In The Loop S Armando Iannucci Planning Buster Keaton Style Comedy

In The Loop’s Armando Iannucci Planning Buster Keaton Style Comedy By Brendon Connelly/July 22, 2009 11:47 pm EST I most definitely wasn’t alone in loving In The Loop when it played in UK cinemas earlier this year and now that it is about to hit US screens on Friday, the love seems to be welling up on that side of the Atlantic too. Expect, I think, to be hearing very, very positive things from David Chen, for example....

Iron Man 2 In 2010

Iron Man 2 In 2010 By Peter Sciretta/May 1, 2008 12:14 pm EST At the Hollywood premiere of Iron Man, Viacom/CBS Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone and Paramount Pictures CEO Brad Grey told Entertainment Tonight that if the movie does as well as expected, Paramount will greenlight a sequel for the same week in 2010. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader already holds claim to the “first weekend of the summer” (May 7, 2010), but Iron Man 2 could easily open a week earlier on Friday, April 30th 2010 if all goes well....

Land Of The Lost Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 5, 2009 6:23 pm EST Universal has released a full length trailer for Land of the Lost on Subwayfreshbuzz.com. It’s basically an extended version of the teaser that played during the Super Bowl. We get to see more of the fantastical land in the alternative universe they become transported to.

Lol Superman Pwns Batman

LOL: Superman Pwns Batman By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 10, 2008 8:30 am EST Okay so Superman Returns didn’t make Dark Knight money and Clark is rightfully pissed off. But that wasn’t enough cause for Supes to tamper with The Dark Knight’s Bat Symbol… I’m not sure the origin of this picture. We found it on Superpunch, who found it on Say it Backwards, who found it on a random message board. Someone points out a visable mistake: that the superman symbol would project backwards into the clouds....

LOL: Well Duh! Cardiologist Calls Crank 2: High Voltage “Implausible” By Peter Sciretta/April 23, 2009 5:29 am EST The Guardian asked Cardiologist Simon Grant to review Crank 2: High Voltage from the logistical point of view. The resulting technical critique is actually rather amusing. Here is an excerpt: “Artificial hearts are pretty poor, primitive devices. They supply enough cardiac output to keep you slowly plodding around, but they certainly don’t allow for martial arts and sprinting....

He may not be a master storyteller, but the man is a visual powerhouse. Empire recently caught up with him and was able to coax some plot details and prospective talent on his next project, War of the Gods:...

The Stupidest Dark Knight Sequel Rumors Yet By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 17, 2008 6:18 pm EST The England-based newspaper The Sun is reporting that Eddie Murphy has been cast as The Riddler, and Shia LaBeouf has been cast as Robin in a sequel to The Dark Knight. Of course, this rumor is complete bullshit. It seems like the rumor mongers aren’t even putting effort into these things anymore. The news story isn’t even the slightest bit believable....

Venom Script Turned In To Sony Movie Still Kicking

Venom Script Turned In To Sony; Movie Still Kicking By Russ Fischer/Sept. 25, 2009 1:35 pm EST A lot of people want a Venom movie. Makes sense, I guess; he’s fanged, evil, oozing, looks great on screen. While villains that are so specifically the mirror image of a hero don’t do a lot for me, I see why people like the character. Sony likes the character because anything that can spin off from the success of Spider-Man is a good thing....

Video: Spider-Man 2.1 By Peter Sciretta/April 13, 2007 2:35 am EST A couple days ago we showed you the extended train fight sequence from Spider-Man 2.1, which hits store shelves next week. Now we have yet another look at more cut footage. Below you can watch a short clip of Daily Bugle editor-in-chief J. Jonah Jameson having fun in Spider-Man’s suit. Pretty funny stuff. You can definitely see why the scene was cut from the final film, it was probably too over the top funny for the context of the rest of the movie....

Propps also altered the color slightly (desaturating the picture and adding a green hue), but the big change is the music. This is a good example of just how how much music can change the intention of a film. The music came from a scene from a horror film titled The Dorm That Dripped Blood (scene here)....
