Pushing Daisies Creator Bryan Fuller To Return To Heroes? By Devindra Hardawar/Nov. 5, 2008 9:20 am EST When Heroes writers/producers Jeph Loeb and Jesse Alexander were ousted from the show, it was clear that series creator Tim Kring was looking to change things up. I personally stopped watching Heroes because it became needlessly confusing and overstuffed—a far cry from what it was throughout most of its first season. Now Kristin dos Santos is reporting that Kring may be aiming to repeat the golden days of that first season by bringing back Bryan Fuller, an acclaimed television writer who has made a habit of creating cult shows....

Razzie Award Nominees Announced By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 21, 2008 3:10 pm EST “Please, Oscar! Don’t!” The Academy’s famously snide sib, The Razzies, announced its nominations for the worst movies, performances and direction of 2007 today. Leading the lepers is the already cultish Lindsay Lohan stripper-twin-Blue Velvet-for-Proactiv-set thriller I Know Who Killed Me with nine noms, including Worst Picture. And that seals it: I’m finally going to consider watching it stoned one day when I’m 70....

Sienna Miller To Ruin GI Joe By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 20, 2007 5:16 am EST I’ve said from the beginning that a live-action GI Joe movie has the potential to be a great action flick, or a cheesy unintentionally funny disaster. With Mummy director Stephen Sommers attached, I’ve been leaning towards the latter, while secretly wishing for the former. And the script rumors that have leaked lead to Hasbro issuing a public statement to fans, hoping to assure them that “we know what we’re doing....

The 2008 Academy Awards In 60 Seconds By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 25, 2008 3:29 pm EST The 2008 Academy Awards was a damn long show (but aren’t they always?)

She certainly gets the most important close up in the whole film....

By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 29, 2007 5:50 am EST The photo to the right has been circulating around the web for a couple days now, but I have decided until now, not to post it because I believed it to be fake.

Unknown sources are claiming that the photo is of an indigenous alien race called the Na’vi from James Cameron’s upcoming $190+ million super-epic 3D performance-capture/live action/animation hybrid Avatar....

George Clooney Is Too Old For Jack Ryan By Russ Fischer/Aug. 13, 2009 3:00 pm EST There’s been talk recently about how Paramount is prepping another Jack Ryan movie and that George Clooney was interested in the role. (Or that Paramount was interested in Clooney, depending upon who you talked to.) Well, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura told MTV that Clooney isn’t the man to lead the new film, because the script is “not written for a man his age....
