search for a director all the way to the end. However, Aronofsky’s history [...]
MGM Is Gearing Up For The Robocop Reboot Again
I will admit that, as horrible as it sounds, there was a small part of me that was happy back when MGM was facing some serious financial difficulties, because it meant that a ROBOCOP reboot had stalled, and eventually Darren Aronofsky would get tired of waiting around and move onto other shit, and the concept [...]
Black Swan Dominates Independent Spirit Awards
There’s a saying in Hollywood that goes – “win on Saturday, lose on Sunday” in reference to the Independent Spirit Awards and the Academy Awards. Indeed, films and performances that have ended up being rewarded at the Spirit Awards have often come home empty handed the day after at the Academy Awards. That thought will [...]
The Directors Guild Would Like You To Direct Your Attention To Their Award Nominees
The Directors Guild of America announced their nominees earlier today for their 63rd annual DGA Awards, recognizing the top achievements for the year. When it comes to predicting the Oscars, this is serious business. Since 1948, only 6 winners of the DGA’s award for feature film directing have not gone on to win the Oscar [...]
The Kidd Vs. Black Swan
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD To try to put into words everything that comprises BLACK SWAN would be an insurmountable task. Not only is the film difficult to discuss without really getting into the depths of what is going on throughout, there is so much going on with layer upon layer of subtext that to touch upon [...]
Amsterdam Vallon Goes A Little Bit… Okay, A Lot Crazy For Black Swan
Just about everyone can agree that Natalie Portman is one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood. What she doesn’t receive is enough credit for being an incredibly talented actress. Maybe it’s because, barring a showy performance in CLOSER, she’s rarely had the chance to showcase her craft. All that’s going to change though… after [...]
Penny Lane Loves Dancing With Every Single Moment Of Black Swan
If you’re seeing BLACK SWAN because you want to see a “dance movie,” then you’re seeing it for the wrong reasons. This thriller is as far as you can get from the likes of CENTER STAGE, and it is its intensity, boldness, and blatant sexuality that will seduce any viewer…or at least those who can [...]
A Broken Natalie Portman Is Still Better Than No Natalie Portman At All In International Black Swan Poster
BLACK SWAN has been playing it pretty close to the vest for American audiences thus far about what exactly the movie is about. For some, it’s the ballet movie, while others know it simply as the movie where Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis get it on… but the overall premise of the film has been [...]
Darren Aronofsky Is Locked Up For 2 Years At Fox
Remember not too long along when 20th Century Fox seemed like an awful place to try setting up any type of motion picture (with X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE being the prime example of how bad it had gotten over there)…? Well, it must not be so bad over there anymore with director Darren Aronofsky signing a [...]
Wolverine 2 Isn’t Wolverine 2 Any Longer
X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE – THE SEQUEL did seem a little wordy, and WOLVERINE 2 seemed pretty predictable and plain (how’s that for alliteration?), so it shouldn’t be that big of a a surprise that Darren Aronofsky and 20th Century Fox have come up with a new name for the prequel sequel for Hugh Jackman’s return [...]
