Warner Looks Towards The Departed Trilogy? By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 5, 2007 5:55 am EST Last week we told you that Warner Bros was hard at work on an sequel for The Departed. Well now it appears it may become a trilogy. But they are looking to turn Martin Scorsese’s success into a trilogy. According to inside sources, screenwriter William Monahan is not only hard at work on a script for a second film, but he’s also drafting an outline for a third film....
Watch This: Treevenge By Peter Sciretta/July 13, 2009 10:02 am EST Treevenge is probably the best short film I’ve seen on the film festival circuit this past year. The follow up short film from Yer Dead Productions Inc, the creative team that produced & directed last years award winning, and notorious Grindhouse trailer, Hobo with a Shotgun. Here is the official plot synopsis: Treevenge details the experiences and horrifying reality of the lives of Christmas trees....
William Monahan Talks The Departed 2 By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 19, 2007 5:59 am EST Ever since the award buzz kicked in, everyone seems to be talking about a sequel to The Departed. Some even say a trilogy is in the works. Considering the heavy body count, any follow-up should be a tough task. But don’t worry, screenwriter William Monahan has a plan. I read the prequel and sequel to Infernal Affairs for the first time a couple of weeks ago and there wasn’t anything I could use in Boston situation, not now....
By Hunter Stephenson/Aug. 26, 2008 8:58 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Recipe: Go into the closet and dust off Castle Grayskull. Place an E.T. figurine with its arms raised on one of the turrets. Pour a goblet filled with red wine all over it. Now set it on fire. Pretend it’s worth $47 million. Send a recording of this to The Weinstein Co. in New York and entitle it “Angry Outlander Fan....
A Christmas Story Fan Convention By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 15, 2008 2:16 pm EST Believe it or not, A Christmas Story was the first film I ever saw in a movie theater. Which is probably one of the reasons I feel more of an attachment to the film than most. I would be afraid to add all the hours of passive viewings over the years. When I was younger, 24 Hours of A Christmas Story would remain on my television set, from the first airing, to it’s last – playing in the background for the entire Christmas holiday....
Anna Faris Drops Out Of The Linda Lovelace Biopic Inferno By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 19, 2008 11:10 am EST Oh noes. With The House Bunny nom’ing on close to $50 million at the box office, Anna Faris dished to MovieHole that she’s dropped out of the 2009 Linda Lovelace biopic Inferno to focus on comedies. Damn you, smart business sense. Over the summer, Faris expressed enthusiasm in playing Lovelace, troubled “star” of the infamous fellatio pic, Deep Throat, who later became an anti-porn crusader and died in a car accident....
Arthur Remake Nabs Director: Modern Family Producer Jason Winer By Russ Fischer/March 2, 2010 8:43 am EST I’m not sure what your reaction was upon hearing that Arthur, the ‘classic’ ’80s tale of class, alcoholism and romance starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minelli, was being remade. Mine was something along the lines of “…why?” The charismatic and free-spirited Russell Brand is taking on the role of a wealthy drunk staring down the barrel of an arranged marriage, and that might work....
Bruce Willis In Ocean’s Thirteen By Peter Sciretta/March 8, 2007 12:32 am EST Looks like Bruce Willis will return to the series with yet another cameo. “Bruce Willis is in this one too,” Bernie Mac revealed to MTV. In Ocean’s Twelve, Willis made a cameo appearance as himself. It has not been revealed if he will be playing himself again, or a new character. I would assume that he will be back in the same role as a reoccurring joke....
Bruno Gets An Epic Summer Blockbuster Release Date By Peter Sciretta/June 17, 2008 4:54 pm EST Universal has finally set a date for Sacha Baron Cohen’s follow-up to Borat.

Casting Notes: Chris Evans In Puncture; Julianne Moore And Kristen Stewart In Backwoods; David Oyelowo Is MLK In Selma By Russ Fischer/March 17, 2010 5:24 am EST Just in case Chris Evans doesn’t get the role of Captain America, he’s lined up another gig that he can shoot right now. He’s taken the lead role in Puncture, an indie drama about “a troubled young attorney who must come to terms with his own demons when taking on a healthcare giant....
Cool Stuff: Pub Corn - Alcohol Flavored Popcorn By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 21, 2009 6:00 am EST Cary Silverman, a Missouri college student has developed “Pub Corn”, an alcohol flavored popcorn. Unfourtunately the popcorn doesn’t have any alcohol content, but comes in various alcohol flavors such as beer, pina colada and Irish cream. No word on if we’ll ever see Pub Corn at your local multi-plex (I think not), but I’m sure some independent movie theaters (like maybe the Alamo Drafthouse) might jump onto the gimmick....
Early Reviews Of Valkyrie Label Tom Cruise As Laughable By David Chen/Nov. 19, 2008 10:09 am EST Despite a solid pedigree, with Bryan Singer and Christopher McQuarrie taking up directing and writing duties respectively, Valkyrie has taken a drubbing on the PR front, mostly because of people’s poisonous initial reactions to Tom Cruise as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg. A recent article at the NYTimes laid out what a high-stakes bet Valkyrie is for MGM Studios:...
Everybody Gets Gondry: Green Hornet News A-Go-Go By Brendon Connelly/April 14, 2009 10:15 am EST Okay, I know Peter linked to one Michel Gondry interview in the recent Page 2, but there’s a lot of Gondry chat around the web today and, to my mind, much of it is really interesting. Principally, he’s been giving interviews to promote his new, self-published compilation DVD. Like the Director’s Label disc he did a few years back, to one is jammed full of music videos and behind-the-scenes business and, frankly, I’d recommend anyone and everyone to get over to his official site, fire up the PayPal and order a copy of the most essential DVD release so far this year....
First Transformers 2 Photos Revealed By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 28, 2008 2:50 pm EST The new issue of Empire Magazine will have a preview of 2009’s Must See Movies, including a first look at Michael Bay’s Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Hostel: Part II Movie Trailer Now Online By Peter Sciretta/March 30, 2007 12:58 pm EST The full length movie trailer for Hostel: Part II is now online. Done in the same german voice over which we heard in the teaser, the full length trailer is a very creepy set-up for Eli Roth’s sequel. Although, I must complain that it feels more like a teaser because of its short running time and superimposed type....
IngloUrious BastErds By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 14, 2008 4:00 pm EST The Weinstein Co today sent out a press release announcing last week’s start of production on Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming WWII film Inglourious Basterds. You might notice that both words are misspelled, much like the early screenplay that got leaked onto the internet a few months back. That is the official title of the film, likely in an attempt to distinguish itself from the 1978 Enzo Castellari film which inspired Tarantino....
