The Gears of War film adaptation is moving along smoothly. Underworld director Len Wiseman has been chosen to helm the movie (What about Uwe Boll?!).
A new draft of the script is now being handled by Wanted writer Chris Morgan. Originally, it was Stuart Beattie who was supposed to get the scriptwriting duties. With this new […]

For those of you who haven’t followed the information released about the film or seen it yet, you’re no doubt wondering why the film isn’t Hulk 2.  The reason for that is that it is not a sequel.  It is a re-telling of the story of Hulk (the Ang Lee 2003 film), including the ‘origins’ […]

Another new Hellboy II poster has been released by Universal Pictures. I’ve said it before — Hellboy II is THE comicbook movie that I am most looking forward to. The trailer kicks ass and the posters are making me want to watch it more and more. This new poster shows Red with amidst the ubercool […]

I’m doing exactly what I promised myself I wouldn’t; I’m falling for the Indy hype.  Previously convinced that Harrison Ford was too old to play the role, I’ve decided to take matters into my own capable hands.
Step 1: Indiana Jones Fedora Hat
Rugged, bold and adventurous, you’ll risk life and limb to protect your official head […]

Does our planet have an expiration date?  The Mayan calendar ends in 2012.  While some believe a global cataclysm will take place on or about 21 December 2012, most scholars have dismissed this as a misinterpretation.
Hollywood thinks otherwise.
John Cusack is in negotiations to play the lead character in fictional 2012, where a large group of […]

If there’s one movie that Anime fans have always wanted to see brought to Hollywood, that movie would be the Dragonball one. After countless years of rumors, attempts, beginnings, teaser images. We finally have something a bit more “physical” than a CGI-render of Piccolo. This time we have a picture of the actor playing out […]

I’m not sure how wide a release Rec received in the US, but here in the UK it got a smaller release than it deserved.  Rec, in case you didn’t hear, is a unique take on the zombie movie.  It is shot in the same way as Cloverfield, from a hand held video camera.  This […]

Fans of the seminal science fiction space hero Buck Rogers rejoice! A possible live action movie is being planned.
Nu Image/Millennium Films has acquired the film rights to the series about a pilot who finds himself in the 25th century and has been tasked to battle intergalactic evil.
Most people would probably be familiar with Buck Rogers […]

In case you’ve been living under a rock, BioShock is a solid PC and Xbox360 game.  Some said it was a revelation, giving the player access to weird and wild powers (along with a variety of weapons) in an underwater dystopia with a fully realised back story.  For me, I found it quite repetitive and […]

 
With Iron Man firmly opening the summer blockbuster season with a cool $109 million box office take in North America, the next Marvel superhero movie in the pipeline has its work cut out for it.
A lot of pressure is going to be put on The Incredible Hulk starring Edward Norton and directed by Louis Leterrier […]

I just saw Iron Man and I have to say I enjoyed myself. It was far better than what I was expecting– which was it was going to be crap because Jon Favreau is not exactly a director with a very impressive list of movies behind him. His only movie that I really loved was […]

This is the latest book-to-film conversion from a Stephen King story - in this case the novella The Mist.  Frank Darabont has made these adaptations before, notably with The Green Mile and The Shawshank Redemption.  So, you could say that this is going to be a success from the start, or at least there’s a […]

It’s not every weekend that the movie-going public and fat cat studio execs get to go home happy.  Thanks to a $100 million opening weekend take and a believable performance from Robert Downey Jr., there was a smile so wide that it stretched all the way from Hollywood to Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
What’s great about the […]

For those of us who loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy of films (I know that I certainly did, especially the second film), there is great news.  Sir Ian McKellen is set to reprise his role in JRR Tolkien’s The Hobbit.
The book is set to be made into two films, planned for back-to-back release […]

Is it just me or do geeks tend to like Natalie Portman? One thing’s for sure, this geek certainly does.
Making her even more desirable to our nerd hearts, is the fact that the actress has just been named the most eco-friendly star by green Website Grist.org.
From working to save the gorillas in Rwanda to […]

Comicbook legend Frank Miller is currently in talks to direct one of his own comicbook masterpieces — Hard Boiled.
Hard Boiled was a wonderful collaboration between Miller and artist Geoff Darrow (who became known to non-comicbook reading movie fans for helping flesh out the distinctive visual look of The Matrix trilogy) and was one of the […]
