Scott’s Pilgrims In Action By Brendon Connelly/April 2, 2009 2:35 am EST Unofficial paparazzi pictures from the shoot of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World have been turning up and then vanishing again on any number of Candian blogs and news sites. Most of them had been removed within just a couple of hours of posting, and those that did remain were definitely of the “candid” variety – ie; everybody’s stood around sucking cancer out of little burning sticks, everybody’s trying to drown themselves in coffee, nobody’s actually in hipster martial arts garage band action....

The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor Teaser Trailer - What Do You Think? By Peter Sciretta/May 16, 2008 1:15 am EST Universal has released the official teaser trailer for The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. While some of the production photos actually gave me a little hope, I think this new trailer proves there is no hope. What was I thinking, this movie is directed by Rob Cohen, the same guy responsible for Stealth, xXx, and The Fast and the Furious....

Some films rely on your willingness to invest a great deal of time and energy to analyze their themes and explore what they’re trying to say in order to appreciate them. Better films allow you the privilege of having no idea what the point is without detracting from the overall enjoyment of the experience....

Andy Samberg By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 18, 2008 11:55 pm EST Mark Wahlberg vs. Andy Samberg The Pitch: On the last Saturday Night Live, Andy Samberg did a sketch called Mark Wahlberg Talks to Animals, which was essentially a two minute imitation of Wahlberg. We featured the video http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/10/06/votd-mark-wahlberg-talks-to-animals/">in a previous VOTD. This past week Wahlberg appeared on Jimmy Kimmel. The above video shows Mark’s reaction to the Sketch....

What Will Cloverfield/1-18-08 Be Titled? Exclusive Photo! By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 5, 2007 1:30 am EST The title for the JJ Abrams produced monster flick has been in question since day one. Originally it was codenamed Cloverfield (presumably named after the street and airport near Bad Robot’s production office). On set they used a bunch of different production names: Slusho!, Cheese, and Chocolate Outrage. You can see by this exclusive photo I was sent by someone on the crew, that even the production didn’t know what to call all itself....

2009 Independent Spirit Awards Nominations By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 2, 2008 5:44 pm EST It’s impossible to pay attention to all the movie awards announcements each year, because there are just so many of them. But the Independent Spirit Awards is one of the second tier (read: non-Academy/Globe) Awards shows that I actually respect and pa attention to. Today the 2009 Indie Spirit nominations were announced. Frozen River and Ballast lead with six nominations each, followed by Rachel Getting Married with five nominations, The Wrestler, Milk, Vicky Cristina Barcelona and The Visitor with three each....

AVATAR Trailer On Transformers 2? By Peter Sciretta/May 20, 2009 10:47 am EST According to the report, the trailer is 2 minutes and 41 seconds long, meaning it would be 20th Century Fox’s MPAA exception of the year. The MPAA allows a trailer to be a maxim of two minutes and a half, with each studio allowed one exception per year. Apparently the trailer would be broadcast in 3D on Digital screens and potentially also IMAX, but most of the theaters screening the Transformers 2 sequel would be left without 3D glasses....

Avatar Updates - Trailer Comparison Video And International Posters By Brendon Connelly/Oct. 31, 2009 6:44 am EST I think the real world (or le monde, as the image has it above) is starting to wake up to James Cameron’s Avatar. Within the last two days I’ve been asked about the film by three non-cineaste and non-geek folk, the type who seldom go to the cinema at all and rarely take a punt on anything in some way off the wall or ‘risky’....

Bret Easton Ellis Adaptation The Informers Loses Entire Vampire Sub-Plot With Brandon Routh? By Hunter Stephenson/March 27, 2008 11:21 pm EST Compared to most authors, onetime New York it-boy Bret Easton Ellis’s works have had a pretty good translation record at the cinema. American Psycho, The Rules of Attraction and Less Than Zero were all pretty faithful, quality adaptations that kept Ellis’s sensational penchant for drugs, kinky sex and sociopathic detachment intact....
