Wolverine 2 Script Finished; Shoots January 2011 By Russ Fischer/March 3, 2010 3:14 pm EST Roger Friedman reports that Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, Valkyrie) has turned in a script, and that it is, according to Friedman, “a little different than we originally thought.” The basics are what we expected to hear: McQuarrie’s draft is loosely based on the early ’80s mini-series by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller that helped establish Wolverine as one of Marvel’s major characters....

Alexandre Aja’s Piranha Goes 3D By Hunter Stephenson/Feb. 12, 2008 3:36 am EST We at /Film haven’t mentioned Alexandre Aja’s 2009 remake of Piranha until now, but something about this project feels incredibly spot-on to me. As Mickey Knox would say with a deranged grin and a smack of his chewing gum: “It’s fate.” STYD has received word that the film will now be shown theatrically in 3D. Are we really going to be privy to reaching out and swatting away thousands of fresh water Jaws imitators chewing viciously at the knees of nubile, arrogant life guards?...
Cat Ladies Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/June 24, 2009 8:11 am EST One can be forgiven if graphic fantasies of Bob Barker spiraling around with a chainsaw become impossible to ignore by the two-minute mark of the trailer for Cat Ladies. The documentary by newcomer Christie Callan-Jones is currently touring the indie fest circuit to generally positive, if unsettling, reviews. However, the doc’s mission statement seems to snarf at the inevitable snark: “[Cat Ladies] unravels the real story behind the oft-ridiculed ‘cat lady’—a cultural stereotype and figure of ridicule for women of a certain age with too many furry companions....

Could Star Wars: The Force Unleashed Be A Big Screen Movie? By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 30, 2008 12:18 pm EST Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is one of the few video games I’ve seen that immediately feels like a movie.

Essay: Is Kevin, The Tropical Bird In Pixar’s UP, A Nod To The LGBT Movement? By Hunter Stephenson/June 9, 2009 11:35 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. But heated discussions about Disney’s movies, especially in this case, do have precedent: clips from the studio’s infamous 1946 film, Song of the South, are forever available to support and fan the issues of political correctness. Moreover, theories about sociological, hidden and subliminal messages in Disney films and characters are so prevailing that I have enjoyed intriguing classes on the very subject in junior high (for free) and at university (for a repossessed Porsche)....

HBO Greenlights Game Of Thrones Series, Signs Precious Director Lee Daniels To Develop A New Show By Russ Fischer/March 3, 2010 10:25 am EST I’ve had people tell me to read George R.R. Martin’s fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire for years, but I’ve never been terribly interested.
