New Images Of The Incredible Hulk By Hunter Stephenson/Feb. 15, 2008 7:42 pm EST These photos of a promo statue for The Incredible Hulk popped up over at Cinematical and were apparently snapped at a toy fair. In what’s probably a clear indicator of the Hulk’s size in this June’s reboot starring Edward Norton, note the lady and decked-out Humvee to the statue’s right (as well as a new poster of sorts)....
New Photos: Jake Gyllenhaal In Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time By Peter Sciretta/March 7, 2009 7:43 pm EST I’m not sure where these photos originated from, but The Huffington Post has two photos of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan from Disney’s adaptation of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Mike Newell’s film, based on the popular video game, tells the story of an adventurous prince who teams up with a rival princess to stop an angry ruler from unleashing a sandstorm that could destroy the world....
Paranormal Activity Producers Set Up Hitchcockian Thriller The Jealous One By Russ Fischer/Oct. 8, 2009 9:45 am EST Oh, delicious irony. This is the tenth anniversary of The Blair Witch Project, and to celebrate we have the release of The Blair Wit…er, Paranormal Activity. The inheritor of the witch’s low-budget, word of mouth horror crown has scored a massive PR coup by generating enough interest to earn a wide release, and director Oren Peli is already at work on his next film, Area 51....
Paul W.S. Anderson Writing Resident Evil 4 Script Soon By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 20, 2008 12:25 am EST Do we really need another Resident Evil sequel? Paul W.S. Anderson thinks so. Of course, he isn’t known for his good ideas, or filmmaking skills, or… well, all he he’s really known for is having made some really shitty genre films. The director tells the Sunday Sun that he’s writing “an adaptation of the Long Good Friday right now, set in present-day Miami....
Pulitzer-Winning Playwright To Adapt Children’s Series The Guardians For Dreamworks Animation; Film Gets New Director And Release Date By Russ Fischer/Nov. 3, 2009 7:03 am EST Variety reports that Pulitzer Prize winner David Lindsay-Abaire will adapt the story for the film called simply The Guardians. Lindsay-Abaire has already been nominated for a Tony for his work on the book and lyrics for Shrek the Musical, so I suppose he’s a good choice to write a film in which Jack Frost, North (aka Santa), Bunnymund (the Easter Bunny), Tooth (the Tooth Fairy), and Sandy (the Sandman) fight the Boogeyman....
Richard Dreyfuss Joins Alex Aja’s Piranha 3D By Hunter Stephenson/April 23, 2009 11:50 am EST We’ve been anticipating writer/director Alex Aja’s revamp of Joe Dante’s delectable Piranha for what seems like light years now. But the wait for his schlock-tastic Piranha 3D would appear to be worth it, what with a snarky badass like Adam Scott (Step Brothers, Party Down) starring in the lead. Today, Page Six confirmed that The Weinstein Company has also brought on Richard Dreyfuss, the man who previously battled Jaws, a lame Opus, liverspots, and CHUD, for an unspecified role....
Roland Emmerich’s 2012 Gets Its Release Date Pushed Back To November By David Chen/Jan. 20, 2009 7:32 pm EST The other day, we posted about how Roland Emmerich was attached to direct Isaac Asimov’s classic Foundation trilogy. That article provoked a wave of ill will against Emmerich from many who were dubious of his ability to handle anything approaching subtlety. But despite my feelings towards Emmerich, I was still willing to give his upcoming film, 2012, a chance....
Sacha Baron Cohen’s Avatar Sketch Cut From The Oscars To Spare James Cameron’s Feelings By Devindra Hardawar/March 3, 2010 1:27 pm EST We’ve seen the sort of responses Cohen can gather from unsuspecting bystanders in Borat, Bruno, and Da Ali G Show, and it’s a shame that we’re not going to see how James Cameron would react to a mockery of his mega-hit film. I can understand why the Oscar producers would be nervous, but I’m not sure how anyone can bring Cohen onto a project and not expect him to offend someone....
Samuel L. Jackson Denies Nick Fury Appearance In Thor, But Has New Self-Created Franchise Coming By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 26, 2010 8:01 am EST Having signed Samuel L. Jackson up for a many, many picture deal to reprise Nick Fury, Agent of SHIELD across a whole range of tied-together movies, I can’t see Marvel would fail to employ him in a single one. We’ve know for a while that he’s definitely cropping up in Iron Man 2, and it was reasonable to assume he’d also show for Thor....

And it was bound to happen eventually…. Uwe Boll has made a good movie. Not a great movie, but a decent film.
