Jerusalem, I Love You By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 12, 2008 9:31 pm EST I didn’t get a chance to see the early cut of New York, I Love You, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this week, although I wish I had. For those of you who don’t know, the film is the second in a series of films which began with Paris, je t’aime in 2006. The idea is to bring top directors and actors together for an anthology of short films that take place in one particular city....

Kevin Smith’s Zack And Miri Make A Porno Script Page Revealed By Peter Sciretta/June 24, 2007 7:31 pm EST Kevin Smith was nice enough to give Entertainment Weekly one page from the script for his upcoming comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. EW tried to make a joke out of Smith’s notoriously foul mouthed dialogue, replacing all the four letter words with “Cuddle”. The script page, pictured right, is pretty funny, yet typical of Smith’s dialogue driven humor....

Sheen has started to explode into high-profile films, and while he’s been stuck in the Underworld films and now the Twilight series, he’s also impressed us in Frost/Nixon and The Queen. His presence in the new Tron flick is nothing but a good thing....

More Spider-Man 3 Photos By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 15, 2007 5:45 am EST Earlier this week we posted six new photos from Spider-Man 3. Well, three new images have been leaked online. Check them out. I’m wondering if these are unfinished versions, because black Spidey is looking very plastic to me. Anyone else agree? Spider-Man 3 hits theaters on May 4th 2007.

Movie Playlist: Garth Jennings By Peter Sciretta/May 8, 2008 5:00 am EST Filmmaker Playlist is a new feature on /Film where we ask writers, directors, and stars to tell us their favorite movies of the moment. I’ve always found the celebrity playlists on iTunes to be interesting. Most everyone in the film business became involved after discovering their love of films.

New Indiana Jones 4 Photo: Shia LaBeouf And Cate Blanchett By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 8, 2008 10:57 am EST I’m not sure where this new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull photo came from, appears to be an Italian magazine. I’m posting the full photo after the jump to avoid front page spoilerage (although if this type of scene will appear in the trailer or magazines than I don’t really consider it a spoiler…)....

New Indiana Jones 4 Poster Is A Fake By Peter Sciretta/April 10, 2008 12:16 am EST A new Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie poster has popped up over at Collider, but is it real? Nope (to be fair Collider siad it could be possibly fan made). Just a cool fan created throwback to the popular Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade poster done by Drew Struzan....

Paranormal Activity: Spielberg’s Haunted Screener, Remake Madness, And Area 51 By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 20, 2009 12:50 am EST The Los Angeles Times has published a great article on Paranormal Activity, which features a bunch of interesting tidbits: Steven Spielberg had taken a Paranormal Activity DVD screener to his Pacific Palisades estate, and not long after he watched it, “the door to his empty bedroom inexplicably locked from the inside.” The famous director was forced to call a locksmith, and returned the screener back to Dreamworks in a garbage bag, certain that his copy of the movie was haunted....

Rumor Killer: Rupert Evans NOT Superman By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 25, 2007 9:53 am EST Yesterday a rumor circulated around the internet that British actor Rupert Evans might have been hired to play Superman in the new Justice League of America movie. It seemed very suspicious to us, and we even questioned the rumor based on the actor’s physical height, being a key reason to why he could not play the Man of Steel....

Spielberg Will Produce, Not Direct Matt Helm By Russ Fischer/July 30, 2009 1:00 pm EST Over the past 12 hours a little speculation has emerged about the next directorial effort by Steven Spielberg. A report in Variety suggested he could be taking the reigns of Matt Helm.

Let’s take a look at the Sundance 2007 films coming to a theater near you....

Taylor Lautner Skips Out On Max Steel In Favor Of Stretch Armstrong; Rob Letterman May Direct Stretch By Russ Fischer/Feb. 26, 2010 12:05 pm EST Taylor Lautner’s business people have been great about attaching him to a series of films in the wake of New Moon’s outrageous success. The sum total of all the efforts has been to push his level of exposure and price tag higher and higher. But something had to give, and while it seemed like Lautner would be able to make several of the films he was attached to, a few are gradually falling away....

The Time Traveler’s Wife Becoming A TV Series By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 18, 2009 4:56 am EST After The Time Traveler’s Wife scored a fairly respectable little pile of poker chips at this weekend’s box office, the news is breaking that the story is next headed to the small screen. Marta Kaufman, co-creator of Friends and Veronica’s Closet, is set to write and executive produce an ongoing series that can take time spinning out the decade long romance of the novel at the same time as giving us stand alone narratives tied-up on an episode by epidsode basis....

Trivia: Can The Dark Knight Win The Best Picture Oscar As A Write-In Candidate? By David Chen/Jan. 24, 2009 7:35 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. I know this will come as a shock to most of you, but when the 2008 Oscar nominations were announced the other day, a lot of people were upset that The Dark Knight got snubbed for Best Picture (and that Nolan got passed over for Best Director)....
