Anton Yelchin As Kyle Reese In Terminator 4 By Peter Sciretta/March 19, 2008 12:31 am EST Anton Yelchin (JJ Abrams’ Star Trek, Charlie Bartlett) is in negotiations to star as John Connor’s father Kyle Reese in director McG’s Terminator 4 (which is still untitled… I say they just call it T4: The Future Begins). Yelchin would play a teenage version of Reese, who was played by Michael Biehn in the original James Cameron film....

By Russ Fischer/Jan. 4, 2010 12:41 pm EST The Avatar stories just won’t stop. But to kick off this collection of tidbits about your favorite billion-dollar baby, here’s a great little morsel kicked off by criticism of the fact that Sigourney Weaver’s character smokes in the film. The director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education sees Weaver’s character Grace as a pro-smoking icon, while Scenesmoking....

Eli Roth Guest Directs Inglourious Basterds By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 13, 2008 8:39 pm EST A couple weeks ago we published some photos from the set of Inglourious Basterds. Some people noticed that director Quentin Tarantino was mysteriously absent from the Goerlitz set. I just wrote it off as second unit photography, but the fact of the matter is that Tarantino wasn’t on set — because Eli Roth was the director of that sequence....
First Details On Tabloid, The New Film From Errol Morris By Russ Fischer/March 31, 2010 11:15 pm EST If you follow Errol Morris on Twitter, you’ll know that he’s been finishing up a new film called Tabloid. For the most part, we haven’t known much about what the film covers, as he’s been quite oblique in referencing the project. But the simple fact of Morris making a new movie is exciting enough....
G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra Character Posters By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 16, 2008 1:54 am EST Paramount Pictures has released four new character posters for Stephen Sommer’s big screen live-action G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The posters were on display at a licensing fair in June, but Filmz.ru is the first site to have official scans.

Gattaca To Spawn TV Series By Russ Fischer/Oct. 30, 2009 6:56 am EST We don’t know a lot about this project yet, but buried in a trade break about Denis Leary’s production shingle Apostle Films, which is developing a bunch of new shows to prepare for Rescue Me’s scheduled 2011 end point, there’s an interesting piece of detail. The company has bought the rights to Gattaca, Andrew Niccol’s 1997 sci-fi film, and will develop it as a television series....

Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 10, 2007 11:00 am EST Update: We have now added the official film logo, as seen above. Shia LaBeouf revealed the official title for Indiana Jones 4 during the MTV Video Music Awards: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. As you may remember, the title was one of six we reported last month when LucasFilm registered a batch of titles with the MPAA....
LOL: Mickey Rourke “Researches” Iron Man 2 Role In Russian Prison By Peter Sciretta/March 15, 2009 3:39 pm EST Even though Marvel has yet to officially announce the deal, we know that Mickey Rourke has signed on to star as the Russian villain in Iron Man 2 (possibly Crimson Dynamo?). While in Russia this week, Rourke did some “research” for his role in a Russian prison. One might assume that this means that Rourke’s Iron Man 2 character is or was a resident of such a facility....
Lone Ranger / Clooney Casting Rumor Debunked; Bruckheimer On Pirates 4 In IMAX By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 4, 2008 11:35 pm EST /Film was part of a small group of media outlets who spoke with producer Jerry Bruckheimer while in London on Tuesday afternoon. We asked if the rumors were true: has George Clooney had been cast alongside Johnny Depp (previously announced) in The Lone Ranger. “We haven’t decided who is going to play the Lone Ranger yet....
Movie Trailer: Nora Ephron’s Julie And Julia By Peter Sciretta/April 29, 2009 11:31 am EST Since the leaked Transformers 2 trailer was taken down, I thought I’d bring you something equally as exciting (yes, that is sarcasm). Columbia Pictures has released the trailer for Nora Ephron’s (Bewitched, You’ve Got Mail, Michael, Sleepless in Seattle) Julie & Julia on Moviefone. The film is actually an adaptation of two bestselling memoirs: Julie Powell’s Julie & Julia and My Life in France, by Julia Child with Alex Prud’homme....

Pirates Of The Caribbean 4: Likely But Probably Subpar By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 12, 2007 5:55 am EST Pirates of the Caribbean series screenwriter Terry Rossio admits that a fourth film may be in the works, like it or not. “It’s like the fourth Indiana Jones picture – there are forces in play to make it happen, and forces in play to make it not happen,” admitted Rossio. “I think we will try to write a screenplay....
President Obama Reviews Star Trek By Peter Sciretta/May 20, 2009 9:17 pm EST Over the last couple weeks there have been a bunch of articles comparing U.S. President Barack Obama to the Star Trek character Spock. I remember reading once that Obama was a Trekkie, and have wondered if Obama had seen Trek yet, and if so, what he thought. Obama screened JJ Abrams’ new Star Trek reboot over the weekend, and it turns out that he liked it....
Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack By Peter Sciretta/Nov. 21, 2008 2:08 am EST Ever since I first screened Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire at the Telluride Film Festival, I’ve been waiting, and hoping for a soundtrack to be released. The songs have occupied my mind, and I became convinced that a soundtrack might never see the light of day, especially after /Film’s own David Chen explained the fate of the soundtrack to Boyle’s Sunshine....
Surfwise Movie Trailer By Hunter Stephenson/May 13, 2008 11:05 am EST I dare you to watch the trailer for Surfwise and not find yourself intrigued. As of late, there have been quite a few surfing documentaries that are all mashed together in the head of pop culture, but this one, from director Doug Pray (memorable grunge doc Hype!) focuses on the intricacies of an eccentric familial bond. In true American daydream style, Doc Paskowitz ditched the medical profession in the 1950s to become a professional surfer and family man, eventually packing up his nine offspring into a 24-foot camper like road/life-schooled sardines, alongside his perma-preggo wife, and traveling from surf spot to surf spot for the duration of their childhoods....
The Death Star Destroys The Starship Enterprise By Peter Sciretta/May 8, 2009 6:44 pm EST A new video has been spreading around the interwebs today showing the Starship Enterprise being destroyed by the Death Star, finally settling the sci-fi battle of Star Trek vs. Star Wars. The video was created by M Horn, the same guy who released the Death Star over San Francisco video which we also featured on the site (almost a year back)....
This Week In DVD: Body Of Lies, Changeling, Quarantine, Religulous, And More By Adam Quigley/Feb. 17, 2009 7:20 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. While the reviews weren’t necessarily negative, the Clint Eastwood-directed Changeling opened to a surprisingly middling response, apparently falling prey to silliness and convention far too often. It was enough, however, to earn Angelina Jolie a nomination for Best Actress, despite claims by many critics that her performance detracted from the film more than enhanced it....
