Gary Ross is the Third Screenwriter Hired for Spider-Man 4

9 July 2009 3:13 AM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

Sony is really going all out on this one. They've hired a third screenwriter to rewrite Spider-Man 4 once again. Back in 2007 it was announced that James Vanderbilt (The Rundown, Zodiac) was the very first writer to work on this script. Then it was announced last year that Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Lindsay-Abaire (Robots, Inkheart) would work on it. Now it's Oscar nominated screenwriter Gary Ross responsible for Big, Pleasantville, Seabiscuit, and The Tale of Despereaux. He's a good writer and has a long-standing relationship with Tobey Maguire, which is a good thing, but will that work wonders here? This could be taken as bad news, but I'm trying to look on the bright side. Sony is just making sure they're getting a damn good script. They've got to recover from the bad taste that Spider-Man 3 left in everyone's mouth and they've got boatloads of cash to spend to

HuffPost Interview: Chris Wedge, the Man Behind Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

3 July 2009 10:16 AM, PDT | From Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news

It's not often that you hear the words "3D" and "conservative" in the same sentence, but Chris Wedge is using them as he discusses Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. "There's an art to using it, to designing the 3D aspects," says Wedge, executive producer of the third film in the Ice Age animated series (he directed the first one and still provides the squeaks, squeals and shrieks for the Skrat character), "In the future, I think people will be more thoughtful and conservative about 3D. I prefer not to be reacting to the sensation of something coming at my face." Wedge, creative director of Blue Sky Studios, the production company behind the Ice Age series as well as last year's Horton Hears a Who, has been pushing for a 3D computer-animated feature for a long time: "I wanted to do Robots...

Animation Heads To Rio

12 May 2009 2:36 AM, PDT | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

Brazilian-born director Carlos Saldanha is set to direct Rio, an animated film abouta nerdy macaw who sets off in Crosby and Hope's footsteps on the Road To Rio.Now we know what you're thinking: what makes a macaw nerdy? We're assuming that  he has a particularly naff bell in his cage, or has lined the bottom of it with pages from The Trainspotter's Guide. In any case, he leaves the comfort of his cage, apparently in small-town Minnesota, and heads to Rio de Janeiro. Once there, he gets involved with a gang in the slums and...wait, no that's wrong. But he does go to Rio.Saldanha previously worked on the Ice Age franchise, co-directing the first film, going solo on Meltdown, the second and lead-directing on the nearly-finished third instalment Dawn of the Dinosaurs. He also co-directed Robots, so it will not surprise you to know that this film

Summer Preview 2009

13 April 2009 6:00 AM, PDT | From FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news

2009 seems to be the summer of action, more so than last year’s so-so slate could ever hope to be. Included in this year’s slate of course, are a number of prequels sure to rock the socks off of those who will be going to see them. In fact, 2009 seems to have more prequels than normal, perhaps more than ever!

In spite of this, we also have the blossoming of new franchises, whilst other (more popular) ones begin winding down. It’s a year of variety folks, take advantage of it. If you want to check out what’s on when then you’re in the right place, take a look at the Summer slate for 2009 after the jump:

Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Jackie Earle Haley is Freddy, Robert Patrick in Terminator 5, Japanese Remake of Sideways

5 April 2009 12:02 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

As most bloggers know, the internet becomes a bit of a minefield on April Fool's Day (well, even more than usual), and it was tough to sort through the jokes and hoaxes to find any substantial news this week. Probably the biggest story of the week was the Wolverine leak, which lead to some heated debates over whether or not it is ethical to even report on such a thing. A few interesting announcements came from ShoWest in Las Vegas, and Universal unleashed the first trailer for Sacha Baron Cohen's Bruno. Last but not least, Jackie Earle Haley was confirmed to be a lock for the new Freddy Krueger! It just goes to show, you never know which rumours might actually come true.

First Full Trailer for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

24 March 2009 2:05 PM, PDT | From firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news

This officially debuts tomorrow morning, but our friends at Trailer Addict have already launched the newest full trailer for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. With DreamWorks Animation's Monsters vs Aliens opening this weekend, all the other big studios are launching trailers for their own upcoming animated movies. We saw Summit's new Astro Boy teaser earlier today, and now we've got Fox's Ice Age 3. Although I loved the first Ice Age, I've completely lost all interest in this series, and probably won't even see this in theaters. I feel like they've stretched the story and the characters way too thin, but that's just me. Watch the first full trailer for Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs: We will update this trailer with our own high quality version as soon as it's available! Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs is directed by Carlos Saldanha, who co-directed Ice Age and directed

Gyllenhaal and Carrey to Star in Damn Yankees

27 February 2009 11:01 PM, PST | From toxicshock.tv | See recent toxicshock news

Actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Jim Carrey have signed up with New Line Cinema for a film adaptation of the musical Damn Yankees. Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel (Parenthood, Fever Pitch, Robots) are set to write the script with Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, the duo behind the Hairspray adaptation. Damn Yankees focuses on Joe Boyd, a happily married middle-aged man whose devotion to a unlucky professional baseball team prompts him to make a deal with the devil to help the team win the World Series. He’s then transformed into slugger Joe Hardy in exchange for Boyd’s soul. The devil produces Lola, a gorgeous vixen, to seduce the slugger and seal his fate. Carrey [...]

Carrey And Gyllenhaal Are Damn Yankees

26 February 2009 11:34 PM, PST | From EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news

Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal, together at last - and they'll be all-singing, all-dancing in a remake of 1950s musical Damn Yankees, a story about selling your soul to the Devil and baseball.The original plot sees a middle-aged man make a deal with the Devil (Carrey) so that the ailing baseball team he supports can actually win the World Series for once. The man is transformed into young star player Joe Hardy (Gyllenhaal), who might be able to win the Series for the team - and who had the wit to insert a get-out clause into his contract. But the devil sends in a seductress called Lola (yet to be cast) to ensure he won't take it.No director is onboard as yet: the plan is to get the script from Lowell Ganz and the awesomely-monikered Babaloo Mandel (the pair worked on Robots and Fever Pitch) first. The producers behind Hairspray are pulling the strings,

'Spider-Man 4' to Start Shooting Next Year?

19 January 2009 6:02 AM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

The last we heard about the webbed wonder, Eugene Novikov posted that the Pulitzer Prize-winning David Lindsay-Abaire (pen behind Robots and Inkheart) was getting ready to take his stab at Spider-Man 4. Now MTV reports that the film will start shooting in 2010 -- so, at the very least, another year from now.

It seems that they ran into J.K. Simmons at Sundance, and he said that he'll continue his gig as J. Jonah Jameson in the next instalment, and that he "saw Sam [Raimi] at his Christmas party." I guess that statement is referring to how he found himself involved in the film -- unless Spidey takes on Santa in number 4? Red v. Red, the final showdown?

Considering this news, it certainly seems like the planned May 2011 release can happen, which will mean that each Spidey instalment adds a year (two years between 1 and 2, and three years between 2 and 3). Now, four

Raimi Sparks New Spider-Man 4 Villain Rumor

9 January 2009 11:10 AM, PST | From TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news

The latest issue of Empire Magazine has an interview with director Sam Raimi and the inevitable topic of Spider-Man turned up. Speaking of villains in the Spider-Man universe, Raimi had this to say: “I like it in the Marvel comics when Spider-Man fights Morbius,” said Raimi. “He’s really cool. A vampire! I like that combination of superhero plus supernatural.” The big question now is - does this mean we’ll be seeing Morbius wage battle against Spidey in the upcoming fourth flick? If he’s a Raimi favorite I’d say there’s a good chance. There have also been rumors of including The Lizard. In the comics Morbius’ storyline is connected to The Lizard’s. Michael Morbius was a Nobel Prize-winning biochemist, who had attempted to cure himself of a rare blood disease with an experimental treatment involving vampire bats and electroshock therapy. It didn’t go exactly
