What Will Zombieland Director Ruben Fleischer Do Next? By Russ Fischer/Oct. 13, 2009 6:30 am EST Zombieland director Ruben Fleischer is a rare version of the young director with a hit movie on his hands: he didn’t walk into Zombieland’s release weekend with another movie set up, ready to go. That could have been a problem if the zombie flick had failed, but it definitely did not. So what will Fleischer do next?...

Armored Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/April 16, 2009 12:32 pm EST Screen Gems has released the first trailer for Nimrod Antal’s heist thriller Armored. To be completely honest with you, I haven’t really heard much about this film before the trailer was just released on Apple. And for good reason, this film looks like one of those middle of the road action movies you don’t hear about before or after it hits theaters – it just seems to float in and out of existence....

It reminded me of the “rumor waves” last year when everyone in the industry suddenly discovered The Long Halloween storyline and held it up as the script to Christopher Nolan’s second Batman sequel. According to StarPulse, Christian Bale not only considers Robin lame, he has threatened to remake The Machinist as a documentary if the character crosses his path…...

Comic Con: Dexter Season 3 Previewed By Jon Christensen/July 25, 2008 2:24 am EST I find one of the best shows on television today is Showtime’s serial killer drama Dexter.

After waiting over an hour just to sit in the back of an auditorium, I was able to view the newest trailer for the third season....

The design by Jared Moratis created the art as a commentary about rabid Obama fan-mania coupled with his missteps as a new leader, as well as a commentary about appropriation art. The artist assures us that while some may assign “sort of racist, hate-filled vibe to it”, that was not his intention at all....

Enchanted Promotional Poster Art Revealed By Peter Sciretta/March 14, 2007 8:29 pm EST Earlier this month we published the first photos from Kevin Lima’s (Tarzan) half animated / live-action crossover Enchanted. Thanks to AICN, we have the first batch of promotional poster art. The one to the left is my favorite. It’s the best mixture of Disney fairy tale and live action. Lets hope they don’t use the “Still Waiting for a Prince?...
