The Dark Knight’s Wizard World Chicago Trailer By Peter Sciretta/July 7, 2008 3:39 am EST The movie trailer for The Dark Knight which was shown at last year’s Wizard World Chicago has finally been released online. It’s packed without a lot of action, very little dialogue, and the tease of two-face at the conclusion. It is kind of fitting that the final Dark Knight movie trailer is one that premiered almost a year ago....
Tom Arnold Still Says Next Cameron Film To Star Schwarzenegger And Tom Arnold By Russ Fischer/Aug. 3, 2009 7:29 am EST The New York Times has a big profile piece on Tom Arnold in which he’s defended by no less than Judd Apatow, but the piece is getting attention for a little quote from Arnold that appears right at the end. Talking about a movie that the NYT admits has no plot or script, the actor says: “All I know is Jim Cameron’s making it and Arnold [Schwarzenegger] and I are going to be in it, and it starts shooting in 14 months, the day after Arnold stops being governor of California....
Trademark Filed For Fallout Movie Adaptation By Peter Sciretta/April 21, 2009 12:43 pm EST Joystiq has discovered that Bethesda Softworks has filed for a trademark with the US Patent and Trademark Office staking claim on the Fallout name for “motion picture films about a post-nuclear apocalyptic world.” Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that anything is in the works (although, I’d be very surprised if something wasn’t in the early stages of development), but it does confirm that Bethesda is considering their options....

Universal has also made 7 minutes of Wanted available online, which you can watch below.

An E-Mail From Luke Shapiro By Peter Sciretta/May 28, 2008 5:29 pm EST I just got an e-mail from Luke Shapiro. I only mention this because Luke Shapiro is a fictional character in a movie (one of my favorite movies of the year – The Wackness). And by that, I don’t mean that someone who liked the movie adopted the name of their favorite character for their online nickname (like OptimusPrime2007)....
Box Office: SAW IV Has Steeper-Than-Expected 30% Saturday Drop By Steve Mason/Oct. 28, 2007 11:37 am EST The other new wide release, Dan in Real Life (Buena Vista), starring Golden Globe winner Steve Carell and Oscar winner Juliette Binoche, has proved to be a nice change of pace for moviegoers fatigued by depressing fare. Dan added $4.7M on Saturday, a nice 14% bump, and I now anticipate that Peter Hedges’ follow-up to Pieces of April may reach $14....
Comprehensive List Of Fictional Restaurants Is Surely Useful For Something By Devindra Hardawar/Jan. 8, 2010 1:01 am EST I’m sure at some point in your life, you’ve desperately tried to recall the fried chicken restaurant in Rocko’s Modern Life (“Chokey Chicken”), or the bizarro version of the Seinfeld coffee shop (“Reggie’s”), to no avail. Now you have a resource to turn to in those moments of desperation. The statistical database site StateMaster has a freakishly comprehensive list of fictional restaurants, which covers everything from old Nickelodeon cartoons to film....
Conan Producers Reportedly Have Three Actors In Mind; Only One Is From Twilight By Russ Fischer/Jan. 13, 2010 11:48 pm EST Hey, remember that new Conan movie? Marcus Nispel is directing, and it is meant to begin shooting in about two months. Funny, though…we haven’t heard anything about who’s playing Conan. Evidently the right actor isn’t so easy to find, which is why production is currently slated for March after being bumped twice, first from August ‘09 to February of this year, then from February to March....
Confirmed: Eisenberg, Timberlake And Garfield Cast In David Fincher’s The Social Network By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 22, 2009 9:18 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. As I have said previously, this is shaping up to be a very solid cast. If you kn ow anything about these characters, I think you’d agree. I don’t normally like Timberlake, but anyone who knows the story for the film or has read the book will know he’s the perfect person to play Parker....

Cool Stuff: Will Ferrell Sunscreen - Something That’s Real By Hunter Stephenson/June 1, 2009 5:00 am EST Today, in the name of summer ‘09, I purchased: ’70s-era paperbacks by late aquathriller master Peter Benchley, a coozie printed with dolphins and castles, and a tube of black Zinka. And while $11.99 is not recession-proof, for that exact price we can now be sunproof while laughing at Will Ferrell’s bare ass all season long!...
Crank 2: High Voltage Cast Announced By Peter Sciretta/April 21, 2008 11:19 am EST Crank 2: High Voltage is set to begin shooting on April 28th in Los Angeles and the casting announcements were made over the weekend: Jason Statham returns as hitman Chev Chelios Amy Smart returns as his girlfriend Eve Dwight Yoakam returns as Doc Miles Efren Ramirez returns, but as a character named Venus (Ramirez played Kaylo, who died in the original film) Clifton Collins Jr....
Dark Knight Writer, Jonathan Nolan, Confirmed As “Lead Writer” Of Terminator Salvation By David Chen/July 26, 2008 4:40 pm EST For those of you who loved The Dark Knight but are deeply concerned about the quality of McG’s upcoming Terminator Salvation, take heart: At today’s Comic Con press conference for Salvation, McG was asked about the involvement of Dark Knight scribe, Jonah/Jonathan Nolan, someone who McG previously mentioned had worked on the script....
Fan Art: Ben Balistreri’s The Wrestler By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 16, 2009 5:37 pm EST What if Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler was an animated movie? Don’t freak out, it’s not happening… at least as far as we know and hope But Ben Balistreri, a storyboard artist currently working at DreamWorks, posted this sketch of Mickey Rourke on his personal blog. Since it is a slow news day, I thought I’d share. Head on over to Balistreri’s blog for the full sketch....
Get Him To The Greek Red Band Trailer By Russ Fischer/March 22, 2010 11:29 am EST Among the onliners, I seemed to be the one who wasn’t doubled over with laughter while watching the first ‘safe’ trailer for Get Him to the Greek. The film vaguely follows on the heels of Forgetting Sarah Marshall by casting Russell Brand once more as rocker Aldous Snow. But it diverges by having Jonah Hill play a character different than he did in Sarah Marshall; this time, he’s a lowly record company assistant who is given his dream job: get Aldous Snow from London to Los Angeles in 72 hours so that he can perform a concert....
Jim Carrey Returns To High Concept Comedy With Yes Man By Peter Sciretta/July 12, 2007 11:17 am EST Harry Potter producer David Heyman is developing a comedy film called Yes Man with Jim Carrey attached to star. “It’s about a man who finds himself very depressed, and is always saying no. When friends ask him out, he always says no,” Heyman revealed to MTV. “[The film will explore] what happens when he decides to say yes to every thing that comes his way....
Kyle Ward To Write Sony’s Uncharted Game Adaptation And Hitman 2 By Russ Fischer/June 26, 2009 10:12 am EST For quite some time, Sony has quietly been working to develop a film based on the PlayStation 3 game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Now with the game’s sequel getting great press in the wake of E3 (and thanks in part to a fun multiplayer beta) Sony has dropped word that the movie is actually happening....
Movie Sold On iTunes While Playing On Big Screens Around The World By Peter Sciretta/July 3, 2007 7:32 pm EST A lot of the industry talk now-a-days is about the viability of day and date releases (ie releasing a movie on dvd and theatrically on the same day or week). Most theater owners are against the idea, fearing a loss of revenue. And most of the big Hollywood studios are also against the idea because of piracy concerns....
Must Watch: Mary And Max Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Jan. 25, 2009 11:47 pm EST Mary and Max was the first film I screened at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, and it ended up being one of my favorites. A truly indie clay-animated definitely not-for-children story of a pen pal relationship between a Mary Dinkle (Toni Collette), a chubby, lonely 8-year-old living in the suburbs of Melbourne, Australia; and Max Horovitz (Phillip Seymour Hoffman), a severely obese, 44-year-old Jewish man with Asperger’s Syndrome living in the chaos of New York City....
