Warner Bros Has Lost Krypton; Will Lose Superman In 2013 By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 13, 2009 7:28 pm EST This week, Warner Bros has lost Krypton. Last year a Federal judge decided that Time Warner was no longer the sole proprietor of Superman, and that the heirs of Jerome Siegel (of Siegel and Shuster) are entitled to a share of the US copyright to the character. This week a court ruled again, giving the Siegel family a larger share of the intellectual copyright....

X-Files 2 Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/March 28, 2008 1:47 am EST A new poster for the X-Files sequel has been found floating around the interwebs, although I’m not quite sure it’s real.

Someone in the fox art department deserves to be fired for this one…...
55-Minute Milk Interview On Charlie Rose By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 1, 2008 1:20 am EST If you’ve been reading /Film for a while, than you know that I love long form interviews. Unfortunately, the surge of online press has changed the entire press tour landscape. Its all roundtables or short 10-15 minute one-on-ones. I’m so happy that there are still shows out there like NPR’s Fresh Air and David Poland’s DP30 that offer an arena for an in-depth conversation....

Bruce Willis Says Die Hard 5 Could Shoot Next Year? Story Would Go Worldwide By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 22, 2010 3:06 pm EST I don’t usually cover “wish fulfillment stories”. For those of you who don’t know what I’m talking about, an interviewer at a junket asks a movie star, director or screenwriter if they’d ever do another sequel or remake of some popular movie. When faced with this question, the interviewee almost always says something like they’d love to do another one, if the story was right, and all the creative team came back....

Despicable Me Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 14, 2009 3:57 pm EST Earlier today I posted a complete listing of all the major 3D movie releases being developed for the next 4 years. One of the films was Universal Pictures and Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me, a computer animated film about a trio of orphan girls cause the normally deplorable Gru to rethink his plan to steal the moon. I kind of like the stylized character design....
Does Michael Myers Speak For The First Time In Halloween 2? Rob Zombie Denied. Today Confirms? By Hunter Stephenson/July 29, 2009 9:03 am EST While on the set of Halloween 2 earlier this year, an acquaintance and I witnessed a night scene in which a helicopter hovered above Michael Myers. We witnessed this scene again and again and again. On the first few takes, we laughed at the bizarre noise (and at the sheer giddy thrill of hangin’ in Haddonfield) being yelled by the towering actor Tyler Mane as Myers in said scene—I won’t reveal further details at this time....
Harrison Ford Confirms Spielberg And Lucas Have Agreed On A “Germ Of An Idea” For Indiana Jones 5 By Peter Sciretta/March 3, 2010 12:21 am EST In June of 2009, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull co-star Shia LaBeouf told reporters that Steven Spielberg had “cracked” the story for Indiana Jones 5 and he thinks “they’re gearing that up.” But as far as I can tell, no screenwriter has been hired to turn that idea into a script....

Iron Man: Official War Machine Concept Art By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 21, 2008 10:44 pm EST A while back, Yahoo posted a boat load of concept art from Jon Favreau’s Iron Man. Hidden in the piles of artwork is Phil Saunders concept art of War Machine. Forgive me if you’ve already seen this, but my initial google search shows that not many people noticed. “These three images I did at the very end of production as alternate suit designs that would have been in a Hall of Armor coda at the end of the film,” writes Saunders....
Marvin The Martian Movie Handed To Alex Zamm, Mike Myers To Provide Voice? By Brendon Connelly/Dec. 20, 2009 5:03 am EST I was a little surprised when a solo movie vehicle for interplanetary Looney Tune zealot Marvin the Martian was announced but that was some time ago and since then, I assumed it was dying a slow death out in the cold. Not so, apparently and Alex Zamm, director of the upcoming Bevery Hills Chihuahua 2 and previously attached to a Hong Kong Phooey adaptation, has been tapped to take on directing duties....
New Iron Man Photo By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 23, 2008 3:21 pm EST A new photo of Iron Man has appeared online and while it’s similar to the many others belonging to Jon Favreau’s Marvel champ, this is not unlike the thousands of photos of Kate Moss you’ve viewed over the years. Plus, Tony Stark’s suit looks a little angrier than normal and he’s flexing it like he’s in an ad for vitamins....
