Steven Spielberg Is Pretty Close To Working On Moses Epic Gods And Kings
Over the last few months, things have slowly been coming together at Warner Bros. for this Moses biopic, entitled GODS AND MONSTERS, they’ve been working on. Back in September, we covered the story that they were looking at Steven Spielberg to helm this epic story. In November, Spielberg reciprocated his interest in the project and [...]
The Kidd Vs. War Horse
I don’t know why everything surrounding WAR HORSE has been difficult for me. I tried to read the Michael Morpurgo’s novel before seeing the film, just to get a feel for the overall story, which is quite different than the movie, being that the narrative is told from the horse’s perspective. However, I couldn’t make [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Adventures Of Tintin
Damn you, Steven Spielberg and your beard, too, for good measure. Why did you have to wait until now, three years later than expected, to deliver an action-packed and fun Indiana Jones movie? Is it George Lucas’ absence and the substitute of Peter Jackson as producer that finally helped you to realize everything that was [...]
War Horse Galloped Right Into Raven McCoy’s Heart
Steven Spielberg has made some absolutely wonderful films that I love. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, HOOK and MINORITY REPORT are some of my favorites so when it’s announced that he’s releasing not one but two in the same week (THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN and WAR HORSE), my interest was piqued. However when I saw [...]
Last Day Of Shooting Lincoln Gives Us Daniel Day-Lewis In Full Costume
Have I expressed how excited I am about Steven Spielberg’s LINCOLN finally being filmed? The cast is tremendous and Lincoln is by far my favorite president, and with Spielberg behind the wheel, the movie looks to be something that simply cannot be missed. Even though that first photo of Daniel Day-Lewis as Lincoln was a [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Hey, Miami – We Want You To Take Your Family And Friends To See The Adventures Of Tintin
Steven Spielberg… Peter Jackson… what more could you possibly ask for in a film? That brings us to THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN, the first film adaptation of Hergé’s comic book series, directed by Spielberg, produced by Jackson, in what looks to be an excellent display of motion-capture animation. Paramount has set us up with some [...]
Daniel Day-Lewis Is Spotted Looking A Lot Like Lincoln
He may be missing the suit and the hat, but make no mistake about it, even without wardrobe, Daniel Day-Lewis in full Abraham Lincoln beard looks a helluva lot like Abraham Lincoln. Spotted in a restaurant in Richmond, Virginia, Michael Phillips (@UVAMichael) snapped a pic of DDL, posted it up on his Twitter and gave [...]
Spielberg Votes For Jared Harris To Play Ulysses S. Grant In Lincoln
It feels a bit surreal to be talking about Steven Spielberg’s long-in-gestation biopic about Abraham Lincoln, but, after waiting seemingly forever for it to become a reality as it always seemed like Spielberg shifted another film ahead of it on his docket, it’s truly happening. Liam Neeson may be long gone, replaced by the even [...]
Steven Spielberg Considering Directing Epic Moses Flick
Before I start the story, can we just give a moment to really appreciate Steven Spielberg for a bit? I mean, he isn’t quite perfect with flicks like KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL looming over everyone’s heads. But damn does that man not only have vision and talent, but a work ethic since he is [...]
Steven Spielberg Says That We Will See Jurassic Park IV And Indiana Jones V
As cool as JURASSIC PARK was, there was one scene that really ruined it for me. It’s a bit fuzzy, but I believe it’s when Lex is trying to hide from the Velociraptors behind some large table, and when she runs away screaming, her arms are waving in the air. That’s possibly the worst running [...]
Peter Jackson Will Helm The Next Tintin Flick
At first, I was absolutely in love with the trilogy of cinematic masterpieces known as THE LORD OF THE RINGS. Hell, I wouldn’t call myself a LORD OF THE RINGS fanatic, but I was definitely into them. However, after repeated showings on TV, they slowly became more and more tedious to even attempt to finish, [...]
The New Trailer To Tintin Should Suitably Wow You
With the TINTIN flick getting closer to release in December, Paramount, Columbia, and Nickelodeon have decided to release another trailer and damn, does it look really good. First thing’s first, the flick looks amazing. Its’s possibly the best looking and most realistic looking CGI flick I’ve yet to see. But aside from the fact that [...]
Paramount And Hasbro Plan On Filming Transformers 4 And 5 Back To Back
The coupling of Paramount and Hasbro has so far been an extremely lucrative one. The three TRANSFORMERS films have grossed at least a billion dollars each not including profits from licensing and toy sales. The films have helped Hasbro bump shaky sales up a few percentage points and it’s not surprise that their interested in [...]
Transformers 4 Is Seriously Being Considered
The last thing I thought I’d hear today is that Hasbro and Paramount are in discussions about trying to bring about another TRANSFORMERS movie. Beyond that, I didn’t imagine I’d hear Steven Spielberg is in talks to return as executive producer, and Michael Bay is involved in the conversations as well to maybe get behind [...]

The Bible is generally always a great place to get some good movie ideas whether it be for spiritual reasons or for entertainment reasons, it’s just a treasure trove of stories ready to be adapted and people want to see them. More specifically, the story of Moses is by far one my favorites, so far [...]
