First Teaser Poster for Iron Man 2!
7 hours ago
The first official teaser poster for one of 2010's biggest hitters has finally gone online. For those not lucky enough to go to Comic Con, Iron Man 2 has had a more secretive production than the all-out promotional blitz its predecessor had. Now you can finally get a first glimpse of War Machine, the metal-suited alter ego of Don Cheadle's James Rhodes. He looks (iron) suitably impressive, and surely a mind-blowing full-length trailer can't be far off! Director Jon Favreau has also revealed that Robert Downey Jr. has had a...

10 hours ago
The slow development of the fourth Jason Bourne flick took another hit today as director Paul Greengrass - a man as intricately linked to the films as star Matt Damon himself - walked out on the project in a row over the script. Details are still sketchy, but it would appear that Greengrass wasn't happy when Universal brought in up-and-coming writer Josh Zetumer to work on a 'parallel' screenplay for the film, rewriting the one already penned by Ocean's 12's George Nolfi. Greengrass has already been under pressure from...

With their update of 1982 sci-fi lightfest Tron still in post-production, we've just heard that director Joseph Kasinski and producer Sean Bailey haven't quite finished reimagining our childhoods yet. Next on their event horizon is a remake of Disney's famed failure The Black Hole, which was released in 1979 to disappointing box-office and an array of scientists who foamed at the mouth at its gravitational impossibilities. Focusing on a spaceship lingering at the edges of a black hole - rather than being sucked into it as the...

Probably Hollywood’s most-anticipated post-Avatar blockbuster, The Hobbit looks like it is going to be slow off the starting blocks. According to Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen, the shoot was originally expected to be underway in Spring 2010. Now Peter Jackson has given a more conservative estimate of starting in the middle of the year, quashing any hopes of getting our hands on any casting notes or on-set pics for a few more months. The writing dream team of Pj, Lord of the Rings cohorts Fran Walsh and Philippa...

29 November 2009 11:32 PM, PST
Back in September Oscar-winning screenwriter Roger Avary was jailed for a year and five months after killing a passenger and injuring his wife in a crash while driving under the influence of alcohol. Clearly keen to keep up his writing skills, Avary started Tweeting from inside Ventura County Jail. His Twitter page hit the news last week, offering gloomy insights into his incarceration (alas, it's no longer public, so there's no point providing the link). Examples included: "Night falls, and the only real activity is an...
