Ron Perlman Talks Hellboy 3
9 hours ago
We got the chance to sit down and talk to growl-made-flesh Ron Perlman this weekend at the Pacific Rim junket. Given that this is his latest collaboration with Guillermo del Toro, we couldn’t resist the chance to ask if about the prospects for another outing of their most beloved film work, Hellboy.Though little forward motion has happened since 2008’s Hellboy II: The Golden Army (mostly due to del Toro’s busy schedule and a seeming lack of interest from industry types), Perlman thinks there could still be glowing embers of hope. “Every time I'm with Guillermo, it certainly occupies a small portion of the conversation. And believe me, when we walked away from Hellboy II, both of us had had the snot beaten out of us to the degree that neither of us wanted to ever see Hellboy again.“Then, about a year went by and I realised »
First Clip Of Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac Online
9 hours ago
It's time for the moral crusaders to start sharpening their knives and alerting the Daily Mail, because the first clip from Lars Von Trier's Nymphomaniac is online and it's probably going to offend people. Not because it's not safe for work - there's no nudity here - but because it sees two young girls treat sex as sport while using public transport. Horror! Here we see young Joe (Stacy Martin) and her more experienced friend B (Sophie Kennedy Clark) make a bet to see who can sleep with more men on a long train journey. There's a whole bag of chocolate to be won, so the stakes are high.The film concentrates on the adult Joe, now played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac who relates her life story to Stellan Skarsgard's Seligman after he saves her from a beating.The film also stars Christian Slater, Shia Labeouf, »

You've seen the trailer, you may have read Orson Scott Card's novel. Now check out a fresh batch of new Ender's Game posters, showcasing the movie's cadre of wee warriors and their mentor, Ben Kingsley. jPosters (via Collider) has the full consignment, but click below for a closer look at our hero, Ender Wiggin (Hugo's Asa Butterfield), his closest pal Petra Arkanian (Hailee Steinfeld), and wizened instructor Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley).Wiggin, a shy but brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite International Fleet in the wake of an invasion by the Formics, a warmongering breed of space bastards. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect and resentment amongst his peers. He is soon ordained by cranky Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. »
Jacob's Ladder On The Remake Rung
16 hours ago
1991’s Jacob’s Ladder saw Tim Robbins as a Vietnam War vet whose life spiralled out of control when he suffers increasingly weird hallucinations and attempts to figure out what’s happening. Well, now someone new will be trying to stop their world spinning, because Ld Entertainment wants to re-imagine the film.It’s not planned as a straight remake, but rather a new take on the tale that should function as an homage, with a story set in the present day that explores similar issues – updated to the post-Gulf situation? – with new characters.Midnight Meat Train man Jeff Buhler is aboard to write the script, working from an earlier draft from When A Stranger Calls’ Jake Wall.Whether any new take on the story can match the original from Bruce Joel Robinson and director Adrian Lyne is another matter, particularly since that movie remains a cult favourite thanks to its twisty nature. »
Rosemarie DeWitt Will Help Kill The Messenger
16 hours ago
Jeremy Renner and his production company are moving quickly to get one of their passion projects made, with Michael Cuesta gearing up to direct Kill The Messenger this summer. They’ll get some help from Rosemarie DeWitt, who is locking down a deal to co-star with Renner.Kill The Messenger, written by Peter Landesman, chronicles the tragic true story of investigative journalist Gary Webb. Working at the San Jose Mercury News, Webb uncovered evidence suggesting the CIA’s involvement in the spread of cocaine in Los Angeles. The stories tied the Agency to a scheme that funded Contra rebels in Nicaragua via the drug trade.His three-part series, called Dark Alliance, hit newsstands in 1996, which led to a long, vicious smear campaign and Webb’s suicide in 2004.DeWitt is set to play the female lead, though the reports don’t specify whether that means she’ll be Webb’s wife »

Terence Stamp On For Big Eyes
16 hours ago
He’s a living legend. A strong-voiced stalwart. And still the Zodfather (sorry, Michael “I Will Find Him!” Shannon, but it’s true). Terence Stamp is the sort of man who makes even tough-hearted Harvey Weinstein go all gooey fan boy when he announces his casting in Tim Burton’s latest film, Big Eyes.The film charts the real-life scandal that rocked the art world in the 1970s and 80s when it was revealed that the striking paintings of children with big eyes, claimed by Walter Keane, were actually the work of his soon-to-be-ex-wife, Margaret.After a court case which saw both of the couple presented with an easel to show off their work, Margaret won the right to paint under her own name.Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz are aboard to play the central pair, with Krysten Ritter, Jason Schwartzman, Danny Huston and Jon Polito all in the cast. »
Warner Bros. Playing With More Lego
16 hours ago
Like an impatient child unwilling to wait to unwrap the next toy before they've even really played with the first one, Warner Bros. executives are now tugging at their parents’ clothing to be allowed to make a Ninjago film as a follow-up to The Lego Movie.Though the wannabe blocks-buster doesn’t even arrive until next year, plans are now already afoot to adapt the Ninjago series of toys – which has already spawned a successful cartoon show across the pond – for the big screen.Dan Hageman and Kevin Hageman, who wrote that series (subtitle: Masters Of Spinjitzu) , and who have contributed to the Lego Movie, are aboard to script the film.Ninjago blends Chinese and Japanese cultural myths into one fictional world where Kai, the red ninja of fire, faces snakes and dragons, including the Great Devourer. But the film will apparently plot a new path for its story.Lego »
Monsters University Still Roaring Atop Us Box Office
16 hours ago
Mike and Sulley are continuing their stint at the head of the class for a second weekend. Monsters University, Pixar’s new prequel, won its opening weekend handily and has now fended off stiff competition from Melissa McCarthy/Sandra Bullock cop comedy The Heat to stay atop the Us box office charts, with $46.1 million to date in the States according to studio estimates. The film now has a healthy $171 million Us take after just two weeks on release.Still, Paul Feig and Team Heat won’t be too upset, as the new comedy opened to an impressive $40 million for second place. It forced World War Z into third, with the Brad Pitt zombie fest earning $29.8 million.There was sobering news for Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, though, as Sony’s immensely fun White House Down faltered, opening in fourth to $25.7 million. It’ll need to go some to recoup that hefty $150 million plus price tag. »
