Magnet Plans To Fix Let The Right One In Subtitles, But Not Offering Exchanges By Peter Sciretta/March 24, 2009 7:52 pm EST For those that wish to purchase a version with the theatrical subtitles, you will be able to tell in the tech specs box at the back/bottom of the package because it will read “SUBTITLES: ENGLISH (Theatrical), SPANISH.” Magnet refuses to offer exchanges to anyone who has bought the altered version, which is really upsetting to me as a consumer....

New Spider-Man 3 Poster? By Peter Sciretta/April 10, 2007 12:35 pm EST We received a new Spider-Man 3 poster in our e-mail box, although we’re unsure if this is official or fan made. Either way, it’s pretty cool. New Spider-Man 3 Poster?

New Wanted Video Clip By Peter Sciretta/May 20, 2008 1:28 am EST Universal has released a new teaser trailer / video clip from the upcoming comic book adaptation Wanted. This is the beginning of what becomes an insane car chase sequence which I had the chance to see at WonderCon. I’m actually surprised they didn’t show more. I’m still blown away by the behind the scenes featurette that we posted this weekend....

The Wolfman Comic Con Footage By Peter Sciretta/July 30, 2008 1:42 pm EST Universal premiered an extended trailer for The Wolfman at Comic Con this weekend? We told you the footage actually made us excited to see the film… Now you can check it out yourself. TrailerAddict has gotten their hands on a copy, watch it while you still can.

There Will Be DVD By Peter Sciretta/March 4, 2008 2:20 pm EST On April 8th, I know what I’ll be buying. So far, information is limited as details have not been officially announced, but Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood will be released in both a 1-disc and 2-disc special edition DVD. The single disc release will feature the movie in anamorphic widescreen with dolby digital 5.1 surround audio, but no extras....

Updated Box Office: $100M Still Possible For Iron Man Opening Weekend By Steve Mason/May 3, 2008 12:00 pm EST No matter how you look at the numbers, Iron Man (Paramount) is in the stratosphere, but I still believe that this first film from Marvel Studios will reach $100M for the weekend. My final prediction on Wednesday night was for the John Favreau-directed superhero pic to soar to $102M from Thursday night previews through Sunday....

Vincent Gallo Playing Fugitive Taliban Member In New Jerzy Skolimowski Film By Brendon Connelly/Dec. 31, 2009 1:36 pm EST Jerzy Skolimowski’s best known films are likely those he was a writer on and of these none is better known than Roman Polanski’s Knife in the Water, a great thriller that was like Dead Calm but 27 years earlier and not actually rubbish. Amongst his work as director are two films from the 70s that I found quite lastingly disturbing since my youth, the supernatural horror film The Shout and obsession thriller Deep End....

VOTD: Law Abiding Engineer By David Chen/April 4, 2010 6:10 pm EST It’s videos like this that make me love the internetz. Somebody has re-created the trailer for Law Abiding Citizen, and superimposed characters from the Valve video game Team Fortress 2. The animation is pretty good, and the choices for characters are actually pretty clever (Gerard Butler’s character is played by an Engineer for obvious reasons, while Jamie Foxx’s role is played by the suit-attired Spy character)....

Woody Allen’s Next Has A Title: You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger By Russ Fischer/Oct. 26, 2009 10:00 am EST Sounds like the punchline to a joke about a carnival fortune teller. Woody Allen has been quietly making his next film, and as per usual we’ve known almost nothing about it up until now. (Even his casts sometimes don’t get full scripts during production; Allen is quite good at keeping his films locked down....

24 Movie Prequel Is Beginning To Sound Lame By Peter Sciretta/June 24, 2008 1:38 pm EST For some reason, I just assumed that the 24 movie would never actually happen. And now I actually doubt it ever will. A two hour prequel for this upcoming season is currently in production. Robert Carlyle has confirmed to Premiere that the two hour prequel takes place in real time and the the end of the prequel will connect directly into the first episode of the series...

Badass Max Payne Photos By Peter Sciretta/July 11, 2008 10:49 am EST Now that everyone is all of a sudden excited for the video game to big screen adaptation of Max Payne, new promotional material has begun to leak out. This batch of six badass promotional photos, with frames which look directly ripped from the game itself, were released on the film’s official website (although, I found them on FirstShowing). Max Payne hits theaters on October 17th....

Bea Arthur Died Today At Age 86 By Peter Sciretta/April 25, 2009 1:52 pm EST Golden Girls and Maude star Bea Arthur died today at Age 86. “Thank you for being a friend…” [Los Angeles Times] Bea Arthur Died Today At Age 86 By Peter Sciretta/April 25, 2009 1:52 pm EST Golden Girls and Maude star Bea Arthur died today at Age 86. “Thank you for being a friend…” [Los Angeles Times]

Behind The Scenes Of The Book Of Eli By Peter Sciretta/March 17, 2009 10:28 pm EST Entertainment Tonight visited the New Mexico set of the Hughes Brothers’ The Book of Eli and released one of those annoying video packages of a “reporter” roaming the set, making lame jokes, and not really learning anything about the actual movie itself. Regardless, it might still be worth watching. The sequence they are filming is the movie’s climactic western-style shoot-out between Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman....

Casting Call For Thor Reveals More Than That The Lead Is Open By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 19, 2009 2:40 am EST A casting notice for the lead role in Kenneth Branagh’s Thor not only tells us that the position is still vacant, but what criteria will be applied in selecting the big screen God of Thunder. Coming Attractions have been slipped the following definition of a Marvelous Norseman and plenty of people aren’t going to like it:...

Casting Notes: Zach Galifianakis In Miracle Workers; Mickey Rourke In War Of The Gods; Tom Atkins In Drive Angry By Russ Fischer/Feb. 25, 2010 10:20 am EST What is it with exorcism movies? Earlier today we had word that Anthony Hopkins had been cast in The Rite. Now there’s another exorcism movie in the works called Miracle Workers, with Zach Galifianakis attached to star. STYD has the report, saying the script is “a buddy supernatural comedy in which the actor is put on a path that has him posing as an exorcist with a pal....

David Zucker’s An American Carol Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 15, 2008 1:55 pm EST An American Carol is a comic retelling of A Christmas Carol, but instead of Ebenezer Scrooge, we have a cynical, anti-American documentary filmmaker named Michael Malone (extremely subtle), who sets out on a crusade to abolish the July Fourth holiday with his film Die You American Pigs. On the fourth of July, he is visited by three ghosts who tey to show him the meaning of Independence, instead of Christmas....

Development Of New Dr. Who Movie Confirmed By Brendon Connelly/May 26, 2009 10:47 am EST It doesn’t quite add up to me, but the first official confirmation of an in-development Dr. Who movie has been buried by the BBC at the bottom of a considerably less interesting article on one of the Who spin-off TV shows. Widely acclaimed as the best Dr. ever, David Tennant has this past week completed the filming of his final episodes of the show....
