Iron Man 3 Officially Begins Production – Awesome Photo of Robert Downey, Jr. on Set
23 minutes ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
As we all know, The Avengers has taken the box office by storm over the past six weeks, becoming the first movie of 2012 to take a billion dollars. With the money still rolling in, Marvel – as ever keeping an eye on the future – officially announced today that principal photography has started for Iron Man 3, due out in May, 2013 – just eleven more months before Tony Stark returns to the big screen.
A few grainy set photos have been surfacing in the past week online, as well as shots of Robert Downey, Jr. arriving on set, but now a brilliant official photo has been released in tandem with the official announcement – presumably that suggests the photos so far may not have been part of principal photography.
Shane Black, Downey, Jr.’s Kiss Kiss Bang Bang writer-director, is taking over from Jon Favreau behind the camera, co-writing the script with Drew Pearce »

Randall Wallace to Direct The Conscientious Objector
31 May 2012 4:53 PM, PDT | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »
Randall Wallace, man responsible for the Braveheart script, is now in charge for The Conscientious Objector project. But he won’t write it this time, he’s on board to direct the whole thing. We’re not so enthusiastic about this project, (although Wallace definitely have a good team on board), simply because it already sounds quite boring. [...]

The Grey's hero, dead? Perish the thought
31 May 2012 1:53 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
The Grey is out on DVD this week, so at last we can talk about the end … which clearly isn't
Things don't look so great for Liam Neeson at the end of The Grey. He's the last remaining survivor of an aeroplane crash in the frozen tundra, and he's hemmed in by a pack of gigantic, man-eating wolves, who aren't all that well disposed toward him because he's polished off a fair few of their mates in the previous couple of days. As the film draws to its thrilling conclusion, the seething leader of the wolf pack faces off against Neeson, and the two get set to engage in a vicious, mano a mano, winner-takes-all duel to the death. Meanwhile, the rest of the wolves move a side and give the boys room to operate. No two ways about it, Neeson's backed himself into a tight corner this time!

‘Braveheart’ Writer Randall Wallace Is A ‘Conscientous Objector’
30 May 2012 10:33 AM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
If only for his own sake, Randall Wallace will forever be known as the writer of Braveheart; varying degrees of work on Secretariat, We Were Soldiers, and Pearl Harbor don’t crop up alongside his own name too often. But, along with the announcement that he would get back to work with Gibson — if the actor’s crazy antics haven’t shut down some Viking adventures in the months since — this following news is another (potentially) good sign for the writer-director.
According to TheWrap, Walden Media have hired Wallace to direct The Conscientious Objector, a real-life drama about World War II hero Desmond Doss, best known as the first-ever conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor; Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan (The Pacific) is behind the screenplay. (A conscientious objector is someone who, for personal reasons, claims they have no requirement to provide military service. Being a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, »

'Braveheart' Writer Randall Wallace To Direct 'The Conscientious Objector'
30 May 2012 6:43 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Oscar nominated back in 1996 for his "Braveheart" script, but Razzie nominated six years later for writing "Pearl Harbor," it's probably fair to say that Randall Wallace writes a particular type of Hollywood script with varying levels of success. In the role of director, however, his films are much more reliably mediocre. His three efforts behind the camera -- "The Man in the Iron Mask," "We Were Soldiers" and "Secretariat" -- are all fairly competent, if far from thrilling films, so it's kinda hard to get excited about a new Randall Wallace picture.
Wallace has signed to direct the awfully titled "The Conscientious Objector" for Walden Media. The film will again see Wallace mine the second World War for the big screen, and will tell the story of Desmond Doss who was a medic and the first conscientious objector (he became a medic because he refused to carry a weapon in »

Wallace Finds The Conscientious Objector
27 May 2012 12:12 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Randall Wallace is no stranger to cinematic combat, having written Braveheart and Pearl Harbor and directed Vietnam War drama We Were Soldiers. He’s set to return to Harbor’s World War II setting for another real-life tale, The Conscientious Objector.Working from a script by Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Schenkkan, Wallace will chronicle the story of Desmond Doss, a Seventh-day Adventist who was drafted in 1942, but assigned as a medic because he refused to carry a weapon into combat.Thanks to his heroic actions treating his fellow servicemen on the field, he was the first conscientious objector to win the Congressional Medal of Honor.While he’s kept busy with writing assignments including drafts of films such as Outlander, Killing Rommel and Disney’s latest take on 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, Wallace currently seems to prefer to direct other people’s scripts. But the war milieu should at least fall within his comfort zone. »

Initial Piece of Machete Kills Sales Art to be Unleashed at Cannes
15 May 2012 | Horror Asylum | See recent Horror Asylum news »
The upcoming Cannes Film Fest will be treated to the new, yet unrevealing, sales art poster for Robert Rodriguez's action sequel 'Machete Kills'. The new piece of artwork merely features all the headline performers names and not much else aside from the movies logo plastered over what looks like a grotty South American toilet wall. Danny Trejo, Michelle Rodriguez ('Resident Evil: Retribution'), the sexy Amber Heard ('Drive Angry'), the busty Sofia Vergara (below), Demian Bichir and Mel Gibson ('Braveheart') all star in the Grindhouse-styled follow-up which will be released by 20th Century Fox sometime next year.

"Ghost Recon Alpha" Is Your Short Film View of the Tom Clancy-verse
14 May 2012 2:29 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
The new short shows off the future of war.
The video shows the members of the Alpha Squadron, members of the U.S. armed forces, going after a war criminal in the near future Eastern Europe (which is in part where Ghost Recon Future Soldier will be set).
Publisher Ubisoft put this short together alongside Little Minx films, which acts a prequel to the upcoming game, featuring the four playable characters from Future Soldier as members of the cast of characters here. The location in the film will be a multiplayer map from the game and if you look carefully, there's a secret weapon unlock code somewhere in the Ghost Recon Alpha's running time.
Here's the synopsis:
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Alpha boasts a line-up of top Hollywood talent. The film was directed by Academy Award winners Hervé de Crécy and François Alaux, who won an Oscar in 2010 for Logorama, »

The James Clayton Column: jolly holidays with Mel Gibson
10 May 2012 8:20 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
If finding new acting jobs is proving difficult, could Mel Gibson find a glittering new career as a travel operator? If so, James has a few holiday destination suggestions…
Do you remember back in primary (elementary) school when you’d return to the classroom in September and find yourself immediately confronted by a teacher pointing out the words “What I did on my summer holiday” (or “summer vacation”) on the blackboard?
Fresh-faced kids who’ve gone months without school suddenly find themselves anchored back into the academic grind and instructed to concoct a creative project or write a report chronicling their summer holidays. Mine usually read something like this: “We went to the beach. We ate some ice cream. We helped Jason and the Argonauts fight Talos and the skeleton army.” Sadly, references to Ray Harryhausen movies rarely get rewarded with extra marks or ‘star turn!’ stickers.

Harry Lennix to play Henry IV
5 May 2012 9:28 AM, PDT | Shadowlocked | See recent Shadowlocked news »
In a recent interview, actor Harry Lennix revealed that:
“Right now I’m doing what I think is the first black Shakespeare film ever done, which is called “H4”. It’s a reconfiguration using Shakespeare’s language of “Henry IV Part I and Part II”. I play Henry IV in it along with an estimable cast including Keith David, Angus Macfadyen from “Braveheart”, we have a number of young and talented actors.”
Harry Lennix also said that he's producing the film.
On IMDb, Michael Dorn is listed as playing the part of Henry IV, but Shakespeare fansite Bardfilm clarifies:
“Michael Dorn will not be playing Henry IV in the finished version of the film. Scheduling conflicts prevent him from being available for the reshoots. But Harry Lennix, who played Aaron (and played him brilliantly) in Julie Taymor’s Titus, will take over the role.”

The Playlist's 10 Most Anticipated Blockbusters Of The Summer Season
30 April 2012 7:58 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It feels like the summer movie season has been underway for some time already, given that last month saw the arrival of huge blockbuster "The Hunger Games," as well as "21 Jump Street," an R-rated comedy that's taken an enormously impressive $130 million. And that's even without mentioning those that hoped to be big box office stuff, but fell at the first: "John Carter," already taking its place among the annals of the great flops, and "Wrath Of The Titans," which has taken less than half what its predecessor made domestically.
So yes, 2012 has already brought its share of blockbusters, but we're just getting started. Next week brings "The Avengers," the first salvo in a four-month-long cascade of tentpoles that cost more than the Gdp of a third-world country, star-laden comedies and animated extravaganzas. Between now and the middle of August, every single week brings at least one major studio movie, and »

Mel Gibson Fires Back At Eszterhas Over Rant Leak
29 April 2012 4:01 PM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Mel Gibson has addressed his ongoing feud with screenwriter Joe Eszterhas on TV for the first time, revealing he's still upset his former friend recorded him losing his temper during a vacation at the Braveheart star's holiday home in Costa Rica.
Eszterhas embarrassed the actor/director earlier this month when he released audio of the foul-mouthed Aussie star ranting during a dinner he hosted for the screenwriter and his family.
He claimed his teenage son had become so afraid of Gibson he recorded his screaming fit on his iPhone.
The release of the audio came just a week after Eszterhas appeared on U.S. TV news shows reprimanding Gibson for his behaviour in front of his son. Prior to that, the screenwriter fired off a nine-page letter criticising Gibson, accusing him of being an anti-Semite for heated remarks he had made.
The actor responded by telling media outlets that the screenwriter was just bitter because Warner Bros. bosses had turned down his script for a movie Gibson is hoping to make about historical Jewish hero Judah Maccabee.
Appearing on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Friday for his first TV chat since the scandal broke, Gibson joked, "Maybe you don't know this about me, but I've got a little bit of a temper."
He got serious when Leno quizzed him about the audio, adding, "Has it really come to the place where you can't blow off steam in your own home, even if you're justified?
"If he (Eszterhas) put half as much time and effort and creativity and imagination into a screenplay, which he was supposed to write, as he did into that letter, we wouldn't be having this conversation... It's kind of like you build a house, you hire a guy to put a roof on it, he comes over and eats lunch and talks about the roof, and then you get rained on all night. Wouldn't you be kind of peeved?"
Gibson reminded Leno that he had already written an open letter to Eszterhas apologising for losing his temper and saying some things he regretted, adding, "I guess it wasn't good enough. Sorry... I shall pray for him." »
Mel Gibson justifies lashing out at screenwriter Joe Eszterhas - Realbollywood.com News

New York, Apr 29: Mel Gibson has said that he has "a bit of a temper" in an interview with Jay Leno on the 'Tonight Show' Friday.
The 'Braveheart' star told the talk show host that he was justified in unleashing a stream of expletives against screenwriter Joe Eszterhas.
"Has it really come to the place where you can't blow off steam in your own home, even if you're justified?" the New York Daily News quoted the actor as saying.
It was the first time Gibson publicly addressed the foul-mouthed tirade after a recording of it was leaked online earlier. »

Game of Thrones – Season 2, Episode 4: “The Garden of Bones”
23 April 2012 5:04 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
To borrow a line from our red-haired freaktress, this episode was dark and full of terrors. (How many recaps will open with that? A ton of them . Also, how many ladies will be cosplaying as Melisandre at Comic-Con this year? A ton of them.)
If anyone out there was saying “Hey, the intrigue and T&A is great and all, but I need some horror in my Thrones or I’ll quit watching,” they were well served by this episode. Suddenly, all the violent talk turned to vicious action, and one was hard pressed to decide what was worse – the stuff we saw, or the stuff we didn’t see, but experienced only through the wide-eyed terror of the characters.
It was gore from the first minute, wasn’t it? We finally got to see what exactly a direwolf does to a human body. I’m sure you weren’t in any doubt of that, »
