Watchmen Hellboy Producer Llyod Levin Tackles Terry Moore S Echo

Watchmen/Hellboy Producer Llyod Levin Tackles Terry Moore’s Echo By Russ Fischer/July 21, 2009 11:40 am EST I tuned out of Strangers in Paradise a long time ago, but Moore’s work definitely has qualities that differentiate it from everything else on the market. Besides his adherence to black and white work (when doing his own stories) Moore is known for creating strong, unique female characters. That makes Echo an interesting option for a film adaptation, as Julie Martin is a woman with a lot of normal problems that are made intense by her involvement with the military....

Abbie Cornish Cast In Dark Fields And The Madonna-Directed W.E. By Russ Fischer/March 18, 2010 9:24 am EST Abbie Cornish gave one of last year’s great performances in Bright Star, and was rather overlooked when awards time came around.

August Rush Movie Poster And New Release Date

August Rush Movie Poster And New Release Date By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 3, 2007 11:20 am EST Warner Bros has pushed August Rush back from October 19th to Wednesday, November 21st. The film will now go head to head with The Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men, Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood, the Jon Heder comedy Mama’s Boy, and the Frank Darabont adaptation of Stephen King’s The Mist. Seems to me that Warner has moved the film into a very unfavorable release date, which makes me wonder what the decision was made behind the scenes....

The result is super geeky, but actually rather cool. Named the best theme theater installation at CEDIA 2007, this Palm Beach County, FL home features motion-activated air-lock doors with series sound effects, and a “Red Alert” button on the Crestron TPMC-10 controller to turn all of the LEDs bright red and flashing....
