Awesome

Awesome. By Hunter Stephenson/July 2, 2008 11:04 am EST Don’t worry, /Film isn’t dyeing its hair purple and designing a line of Hot Topic apparel. According to various gossip sites, Rose McGowan and Robert Rodriguez have split, thus throwing McGowan’s roles in Barbarella aka “my space ship is nearly finished, seriously,” the newly announced Red Sonja revamp, and Girls in Chains! into question. If true, this is like the end of an era in GeekLand, and we’re pretty happy about it....

Che Bootleg Trailer

Che Bootleg Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 31, 2008 2:02 pm EST A bootleg trailer for Stephen Soderbergh’s two part Che Guevara biopic Che has hit the interwebs. The Benicio Del Toro film which premiered at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival in May has yet to find a domestic distributor. It certainly seems like a hard sell, especially as two films. I think I’d rather see a four-hour cut the combines both films....

Each diorama is hand cast in high quality polystone, hand-finished and hand painted to exacting standards. Expected to ship in early 2009, the diorama is available for preorder for $224....

First Look Chuck Palahniuk S Choke

First Look: Chuck Palahniuk’s Choke By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 1, 2007 3:25 pm EST David Fincher’s big screen adaptation of Fight Club is one of my favorite films of all time. The book and author behind the book are even better than that. I’ve been waiting for years for Chuck Palahniuk’s Survivor to become a film. If there were a top 10 list of unadapted novels, Survivor would probably be in the top five, somewhere close to Catcher in the Rye....

Frank Miller Updates His 300 Follow Up Xerxes

Frank Miller Updates His 300 Follow Up: Xerxes By Brendon Connelly/Dec. 15, 2009 9:12 am EST I think that Zack Snyder’s 300 was one of the more surprising big hits of recent years, a film that somehow managed a sizeable box office return despite having no stars, an unfashionable genre and setting and that oft-avoided R-rating from the MPAA. Perhaps – shock horror – it suggested that none of those apparent hurdles were hurdles at all....

Jason Reitman’s First Kiss In Kindergarten Cop By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 25, 2009 11:48 am EST Before the Best Director nomination, before Up in the Air, Juno, Thank You For Smoking and even his wonderful short films, director Jason Reitman appeared as an “actor” in a bunch of films. In the 1980’s and 1990’s, Jason’s father, director Ivan Reitman, gave him small cameo roles in some of his movies. Jason played Granger Grandson in Twins, Brownstone Boy #2 in Ghostbusters II, the Vice-President’s son in Dave, the Wrong Kid in Alley in Father’s Day, and most importantly Kissing Boy in Kindergarten Cop....

Lol The Slimey Epic Fail Cabinet For Oliver Stone S W

LOL: The Slimey EPIC FAIL Cabinet For Oliver Stone’s W. By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 17, 2008 3:01 pm EST With potential for yet another mind-shattering Republican satire hanging in the balance, Vanity Fair has published the first look at the entire 2003 cabinet in Oliver Stone’s W. There’s a good overall likeness, sure, but I dig the quirky soap opera-esque caricature Stone seems to be shooting for. What better way to portray the walking jokes and greedy, delusional scumbugs that raped my early 20s?...

M Night Shyamalan Launches Official Website/Interactive Experience By Peter Sciretta/June 23, 2009 9:39 am EST Director M Night Shyamalan has finally launched his official website. And as you might expect, its far from traditional. MNightShyamalan.com transports you into a dark mansion (possibly haunted) where you walk around and uncover clues which grant you access to rooms/locations from Shyamalan’s film history. I know this probably sounds like one of those annoying flash sites, where you’d rather just have easy access to a menu....
