Indiana Jones And The Crystal Skull LEGO Spoilers By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 28, 2007 10:53 pm EST I almost stayed away from posting this next news item as I’m not exactly interested in posting major spoilers about major films, especially the ones I’m majorly interested in. But the story has already started to engulf the web, and besides, these new lego sets have an original announced release date of early May 2008, weeks before Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull explodes into multiplexes around the world....

James Cameron Says He Never Blessed Terminator Salvation. McG Says He Did. By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 29, 2008 11:43 am EST For months, the foggy perception online has been that James Cameron gave McG’s Terminator Salvation his “blessing.” Where did the Internet come up with this rumor? Well, McG has stated the endorsement as fact in numerous interviews, including in this E! Comic Con video. Earlier this month, Cameron set the record straight, and what’s more, the question over a “blessing” was never raised....

Jim Jarmusch’s The Limits Of Control Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/March 6, 2009 3:00 am EST While the plot is agreebly locked in storage, the crisp visuals and a cast that includes JJ-fave Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Gael Garcia Bernal and Isaach De Bankolé in the lead (the French icecream man in Ghost Dog) are hot enough to singe so many art school pencil ‘staches. Jarmusch is a big fan of Lee Marvin, and I get a Point Blank vibe from the film’s logline (below) and the trailer’s upscale attire-meets-gritty minimalistic criminalism....

Joss Whedon Updates Fans On Dollhouse Progress By Devindra Hardawar/Oct. 26, 2008 8:32 am EST He reveals in the post even more behind-the-scenes tidbits: The original pilot was thrown out completely (which should make for a good DVD special feature down the line), several characters were removed from the show (though most of those actors are now in other roles), and he’s still very much a believer in Eliza Dushku....

Jurassic Park 4 Script Leaked Online? [Confirmed Fake] By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 2, 2007 6:17 am EST Movies that are still playing the multiplexes ending up on torrent sites have become a normal occurrence. Movies that have not yet been released have become a rarer occurrence. But what about a big budget summer blockbuster hitting the torrent sites before it even begins production? Thus is the case with Jurassic Park 4....

Interestingly enough, Smith will be returning to the place where he filmed Dogma almost exactly ten years ago. As it turns out, they will be shooting the movie over 40-days in Pittsburgh instead of the planned/scripted Minnesota locale....

Many Captain America And Avengers Possibilities Leak Out Of Comic Con By Russ Fischer/July 28, 2009 3:17 pm EST He hedges on whether or not the Hulk will actually be part of the team, so the rumor/suspicion that the Hulk would be the initial villain in the film is still hanging. But Devin at CHUD found that Marvel still owns the rights to shape-changing alien race the Skrulls, and supposes that they’ll be the real villain in the film....

Martin Scorsese To Direct Sinatra By Peter Sciretta/May 13, 2009 1:17 pm EST Martin Scorsese has added yet another film to his already overfilled plat of upcoming projects, but this one actually sounds like it could be all sorts of awesome. Universal Pictures and Mandalay Pictures have signed the Academy Award winning filmmaker to direct a biopic based on the life of Frank Sinatra.Phil Alden Robinson is writing the screenplay, titled simply Sinatra....

Michel Gondry’s American Airlines Commercials By Peter Sciretta/April 20, 2009 2:00 pm EST Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Be Kind Rewind) recently directed a series of television commercials for American Airlines starring Kevin Spacey. The spots which are promoting the airline’s business class service feature actual planes instead of the expected cardboard and masking tape created sets. Actually, all three spots are surprisingly generic. And by generic, I mean, like normal advertisements for an airline, and not something you’d expect from Gondry....

Mila Kunis Joins Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan By Peter Sciretta/July 27, 2009 5:55 am EST The supernatural drama is set in the world of New York City Ballet. Portman stars as a veteran ballerina who finds herself “locked in to a competitive showdown with a rival dancer, with the stakes and twists increasing as the dancers approach a big performance.” But it isn’t as simple as that — the big twist is that Portman’s character is not sure whether her rival is a supernatural apparition or if she is having delusions....

New Religulous Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/April 5, 2008 12:02 pm EST Lionsgate has revealed the theatrical teaser poster for Larry Charles’ upcoming sure-to-be-contoversial documentary Religulous, which follows Bill Maher on a around the world journey to prove just how ridiculous organized religion can be. I saw a bunch of footage from this doc at Toronto last September, and it’s shocking, laugh out loud funny, and appalling. One thing is for sure, it will get people talking....

Roland Emmerich Developing 2012 Sequel 2013 As Television Series By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 4, 2009 3:49 pm EST Roland Emmerich’s next disaster film 2012 won’t hit theaters for a couple weeks (November 13th), but a sequel has already been planned… but not the normal kind of sequel. Entertainment Weekly has learned that Emmerich and executive producer Howard Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy, Private Practice) are also developing a television drama titled 2013, which would be about what happens after the disaster....

Sam Raimi Can Make A Dennis Lehane Adaptation Too By Peter Sciretta/June 17, 2008 12:29 am EST Sam Raimi has signed on to develop and direct a big screen adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s The Given Day for Columbia Pictures. Set in Boston at the end of the First World War, Dennis Lehane’s long awaited eighth novel tells the story of two families – one black and one white – swept up in a maelstrom of revolutionaries and anarchists; immigrants and ward bosses; Brahmins and “ordinary” citizens, all engaged in a battle for survival and power....

SAW 4 Comic-Con Video Clip Now Online By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 9, 2007 4:30 pm EST Lionsgate premiered a clip from SAW 4 at Comic-Con 2007 (our coverage).

You can check out the embedded clip after the jump....
