First Look: Inglorious Bastards Farmhouse (Yes, A Big Deal!) By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 29, 2008 8:23 pm EST If you’ve read the script, admit it: you’re friggin’ giddy over a farmhouse photo. The beauty of Tarantino is that the man is a perfectionist, a mad hatter for realizing violent fairy tales that make reality his gimpy bitch. The Quentin Tarantino Archives has the first shots of the newly constructed French farmhouse that will open Inglorious Bastards in a soon-to-be-classic and nail-biting fashion....
FlickPicks: Like Fantasy Football, For Movie Geeks By Russ Fischer/Nov. 16, 2009 12:30 pm EST But if you have to talk box office, the best way might be to put it in the context of a game. So here’s FlickPicks, which basically operates like a fantasy football or baseball league, with players cast as theatre owners looking to maximize their returns. Cinematical pointed us to the online game. The basics of FlickPicks are easy to grasp: you own a movie theatre, and between Monday and Thursday you’ve got time to figure out what you’ll program for the weekend, and how many screens each film gets....

Jesse Eisenberg Cast In SuperBad Follow-Up, Adventureland By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 22, 2007 2:01 pm EST The Squid and the Whale star Jesse Eisenberg is set to star in SuperBad director Greg Mottola’s next film Adventureland. “I play a lot of directors’ awkward stages in their lives,” Eisenberg revealed to MTV, adding that the comedy won’t be nearly as broad as “Superbad.” “It’s probably closer [in tone] to ‘The Daytrippers.’” Based off Mottola’s own experiences at the Long Island amusement park, Adventureland is a period comedy film set in the 1980’s which follows a college graduate who was prepared to spend his summer in Europe before starting Grad School....

Michael Bay Talks Transformers 3, 4 And 5 By Peter Sciretta/June 11, 2007 12:29 pm EST To add more fuel to the Transformers sequel fire: Michael Bay told the press at the Asia junket/press confrence for Transformers that they would make a Transformers 3, 4, 5 if the reaction (ie box office) is good enough. So it looks like Transformers fanboys will just have to see the movie 8 or 9 times to guarantee a sequel....

By Russ Fischer/Feb. 1, 2010 10:16 am EST UPDATE: MTV was the first to hear back from Stewart’s publicist, who says the actor is not involved with the film. The title says it all.

Simon Pegg Watch - The World’s End, Paul, Ice Age 3 And Star Trek By Brendon Connelly/March 28, 2009 12:44 pm EST Entertainment Weekly have done alright by Simon Pegg fans this weekend, publishing a mini-interview that offers at least some new information on four of his upcoming projects (and name drops Tintin too).

Terminator Salvation Movie Trailer #2 By Peter Sciretta/March 2, 2009 4:12 pm EST Warner Bros has released the new trailer for Terminator Salvation, which will be attached to Watchmen, on Yahoo. The trailer gives us a better look at the story of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a man who discovers the hard way that he’s no longer human, and is instead a Cyborg Terminator. It’s kinda of like the opposite of The Matrix — instead of finding out that the world you know is fake, you discover that you are, in many ways, not who you thought you were....

By Hunter Stephenson/Oct. 4, 2009 6:14 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. The plot is playfully familiar in its simplicity with ’80s slasher and stalker films; Donahue stars as a college student named Samantha who is hard up for cash and—as fate has it—hired for a babysitting gig on the night of an eclipse. West is superb at capturing a certain college alienation that sets in to coincide with Fall, with church bells, an overcast sky, and even Samantha’s unslutty and alluring style, drawing me in until I cared about her as much as I wanted to see her take a shower....
The Karate Kid Remake Movie Trailer; Looks Surprisingly Watchable By Devindra Hardawar/Dec. 22, 2009 11:57 am EST Consider me shocked that The Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan actually looks like it may be a fun film. We’ve covered the film over the past year with increasing trepidation — especially when the studio decided to stick with the Karate Kid title instead of The Kung Fu Kid. But now we have the first trailer for the film, and somehow my first response isn’t to burn it at the stake....
