Is Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds A Summer Blockbuster? By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 31, 2008 5:42 pm EST The Weinstein Co has finally set a release date for Quentin Tarantino’s next film. Inglourious Basterds will hit theaters on August 21st 2009 — that’s right, the film got a late Summer slot! I never imagined Basterds as a Summer movie. For some reason it seems like the type of movie which should be released in late Fall, during Award season....

Jaws On ‘Roids: The Gargantuan Shark Movie MEG Is Moving Foward…Again By Hunter Stephenson/April 13, 2008 5:46 pm EST “Tonight, we’ll grill some tuna, have a lil’ vino, some kissy kissy, it’ll be great!” In my opinion, MEG has maintained dibbs on “Award for Best Boner Shorts Concept Art” for a few years running. The 80-foot prehistoric pissed off shark movie–think death metal to Jaws’s hep jazz–needs to happen no matter what....
Joe Caranahan On The Hollywood Strike By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 15, 2007 9:46 am EST All this talk of a potential strike has got me thinking: Will the strike actually happen? All my friends who are currently working at Hollywood studios believe it will and have told me that the studios are preparing like it’s the end of the world. Instead of preparing for the worst, why aren’t the studios trying to make good and keep the unions happy?...
Jumper Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 10, 2007 10:39 am EST I don’t know about you guys but I’m beginning really getting excited for Doug Liman’s Jumper. Jumper is an epic sci-fi action film starring Hayden Christensen, Jamie Bell, Rachel Bilson and Samuel L. Jackson. Set in the future, Jumper is about a race of people called Jumpers who have the ability to teleport, and another ancient race who are out to kill them all (Want to know more about the film?...
Michael Pitt Disses Saw Fans, Soldiers, Funny Games Detractors By Hunter Stephenson/Feb. 16, 2008 11:55 am EST Brooklynite actor Michael Pitt has come a long way from starring on Dawson’s Creek, and in the current issue of Giant magazine he delivers, in context, some particularly vapid-funny-traditionally-hipster quotes about the Saw franchise, U.S. soldiers and people who won’t/don’t “get” the March remake of Funny Games. On his film preferences… “I don’t even know what Saw or Hostel are....
Movie Deadpool To Break Fourth Wall, Talk To The Audience By Brendon Connelly/July 3, 2009 10:00 am EST Ryan Reynolds has told Empire that he’s insistent on Deadpool’s habit of breaking of the fourth wall to carry over from the comics to the big screen. That means, in effect, that Deadpool/Wade Wilson will sometimes address the audience directly, as with Ferris Bueller, say, or the character of Paul in Funny Games....
Ridley Scott’s Monopoly Movie Premise Revealed By Brendon Connelly/Nov. 11, 2009 3:00 pm EST Er… okay. So it’s like Zathura or Jumanji then? Not what I had in mind. After the break, who this “he” is, and how he will get himself into this surrealist scrape in the first place. [H]e’s in this very vibrant place, Monopoly City, and he’s just come out of a Chance Shop. As it goes on, he takes on the evil Parker Brothers in the game of Monolopy....
Sherlock Holmes Producer Dan Lin On His Tom And Jerry, Bone Movie Adaptations By Devindra Hardawar/Dec. 22, 2009 1:43 am EST We last reported nearly a year ago that Warner Brothers was aiming to develop a live-action film version of Tom and Jerry, with the titular cat and mouse being CG. Needless to say, it seemed like a bad idea. Just recently our pal Frosty got a chance to speak with the film’s producer, Dan Lin (Sherlock Holmes, Terminator Salvation), and they also chatted about Lin’s upcoming CG adaptation of the fantasy epic comic Bone....
The Bourne Ultimatum International Teaser Trailer By Peter Sciretta/March 28, 2007 7:36 am EST The International teaser trailer for The Bourne Ultimatum (poster) is now online. While the new trailer doesn’t reveal/show much, but one can’t argue that it’s not intense. [flv:http://www.slashfilm.com/wp/wp-content/trailers/bourneultimatum.flv 450 190] Here is what we know: Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) continues to trace his past in order to find a future.

The Incredible Hulk Story Details Leaked By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 1, 2007 11:37 pm EST Our friends at IESB have gotten their hands on a 5-13-07 draft of Edward Norton’s The Incredible Hulk. The good news is that that they are raving about calling it an “incredible ride” that “will attract both fans and non-fans alike.” They claim it has the action and humor that the first film lacked. Here are some quick spoilers, read no further unless you want to know....

By Devindra Hardawar/Nov. 15, 2009 10:29 pm EST I’m not sure if this is the best possible way to increase Fringe awareness, but at least they’re backing this show more than they ever did Dollhouse. (And yes, I’m grateful Dollhouse got a second season, but their early meddling and Friday night time-slot didn’t help much.) Also, we learned that the upcoming Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica is getting a new showrunner, Kevin Murphy, who has served a variety of producing roles on Desperate Housewives and Reaper....

The website promises to have one-the-set production diaries and a production blog, but for right now there is a video introduction from director Frank Miller.

Watchmen 2 Looks Like A Real Possibility By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 3, 2010 12:11 pm EST Why hasn’t there ever been second series of Watchmen comics? It’s not as though Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons actually own the characters. Well, apparently, any talk of a sequel had been squashed, time and again, by Paul Levitz, former president of DC comics. He was very protective of the title, even denying the creators of the tie-in videogame to invent any new material at all....
Werner Herzog Plans To Create The Best Film School In The Universe By Russ Fischer/Sept. 22, 2009 10:11 am EST A lot of people go to film school to do sissy things like ’network’ and ‘make contacts’. Werner Herzog laughs at you. While you’re making a film about the evolution of your bedroom, Herzog is going to be teaching the real filmmaking skills of a master to small groups of hand-picked students....
What Doesn’t Kill You Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 26, 2008 7:25 pm EST One of the films that stuck with me since the Toronto Film Festival was the South Boston crime drama (yes, another one) What Doesn’t Kill You. Based on a true story of two childhood friends who turn to crime to get by. The film opens in a flash forward, with a trio of gangsters pulling a armored car robbery outside a small strip mall....
