Oswalt relayed the message that everyone should follow ImportantDate on Twitter. I’m not sure if this is just a San Diego viral event or something more. Updates when they become available.

Francis Lawrence Takes Sgt. Rock Into…the Future! By Russ Fischer/Nov. 9, 2009 11:00 pm EST Looks like not all of Joel Silver’s long-simmering DC Comics projects (er, sorry — DC Entertainment) have been recalled. He’s been moving veerrrryyy slowly on a Sgt. Rock adaptation, with a few scripts written over the years, but now finally has some forward momentum. If things go well, we might soon have a Sgt. Rock film written by Chad St....

From White Castle And House To The White House By Brendon Connelly/April 7, 2009 3:02 pm EST The White House have recruited Kal Penn, Kumar of Harold and… fame, to serve as a liasion connecting President Obama’s administration to Asian-American and Pacific Islander communities and “arts groups”. The announcement came today and the first place I read it was at Entertainment Weekly – but be warned, clicking over there will hit you with one heck of huge spoiler for this week’s episode of House, the show Penn has been co-starring in for a couple of seasons now....

Full Character Line-Up Revealed For Mortal Kombat Vs. DC Universe By Hunter Stephenson/Sept. 11, 2008 7:22 pm EST It’s not exactly movie news, but we like it…enough to pummel naysayers on Xbox Live. The full character line-up was revealed today for the upcoming Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe. Even though it’s rated Teen, the blood-letting and sadistic nuance seen in last month’s Joker Fatality would have fooled us. Mortal Kombat Contenders Baraka, Jax, Kano, Kitana, Liu Kang, Raiden, Scorpion, Shang Tsung, Shao Khan, Sonya, Sub Zero DC Contenders Batman, Catwoman, Darkseid, Deathstroke, Flash, Green Lantern, Joker, Lex Luthor, Shazam, Superman, Wonderwoman Source Link: Kotaku via XB360A Discuss: Who wins?...

Ghost Rider Sequel/Reboot Still Under Consideration By Russ Fischer/July 15, 2009 1:42 pm EST While promoting the goofy secret agent guinea pig movie G-Force, Nicolas Cage was roped into talking about the potential Ghost Rider sequel by MTV. Or is that a reboot, not a sequel? What do you call it when some of the principal talent wants to try again with a movie that they screwed up the first time?...

I Love You, Beth Cooper Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Feb. 16, 2009 1:18 am EST I Love You, Beth Cooper hits theaters on July 10th.

John Rambo Sentenced To January Death? By Peter Sciretta/Sept. 12, 2007 1:53 am EST Lionsgate has announced that they will release Sylvester Stallone’s John Rambo on January 25, 2008. January is pretty much considered the kiss of death, where bad films go to die. Aside from Star Wars Special Edition, no other film has made over $29 million on a January opening weekend, and only five January releases have gone on to make over $100 million at the box office....

Just What We Need… Even MORE Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince Posters By Peter Sciretta/June 18, 2009 9:19 am EST Warner Bros has released five more international posters for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Voldemort is tightening his grip on both the Muggle and wizarding worlds and Hogwarts is no longer the safe haven it once was....

Kevin Smith Wants To Make Hockey Movie - Hit Somebody By Peter Sciretta/May 14, 2009 12:41 pm EST Anyone who has been following Kevin Smith on Twitter, or listening to his Smodcast podcast (highly recommended), then you know that the New Jersey-born writer/director has recently become obsessed with the sport of Hockey and Wayne Gretzky (edit: Smith has always been a casual fan of the sport, but it has recently been taken to an extreme)....

Knowing Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 12, 2008 1:23 pm EST Summit Entertainment has released the full length movie trailer for Alex Proyas’ upcoming thriller Knowing. If you’ve seen the previous teaser, than you know that Nicolas Cage comes across a code that predicts every major disaster in the last 50 years, including the upcoming destruction of everything. This new trailer introduces a new (possibly) supernatural element to the story, “the whisper people”, a group of mysterious albino men who stand off in the distance....

New Rambo Title, New Rambo Poster By Peter Sciretta/Oct. 18, 2007 5:53 pm EST Rambo to Hell and Back has now been retitled (yes, AGAIN) as “Rambo”. Apparently Sylvester Stallone didn’t like “John Rambo” because that signified the last of a series. And according to Sly, there will likely be more Rambo movies. I think I like this title best. It’s simple, yet says everything. Plus the first Rambo film was actually titled First Blood, so it works without ruining the title sequencing....

New Southland Tales SFX Photos, Trailer Coming Soon By Peter Sciretta/Aug. 23, 2007 1:06 pm EST Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales will hit theaters in November, and the theatrical movie trailer will premiere soon.

In the meantime, our friends at FirstShowing have posted another round of new photos, which includes some new FX shots....

Oliver Stone’s Son Sean To Make Feature Debut With Rosemary Kennedy Thriller By Brendon Connelly/Jan. 14, 2010 7:48 am EST Sean Stone’s first IMDB credits as director are video featurettes documenting the making of his father’s ill-fated epic Alexander. Subsequently, he directed the science fiction short Singularity, again collaborating with the old man- at least in the sense that it’s a loose remake of a film Stone Sr. had made in his youth....

Round 2: Comic Writer Jeph Loeb Defends Robin’s Place In Chris Nolan’s Batman Trilogy. Agree? By Hunter Stephenson/July 3, 2008 5:59 pm EST Yesterday, I posted on Christian Bale’s reported dismissal of Robin—both the character and his place in Christopher Nolan’s Batman franchise—and the comments continue to unfold with incredibly lengthy diatribes widely in favor of Bale’s sentiments. Twenty-three words can unleash hundreds of thousands, and now highly respected comic writer Jeph Loeb, whose credits include both The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, has come out in defense of Robin/Dick Grayson’s place in a Batman 3....
