Two-Face Revealed??? By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 14, 2007 3:15 pm EST Check out these cool new images of Aaron Eckhart as Two-Face in The Dark Knight. Well guess what… They are FAKE.

Where The Wild Things Ought To Be… By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 20, 2009 10:02 am EST The Furies versus The Furries? Spike Jonze’s official blog for Where the Wild Things Are, We Love You So, is currently running a fan art contest—prize: WTWTA skatedecks—and entries thus far have been rather inventive and/or delightfully hokey. For instance, while the above image is sans iconic creatures, the positing of the film’s child character, Max, alongside The Warriors gets the imagination firing down corridors previously closed-off....

Andrew Lincoln Gets Lead Role In The Walking Dead By Brendon Connelly/April 6, 2010 2:00 pm EST When I last mentioned AMC, Robert Kirkman and Frank Darabont’s The Walking Dead, it looked like Johnny Lee Miller was the favourite for the lead role. Now, whatever goes on behind the scenes went on and it seems that, in lieu of Mr. Miller, the production has plumped instead for Andrew Lincoln. Two groups of people this is very good news for: fans of Andrew Lincoln and viewers of The Walking Dead....

Bobcat Goldthwait To Make Kinks Musical By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 17, 2009 6:31 am EST Chud have scored my favorite news story of the morning if not the whole last week. In an interview with Bobcat Goldthwait, the writer-director of World’s Greatest Dad, Devin Faraci managed to squeeze out one piece of scoop-style reportage: The comedian turned director told me that he was finishing up a spree killer script right now and that after that he would head into a new world: he would make a musical....

Comic Con: Lost Info Revealed By Adam Quigley/July 27, 2008 10:19 am EST Unlike the Heroes panel presentation, where they delivered in full by bringing out the entire cast and airing the season premiere, the only good thing to come out of the Lost panel was a sampling of interesting tidbits and one quick clip.

If I had to guess, I would say the silhouettes of the secret figures are likely Shia LaBeouf and Cate Blanchett’s characters from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull....

I’ve been getting e-mails all morning from /Film readers wanting to know more, so I thought I’d bring you a history of everything we know about the project.

Disaster Movie Trailer - Why?! By Peter Sciretta/June 24, 2008 12:55 am EST On the /FilmCast tonight a discussion about the new Disaster Movie trailer turned into an examination of the spoof film. Neil from FilmSchoolRejects had to remind me that spoof movies were not always the bottom of the comedy genre. Mel Brooks and Monty Python created highbrow (or at least highbrow in comparison to contemporary spoof films) films which were not only praised during their time, but have gone on to become classics....
