Here’s an Official Look at Naomi Watts as ‘Diana;’ Fall Release Planned
24 May 2013 9:42 AM, PDT
Naomi Watts could be looking at her third Oscar nomination if Entertainment One has anything to say about it. The company has picked up U.S. distribution rights for Diana (formerly titled Caught in Flight), a biopic about Princess Diana’s (Watts) private love affair with a Pakistani heart surgeon (Lost‘s Naveen Andrews). Olivier Hirschbiegel (Downfall) directed the film [...] »

Steven Soderbergh Will Produce and Direct Cinemax Series ‘The Knick’
23 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT
Discussions of Steven Soderbergh‘s “retirement” hadn’t gone on very long before the writer/producer/director clarified that he was really moving away from feature films, not necessarily from working in moving images. Television projects have been on the table, and he’s talked about a couple. (Info on The Sot-Weed Factor is here, for example.) Now there’s a new [...] »

‘Pacific Rim’ Featurette: Fusing for “The Drift”
22 May 2013 11:29 AM, PDT
I’m really trying not to get too hopeful about Guillermo del Toro‘s Pacific Rim. In a visual sense, footage we’ve seen from the movie looks leaps and bounds beyond what we usually get from CG-heavy films. The lighting, color, and detail are all staggering. It’s gorgeous stuff. I have no idea if it will work as [...] »

‘The World’s End’ Trailer: Prepare to Get Annihilated
22 May 2013 7:11 AM, PDT
Here’s the second trailer (well, the first Us one) for Edgar Wright‘s new film The World’s End. Five friends (played by Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, and Eddie Marsan) reunite to complete the epic bar crawl they never manage to finish twenty years ago. But things are different, and it isn’t just because [...] »

/Film Interview: Bryan Burk and Damon Lindelof Discuss Choosing the Villain in ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’
21 May 2013 5:00 PM, PDT
When the subjects are good, no amount of time is sufficient to do an interview. That goes double when you’re speaking with two producers of one of the summer’s closely scrutinized films: Star Trek Into Darkness. Preparing to speak to producer Bryan Burk and producer/co-writer Damon Lindelof, I prepared two dozen questions for a ten-minute interview. I [...] »

21 May 2013 4:19 PM, PDT
Two Star Trek writers don’t think they’ll work on Star Wars, while another one does. Plus the director himself talks all about his fandom. Read about the following in this edition of Star Wars Bits: Who does J.J. Abrams think shot first, Han Solo or Greedo? Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci don’t think they’ll be working [...] »

All-Ages ‘V/H/S/2′ Trailer: Great Intensity, Without Much Blood
21 May 2013 2:30 PM, PDT
I liked the original V/H/S because it was a small, weird collection of shorts. The sequel, V/H/S/2, is bigger and much more bold than the first, with bigger scope and some ideas that are far more weird. It doesn’t have quite the same sense of intimate disquiet, but it has some much more monstrous action. [...] »

Remake Bits: ‘Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance,’ ‘Poltergeist’ Plot, ‘Seven Samurai’ Hints
21 May 2013 6:30 AM, PDT
The three thematically-related films in Park Chan-Wook‘s so-called Vengeance Trilogy helped the director gain worldwide attention. The series’ middle chapter, Oldboy, is the film that really elevated Park’s status, and it has already been remade. (Spike Lee’s version of Oldboy opens in October.) The third “Vengeance” film, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance, has also been optioned for a remake, [...] »

Votd: Watch an Animated Version of Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars Filibuster
20 May 2013 1:00 PM, PDT
Fans have loved Patton Oswalt’s awesome ad-libbed Star Wars: Episode VII pitch. The Parks & Recreation outtake involved a cross-over event involving Disney’s Marvel superhero and galactic universe, inspiring fans to create the one-sheet poster above. I even talked to Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige and Iron Man 3 director Shane Black about the filibuster. Today Isaac Moores has posted a version of [...] »

Bryan Singer Shows Off Blue Jennifer Lawrence as Mystique in ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’
20 May 2013 11:20 AM, PDT
Your daily dose of Marvel Mutant Mayhem isn’t really much as far as mayhem goes, but if you’re a big fan of body paint then this one is going to go over well. Producer/director Bryan Singer is hip-deep in X-Men: Days of Future Past at the moment, and has been tweeting occasional photos of his cast as [...] »

‘Kings of Summer’ Red-Band Trailer
20 May 2013 9:54 AM, PDT
This new red-band trailer for The Kings of Summer, from Jordan Vogt-Roberts, does a much better job of capturing the movie’s character, humor, and adolescent unease than the first trailer did. In fact, this is the look at the film that audiences should have had in the first place. Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso, and Moises Arias play three kids [...] »
