Babylon A.D. Graffiti Ads By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 2, 2008 5:21 pm EST Apparently NBC/Universal did a simular promotion for USA Network’s The 4400. At first they denied involvement, blaming excited fans, but they were eventually fessed up. They were forced to pay fines of a couple hundred dollars per site.
Box Office: Despite Golden Globes Snub, Gran Torino Headed For A $46,250 PTA; HFPA Saves The Reader By Steve Mason/Dec. 14, 2008 12:26 am EST Gran Torino is turning out to be a bit of a Rorschach test for critics and awards voters. The National Board of Review gave Eastwood its Best Actor award while the Golden Globes passed him over. People seem to love the movie or loathe it. I am a huge Clint fan, but this doesn’t strike me as his best work....
Carla Gugino Replaces Salma Hayek In Faster By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 17, 2010 8:34 pm EST Carla Gugino (Watchmen, Sin City) has joined the cast of Faster, the George Tillman Jr.-directed revenge thriller starring Dwayne Johnson. It seems logical that Gugino is the replacement for Salma Hayek, who at the last minute (January 31st) dropped out of the project due to supposed “scheduling issues”. If so, that is definitely a step-up in terms of acting talent, but a step down in terms of star value and marketability....
Christopher Nolan Still Doesn’t Have A Story For Batman 3 By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 27, 2008 1:19 pm EST The LA Times was able to corner director Christopher Nolan at the SCREAM 2008 Awards, and ask the man behind The Dark Knight about the possibility of a potential third film. Here is what Nolan said: “Well … let me think how to put this. There are two things to be said. One is the emphasis on story....
Cloverfield: EthanHaasWasRight.com Videos On YouTube By Peter Sciretta/July 6, 2007 12:14 am EST Update: July 9th: JJ Abrams says Ethan Haas has “Nothing To Do With” Cloverfield So what happens when you complete each of the five puzzles on the Cloverfield viral website EthanHaasWasRight.com? You get a video. But why go through all the work of solving the puzzles when you can just watch the videos on YouTube? That’s what we did....

First Look: Kristen Bell In When In Rome By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 17, 2008 11:17 am EST Touchtone Pictures has just released the first two photos from the Kristen Bell / Josh Duhamel romantic comedy When in Rome. The film tells the story of an ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, who takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a “foolish” fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard)....
First Official Photos From Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 10, 2009 8:48 pm EST Fanboyz have scored a scan of the first three official photos from Disney’s live-action film The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. I’m guessing that the photos appeared in the same AMC catalog that the Alice in Wonderland photos were scanned from over the weekend. Click on over to Fanboyz to see the uncropped images in larger resolution....
First Three Minutes Of I Am Legend By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 13, 2007 6:51 pm EST You can watch the first three minutes of I Am Legend on Yahoo! Movies. It’s a pretty cool sequence with Will Smith and his dog Sam driving around trying to hunt deer in an abandoned New York City. Sadly, the animal effects you see in this clip are the best they get in this adaptation. Some of the creature effects later on in the story are horrendous (Van Helsing bad)....

IMAX To Feature Longer Cut Of Transformers 2 With “More Robot Fighting” By Peter Sciretta/June 7, 2009 6:07 pm EST Michael Bay has posted a new update on his official forum, confirming what I’ve heard from a variety of sources — Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen isn’t finished, even though the movie is set to premiere tonight in Tokyo, Japan. I’ve heard that the crew has been working around the clock, 7-days a week, to finish the movie and Bay says that the film is “almost finished....
Key Character To Be Animated In Soderbergh’s Moneyball By Brendon Connelly/May 6, 2009 11:55 am EST This is where the toon comes in, because the book depends on the wisdom of Bill James, a stats master who provided the underlying knowledge and theory to make Beane’s plan viable, and rather than cast an actor as James in the film, Soderbergh has decided to have him animated. Now, I don’t think Toon Bill is going to be walking about interacting with other characters, singing on stage at the Ink and Paint club and playing soccer with jungle animals....
LOST - What? By Peter Sciretta/April 7, 2008 11:51 am EST The viewers of LOST are not the only ones asking the question “What?” Apparently the word “What” is being overused on screen during the show. After the jump check out this hilarious video which recaps the use of the word “What” throughout seasons one through three of LOST. via: paulscheer LOST - What? By Peter Sciretta/April 7, 2008 11:51 am EST...

This includes the Caterpillar, as played by Alan Rickman and if I’m correct, we haven’t seen him before now. Get a look at the full spread and also a close-up of scan of Rickman’s wriggly alter ego after the break....
New Star Trek And Cloverfield 1-18-08 Movie Posters By Peter Sciretta/July 26, 2007 12:54 pm EST I’m sitting in Hall H for the Paramount panel, so this is a quick update. Paramount has given us the new posters for the JJ Abrams produced monster flick code-named Cloverfield and his upcoming Star Trek prequel. It looks liked “Monsterous” has been removed from the poster. I wonder if Paramount had secound thoughts about the potential title?...
