Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1980′s
11 June 2013 6:34 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
As all lovers of crime, suspense thriller, war, western, horror and science fiction films know, creating a truly great cinematic villain is no easy task. When it happens, it’s virtually impossible to forget that character.
We’ll now take a look at the greatest film villains of the 1980’s.
The criteria for this article is the same as my previous article Cinema’s Greatest Villains: The 1970’s: the villains must be from live-action films-no animated features-and must pose some type of direct or indirect lethal threat. The villains can be either individuals or small groups that act as one unit.
The villains must be human or human in appearance, so no shape-shifting alien from John Carpenter’s amazing 1982 The Thing, no Aliens from James Cameron’s classic 1986 sequel and no Predator from John McTiernan’s beloved 1987 film of the same name.
Also, individuals that are the central protagonists/antiheroes »

Blu Review: Lifeforce Collector's Edition
10 June 2013 9:04 AM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »
Scream Factory brings us 1985's space vampire flick Lifeforce to Blu-ray for the first time ever. Although Tobe Hooper's blend of sci-fi and horror didn't fare well at the box office when first released, it's gained a cult following over the years thanks to video and DVD. Lifeforce Collector's Edition includes both the theatrical cut and a longer director approved version.
An alien spacecraft is discovered in the midst of Halley's Comet by astronauts sent to investigate. Upon entering the ship, they find three humanoids which are in a type of sleep state. They bring the bodies aboard their vessel and discover too quickly that was a mistake. The aliens take over the Earthbound craft by killing everyone on board. Led by their seductively beautiful leader, they arrive on Earth and begin draining the life out of everyone they encounter.
I would say that Lifeforce is probably Tobe Hooper »

A Prophet set for Hollywood remake
6 June 2013 2:46 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Sony to make English-language version of French crime film, with Fast & Furious producer Neal Moritz at helm
Hollywood producers are planning a remake of the 2009 Cannes film festival smash A Prophet, from French director Jacques Audiard.
Studio Sony has bought the rights to Audiard's unorthodox gangster flick, the tale of a young and guileless French-Algerian felon who flourishes after becoming the prison pet of a greasy Corsican gangster. Tahar Rahim and Niels Arestrup took the lead roles in the original film, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes and was France's entry for the foreign-language Oscar as well as the winner of a remarkable nine prizes at the Césars, the nation's top film award ceremony.
The Us version is being put together by producer Neal Moritz, who is best known for the enduringly popular Fast & Furious movies. Moritz has history, good and bad, in the remake game: he oversaw the »

Video Premiere: The Rocketboys - "Marching to the Palace"
5 June 2013 1:00 PM, PDT | Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news »
After a yearlong hiatus in 2011, Austin-based band The Rocketboys returned to their home studio to record Build Anyway. The album, which chronicles some of the band’s struggles personally and musically, was released in the summer of 2012. The Rocketboys are back with a new music video for “Marching to the Palace”, a track from Build Anyway. The video, directed by Dustin Reid, is a shameless homage to the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. The action packed narrative of the video nicely compliments the upbeat yet ethereal vibe of the song. The band will be hosting a video release »

Mortiz (producer of the Fast/Furious films and stuff like Total Recall and Prison Break) will produce the remake for Sony, which optioned the story. The original film [...] »

The 15 Most Evil Movie Corporations
3 June 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Warning: Spoilers all up in the conference room.
Never trust an organized entity, especially if it has a 401K plan.
As this week's new thriller "The East" chronicles a former FBI agent's transition to a private job at a sinister intelligence agency, we thought we'd look back at the rich history of evil movie corporations and separate the maniacally, outrageously, inexcusably evil from the "Aw, that's cute, look at them trying to be evil" evil.
Our extensive audit resulted in the following cinematic analysis. Proceed with caution, employees and non-employees alike.
15. Initech ('Office Space')
Peter Gibbons' corporate hell, personified in the passive-aggressive overtime demands of Lumbergh and stapler-fetishizing mumblings of Milton, wasn’t bent on world domination or the complete destruction of humanity. The evil here was much more subtle, realistic and soul-crushing. Thankfully, Peter escaped with a swanky blue collar job cleaning up filth — a better »

'Remember Me' Review (Xbox 360) -- Don't You (Forget About Me)
3 June 2013 10:55 AM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
"Remember Me" is a game about loss and redemption in a society that has opted out of privacy in favor of blissful ignorance thanks to a revolutionary device that can digitize memories which can be shared and wiped. In this brave new world, these memories act as commodities to be bought, bargained, and sold for all your wants and needs. Nothing is secret and no memory is painful anymore -- the ideal of a Utopian society that shares all its thoughts while simply erasing the bad ones. However, an underground movement, started by a group calling itself "Errorists," believe that humanity is heading in the wrong direction and the privileged few aren't seeing the full picture. There's a dark side, you'll see, to messing around in people's noggins and it's not very pretty. This is all set up for our amnesiac protagonist, Nilin, to dole out justice against the evil Memorize corporation, »

New Writer for Blade Runner Sequel
31 May 2013 2:32 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
When a Blade Runner sequel was announced, fans were happy to hear that Ridley Scott was returning to direct. Later, it was revealed that Blade Runner screenwriter Hampton Fancher would be writing the new script, but it has been announced that a new writer is being brought in to work on a rewrite.
“Los Angeles, CA, May 31, 2013—Writer Michael Green is in negotiations to do a rewrite of Alcon Entertainment’s “Blade Runner” sequel penned by Hampton Fancher (“Blade Runner,” “The Minus Man,” “The Mighty Quinn”) and to be directed by Ridley Scott. Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set some years after the first film concluded.
Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, along with Ridley Scott. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO’s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.

‘Blade Runner’ Sequel Moving Forward with Writer
31 May 2013 1:07 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »
A sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” is gaining momentum, with Michael Green in talks to rewrite the script from Hampton Fancher, who wrote the screenplay for the 1982 original.
Alcon Entertainment has been working on the project for over two years, since announcing in early 2011 that it had secured film, TV and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic thriller. In August 2011, Scott committed to direct.
Watch the New Trailer For ‘Ender’s Game’
Alcon has noted that Scott and his “Blade Runner” collaborator Fancher originally conceived of “Blade Runner” as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick’s novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,” from which “Blade Runner” was adapted.
Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set several years after the first film concluded in a dystopian version of Los Angeles.

DVD Review - Stranded (2013)
28 May 2013 2:10 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Stranded, 2013.
Directed by Roger Christian.
Starring Christian Slater, Brendan Fehr, Amy Matysio, and Michael Therriault.
Synopsis:
Four isolated astronauts on board a bio-dome space craft experience a ghostly intercession after a meteor storm, leading to paranoia, fear and death.
I was trapped watching Stranded. Trapped on a train travelling home from London. There was nowhere to go and I had to watch it. Twenty minutes into the film my daughter told me she “couldn’t watch anymore of this” and went back to taking pictures of cups for Instagram. I envied her.
A fair few years back a group of friends, my wife and I attempted to create an “A to Z of B-Movies Available to Rent and Buy”. We had no idea where it would go, but our goal was to make a book about these films. After about four films we couldn’t continue due to the awful task we’d set ourselves. »

10 Famous Movies That Genuinely Deserve Remakes
28 May 2013 7:12 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
It is perhaps fair to say that nothing has divided movie-goers more than the very notion of remakes. It seems to have become one of the most profitable methods for movie making in Hollywood today. From all out reboots like “The Amazing Spider-Man” to modernised remakes like “Total Recall”, everyone has an opinion on this. While some folks think it’s a travesty bereft of any semblance of originality, others simply think “Sure, why not?”.
There are of course films that we may not have realised were remakes. Either because we had never heard of the original (perhaps due to its age) or that it was so gut-wrenchingly awful that it has been effectively brushed under the carpet of time and erased from the memory of modern cinematic society. Whatever the case may be, if we’ve heard of the original, or seen it, chances are some of us are »

5 Sci-Fi Books That Should Be Adapted: Any Philip K. Dick Novel
24 May 2013 4:36 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The Book: Any Philip K. Dick novel
Why it should be adapted:
This is the final installment of the “5 Sci-Fi books that should be adapted” column and I was a little bit stuck on what the last book should be. Call it an editorial writer’s block, if you will. Now, some of you might consider this to be lazy or uncreative, but I stand by this choice. If you were to list some of the best Science Fiction that’s ever been written, some of Philip K.Dick’s novels would likely show up a time or two, at the very least.
It isn’t unprecedented for a Dick novel to be adapted for a movie. Some of the more popular movies that have been a Philip K. Dick novel are Total Recall, Minority Report, Blade Runner, and The Adjustment Bureau. These are just a small handful of movies »

Timecop getting the Remake Treatment
23 May 2013 1:45 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Universal Picture has decided to take the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi action film Timecop and remake it. Why? I guess they thought they could do a better job this time around, and you know what? They're probably right.
Look, I enjoyed Timecop just as much as the next guy, but let's face it, the movie was far from perfect. I can see someone actually turning it into a better film. I know it's one of Van Damme's best and most successful movies, but it's not one of my favorites. It's just kind of ridiculous that Universal has resorted to remaking this film. I don't know how it can be any better than the Total Recall remake, and that movie bombed.
The original film was based on a story published by Dark Horse Comics, and it's set in the near future "where time travel is regulated by a police force, and »

Universal Plans To Remake Jean-Claude Van Damme Hit 'Timecop'
23 May 2013 7:16 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Hollywood sequels, remakes, and reboots have become so commonplace these days that it should no longer register any surprise when you hear news that a studio is developing yet another one. Still, there are those cases where Hollywood announces a remake and it’s a little perplexing. Was anyone really asking for a “Total Recall” remake, for example? The answer, as it turned out last year, was no. That doesn’t faze the studio heads, especially not Universal who are planning on doing a reboot of their own. The project is “Timecop,” a remake of the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi action film which was simultaneously released as a comic that same year. The film wound up becoming a box office success and helped to launch a sequel (direct-to-video) and a spin-off TV series (cancelled after nine episodes). In the film -- set in the far future of 2004 -- Van Damme plays Max Walker, »

Universal Plans Timecop Reboot. With No Van Damme, Damnit!
22 May 2013 8:23 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
In my mind this is how I picture Jcvd took the news that Universal was planning to reboot one of his most successful films without his involvement. Universal is presently searching out writers to reboot and re-imagine the concept of the 1994 sci-fi actioner Timecop. You will remember that the story of the film is about a police force called the Time Enforcement Commission that regulates time travel. Van Damme played the cop who crosses a crooked politician using time travel to further his career. Can we just take a second to remind Universal what happened to Sony and the near disastrous performance of a reboot of a much more idolized sci-fi action epic Total Recall. The film bombed domestically here in North America. If it were...

If you've ever seen how Schwarzenegger talks about his movies, especially the "Total Recall" audio commentary, you know how fun it can be.
Also, to celebrate the release, we spoke with Schwarzenegger's co-star Jaimie Alexander, who explained what it was like to watch herself in an action movie alongside the legend.
Check out our interview with Jaimie Alexander after the jump!
How has it been looking back at "The Last Stand"?
I've said it before, but this probably the most fun I've ever had on a set. We all would eat lunch together every day. We just had such a great crew and cast. I wish there could be a sequel.
Is it different watching yourself in an action movie? »

Paul Verhoeven Wants to Direct ‘The Legend of Conan’
20 May 2013 5:11 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Paul Verhoeven has stated that he’d like to direct Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Legend of Conan. The two previously worked together on the original Total Recall, with great results.
Here’s Verhoeven:
“If they asked me, I’d certainly love to – let’s put it that way. But I don’t know what the script is. I don’t know what Arnold wants. I’m a big fan in fact of Conan. That’s a great movie and I found that the composer, Basil Poledouris, basically inspired many of my movies [the soundtracks] like Arnold, Robocop, Starship Troopers and Total Recall. The score of Conan is great. The style of editing that (John) Milius used was very beautiful, and Arnold does a great job. He was really the perfect choice.”
There’s no director yet. Hell, the script isn’t even finished, but given their past working relationship I suppose it »
