I Am Legend Prequel

I Am Legend Prequel By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 24, 2008 8:54 pm EST It is official, Warner Bros has greenlit a prequel to I Am Legend. Will Smith has signed on to reprise his role as Robert Neville, and Francis Lawrence has returned as director. Looks like Lawrence won’t be finding time to work on Chuck Palahniuk’s Survivor anytime soon. According to Variety, D.B. Weiss (The Game) is writing the script based on a detailed plot outline that was developed over the past few months by Smith, Lawrence, Akiva Goldsman (producer and screenwriter of the original)....

John August S The Nines Movie Poster

John August’s The Nines Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 9, 2007 9:51 am EST JohnAugust and Cinematical have posted the theatrical one-sheet poster for John August’s directorial debut The Nines. Guys, this was my favorite movie of Sundance 2007. There isn’t an easy way to describe The Nines without ruining much of the plot. The plot summery I’ve seen floating around the web describes the film: A troubled actor, a television show runner, and an acclaimed videogame designer find their lives intertwining in mysterious and unsettling ways....

Lucas Has Idea For Indiana Jones 5 Spielberg Labeouf And Ford Don T Rule It Out

Lucas Has Idea For Indiana Jones 5; Spielberg, LaBeouf, And Ford Don’t Rule It Out By Peter Sciretta/May 16, 2008 7:02 pm EST And I’m betting that like most Hollywood contracts, LaBeouf probably has stipulations which lock him into a sequel/spin-off if Paramount wanted to make one, despite what LucasFilm claimed last year. And LaBeouf says he would be interested. Harrison Ford told USA Today in April that “he also might consider a fifth installment of Indiana Jones, though he hopes it wouldn’t take 20 years to pull together....

New Push Clip: Psychic Showdown By David Chen/Jan. 23, 2009 10:43 am EST Am I the only one who’s moderately looking forward to Paul McGuigan’s Push? Granted, the premise is strikingly similar to Heroes, but to me, it looked like a movie version of Heroes without all the terrible campiness, dialogue, and acting. Plus, Paul McGuigan’s Lucky Number Slevin, while not a great film, showed a lot of promise. Still, the premise of the film (i....

Rant: I’m Boycotting Political Correctness By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 10, 2008 11:22 pm EST Tropic Thunder might be the funniest movie of the Summer. And when anything is so extremely enjoyable, there must also be an evil entity trying to put a stop to the pleasure. And like any good story, the villain in this case isn’t a cliche bad guy, attempting to rid the world of laughter. Not at all. In fact, I’m sure they believe they are doing the right thing for the betterment of this country, humanity, etc....

The ride has been part of the park’s tram tour for over 20 years. But when the fire destroyed the attraction many speculated that Universal would replace it with a ride based on a more recent movie property....

Rotten Tomatoes reports that Scott’s remake is still a going concern (for a minute, we thought it might be dead) and that it will be set amidst the gang culture of modern Los Angeles....

Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see Earth fall apart on the big screen, but I’m not going to see this movie for the story or the characters. Its pure computer generated spectacle. Someone decided to reedit the 2012 trailer using 70’s-era titles and Grindhouse-like music....

VOTD: Lost’s Oceanic 815 Crash In Real Time, 24-Style By Devindra Hardawar/Jan. 25, 2010 5:00 am EST There are simple mashups, and there are mind-numbingly complicated ones. This is one of the latter. Youtube user pyram1dhead took it upon himself to recreate Lost’s Ocean 815 crash in 24-style real time, complete with split screen. The result is a 10-minute long mashup that perfectly whets your appetite for Lost’s return. There are quite a few scenes in here that I’ve completely forgotten about, and that alone has convinced me that I need to begin rewatching the series from the beginning soon....
