Another Screenwriter Takes Their Best Shot At Robocop’s Reboot
MGM remains insistent that a ROBOCOP reboot is the smart thing to do, and, even though no one’s been able to crack it to their liking so far to make it work, they haven’t given up trying. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nick Schenk (GRAN TORINO) has been hired to work on the script in [...]
Joe Carnahan May Have A Death Wish
I just spoke to Joe Carnahan two weeks ago, and I wish this news about a DEATH WISH reboot would have been floating around, so I could have asked his take on it. He mentioned NARC 2, KILLING PABLO, WHITE JAZZ… but no talk of DEATH WISH, so now I’m just left to speculate on [...]
The Crow Reboot Is Resurrected, Now With A New Director And Writer
If you’re anything like me, you were giving sighs of relief once you heard the reboot of THE CROW was stopped dead in its tracks – after not coming to terms with anyone to play the lead (Bradley Cooper was the frontrunner for some time, and some concept art more than speaks volumes about what [...]
EXCLUSIVE: Is This What The Rebooted Godzilla Will Look Like?
Legendary Pictures has been going hard at rebooting the GODZILLA franchise, in the hopes that they can bring the legendary monster to American audiences and have them be entertained, something Roland Emmerich’s 1998 Americanized version failed to do. It may have made money at the time, but let’s not use that as some type of [...]
A Web’s Worth Of New Pics From The Amazing Spider-Man
Even with the first teaser trailer set to debut next week at Comic-Con, I remain incredibly skeptical on THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, regardless of how amazing it might actually look. SPIDER-MAN didn’t need to be restarted or rebooted or relaunched, because, even with the after taste of SPIDER-MAN 3 still lingering, interest remained in Sam Raimi’s [...]
Christopher Meloni Is The Next To Fly Onto Man Of Steel
After leaving LAW AND ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT after 12 seasons, Christopher Meloni has find a nice safety net project to fall into as he furthers his acting career – MAN OF STEEL. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Meloni is in final negotiations with Warner Bros. to join the cast of MAN OF STEEL, Zack [...]
Superman May Soon Call Julia Ormond Mommy
Superman’s birth mother on Krypton is the last domino to fall for Zack Snyder’s reboot of the franchise, and Warner Bros. may be on the brink of finding her. Julia Ormond is in talks with the studio, Snyder and Christopher Nolan to play Lara in MAN OF STEEL, according to Deadline, and barring a monumental [...]
Conan Satisfies His Thirst For Blood In New Red Band Trailer
Everything about CONAN THE BARBARIAN has reeked of awfulness to this point. The teaser trailer, the regular trailer – they’ve both given off nothing but bad vibes about the movie. The new red band trailer which premiered today (via IGN) looks at least a little bit better. It has plenty of blood, a couple of [...]
Russell Crowe Will Birth Superman As Jor-El In Man Of Steel
I bet you never looked at Superman and pondered whether he could have ever come from Russell Crowe’s loins. Well, all that is about to change. Russell Crowe is in negotiations to join the cast of Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot MAN OF STEEL in order to play Superman’s biological father Jor-El. Variety reports that, while [...]
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Restart Snags A Writing Duo For Rewrites
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES have a soft spot in a lot of people’s hearts from my age bracket. Either they were the comic books they grew up with or the cartoons they grew up with or the action figures they grew up with. So I can imagine that those same people are hoping for the [...]
Fox’s Daredevil Relaunch Has A New Writer & Storyline
All I keep hearing is that the director’s of DAREDEVIL is soooo much better, and that the movie sucks far less with everything included… but guess what? That’s not the version I originally saw. And if it is the superior version, then 20th Century Fox is to blame for putting out a lesser cut of [...]
Seth MacFarlane Heads To Bedrock To Reboot The Flintstones
This is like that time I played bingo with Chewbacca while the original members of Van Halen were tanning in the background. [Insert FAMILY GUY sequence that has nothing to do with the plot other than to appear as a random joke that's not very funny] Okay, so this is nothing like that at all, [...]
Conan Trailer At Least Gives Some Footage From The Movie This Time
Up to this point, I couldn’t give you any bit of a read on the new version of CONAN THE BARBARIAN, starring Jason Momoa in the title role. From some of the production stills released, I could tell you that our hero is a long-haired tan fellow who seems to yell a lot while wielding [...]
The Superman Reboot Gets An Official Title And Casts Its Villain
Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot has been slowly but surely making its way through the casting process, nailing down the important pieces of the Superman Universe needed in order to get the Man of Steel back off the ground once more for Warner Bros., with a holiday 2012 release date still being targeted. First, it was [...]
The 300 Prequel Is No Longer Xerxes
It’s been some time since we’ve heard any substantial updates on the planned 300 prequel over at Warner Bros., XERXES, based on another story from Frank Miller. The last rumblings were that Warners directing the project for the time being, based on the negative vibes they were getting from SUCKER PUNCH (they were right) and [...]
Batman Will Have To Be Rebooted
Where does Batman go next? That’s the question that’s plaguing Warner Bros. right now, as there is plenty of concern over at the studio as of late with Christopher Nolan’s direction for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. No, that doesn’t mean Nolan is taking a flame thrower to his trilogy and burning it all down in [...]
Amy Adams Is Lois Lane For The Superman Reboot
It’s perfectly okay to put aside the search for a villain in the Superman reboot, if it means Zack Snyder is going to come up with a fantastic choice for Lois Lane. Amy Adams has landed the lead female role which Snyder tells the Los Angeles Times is “a linchpin” to the film, amidst previous [...]
Add Another Couple Of Candidates To The List For Superman’s Villain In The Reboot
Well, it looks like Viggo Mortensen isn’t going to work out for the Superman reboot. No surprise there. as a possibility to play the role of General Zod in Zack Snyder’s restart of the Superman franchise under the guidance of Christopher Nolan. However, Viggo’s been deep in negotiations with Universal to join SNOW WHITE AND [...]
Superman Can Start Calling Kevin Costner Pa
After simply being in regards to Zack Snyder’s Superman reboot (rumored to be titled SUPERMAN: MAN OF STEEL), Kevin Costner has become a lot more, officially closing his deal to become Jonathan “Pa” Kent, Superman’s adoptive father. Deadline reports that Costner will partner up with Diane Lane to play Clark Kent’s parents on Earth, who [...]
The Superman Reboot To Be Approached As If There’s Been No Other Superman Movies
All eyes will be on Warner Bros. release SUCKER PUNCH, directed by Zack Snyder, in order to gauge some clues as to what might be expected from the Superman reboot. I wouldn’t expect to see anything given away in terms of what Superman will be about; that’d be ridiculous. But Superman fans will be pouring [...]
Where There’s Smoke, There’s A Conan Teaser Trailer
Over the weekend, Lionsgate debuted the first teaser trailer for their reboot of CONAN THE BARBARIAN… and, if you can tell me exactly what it is that I’m supposed to be teased about after watching this thing, well… you don’t win anything, but you can at least walk away with the knowledge that you know [...]
Tomb Raider Is The Next To Get Rebooted
I guess we’ve finally unlocked the secret to Hollywood’s reboot strategy. If you’ve got a fairly recognizably property on your hands, and the series has just stalled, because you didn’t know what to do with it or you just devalued it so much after a few mediocre-to-average films, just go ahead and start over from [...]
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 [...]
First Conan Poster Has A Lot Of People Losing Their Heads
Lionsgate has released the first poster for their reboot of CONAN THE BARBARIAN (via IGN), but you won’t find it anywhere in your local movie theatre’s lobby… mostly because we don’t have the technology yet. This one is a motion poster, as opposed to your traditional one sheet, and I must admit that it does [...]
Superman Can Now Call Diane Lane “Ma”
I totally didn’t see that one coming. With all the talk about Kevin Costner playing Superman’s Earth father Jonathan Kent and Viggo Mortensen potentially being targeted to fill the rebooted role of General Zod, originated by Terence Stamp in the first two Christopher Reeve movies, the distractions allowed Warner Bros. to do some casting for [...]
