Seth Rogen Says No To SuperBad 2, Yes To Pineapple Express 2 By Peter Sciretta/July 7, 2008 2:08 am EST When I talked to Jonah Hill a few weeks before SuperBad was released last year, I asked about a possible sequel. Hill responded “We talked about it. But also like the movie hasn’t come out yet. No one could go see it, and the talk would instantly go away of there being a sequel....

Stan Lee Developing A Gay Superhero Television Series For Showtime By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 13, 2008 2:11 pm EST I understand that Stan Lee has created some of the biggest superheroes of all time, but it seems to me that he has run out of good ideas. In recent years Lee’s contributions have included a risque animated superhero tv series Stripperella, POW Entertainment direct-to-dvd animated movies Mosaic and The Condor, an upcoming Playboy playmate superhero tv show, and the Who Wants to be a Superhero reality show (which is actually a guilty pleasure)....

The A-Team Movie Trailer #2 By Peter Sciretta/April 1, 2010 1:52 am EST This is the first trailer since the 100 second teaser trailer released in January. 100 seconds was enough to make us wondering why people were firing guns on tanks falling from the sky. This is the A-Team movie, not Stephen Sommer’s GI Joe 2, right? The new trailer gives us a much better look at the film’s plot and characters....

The White Ribbon International Movie Trailer By Russ Fischer/Aug. 14, 2009 12:30 pm EST I have a deep admiration for the films of Michael Haneke, but was still slightly surprised when his new film The White Ribbon won the top prize at Cannes this year. (Even with Isabelle Huppert, who’d previously found Cannes success via Haneke, as jury prez.) We’ve seen some clips from the film, and now that it is about to open in Germany, there’s a German-language trailer....

Confirmed: Paramount Feuds With David Fincher Over Benjamin Button By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 2, 2008 12:57 pm EST In my blog posting, I told you about the rumors of Paramount’s vicious fight with Fincher behind the scenes over the running time of the film. We also tried to connect the dots between the departure of Fincher’s planned adaption of Heavy Metal and the rumored fight. Now The Playlist has found an interview with Kevin Eastman, creator of the Ninja Turtles and publisher of Heavy Metal, where he finally confirms the rumors:...

First Look: James Bond’s Devil May Care By Peter Sciretta/March 3, 2008 1:55 am EST EW has a sneak peak at the cover art for the latest James Bond adventure, Devil May Care, written by English author Sebastian Faulks. The idea was to write a James Bond book which would read “as though Fleming had written it,” which explains the ridiculous cover credit: “Sebastian Faulks writing as Ian Fleming”. Um, I’ll wait for the eventual movie adaptation....

First Look: Spider-Man’s New Enemy Anti-Venom By Peter Sciretta/April 30, 2008 1:56 am EST We’ve spent some time in the past sorting through Spider-Man’s rogue gallery trying to figure out which villain(s) might be featured in the next Spider-Man sequel (if and when that happens). But who is to say that the next Spider-Man villain might not be a totally new creation. Entertainment Weekly has a first look at Spider-Man’s newest comic book villain Anti-Venom, who will make his first appearance in The Amazing Spider-Man No....

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 19, 2009 6:58 am EST This is a pretty great development, at least for the cast and crew of The Tourist. The film has gone through a lot of personnel tweaks, as we’ve reported over the last few weeks. The cast finally settled down, with Angelina Jolie and Sam Worthington set as the two leads. With those in place, it seems like the director’s chair formerly held by Bharat Nalluri will be filled by a great talent: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck, who won the 2007 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for his film The Lives of Others....

LOL: Hancock Billboard By Peter Sciretta/June 23, 2008 1:08 pm EST We we launched the LOL feature, we never thought it would degrade into dick and fart jokes. But so far we’ve posted two defaced Happening billboards which were transformed into “The CRAPening” and “The Penis”. When I first saw this unfinished Hancock billboard before quickly telling myself it was an easy joke not worthy of featuring on the site. Who are we?...
