No, no, no! What are you doing here!? Get yourselves over to Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Quickly, before it’s too late. It’s the future of television, or “webovision?” Hmm, webovison . . . sounds like a spidey sense.
Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, it’s this hilarious, goofy Joss Whedon musical internet event [...]
This news is absolute Pollacks. He died today of cancer aged 73. Not only was Pollack a great filmmaker, but he was also a superb actor. A scene stealer, who nailed it every time. I’ll remember him most for Tootsie — which he starred in and directed — but also his great acting turns in [...]
George Lucas is quoted as saying:
“‘I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this,’ he said. ‘But I have an idea to make Shia [LeBeouf] the lead character next time and have Harrison [Ford] come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.’”
I can’t believe they think this is [...]
Over at The Artful Writer you can read a thought provoking response from a number of writers to the bizarre and creepy email sent to guild members last week naming and shaming members who went “fi-core” during the strike. It seems the ill-considered stunt has backfired hugely. And justifiably so.
This is hilarious and shameful, but when FearNet mentioned to Uwe Boll a petition online signed by 18,000 people requesting that he cease making movies, Boll responded that “18,000 is not enough to convince me.” So how much would be enough? “One million,” Boll responded.
And thus, the campaign to stop Uwe Boll has begun with [...]

To honour his passing the NRA are expected to fire a six gun salute with automatic machine guns, ground-to-air missiles and several bazookas. All proceeding a tearful light show put on by the Californian Children’s Flame Thrower Squad.
He is expected to [...]
Since I mentioned in the last post that over 100 remakes have been churned out in the last 5 years I’ve been called to task on naming them. So, exhaustingly, here are just some I could rustle up (counting from 2002 on). You can find all the information on these films on IMDb, I’ve just [...]
Following on from Den of Geeks coverage of 30 Remakes Planned, comes this report on the gross amount of movie sequels in the pipeline. Are you ready? Here goes …
The Brazilian Job: the follow up to Paramount’s US remake of The Italian Job is still on the cards, and it’s got a 2009 release date [...]

“Just some of the names being raided once more by a Hollywood system that’s fast running out of ideas.”

Presumably this a reboot of the hilarious-but-iffy Alec Baldwin non-franchise of the mid-90s. Sam Raimi is producing, and the project is at the screenplay stage right now. Expect a release no sooner [...]
Jeez, I disappear for two weeks and Anthony Minghella and Arthur C. Clarke die. Heather McCartney is awarded $50M in a divorce settlement, despite not having a leg to stand on. Mel Gibson hangs out and parties with Britney Spears. 10,000 B.C. tops the Box Office. Paddies Day falls on the 15th. Amy Winehouse goes [...]
