Shia LaBeouf No Longer Interested In Y: The Last Man? By Peter Sciretta/June 9, 2009 11:27 am EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. In a day of superhero overload, Brian K Vaughn’s Y: The Last Man is the perfect comic book series for a Hollywood big screen (or even small screen) adaptation.

Spec Lucas And Spielberg Planning A New Indy Trilogy After Crystal Skull

SPEC: Lucas And Spielberg Planning A New Indy Trilogy After Crystal Skull? By Hunter Stephenson/Jan. 5, 2008 5:58 pm EST Sure, every fan has probably considered it. But it’s extremely rare when an entertainment journalist issues a long editorial admitting that he may not have dug deep enough for a giant scoop, and Vanity Fair contributing editor Jim Windolf has done just that. Regarding his Feb. ‘08 cover story on Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Windolf goes so far as to offer an apology to fans for not pressing director Steven Spielberg and producer Frank Marshall on their plans for a new post-Crystal Skull Indiana Jones trilogy....

An enemy with real physical power might be worked in there, definitely....

The Soundtrack For God Help The Girl Unveiled

The Soundtrack For God Help The Girl Unveiled By Brendon Connelly/April 3, 2009 9:34 am EST God Help the Girl is being billed as “a story set to music” and was written by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian (ie. my favorite still-together band, to this day, even though many other folk seem to have forgotten them). Things on this project aren’t progressing in the typical order, however. While Stuart is still working on the movie script, he he’s not only recruited many of the cast but has also taken them into the studio to record the soundtrack album....

15 Films That Influenced Metal Gear Solid Creator Hideo Kojima

15 Films That Influenced Metal Gear Solid Creator Hideo Kojima By Devindra Hardawar/Jan. 21, 2009 7:15 am EST Hideo Kojima is perhaps a better filmmaker than he is a game designer. Since the Playstation’s Metal Gear Solid, Kojima has always attempted to push the envelope in terms of making video games cinematic. While it was merely an interesting artistic experiment on the PS1, Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3 on the Playstation 2 both managed to bring many new cinematic elements into the video game arena....

As you can guess from the title, the fans vote for this award show, this year casting more than 18 million votes....

Astro Boy Just Scrapes Through Close Call With The Recession By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 16, 2009 7:00 pm EST The capitalist world is in a new kind of mess, and filmmakers are getting stiffed in the stink just like everybody else. The highest profile case was possibly David O. Russell’s Nailed, which was shut down on multiple occaisons over funding shortages; Spielberg’s Tintin also suffered from notorious trouble raising it’s budget too; and just this week, Spielberg had to dip into his own pocket to help fluff up the Dreamworks coffers....

Box Office: Gangster Up 12% Saturday, Headed For $46M; Bee Movie Eyes $40M By Steve Mason/Nov. 4, 2007 12:43 am EST My sources tell me that exit surveys show that audiences love the movie. Given its 160-minute length and the fact that that older audiences don’t rush out on opening weekend to see a new film, American Gangster should have excellent “legs.” If the film manages to earn Golden Globe and Oscar nominations in multiple categories, that will boost business through the holidays and into the new year....
