Juno Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 17, 2007 12:20 pm EST While I was in Canada, I was able to snag this cool teaser poster for Jason Reitman’s Juno. I haven’t seen it online yet, so I thought I’d share. It looks very much like the background on the film’s official website. I really hope that they come up with something better for the theatrical one-sheet. I think they should make a poster in the same style of the super-cool Shadowplay Studios rotoscoped color-pencil animated opening sequence (brief snapshot seen above)....
Michael Moore Helps His Biggest Nemesis By Peter Sciretta/May 18, 2007 11:26 am EST I know we’ve been doing a lot of Michael Moore coverage this week, but again, his movie is about to premiere at Cannes (this JUST IN: First Reaction: Michael Moore’s Sicko is “brilliant and uplifting”). A lot of people have negative feelings for the political documentary filmmaker. I thought I’d share this story I found in the NY Daily News....
More Press Than They Deserve: Delgo Creators Consider Avatar Lawsuit By Russ Fischer/Aug. 26, 2009 10:08 am EST You know it’s a seriously slow news week when a vague threat from the producers of a film no one saw earns more than one line of traction. Movieline got a press release last night from reps for Fathom Studios, which produced the barely-seen animated film Delgo. The Na’vi aliens in Avatar have earned some unkind comparisons to Delgo’s folk, and evidently all the jokes (they were jokes!...

Today, a new post at The Netflix Blog tells us that the time of streaming video on your Wii may soon be upon us. According to the post, they have already started shipping out instant streaming discs to some Netflix members....
New Iron Man Production Photos! By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 3, 2008 8:20 pm EST Earlier tonight we posted the awesome new Iron Man television advertisement which aired during the Super Bowl. Still want more Iron Man? Good, because after the jump, I have for you, 13 new production photos from the film. As always, click on the images to enlarge. Iron Man hits theaters on May 2nd 2008. New Iron Man Production Photos!...
New Spider-Man 3 Photo Proves Venom Crashes To Earth By Peter Sciretta/March 13, 2007 10:23 pm EST We have another cool Spider-Man 3 photo for you today. Nope, it’s not Venom. It’s not Sandman. Not even Green Goblin or Spidey. The photo above shows a very small meteor crashing into earth. Why is this photo significant? Why should you care? Here’s a quick history lesson: Venom is actually not a monster, it’s an extraterrestrial symbiote called the “Venom symbiote....
Page 2 By Peter Sciretta/March 23, 2009 10:26 pm EST Someecards has a new eCard for those of you who loved I Love You Man way too much.Gatchakan.blog26.fc2.com has a snapshot of a poster for Imagi Studios’ Gatchaman, which gives us out first look at Joe Asakura, the second-in-command of the superhero ninja team. [via: Twitch]Jon Favreau has provided another Iron Man 2 update on Twitter : “Worked all weekend with Robert refining script and prepping to shoot....
Penelope Cruz Joining Pirates Of The Caribbean 4, Not Doing Melancholia By Russ Fischer/Feb. 10, 2010 1:20 pm EST How often are Lars von Trier and a tentpole franchise like Pirates of the Caribbean part of the same story? Yesterday we mentioned that Penelope Cruz looked like a lock to star in Melancholia, the next film from Lars von Trier. Now it seems that she won’t be doing that after all, in part because she’s brokering a deal to star alongside Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides....
POTD: Batman Fighting A Shark With A Lightsaber By Peter Sciretta/March 15, 2010 10:00 am EST I really have no idea where this image of Batman fighting a shark with a lightsaber originated from, but it is definitely full of awesome. Lets not forget Batman’s 44-year feud with the great white monster. After the jump I’ve included a clip from Batman: The Movie (not the Tim Burton-directed movie, but the 1966 film starring Adam West) which involved Batman’s hilarious run-in with an exploding shark....
Some Slumdog Millionaire Retail Copies Missing Special Features By David Chen/April 1, 2009 9:34 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. There’s no direct evidence (yet) that Fox’s recent boneheaded move surrounding DVD special features had anything to do with this, but if I were a betting man, I’d bet all the money in my pockets that it played some part in this debacle. Discuss: Have you had bad luck with a Slumdog DVD?...
Star Trek DVD/Blu-Ray Details Revealed By Peter Sciretta/July 17, 2009 9:26 am EST The STAR TREK DVD and Blu-ray will boast out-of-this-world special features to take viewers even further into the new universe of the rousing space adventure. The two-disc DVD and three-disc Blu-ray include in-depth explorations of the reimagining of the franchise, the phenomenal cast, the spectacularly real action sequences, the powerful score and the captivating aliens, commentary by J....
Sundance Movie Review: American Teen By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 23, 2008 2:01 pm EST Earlier in the week when I ran into Jason Reitman, I asked him what he had seen. He stopped, looked me in the face, and slowly but demandingly said “American Teen”, his favorite film of the festival. I tried to attend a press screening of the film earlier in the week, but with the buzz was already out of control, and I found myself shut out....
The Last Season Of 24? By Peter Sciretta/March 10, 2010 5:00 am EST Last month it was announced that Billy Ray had been hired to pen the screenplay for a big screen 24 movie. All we know about the planned story for the feature film is that it will be set in Europe. Kiefer Sutherland and producers have said that the big screen movie would be “a two-hour representation of a day....
The Pink Panther 2 Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 6, 2008 5:52 pm EST MGM has released a new trailer for The Pink Panther 2. Steve Martin returns as Inspector Jacques Clouseau, who this time teams up with a squad of International detectives who are just as bumbling as he is. Their mission: Stop a globe-trotting thief who specializes in stealing historical artifacts. I understand that this film isn’t made for someone in my demographic, which is kinda strange considering the 1960’s original was geared older, and even nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe....
The Wackness In July 2008?! By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 28, 2008 12:39 pm EST In response to our criticism, Co-President of Sony Pictures Classics Tom Bernard told indieWire, “We’re Not Looking For Home Runs”. Which is stupid, because they have a potential indie grand slam on their hands. The Wackness has huge generational cult classic potential on the level of Zack Braff’s Garden State, which took in $26.8 million in the U....
Toy Story 3 Clip By Brendon Connelly/Dec. 20, 2009 8:36 am EST Initially planned to debut during tonight’s screening of The Incredibles on the ABC Family Channel, our first extended look at Toy Story 3 series has already rolled up online. As you’d expect, it’s something wonderful and you can see it after the break. Director Lee Unkrich appears in an introduction before the new scene and an outro at the end, but there’s no new revelations in what he has to tell us....
Tribeca Movie Review: The Tree By SlashFilm Staff/April 29, 2007 11:34 am EST The following movie was reviewed at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival. The Tree (El Ãrbol) World Documentary Competition 2006, Argentina Dir: Gustavo Fontán Can memories of an entire lifetime be harnessed within one single object of affection? Can moments long ago experienced be recalled and relived with the help of a familiar companion? What happens when a family has to make a decision that could alter them forever?...
Two New Iron Man 2 TV Spots Show Brief Glimpses Of Action By Russ Fischer/April 6, 2010 8:14 am EST The release of Iron Man 2 is barely a month away, and Marvel and Paramount have been careful not to show off too much of the film in advance of the May 7 opening. While we’ve seen a couple of trailers and TV spots, we still haven’t seen much of Mickey Rourke’s Whiplash character, or Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow....
VOTD: Dad Makes Star Wars Movie With His Kids By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 15, 2008 12:00 am EST Dad Makes Star Wars Movie With His Kids The Pitch: George Lucas isn’t going to make Star Wars VII, so Mark Lucier decided to take matters into his own hands and make the epic sequel with his kids Alex and Noah. The cute short features some top notch special effects including a iPhone hologram device....
