After the jump we’ve included 21 different items, fun images, videos, casting tidbits, articles of interest and more. It’s like a mystery grab bag of movie web related goodness.

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4 To Follow Captain Jack’s Search For Atlantis? By Peter Sciretta/June 19, 2007 11:48 pm EST I wonder how credible CB’s source could be if he can’t even spell Michael J. Fox’s name right. Anyway, let’s pretend that he has some inside information. What is the Disney flick the scooper alludes to? Atlantis: The Lost Empire. That’s right, Captain Jack could be in search for the lost world of Atlantis....
Rambo To Hell And Back By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 11, 2007 9:54 pm EST Lionsgate has announced a new title for Sylvester Stallone’s latest Rambo film: Rambo to Hell and Back Yeah, we all thought it was going to be “John Rambo”, but it appears that they have come up with a more marketable title.

Strangest Team-Up Ever: Brett Ratner And Noah Baumbach By Russ Fischer/Feb. 19, 2010 1:58 pm EST I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone just typing that title. The other day we told you that Ben Stiller was looking to take the lead in a film called Trump Heist (likely to be retitled Tower Heist) which had formerly been conceived as a “black Oceans 11”. Brett Ratner has been attached to direct for a long time, and remains so....
The /Filmcast: After Dark Ep. 16 (GUEST: Vic Holtreman) By David Chen/Sept. 12, 2008 5:03 pm EST The /Filmcast: After Dark is a recording of what happens right after The /Filmcast is over, when the kids have gone to bed and the guys feel free to speak whatever is on their minds. In other words, it’s the leftover and disorganized ramblings, mindfarts, and brain diarrhea from The /Filmcast, all in one convenient audio file....
The Art Of Tim Burton By Brendon Connelly/April 29, 2009 5:10 pm EST Subscribers to Tim Burton’s official website have tonight received an e-mail announcing The Art of Tim Burton, a limited edition hard cover book that will feature over 1000 illustrations on over 400 pages. I’ve posted the announcement image at the head of this post, having first wiped my virtual saliva off of it. Burton’s distinctive aesthetic has no doubt helped win him any number of fans, but there are also plenty of loud voices of dissent that don’t seem too pleased with his Gorey-Seuss-Hammer Horror vibe at all....
TIFF Movie Review: Captain Mike Across America By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 6, 2007 4:26 pm EST Captain Mike Across America is not as strong as most of Michael Moore’s other documentaries. It’s also not quite as funny. But that’s probably because it’s a very different film than any of Michael’s previous works. In the same way as Dave Chappelle’s Block Party is very different from every other Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine, Be Kind Rewind) film....

VOTD: The Democratic Party’s Presidential Race In Eight Minutes By Peter Sciretta/June 9, 2008 1:00 am EST The Democratic Party’s Presidential Race in Eight Minutes by SlateThe Pitch: I know this isn’t a political site, but I found the Slate’s eight minute round up of the democratic party’s presidential race better edited than most political documentaries. It’s also a good primer for anyone who hasn’t been paying attention. Watch More Cool Videos Here!...

While making an individual deal like this comes off as a big FU to the AMPTP, having some writers working while others stand in the streets, may cause trouble among members in the writers union....
AMC 2008 Best Picture Showcase By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 6, 2008 11:08 am EST As much as people like to complain about AMC, but every year they run the Best Picture showcase. What is the AMC 2008 Best Picture Showcase? It is when they show all five films nominated for Best Picture in one day, one ticket, free large popcorn with unlimited refills for only $30. It’s a deal and a a half....
By Russ Fischer/Feb. 3, 2010 9:02 am EST It says a lot about the performance of Christian Bale as the murderous banker Patrick Bateman that, when most people hear the title American Psycho, they immediately think of Mary Harron’s 2000 movie rather than the original novel by Bret Easton Ellis. Can any cohort of singing and dancing performers hope to upstage Bale’s Bateman, or even stand up to it? Let’s hope so, as American Psycho is being adapted as a stage musical....
Brian White Off To Cabin In The Woods As Well As Tyler Perry’s Next By Brendon Connelly/March 23, 2009 9:39 am EST …but I can hardly get into heavy spoilerage here, can I? Let me just say that as Truman, White shares his scenes (at least for the great majority of the film) with the previously cast Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, rather than the lambs to the slaughter played by Kristen Connolly, Chris Hemsworth, Anna Hutchison, Fran Kranz and Jesse Williams....
