The September Issue Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 15, 2009 9:00 am EST Editor’s Note: This trailer was released a couple weeks ago, but we never got around to covering it. Now that we have the time, here it is. Amidst the on-going events of New York Fashion Week, the well-received Anna Wintour/VOGUE documentary, The September Issue, opened in limited release in select cities on Sept. 11th. Appropriately enough, say the snarks....

Video Clip From The US Remake Of Spaced By Brendon Connelly/March 3, 2010 6:00 pm EST Posted online as a showreel piece for the actor Federico Dordei, YouTube is currently hosting a clip reel from the ill-fated US attempt to remake Simon Pegg, Jessica Hynes and Edgar Wright’s sitcom Spaced. You can see it embedded below the break in all of its… er… glory. In case you don’t recall, the creators of the original were none too impressed with this redux....

VOTD: Quantum Of Bonds By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 12, 2008 12:00 am EST Quantum of Bonds The Pitch: “One Bond replaces the other, but it won’t go down without a fight.” Black20 is back, trying to recreate the magic of the popular viral movie trailer mash-up, Battle of the Batmans. Edited using Casino Royal (Daniel Craig’s first Bond film) and all of the Pierce Brosnan Bond films, Quantum of Bonds isn’t quite as good....
Watchmen: Warner Bros Says “Settlement Unlikely” By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 29, 2008 1:36 pm EST
Worst Idea Ever: Hilary Duff To Star In Bonnie And Clyde Remake By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 26, 2009 9:00 pm EST I have nothing against Hilary Duff. I’m sure she is a nice girl. I can’t speak towards her acting abilities, because the few films on her acting resume that I have seen, I conveniently don’t remember (or have tried to forget about). She’s certainly pleasant to look at, but being good to look at isn’t enough to earn you a lead role in a remake to one of the greatest films of all time....
Zack And Miri Make A Porno MPAA Approved Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 12, 2008 8:14 am EST The MPAA gave Kevin Smith so much trouble regarding the poster for Zack and Miri Make a Porno, that he has to resort to stick figures… Seriously! I like it better than the original design which ended up as the Canadian poster. Should be up in movie theaters this weekend. Zack And Miri Make A Porno MPAA Approved Movie Poster...
A Christmas Carol Japanese Trailer, With New Footage And A Ghost Story Tone By Russ Fischer/Oct. 16, 2009 10:41 am EST There’s a new Japanese trailer for A Christmas Carol, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Jim Carrey. But this clip, which uses quite a bit of new footage, is wildly different from the US trailers. Notably, it appears to be advertising a movie I might actually want to see....

Christian Bale Says “I’ll Be Back” In New Terminator Salvation TV Spot By Peter Sciretta/May 3, 2009 7:16 pm EST Warner Bros has begun airing two new television spots from Terminator Salvation, one of which features Christian Bale as John Connor, speaking the infamous phrase “I’ll Be Back.” Before you groan, in context it’s not nearly as cheesy as it sounds. And hey, we’ve already seen a young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) say “Come with me if you want to live…”, which in my opinion is 100 times cheesier....

Drag Me To Hell Movie Trailer By David Chen/March 11, 2009 11:17 am EST Before Sam Raimi made mega-blockbusters Spider-Man 1 through 3, he was revered by film geeks for films like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. His newest film, Drag Me To Hell, looks to be a return to form: Early buzz on the film has been pretty positive and a work-in-progress print of the film is scheduled to premiere at SXSW....
Fantastic Fest Review: Fanboys By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 18, 2008 11:55 pm EST I’ve heard many stories about the behind the scenes problems which pushed the release of Fanboys back again and agin, but having just left a screening of the finished version, a director’s cut by Kyle Newman, I can assure you that the problems have been greatly exaggerated. You have a very marketable cast, and a film which seems like an extremely easy sell to the target demographic....
First Look: The Love Guru By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 24, 2007 2:40 pm EST USA Today published the first photo (seen above) of Mike Myers and Jessica Alba in The Love Guru. I’ve heard from people in the know that this film might have huge potential. However, I’m not sure that I believe that to be true. One thing is for sure, Myers looks very scary in this new get-up. Official Plot Synopsis: In the comedy, “The Love Guru” (MIKE MYERS), Pitka is an American who was left at the gates of an ashram in India as a child and raised by gurus....

Frank Darabont To Fight For Indy 4 Writing Credit By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 13, 2007 2:16 am EST Frank Darabont has never been quiet about his horrible experience “wasting a year” writing Indiana Jones 4. Lucas ditched Darabont’s script and hired Spider-Man scribe David Koepp to pen Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls. However, everyone I’ve talked to close to the project has told me that Darabont and Koepp’s screenplays are very similar....

How Are The First Two Iron Man 2 Photos Connected? By Peter Sciretta/June 11, 2009 1:14 pm EST How are the first two official photos from Iron Man 2 possibly connected? Details after the jump. Paramount recently released the first photo of Mickey Rourke in costume as Whiplash. When the photo was released, I speculated that the photo was possibly Rourke’s first appearance in the suit, as the contraption looked like it was cobbled together with spare parts (very much like Stark’s Mark 1 armor)....
