The Avatar Sequel Is A Little Further Off Than Anticipated
The last we heard about the AVATAR sequel (after the first one got like 8 re-releases on home media and theatres), James Cameron was cluing us in on some of the stuff we can expect from the next couple movies. He pretty much tells us that we have a lot more exploring to do on [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 6 – The Curse Of Michael Myers

Cleopatra May Finally Have A Writer
I think I remember several years ago, I heard a small rumor that a CLEOPATRA movie was coming out with Angelina Jolie in the lead. I remember thinking, “Well, that makes sense,” considering how much of a voluptuous and desirable chick Jolie is. But that’s all I heard and I figured it was just me. [...]
UPDATED!!! This Poster Is Telling Us We Will See A Massive Boat In 3D
When the first time TITANIC came out, I was maybe 8 years old and couldn’t quite grasp the power in that film. I knew of the story of the Titanic and how its story has penetrated our culture, I knew it was about 3 hours long, I knew I hated Leonardo DiCaprio, and I knew [...]
James Cameron Reveals More Information About Avatar 2 And 3
When AVATAR came out, I wasn’t into it. It didn’t look like something I wanted to watch. I mean, I felt like the marketing for it was just weak because when it was coming out, it didn’t show me anything interesting at all. It wasn’t until the buzz came around as well as the fact [...]
Justin Lin Drops Out Of Terminator 5
Justin Lin’s name has been attached to all sorts of flicks lately, but FAST SIX ranks atop the list, forcing Lin to remove his name from consideration for both DIE HARD 5 and the HIGHLANDER remake.

Disney Inks Deal To Bring James Cameron’s Avatar To Disney Theme Parks
“Over there, that’s Fantasyland. And right next door, that’s Tomorrowland.

It’s Will Smith Or Bust For Shawn Levy On Fantastic Voyage
Casting has gotten too hard for director Shawn Levy as he tries to piece together the ensemble he’ll be shrinking and letting loose inside the human body for a James Cameron-produced 3-D remake of FANTASTIC VOYAGE. As a result, Levy has thrown down the gauntlet, issuing his ultimatum for the film – either we get [...]
David Fincher Says That 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea Will Be 70% CG
Always a promoter of computer generated effects David Fincher has been playing around with the technology for some years now. In the past he’s used the process in film such as ALIENS 3 and THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. All his past uses of the technology though will shadow in comparison to his Disney [...]
Justin Lin Is Still Working On Terminator 5, But Fast Six Will Come First
After seeing FAST FIVE and really having a good time with a movie in that franchise upon its shift away from street racing and more towards heists, I became a little more sold on the idea of Justin Lin taking the reins on the future of the TERMINATOR franchise when the rights package for at [...]

David Fincher Might Sail The Nile With Angelina Jolie For Cleopatra
There hasn’t been a lot of motion as of late with Sony’s planned biopic of Cleopatra, based on the Stacy Schiff book Cleopatra: A Life.

World War Z Could Be Heading To The Grave… Literally
Max Brooks’ fictional account of the zombie war World War Z may rank up there as one of The Kidd’s favorite books of all-time. First off, it’s absolutely terrifying. There’s no stereotypical heroics that swoop in and save the world from being overrun by zombies. Women and children are in danger. Pets aren’t going to [...]
At The Mountains Of Madness Is “Dead” – Guillermo del Toro Now Heads To The Pacific Rim
After continuing to lean on Universal to finally get them to okay Tom Cruise for the lead in AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS, and after plenty of development between director Guillermo del Toro and executive producer James Cameron to get the H.P.

Shawn Levy Gets James Cameron’s Blessing To Direct Fantastic Voyage Remake
If I was to ask you who your dream director would be to step behind the camera for the creation of a FANTASTIC VOYAGE remake shot in 3-D and produced by James Cameron, I’m fairly certain that the guy who directed the NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM flicks would be nowhere near the discussion. He even [...]
Guillermo del Toro Is Still Fighting To Get Tom Cruise At The Mountains Of Madness
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Back in early-September, Guillermo del Toro of his collaboration with producer James Cameron, an adaptation of the H.P.

Jon Doe’s Movie Resurrection – The Abyss: Special Edition
So it was right around this time last year when I was scratching my head after watching AVATAR for the second time. How did James Cameron, the man of TITANIC and THE TERMINATOR series fame, come up with the concept of humans traveling to an alien planet and essentially learning about the importance of coexisting [...]

Louis Leterrier Might Get To Go On A Fantastic Voyage
Even though James Cameron is about to get started on writing a pair of AVATAR scripts, he does have other projects that still need his attention. Geez… when does this guy sleep?
