Cool Stuff: WETA’s $6000 Steampunk Raygun By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 7, 2008 6:00 am EST I never understood the concept of having weapons on display in your living room. But the idea of having fake steampunk-like rayguns on display sounds more appealing, I’m not sure why. When WETA isn’t making big screen magic in Lord of the Rings, they are making Dr Grordborts Infallible Aether Oscillators line of rayguns. The Rayguns are a line of 1:1 scale antique styled, limited edition, sci-fi hand weapon props....

How To Train Your Dragon Clip By Peter Sciretta/March 7, 2010 10:00 pm EST DreamWorks Animation has released a new clip from their upcoming film How To Train Your Dragon on ComingSoon. The clip features a Viking teenager named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) who is attempting to tie a harness to a dragon’s tail. The sequence seems like it would be a lot more impressive in 3D. Watch the clip now, embedded after the jump....

I Love You Phillip Morris International Trailer #2 By Russ Fischer/July 17, 2009 11:21 am EST In December of last year we saw an extended (3-minute plus) French promo reel for I Love You, Phillip Morris. Now there’s another trailer coming out of France that very likely will be a lot like what we get to see in the US closer to the film’s February 2010 opening. Starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor, I Love You, Philip Morris is a love story, a prison break story and a con man movie all in one....

International Hellboy 2 Character Posters By Peter Sciretta/May 19, 2008 1:52 am EST BadTaste.it has two new international movie posters for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. One of the character posters features Prince Nuada (Luke Goss), the other, the Angel of Death (Doug Jones). Click on the photo above to see the images slightly larger. I’m surprised that the U.S. character banners don’t feature any of the more visually interesting characters introduced in this new film, sticking to the three main leads: Hellboy, Liz and Abe Sapien....

Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s Return: Micmacs A Tire-Larigot International Movie Trailer By Russ Fischer/June 29, 2009 12:33 pm EST I don’t put much stock in movie nostalgia, but I still remember how thrilled I was by my first viewing of Delicatessen over fifteen years ago. Even with the weak elements of the movie taken into consideration, the world realized within is still one I like going back to. So I’ve been eager for actual footage from Micmacs A Tire-Larigot, the first film from Jean-Pierre Jeunet since 2004’s A Very Long Engagement....

The comedy. 146 pages. I’ll spend tomorrow taming it down to 120 pages or so. It’s really funny, really dirty, and really touching stuff. Granted, I’m biased. Now, onto Red State…” Smith wrote on his website. “Well, not now....

Lionsgate To Release Larry Charles/Bill Maher Anti-Religion Documentary By Peter Sciretta/July 13, 2007 2:51 am EST We’re really excited about this one. Someone has finally acquired US distribution rights to the Larry Charles/Bill Maher anti-Religion documentary.

The footage was said to be amazing, but most studios were afraid to make a move due to the controversial nature of the doc....

Look Who’s Talking Remake Coming Soon? By Brendon Connelly/March 31, 2010 1:26 pm EST I love Fast Times at Ridgemont High and I like Clueless plenty too, but pretty much every other Amy Heckerling picture has failed to click with me – and her last movie I Could Never Be Your Woman almost broke me. I remember when I was 16 and I shuffled off to see Look Who’s Talking and actually thought that because the Fast Times woman had directed it, things were going to work out a whole lot better than the trailer suggested....

Lost Boys 2: Theatrical Dreams Live On By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 10, 2008 2:48 pm EST “Take that you *&%$ DVD!” A week ago, we ripped an official decision by Warner Bros. to release Lost Boys 2: The Tribe straight to DVD, and asked for fans of the seminal ’80s horror flick back us up like Nanook. According to Corey Feldman via his ever-relevant blog, the film could still go theatrical and a final decision will be made in February....
