WHAT?!?: Has The Ending/Mega-Spoiler For Terminator 4 Been Revealed? By Hunter Stephenson/June 3, 2008 9:03 am EST “I have arrived to destroy your Internetz!” We’ve held off on posting about the gargantuan Terminator 4 spoiler that hit AICN yesterday because it just seemed so ’tarded. Then again, this is a PG-13 Terminator with a subtitle that belongs on a Madonna biography, so anything can happen. Well, CHUD has connected the dots based on their own inside info and the verdict is that the ending/mega-spoiler may very well be legit....

88 Minutes Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 25, 2008 8:35 pm EST Ladies and gentlemen, what we have here is a robbery. I saw 88 Minutes on the new release shelf of a movie rental store last summer and it is, without question, a straight-to-DVD Al Pacino vehicle and already pinned as the worst film of his career. And now, today we have a new trailer because Columbia Pictures has reached the awesome decision to release it theatrically on April 18, 2008....

An Inconvenient Truth Sequel? By Peter Sciretta/April 22, 2008 2:30 pm EST Nobel Peace Prize-winner Al Gore has told the The Sun last week that he would make a sequel to his Oscar-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth. “I will make a sequel to the 2006 documentary ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ and despite earths ‘rising fever’, I am hopeful for a happy ending,” said Gore. “I have to say the situation has not improved since I made the movie in 2006....

Another Watchmen Poster - No More Masks By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 2, 2009 10:31 am EST Our friends at Trailer Addict got their hands on another cool Watchmen movie poster. You’re probably thinking the same thing that I was when I got the e-mail — I thought the “Last Watchmen Poster” was supposed to be the final poster? Well apparently not. Either that or it’s a fan creation, and if it is, it’s a good one....

BeeCeuticals Sues Bee Movie By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 2, 2007 11:58 pm EST Anyone who has listened to The Howard Stern Show in the last year will surely recognize the a company called BeeCeuticals because of the consistent advertisements, and the fact that the owner of the organic skin care company is the famous shock jock’s cousin. /Film reader Meredith H just sent word that BeeCeuticals has filed a trademark-infringement lawsuit yesterday against the Paramount/Dreamworks, who is using the slogan “Give Bees A Chance” in their marketing....

Brett Ratner Leaves On The Lot: Did He Get FIRED Or Did He RUN AWAY? By Peter Sciretta/June 1, 2007 12:58 pm EST Okay, so Steven Speilberg’s new filmmaking reality tv show isn’t doing so well. And that’s unfortunate because it’s such a great idea but so badly executed. The ratings are hugely disappointing, the show is uninteresting at best, and now the two night “event” is being slimmed down to a one night show....

Christmas In Wonderland Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 11, 2007 12:01 pm EST I can imagine that someone went around Hollywood pitching this movie as “Home Alone meets Blank Check, but in a mall.” And it’s just that. Christmas in Wonderland is about three kids who just moved to to Edmonton with their Dad. When they go shopping at West Edmonton Mall they find counterfeit cash. They inadvertently help catch the crooks, and later make a discovery about Santa....

Cool Stuff: Building Your Own BumbleBee By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 19, 2007 5:21 am EST Loyal /Film reader Nash Doud and his father purchased a 1975 Cheverolet Camaro in August, with hopes to “Transform” it into BumbleeBee from Michael Bay’s Transformers. “We are still working on the car interior wise, but exterior wise the car looks pretty good.” If the photo above is any indication, the project is coming along great. But if only the car could actually transform into a real-size robotic Bumblebee… Maybe some day....

Cool Stuff: Movies - Ruining The Book Since 1920 T-Shirt By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 18, 2007 2:03 pm EST I first discovered this t-shirt a couple months back, but it was sold out. Thankfully Threadless decided to reprint Jayson Dougherty’s t-shirt design. As of this posting, all sizes are in stock, however I expect that to change fast. So pick up with cool t-shirt while it’s still available. Cool Stuff is a daily feature of slashfilm....

Darren Aronofsky Confirmed For Robocop By Peter Sciretta/July 24, 2008 5:03 pm EST MGM has confirmed that Darren Aronofsky will direct the upcoming Robocop sequel/reboot. David Self (Road to Perdition) is tapped to write a script, which is rumored to take place in “Present day Los Angeles, 20 years after the termination of the RoboCop program, the city decides to reinstate the program.” Phoenix Pictures’ co-presidents Brad Fischer and David Thwaites say it will be “an entertaining and provocative film,” which might be a stab at rumors of a possible PG-13 version....

David Mamet To Write And Direct New Anne Frank Picture By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 12, 2009 4:48 am EST One of the most famous stories of the Holocaust is that of Anne Frank, a young girl who kept a diary of her family’s attempts to evade the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands. Her father survived and after the war had her diary published wherefore it quickly became one of the most well known records of the suffering and atrocities of the time....

Dustin Hoffman To Direct Quartet By Russ Fischer/March 12, 2010 1:30 pm EST Dustin Hoffman may be ready to make his directorial debut. He’s in talks to helm Quartet, which is being written by Ronald Harwood based on his play by the same name. The story is about an aging, retired intelligence agent who has to fend off violent attacks by younger, better armed operatives. Oops. Wait. That’s the story for Red, the movie with Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and many more....

Greenberg Movie Trailer: Noah Baumbach Returns By Russ Fischer/Nov. 23, 2009 3:39 pm EST A song can make all the difference to a trailer. This first footage from Noah Baumbach’s new comedy / drama Greenberg could be seriously depressing, were it not for the bouncy ‘All My Friends’ by LCD Soundsystem. Ben Stiller, Rhys Ifans, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Greta Gerwig star in the film that was called Greenberg, then was untitled, and is now apparently called Greenberg once more....

HBO Picks Up U.S. Rights To Obama Documentary By David Chen/Nov. 6, 2008 11:33 pm EST The journalism from political campaigns that fascinates me the most isn’t actually what makes it to the media before the election; it’s the exhaustive and fascinating stories that are spun in excruciating detail by journalists after the fact. In the past, writers have embedded themselves deep within politicians’ inner circles, capturing key moments, setbacks, and victories, all under the condition that none of it sees the light of day until after the election....

Lost Boys 2 Officially Straight To DVD, Corey Feldman Talks Lost Boys 3 By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 3, 2008 7:18 pm EST Unlike all of the non-entities on The Surreal Life, Corey Feldman still has something to offer us. His band is tres lame, but if you’ve caught The Two Coreys on A&E (which is also terrible), Feldman still possesses the upbeat work ethic and fresh face of a confident young blood like Shia LaBeouf....

By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 2, 2008 1:38 pm EST I’ve been complaining about Netflix’s Watch Instantly feature’s lack of Mac compatibility for a while now. Even earlier this week when the company announced they had signed a deal to stream thousands of Starz movies on-demand, I was left angry that I wouldn’t be able to use the service, even though I’m paying for a membership. Good news Apple users, the official netflix blog says:...

Movie Review: Evan Almighty By Peter Sciretta/June 22, 2007 12:30 am EST When we last saw Evan Baxter (Steve Carell) in Bruce Almighty, he was Jim Carrey’s hard working smug Buffalo newscaster rival. Baxter has since been elected to Congress, winning on the campaign promise that he would “change the world”. When he asks God for his help, God (Morgan Freeman) not only listens but responds by asking Baxter to build a ark, Noah style....

New DC Entertainment Prez: “Vertigo Is Of Great Interest To Me” By Russ Fischer/Sept. 11, 2009 6:08 pm EST The new structure of DC Entertainment is one that promises good things for future movies based on DC titles. DCE president Diane Nelson has been one of the forces behind the direct to DVD label that has seen some great screen translations of classic DC characters. (The recent Green Lantern animation, for example, will be a standard against which the upcoming live-action film is judged....
