Peter Dinklage In Talks For Knights Of Badassdom, Synopsis Revealed By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 20, 2010 5:43 pm EST Peter Dinklage is reportedly in talks to take a role in Joe Lynch’s horror/comedy/adventure The Knights of Badassdom. The film was produced and co-written (with Kevin Dreyfuss) by Matt Wall, producer of Dinklage’s upcoming St. John of Las Vegas so there’s clearly a relationship there and I can imagine anybody lucky enough to get Dinklage in one of their films would try and get him back over and over again....

Terminator 4 To Be PG-13 By Peter Sciretta/May 5, 2008 12:06 am EST Last summer one of the big stories was the trend of PG-13 over R-Rated action movies. Live Free or Die Hard opted for teenage friendly over intense action and graphic language, and the film went on to gross over $380 million worldwide, the highest for the series.

Transformers 2 Video Blog #2: Pampering Megan Fox By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 17, 2008 2:09 pm EST Walmart presents a second featurette from the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
