/Film Mentioned On G4’s Attack Of The Show By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 6, 2007 9:55 am EST Apparently /Film was briefly mentioned and shown on G4TV’s Attack of the Show yesterday. They were talking about the Ray Park G.I. Joe casting news story that we broke on Tuesday during “The Feed” segment hosted by Kristin Holt. I used to be an avid viewer of this program back in the day (and by back in the day, I think I mean a couple years ago), and The Screensavers before that, when the network was still called TechTV....

Cool Stuff: Dark Knight Promotional Items From The Joker By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 14, 2008 9:00 am EST Most of us are aware of the viral baked cakes sent to the media to promote The Dark Knight, but back in December soft rocker John Mayer received something arguably cooler. Inside a package from a fictional company called Gotham Novelties, Inc., he discovered a limited edition Joker t-shirt and a worn playing card; its backside scribbled with maniacal red “HA"s....

Dicky shepherded his half-brother “Irish” Micky Ward in a Rocky-like rise to world lightweight champion....

First Trailer And Festival Buzz For A Single Man By Russ Fischer/Sept. 14, 2009 1:54 pm EST When I heard that Tom Ford was making a movie with Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, I was intrigued at the notion of him switching media, yet not all that interested in seeing the film. Ford is the designer who spent ten years (‘94 to ‘04) as creative director of Gucci and brought the fallen and nearly bankrupt brand back to prominence....

Jackie Chan Starting Up “Junior Soldiers” By David Chen/Nov. 4, 2008 7:11 pm EST What is it about Hollywood money that completely destroys Asian film greats? As an Asian-American raised on pop Asian action classics like Hard Boiled, Drunken Master 2, and Once Upon a Time in China, I’ve seen virtually every one of my childhood heroes fall dramatically in stature after coming stateside. John Woo made Paycheck. Jackie Chan appeared in the Tuxedo and Rush Hour 3....

Joss Whedon And Eliza Dushku Teaming For Feature Film By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 26, 2010 6:42 pm EST Though their recently deceased TV series Dollhouse was not the ratings hit it perhaps should have been, definitely when you consider the heights it ultimately reached in creative terms, the signs are good for an imminent upcoming collaboration between geek god Joss Whedon and his buttock-whupper muse Eliza Dushku. Dushku was stopped last night on the red carpet for the Discovery Channel’s Life, and before she got to discussing her plans with Joss, she had to answer the inevitable going-nowhere question on Ghostbusters 3:...

Old Dogs Kills Wild Hogs 2 By Russ Fischer/Dec. 16, 2009 8:28 pm EST Another movie bites the dust at Disney. At this point the studio is 2 for 3 when it comes to killing off projects that sound utterly lousy. This is a trend I could get to like if I wasn’t certain it’ll eventually affect something good. After preemptively striking down both Wedding Banned and the new 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (maybe making the score 3 for 3, depending on your taste for underwater adventure) Disney has taken Wild Hogs 2: Bachelor Ride out behind the woodshed and shot it....

Star Trek XI To Be Titled Star Trek By Peter Sciretta/March 9, 2007 12:36 am EST Paramount executives have decided to keep it simple and call JJ Abrams’ Trek film, “Star Trek”. It might just work. “That’s the intended title. I don’t think we want to put any colons or anything on it,” Star Trek XI screenwriter Robert Orci told MTV. “It’ll be the biggest one. The economic models of the other [films] were very much based on the fans out there and their purchasing power....
