Nicolas Winding Refn Talks Valhalla Rising And Jekyll

Nicolas Winding Refn Talks Valhalla Rising And Jekyll By Russ Fischer/Sept. 22, 2009 6:20 pm EST I’ve been saying this for years, and it is now quickly coming true.

Bronson is finally about to open in the US, and between that event and the Toronto premiere of Valhalla Rising, which was purchased by IFC, Refn is talking to the press about a few projects....

Pineapple Express Movie Poster

Pineapple Express Movie Poster By Peter Sciretta/April 3, 2008 10:14 am EST Like many of you, I’m excited for the Seth Rogen-penned Judd Apatow-produced stoner comedy Pineapple Express. It kinda looks like a strange spoof of the Pirates of the Caribbean banners from last year. And while this new theatrical one sheet (thanks to JoBlo) is funny, I don’t believe it gives you an accurate idea about what the film is actually about....

Sin City 2 Actually Moving Forward May Be Followed By Hard Boiled

By Russ Fischer/Oct. 29, 2009 12:39 pm EST Sin City 2 has been a project sitting on the horizon for several years. It has started to seem like one of those things that co-director Robert Rodriguez likes to keep on the table because he knows it gets fan attention, while not necessarily being a film he really plans to make. Now producer Stephen L’Heureux says that Sin City 2 will go into production at the end of 2010, and that Frank Miller will follow it with a film version of Hard Boiled, the uber-detailed and hyper-violent comic written by Miller and drawn by Geoff Darrow....

The Simpsons Movie Two New Movie Posters

The Simpsons Movie: Two New Movie Posters By Peter Sciretta/June 27, 2007 11:54 am EST Are friends at FilmIck have posted two new posters/banners for The Simpsons Movie. The new one-sheet and quad have the tag-line “The Greatest Family Adventure Of All Time.” and show the Simpson family running away from the Springfield mob. And of course, Homer is distracted by the donut styled O in the Simpson Movie logo. I’m guessing that this is a UK poster because of the “In Cinemas Everywhere” line and the formatting of the release date....

Watchmen Scores 4 5M From Thursday Midnight Screenings

Watchmen Scores $4.5M From Thursday Midnight Screenings By Steve Mason/March 6, 2009 11:46 am EST That is almost double what 2007’s 300 and November’s Quantum of Solace delivered in their Thursday midnight showings. I am being told that, based on that start, my 3-day prediction of $63M is low. That kind of midnight start for a 2 hour, 41 minute movie could equate to a $30M opening day, which could possible translate to an opening weekend in the low $70M’s....
