Screenwriter David S. Goyer talks creating a new Superman for Man of Steel, debuting in theaters nationwide June 14
For those who truly appreciate the art of screenwriting, David S. Goyer is one of the best in the biz. Not only was he the story architect behind Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, but he also wrote the Blade trilogy and brought us the underrated Dark City and TV shows such as FlashForward and the current Starz hit series Da Vinci's Demons. Now he turns to another superhero by reinventing Superman in fascinating ways with Man of Steel, debuting in theaters nationwide June 14 (clickHere to read my full review). I recently had the chance to sit down with the writer at the press junket to discuss his approach to Superman, how long it took him to write the script, and much more. Here's what he had to say.

Jaime Lannister From 'Game Of Thrones' To Star In Alex Proyas' 'Gods Of Egypt'
5 June 2013 7:19 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Guys, no spoilers, but fucking serious amount of shit went down last weekend on "Game Of Thrones" and while the world is picking up its collective jaw off the floor, Jaime Lannister (aka Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is making some plans between seasons spent in Westeros. The actor has boarded "Gods Of Egypt," the next effort from "Dark City" helmer Alex Proyas. First announced over a year ago, and one of many projects jockeying for attention on Proyas' slate, this one looks to be taking the pole position. Penned by Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama (who both wrote Universal's upcoming "Dracula" reboot), the movie will be set against the legendary world of great pyramids and sphinxes, with Ncw playing "Horus, the god of the sky, who teams up with a human thief and Hathor, the goddess of love, on a magical quest to avenge the death of his father, Osiris." So, "Immortals" or something? »

FM’s Got Issues… With Sci-Fi Scope
15 May 2013 7:05 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Forry Ackerman loved his Sci-Fi so much he came up with a new word for it. And who can blame him? The draw of spaceships, the haunt of dreams, the combination of technology and giant monsters that breathe poisonous demon-gas. It’s like the craziest of all possible worlds meets human intelligence. And if there’s one word I would use to describe these worlds, it would be Scope.
Scope, you see, is the sheer magnitude of what is at stake—be it through time, space, emotion, or physical scale. It’s the “oh, crap” moment when you realize that the little island you’re standing on is a giant sea monster; the chills provided by soaring music that captures several lifetimes; the strange situation of having multiple planets to choose from or travel between. The Death Star blowing up Alderaan? That’s scope. This ain’t no mouthwash product, »

Luke Evans Cast as 'Dracula' and 'The Crow'
6 May 2013 6:55 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
Almost a month ago Luke Evans was cast to play the lead character in Universal's Dracula, a film that has been in development for quite a long time, once attracting Sam Worthington in the lead role with Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City) directing. Proyas' project fell apart and now Universal is putting it back together with Evans as the first aboard to tell the story of a young prince who, when the lives of his wife and child are put in danger by a bloodthirsty sultan, risks his soul to save them, and in the process becomes the first vampire. First time feature director Gary Shore is helming the project, which should give you some idea of just what exactly Universal is putting together. Shore first came to the attention of most for his non-commissioned trailer for The Wolverine, which you can watch to the right. By the looks »

Script Review: How Much Does The Crow Reboot Differ From Brandon Lee's Version?
5 May 2013 9:01 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
In 1994, The Crow, a graphic novel created James O'Barr, was brought to life by Dark City director Alex Proyas. The film would star Brandon Lee as Eric Draven, a musician who comes back from the dead to seek revenge against the people responsible for his own death and the death of his fiancee. The supernatural/actioner was a huge hit at the box office and received fairly favorable from critics. Of course, the film had a dark eerie element to it that can never be duplicated, as it was Brandon Lee's final role. The young promising actor, son of the great martial artist Bruce Lee, tragically died during filming when a firearm for a scene was mishandled. But now, almost twenty years later, Relativity Media has decided to see if can bring The Crow back to life. At the helm for this version is F. Javier Gutierrez ("Before The »
‘The Crow’ Is Expected To Sign Luke Evans As Leading Man
4 May 2013 6:48 PM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »
Deadline reports that Luke Evans (Fast & Furious 6) is expected to be cast as the lead in The Crow.
Here is exactly what Deadline said: “They are now in negotiations and I expect the deal to make.”
The Crow is a comic book series written by James O’Barr about a man who is resurrected by a crow in order to exact revenge on those who killed him and his fiancée.
F. Javier Gutierrez (Before the Fall) is directing from a script by Cliff Dorfman (Warrior). The film is scheduled to begin production early next year.
The story was adapted before as a film in 1994 by Alex Proyas (Dark City, Knowing) to great success. However, the lead actor Brandon Lee (son of Bruce) was shot and killed accidentally during filming.
I was really hoping that Tom Hiddleston would be cast after undergoing a makeup test last month.

Sarah Gadon is Dracula’s One and Only Bride
2 May 2013 1:54 PM, PDT | Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news »
Before Dracula went and got himself a whole buncha brides, he only had one — and actress Sarah Gadon will play her in the upcoming “Dracula” starring Luke Evans as the title bloodsucker, here re-envisioned as a noble warrior/ruler who must do terrible things to save his people and the woman he loves. Evans is already attached to play Prince Vlad in a take on the bloodsucker that will, we’re told, be a mixture of “mythology and history”, which, in Hollywood speak, probably means taking the real Vlad and just totally making shit up around him as they go. Gary Shore, who made a real name for himself when he created the short film “The Cup of Tears” (below, if you’ve never seen it), will make his feature film debut on the movie, which was once called “Dracula: Year Zero” back when Alex Proyas (“Dark City”) was still attached to direct. »

Top 10 Fringe episodes

Top 10 Juliette Harrisson 2 May 2013 - 07:00
Now that Fringe has finally left the building, Juliette salutes its ten best episodes. See if your favourite made the cut...
For five years, Fringe kept us glued to our screens with alternate universes, alternate timelines, alternate futures and a weekly dose of stories it would be unwise to watch while eating a meal. Ultimately a show about family and the things we do, right or wrong, for the people we love, whether it was doing The X-Files with extra red vines, Sliders with more people getting chopped in half or Dark City with more countryside. These are ten of its finest hours.
10. An Origin Story (Season Five)
Season five tells one continuous story across its thirteen episodes, which means that, like other shorter and heavy serialised shows (Game of Thrones, True Blood, Spartacus) it’s harder to identify individual episodes that really stand out, »

Avengers Star Tom Hiddleston In Talks To Play Lead In ‘The Crow’

According to The Wrap, Tom Hiddleston, who played Loki in The Avengers, is in early discussions to play the lead role in The Crow. James McAvoy was said to be circling the role earlier this year but he’s since dismissed that as a rumor.

Inside Mann: William Goldenberg talks about Heat

Trevor Hogg chats with Academy Award winner William Goldenberg about the nervousness and excitement he experienced while collaborating with Michael Mann for the first time....
“Michael [Mann] is the most meticulous director I have ever worked with to the point of obsession,” states William Goldenberg who has collaborated with Ben Affleck (Gone Baby Gone, Argo), Kathryn Bigelow (Zero Dark Thirty), Gary Ross (Seabiscuit, Pleasantville) and Michael Bay (Transformers: Dark of the Moon). “When we did The Insider [1999] we shot in almost every location where the actual event happened. He would want to make sure down to what tie, ring or watch the actors had on; it is complete authenticity at any price.” Goldenberg is impressed by the ability of Mann to have the stamina and wherewithal to write and director while still having the energy to pay attention to detail. “When Michael watches dailies he sits with a tape or digital »

Tom Jolliffe takes in a Brandon Lee retrospective triple bill of Showdown in Little Tokyo, Rapid Fire and The Crow...
Today (March 31st) marks 20 years since the untimely death of Brandon Lee. The Lee legacy on cinema is no small matter. Bruce Lee of course remains more iconic and more influential, having changed the face of martial arts on screen. That should not take away the fact that Brandon Lee was taken away from the cinema world on the cusp of breaking really big. He had it all - the looks, the physique, the fighting ability. What also set him apart from many of his action contemporaries too was the fact he also had charisma in abundance and a lot of raw potential as an actor too.
Who know how Brandon Lee's career might have transpired, or what he may have achieved, but it would be safe to say, »

10 Movies We Can’t Wait To See In 1998
1 April 2013 5:06 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
1998 is fast shaping up to be a great year for movies. We have already had a few crackers such as Alex Proyas’ Dark City, The Postman and endless re-visits to the multiplex to see Titanic (we just can’t get enough of it). The rest of the year looks to be pretty decent too. In order to keep you up to speed with what to look out for, here are the ten which are going to dominate the rest of 1998.
Honourable mentions go to Deep Impact, The Truman Show, Dr. Dolittle and The Odd Couple 2, but unfortunately there can only be ten films on this list and here they are, in order of release date. Expect to see these dominating the box office as well as the Oscar Nominations (maybe not for Armageddon) throughout the rest of the year.

Dwayne Johnson’s (“The Rock”) version of Hercules: The Thracian Wars continues to rush towards its May start date by including more fantastic actors into its cast. Recently, Dark City star Rufus Sewell was announced to play Autolycus, Hercules’ teacher, and that’s on top of the revelation that European actor Aksel Hennie will be playing Tydeus, Hercules’ friend. Now, according to Variety, Shakespeare In Love alum Joseph Fiennes (recently seen in American Horror Story) has been added to the cast as Eurystheus who, according to Greek mythology, was Hercules’ cousin whom he served under for several years. Deadwood star Ian McShane is also rounding out the...

Check Out This Freaky Concept Art for the 'Paradise Lost' Movie That Never Happened
25 March 2013 1:15 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Concept designer Brian Matyas created art for the Alex Proyas' scrapped adaptation of John Milton's epic poem, Paradise Lost. The film was set for production about a year ago, but budget concerns overwhelmed the story about Lucifer's descent into hell and transformation into the Satan. Proyas' plan to create elaborate sets for Heaven, Hell, and the Garden of Eden had already reached a $100 million budget — and as well all know, these numbers are never that firm. Legendary Pictures feared increases, and paradise was indeed lost. Fans of The Crow and Dark City director Alex Proyas were excited to see him take on a project of this scope. His penchant for dark, textured visuals would have been a great addition to the action-packed biblical drama, which is now...

Law's 'Jane' Replacements Line Up, 'Hercules' Cast Fills Out and another Oldman and Hardy Reunion
22 March 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
1.) The saga of Jane Got a Gun continues today following Jude Law's departure from the picture after director Lynne Ramsay inexplicably (and she's not talking) departed the picture only to be replaced by Gavin O'Connor. Now Law must be replaced and word has it Jake Gyllenhaal, Tobey Maguire and Jeff Bridges are the candidates. Personally I'm not sure how the first two compare to the third, but as the villain of the piece I guess age must not matter. La Times 2.) Brett Ratner's Hercules starring Dwayne Johnson in the title role has added a few more cast members with Ian McShane (Jack the Giant Slayer), Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), Rufus Sewell (Dark City), John Hurt (V for Vendetta) and newcomer Rebecca Ferguson to the picture. Filming begins in May from a script by Ryan Condal is based on the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars. The film »

More Cast to Join The Rock in Hercules

Ian McShane Will Mentor The Rock In Hercules
21 March 2013 2:02 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
You think you know the story of Hercules? The Rock and Brett Ratner are en route to proving you wrong. The Tower Heist director is helming a new and reportedly grittier take on the Greek myth from the Radical Studios graphic novel that sets up the mighty demigod as a mercenary for hire. Dwayne Johnson will front Hercules in the title role, and previous casting reports revealed Aksel Hennie (Headhunters) and Rufus Sewell (Dark City) will co-star. But with production set to start in a few short weeks, casting is heating up. And this epic's ensemble is growing even more impressive. THR reports that Ian McShane (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love), John Hurt (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson (A One-Way Trip to Antibes) have signed on to the tent pole pic.
