View-Master movie?
3 July 2009 1:46 PM, PDT
Ok, what the fuck? Is Hollywood just fucking with us now? Fringe co-producer Brad Kane recently tweeted that after he's finished scripting the sci fi actioner Uprising for Wolfgang Petersen, he's starting work on a movie based on the View-Master toy, which he hopes will be "like the old 80's Amblin movies: Goonies, Young Sherlock…In that vein." Which again begs the question "what the fuck?!?. Are Hollywood execs just pointing at objects at random now and...

Jaa wrestles croc
3 July 2009 1:21 PM, PDT
Thai action super star Tony Jaa is one crazy bastard. Not because he crafts insane action and fight scenes and not because he completely lost his shit during production of Ong Bak 2, went on some pilgrimage to conjure black magic then appeared out of nowhere on Thai national television crying, after which he proceeded to make ridiculous demands on the film's financiers before finishing production. No, these things are pretty par for the course for a movie star. What makes him absolutely...

1st Brothers trailer
3 July 2009 12:58 PM, PDT
The first trailer for Jim Sheridan's upcoming Brothers, a remake of Susanne Bier's film of the same name, has surfaced over at "Et Online" and what starts off as an emotional war drama takes a swift and ruthless turn straight into near horror thriller. You see, the film stars Tobey Maguire as a soldier who goes missing after a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Presumed dead, Maguire's brother, played by dreamy-eyed Jake Gyllenhaal, goes to comfort his wife (Natalie Portman) and,...

The new D9 trailer!
3 July 2009 5:32 AM, PDT
You may have heard the news online that a new District 9 trailer would be in theaters and online next week. Well I can say that I was lucky enough to get an early look at the trailer before the big debut next week! I don't have anything to show you from the trailer but I took some notes and I'll do my best to relate what I saw. It's much more action-packed than the original teaser but action still does not seem to be the primary focus of this movie. The trailer runs about 2:20 and...

New Wtwta w/ HP6
3 July 2009 3:41 AM, PDT
With Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince set for release in two weeks, we're starting to get a clearer picture on what new footage you might see before the film. Hpathbp is one of Warner Bros.' biggest releases of the year so there will be some cool new trailers to check out from their upcoming slate. While I haven't loved anything I've seen from Robert Rodriguez's Shorts, I imagine it's something that littler kids could really get into. You'll have a new teaser for that film that...

New Basterds posters
3 July 2009 3:34 AM, PDT
Not since Harry Potter And The Half-blood Prince has a movie had as many posters as Inglourious Basterds. There were teaser posters, some character banners, more teaser posters, international posters, international teaser posters and now more character banners. They highlight Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Melanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz in their respective roles. It's nothing all that special but for the Tarantino completist, it's cool stuff. You can check them all out by clicking below and heading over to Empire.

Int: Michael Mann
3 July 2009 2:19 AM, PDT
Michael Mann's newest epic, Public Enemies, is released today and he could not have cast three more brilliant performers. The film stars Johnny Depp as 1930's bank robber and folk hero John Dillinger, Marion Cotillard as his moll Billie Frechette and Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI agent who hunts Dillinger. We got to talk to Mann about the film, shooting in HD, and picking the soundtrack. Damn, this man can talk! Michael Mann You've made some classic modern day gangster...

Eminem is funny
2 July 2009 6:21 PM, PDT
No one can decide whether or not Eminem has a sense of humour. When Bruno sat on his face last month, Eminem caught more flack for freaking out and not being able to take a joke, than he has for spewing lyrical vitriol towards gays, women, and celebrities. Well if there is a debate, it will soon be put to rest when Marshall Shady Mathers Slim or whatever, appears opposite Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen in Judd Apatow's highly anticipated Funny People. Recently MTV spoke with Judd about his...

Bale Wahlberg you?
2 July 2009 5:47 PM, PDT
If you've always wanted to be in a big Hollywood movie but your addiction to cheeseburgers prevented you from doing so, here's your chance. David O Russell's The Fighter--starring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg--is looking for unpaid extras to fill the stands for some boxing scenes that will be shooting in Lowell, Massachusetts on July 14th, 15th and 16th. The filmmakers will be providing free parking, and raffle prizes for CDs, DVDs, and Gift Cards and the scenes being shot are said to...

Biel for Thor role?
2 July 2009 5:21 PM, PDT
When Kenneth Branagh's feature version of Marvel's Thunder God Thor lands in theaters, will earthbound goddess Jessica Biel and her astonishing physique be part of the scene? Nuke the Fridge claims that Biel is "in talks" for an unknown role in the project (which, speaking of unknowns, stars Aussie Chris Hemsworth as the titular Mjolnir-thrower). While a body like hers really deserves a superhero franchise of its very own, speculation is that Biel could be Thor's modern-day love...

Doogie hosts Emmys
2 July 2009 4:47 PM, PDT
July 4th weekend in The United States is a time for block parties, fireworks and organic cider-infused pulled pork sandwiches. It's also time for Hollywood's kings and queens to hit Malibu, Santa Barbara and Hoboken for a quick weekend getaway, thus putting a temporary moratorium on all things movie-related. So it looks like I'm forced to let you all know that Neil Patrick Harris, he of "sudden career renaissance" fame is set to host this year's Emmy awards after recently earning...

Kick-Ass Comic Con
2 July 2009 4:36 PM, PDT
Aside from a few snapshots (including that new one of Hit Girl above), we haven't seen much on the "realistic" superhero movie Kick-ass. Later this month at Comic Con, we should have a better idea of how it's shaping up -- director Matthew Vaughn (Stardust, Layer Cake), along with undisclosed cast members, will be present on Thursday, July 23 to premiere some footage from the flick. If you can't make it to San Diego, fear not -- JoBlo's crack reporting team will be on hand to give...

No Heathers sequel
2 July 2009 3:47 PM, PDT
When it comes to the recently rumored Heathers sequel, the original's director Michael Lehmann has just two words: Corn Nuts. He's got another one: "No." As Lehmann tells Movieline, "Winona [Ryder]'s been talking about this for years — she brings it up every once in a while and Dan Waters and I will joke about it, but as far as I know there’s no script and no plans to do the sequel. A couple weeks ago everyone started talking about it and I guess Winona...

Dakota all growns up
2 July 2009 1:53 PM, PDT
Well, would you look at that. Little Dakota Fanning, whose preternatural acting talent was at times scary but mostly cute as a button, went ahead and grew up on us. She was recently caught on the set of the eponymous 70s rock band biopic The Runaways as Cherie Currie alongside Kristen Stewart as Joan Jett looking very much the growns up little lady doing…well, probably whatever the scene said they were supposed to be doing. Though it looks like they might have been caught in...

Planet 51 Meatballs
2 July 2009 1:08 PM, PDT
A couple of brand new trailers recently surfaced for two animated comedies that haven't really been given much attention but maybe they should because these trailer ain't so bad. The first is for Planet 51 in which someone who's supposed to be Dwayne Johnson but kinda sounds nothing like him stars as an astronaut who lands on an alien planet and ends up becoming the alien everyone's afraid of. Seann William Scott, Jessica Biel, Justin Long, Gary Oldman and John Cleese also lend their...

Sandler comedy moved
2 July 2009 1:00 PM, PDT
Sony has decided to do a little release date shuffle for two of its high profile comedies coming out next year. First, they'd initially slated the Adam Sandler comedy Grown Ups for a March 12th release but it apparently tested well enough that they've decided to put it right in the thick of summer for a June 25th release. It'll now face stiff competition from the Stephanie Meyer adapted threequel The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and M. Night Shamaglock's fantasy epic The Last Airbender. In it,...

Masters of Web panel!
2 July 2009 5:13 AM, PDT
Last year I had tons of fun sitting in on the "Masters of the Web" panel and talking shop with my colleagues that I don't get to see very often. I was also shocked and the response from the Comic-Con attendees. I walked up to the room and there was a huge line and I thought, "I must be in the wrong place..." Last year's Masters of the Web panel The good news is that the panel is returning for its third year at Comic-Con and once again I'll be one of the guests....
