Bradley Cooper Enters the "Dark Fields"

8 November 2009 1:16 AM, PST | Reel Empire | See recent Reel Empire news »

It was recently announced that Bradley Cooper (The Hangover, Alias, Midnight Meat Train) will be headlining Relativity Media and Rogue Picture's thriller titled "Dark Fields". Cooper has replaced "Transformers" star Shia Labeouf according to reports. The movie is based on a book of the same name by author Alan Glynn. Neil Burger will be directing the picture from a script written by Leslie Dixon (The Thomas Crown Affair). The premise is rather strange and I should be surprised that Bradley Cooper would headline a flick like this after moving to A-list status after the unexpected sucess of "The Hangover". Then again, he did star in "Midnight Meat Train" thus anything's possible. Read on to see what the movie is about.

Megan Fox's full of baloney

7 November 2009 2:01 AM, PST | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

Megan Fox doesn't notice people finding her attractive. The 'Transformers' star - who is regularly voted among the world's sexiest actresses - claims she leads too much of a quiet life with on/off boyfriend Brian Austin Green to notice other people's responses to her appearance. She said: "I don't really experience it because I've been in the same relationships forever. "I stay at home most of the time, but I guess I'm not complaining. Nobody in their right mind would complain. It's great." Megan - who has dated the actor since they met on the set of Us TV show 'Hope and Faith' in 2004 - has often claimed to be insecure about how she looks, and hit out »

Star Trek (2009) Blu-ray Review

6 November 2009 10:56 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Space. The Final Frontier. A place few were willing to venture with the last two Star Trek: The Next Generation helmed films. On virtual life support, J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot collaborators reinvented the iconic franchise into something hardened Star Trek fans and casual moviegoers without an ounce of prior interest in the series could equally digest and enjoy. His efforts carried Star Trek into a new frontier of success and riches at the 2009 box office, to a place where Paramount's treatment of the Blu-ray Disc release should . and marvelously does - fall into the esteemed category of exemplary.

Star Trek's reboot begins with a huge bang, a knockout prologue that chronicles the birth of James T. Kirk and the death of his father, a Starship Captain (for twelve minutes), all during a surprise attack by a renegade Romulan Nero (Eric Bana). Flash forward a quarter of a »

The Men Who Stare At Goats Review

6 November 2009 6:52 PM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Seven out of ten times, I’m going to come out enjoying a film that operates on its own terms. It’s the first and best thing I can say about Michael Mann, which just adds to my fanboy nature when it comes to his work. As a more recent example, the Coen Brothers’ A Serious Man just acts as its own entity from beginning to end, and never makes any apologies for it. While not as brilliant or as great as that picture, The Men Who Stare at Goats is that kid we all knew in high school. You’re not really sure who he is or what he’s about, but you know that when you spend time with him, you’re going to be entertained.

So why won’t this appeal to the masses? Very simply because of the script, which goes off the rails midway through the picture. »

Micronauts the Movie? J.J. Abrams? Wth?

6 November 2009 9:11 AM, PST | SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news »

The Wall Street Journal, of all places, currently has an article on Hollywood’s gold rush to make movies out of toys and board games following the phenomenal success of Michael Bay’s “Transformers”. Toward the end of the article, it mentions that “Star Trek’s” (and “Lost” mastermind) J.J. Abrams is currently in discussions to produce a movie based on the Japanese toy line Micronauts, which, coincidentally, Hasbro (the same people behind “Transformers”) has just acquired. Opines Abrams: “Sometimes, when someone is not a celebrity and you are casting them in a role, everyone who is in a seat of authority voices questions about that actor’s talent, sex appeal, looks, ability — their everything. But then they get the role, and suddenly they are on the cover of every magazine, and nobody questions those things again. In retrospect, everyone says, ‘Of course that person is a star.’” I don »

eBay find: Megan Fox's bloody gloves from Jennifer's Body

6 November 2009 7:45 AM, PST | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

However trendy the goth girl look is right now, clothes covered in blood are seriously unlikely to catch on with the mainstream. Carrie White (Sissy Spacek) championed the look back in the 1976 Stephen King horror and it didn’t work then, however that hasn’t deterred Megan Fox from having a go, the Transformers actress getting a blood bath in new comedy/ horror, Jennifer’s Body. Not that she’s an innocent bystander in all the bloodshed, nope, Fox’s Jennifer is the one causing it all and she wears the results of her carnage with pride, her prom dress outfit getting well and truly trashed. And we’ve spotted the blood-spattered opera gloves she wears with this outfit for auction online, making them week’s eBay find. »

5 November 2009 10:04 PM, PST | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »

Fergie's husband Josh Duhamel loved having "extra meat" to grab hold of when she put on weight. The Black Eyed Peas star put on 13lbs for her role in new musical movie "Nine" but says her actor spouse never made her feel body-conscious.

She said: "When I came home from filming he was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it's there and the tight stomach when that's there.he's never been critical."

Fergie also said she is the perfect partner because she can be both a good girl and bad girl.

She told America's Cosmopolitan magazine: "You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe that there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore. And me? I'm both."

The couple's marriage was recently rocked by allegations the "Transformers" star had cheated on his wife with a stripper.

Sony Takes Risk: The Film of World Domination

5 November 2009 4:54 PM, PST | Filmofilia | See recent Filmofilia news »

Sony Pictures has acquired the film rights to the classic board game “Risk,” Another Hasbro board game which was invented in 1957 by French filmmaker Albert Lamorisse as “La Conquete du Monde” (Conquest of the World). Two years later, in 1959, Parker Brothers (now a division of Hasbro) published the game we all came to know as “Risk.”

Columbia Pictures president Doug Belgrad said:

Hasbro has already seen tremendous success with Transformers and GI Joe and audiences have shown a great desire for films that bring to life everything that has made these franchise properties stand the test of time.

The strategic thinking and the tactical gambles that players must take in the game are what make Risk a classic, thoroughly engaging game. Those elements translated into an action-packed, thrilling story are what will make this a uniquely exciting movie.

Brian Goldner, Bennett Schneir and James Lassiter will produce.

Sony Takes Risk: The Film of World Domination

5 November 2009 1:01 PM, PST | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »

Sony Pictures has acquired the movie rights to the board game “Risk” from Hasbro.  The studio is hoping the “strategic and tactical gameplay” will translate to the silver screen.

The game of world domination was created in 1957 by French film director Albert Lamorisse before it was purchased by Parker Brothers two years later.  Parker Bros was then acquired by Hasbro in 1991. For those of you who haven’t amassed your forces in Kamchatka, Risk is a turn based board game for 2 to 6 players where you try to capture territories and control the world with your army.

In the trade paper announcement, Columbia Pictures President Doug Belgrad cites the success of franchises like Transformers and G.I. Joe as reason enough to pour more money into rainy day nostalgia.

The studios, especially Universal, seem to be moving aggressively forward with these toy and board game adaptations. Video game movies didn’t »

‘Risk’ Board Game To Be Movietized

5 November 2009 12:47 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Deadline Hollywood tells us that Sony Pictures bought the rights to make a movie based on Risk, the classic board game produced by Parker Brothers (a division of Hasbro™).  No details yet on who would direct, write the script or star in such a film, so we can jump right to speculation and opinion before we get to the press release.

Sony only has to look to Tmnt, Transformers, G.I. Joe or Pirates of the Carribean for evidence that films based on toys/games/rides that have been popular with children can make big, big money at the box office – despite the fact that out of that same list, only Pirates received significant critical acclaim (at least the first film did)  Risk doesn’t exactly stir up the same memories Tmnt/Transformers/G.I. Joe does for twenty and thirty-somethings, but then, neither did Pirates.  I’m no expert, »
