This List of 'Most Dangerous Stunts Done Without Stunt Doubles' Needs Your Help
8 December 2009 4:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
PopCrunch just put up a compilation of the 13 Most Dangerous Movie Stunts Done Without Stunt Doubles and, well, it's missing a few must-haves for such a topic. But before getting to who/what didn't make the cut, let's look at those who did: Jason Statham's helmet-less bike ride wearing a hospital gown in Crank? Sylvester Stallone in Rambo and Harrison Ford in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull simply because they were old during filming? Christian Bale losing 63 pounds for The Machinist? Matt Damon filming a "scene in the water" in one of the Bourne films? I find few of those qualifying of a Most Dangerous label.
Now PC's list isn't always so nebulous. Jackie Chan, Tom Cruise, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd all warrant being on such a list, but unfortunately they're inclusion only serves to highlight how lacking the rest of the roster is; not to mention their »

Review & Photos: An Evening with Pinewood Legends
8 December 2009 4:51 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
On Saturday I was lucky enough to attend a very special charity evening in aid of the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation. It took place, as you might have guessed at the legendary Pinewood Studios just outside London near Windsor. The event was in aid of the Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation, a charity that helps people with disabilities to increase independence and improve life skills.
The event was named the Pinewood Legends evening for a reason. Invited along as guests of the Foundation were:
Roy Button OBE (Senior Vice President & MD of Warner Bros.) Paul Weston (Stunts, Daylight, Superman I, II, III) Terence Clegg (Producer, Out of Africa, A Clock Work Orange) Mike Moran (Movie music score composer) Joss Williams (Special Effects Supervisor on Green Zone, Hell Boy 2, Rambo, The Bourne Ultimatum) Anthony Waye (Producer, Casino Royale) Saeed Jaffrey (Actor, Gandhi) Paul Hitchcock (Producers, Mission Impossible, Firefox)

Ninja Assassin Review
25 November 2009 9:06 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Short Version: Ninja Assassin has many flaws; however, the ninjas are not one of them. All of the ninja action in this film is awesome, and for fans of the genre that’s probably enough.
Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews Ninja Assassin
Ninja Assassin is the first action movie this Fall that delivers on what it promises: Lots of ninja action.
I’m a sucker for a good ninja fight, no matter how choreographed it is. The silent-but-deadly ninja was a huge part of the 80’s action movie sub-culture; since I grew up in the 80’s, I have seen every one that I can get my hands on (yes that includes American Ninja, I, II, III, IV And V). Ninjas doing what they do best (being sneaky) have slowly crept into popular culture over time. Mythbusters did an entire episode on ninja myth and lore and the website AskANinja. »

Ask Him Again, His Soul is Still Dancing. 15 minutes with Werner Herzog.
19 November 2009 11:53 AM, PST | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
One of the pleasures of going to film festivals are the Q&A sessions afterwards. If you read humour pieces regarding this aspect of the festival experience, they are often snarky little pieces about the awful questions fielded by audience members, or folks trying to pass the director along a screenplay or simply blubbering "I love all your movies" in the starstruck awe. Yes, those things happen (often), but with good moderation from the programmer/host and an exceptional speaker, you could end up with something like this quarter hour with German director Werner Herzog. The second of two public screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival went down like gangbusters at the Elgin Theatre and most of the satisfied, quite entertained, audience stuck around to talk shop. Moderated by programmer Colin Geddes and with Herzog in high form - while most would say that Roger Ebert is 'fighting cancer, »

New ‘Rambo’ Film Gives Illegal Aliens A Pass, Targets Evil Canadians Instead
16 November 2009 3:01 AM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
A couple of months ago we reported that the plot for the upcoming Rambo sequel had taken on a sci-fi angle involving John Rambo hunting space aliens in the Pacific Northwest. The reaction here at Fsr was decidedly mixed with some of us thinking the idea was beyond ridiculous and others popping immediate chemically-enhanced boners. (Hi Fure!) Well you can forget we ever mentioned it in the first place. Sylvester Stallone has apparently dropped a line to Craig Zablo over at the Stallone Zone and he updated the direction Rambo V will be taking. He isn't abandoning the plot-line all together, but he's apparently moving it away from the Rambo franchise and into a separate stand-alone film. I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where »

No beast for Sylvester Stallone in 'Rambo V'
15 November 2009 7:03 PM, PST | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Sylvester Stallone seems to be unable to make up his mind where "Rambo V" should be heading. First, he was supposed to cross the U.S.-Mexican border, and then, he was supposed to hunt down a beast.
Not anymore. In fact, it looks like the fifth installment in the "Rambo" series is now going back to Mexico. As we learned earlier this year, the original idea had our hero cross the border to rescue a kidnapped girl.
In September, however, it was announced that Rambo and his partner Beau Brady would be heading to the Arctic Circle to track down a ruthless beast killing members of a research facility. »

Sylvester Stallone drops sci-fi angle for ‘Rambo V’
14 November 2009 12:53 PM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
Looks like Sylvester Stallone has terminated plans to take Rambo into science fiction.
The 63-year-old revealed this past summer that the next Rambo movie, A Savage Hunt, would feature John Rambo leading a squad into a secret military base to shut down a man-beast mutant “supersoldier” project gone wrong.
The sci-fi plot was based on the novel Hunter by James Byron Higgins. Stallone owns the rights to the book and now plans to use it as source material for another project.
“I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. ‘Rambo’ himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished. There will be blood,” Stallone wrote in an email.
Rambo heading to Mexico was the first rumored story for the film.

'Rambo' Follow-Up Changes Direction, Moves Away From 'Feral Beast' Sci-Fi Angle
13 November 2009 7:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Word emerged at the end of the summer that Sylvester Stallone was once again preparing to step into the shoes of John Rambo, a follow-up to his 2008 revival in "Rambo." While it's hard to find fault with the reasoning behind bringing Rambo back again -- he does, in fact, kick a large amount of ass -- the premise of this sequel, set at the time to start shooting in the spring of 2010, left myself and many other fans confused.
"Rambo V: The Savage Hunt," as originally revealed by Stallone in early September, would pit the aging Vietnam veteran against a "feral beast... [an] amalgamation of fury and intelligence and pure, unadulterated rage," the product of a failed government experiment. So basically... "Predator," but with a mutated super-soldier in place of an alien warrior. Not exactly the most "Rambo"-esque plotline. I, for one, was not pleased.
It's hard to say exactly »

Rambo 5 Loses Sci-Fi Twist
13 November 2009 6:17 AM, PST | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Deep down, I think we all knew it was too weird to be true. Sylvester Stallone had been talking a while back about how the fifth entry in the Rambo franchise would feature his character hunting down a genetically engineered monster. If ever there was a shark to be jumped or a fridge to be nuked, this was the grand-daddy of them all.
But now, Sylvester himself has notified the world of a slight change of plan. You’ve got to respect the guy for being extremely communicative with his fanbase in recent years. Here’s what he had to say:
I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished.

Rambo 5, Monsters 0

If you were amongst the people rendered giddy by the news a few weeks back that Sylvester Stallone was readying a fifth Rambo movie that would have him on a savage hunt in search of a genetically engineered predatory monster (story here), Stallone still intends to tackle that monster but no longer with the character of John Rambo.
Stallone contacted his fan site StalloneZone and relayed to them the following message regarding the new direction of Rambo V:
I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead. Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished.

No monsters for Rambo V

Looks like Rambo's next outing won't be a sci-fi flavoured smack down with a genetically modified killer after all. Nope, according to Sylvester Stallone, who got in touch with fan site StalloneZone, they're taking the character back to a plot that was rumoured long before the idea of Stallone's old warrior taking on a beast was ever mooted. "I’m letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead," Stallone writes. "Rambo...

So Just What Will Stallone's 'Rambo 5' be About?
12 November 2009 9:05 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
First it was a rescue mission with Mexican drug cartels as the bad guys, then it was fighting a beastly super-soldier in the pacific northwest—Sylvester Stallone's story for 'Rambo 5' has seen two storylines reported and then refuted/changed.
The latter of the two ideas, revealed by Stallone himself in early September, was to be called 'Rambo V: The Savage Hunt', and would have incorporated some science fiction elements as the legendary former Green Beret finds himself leading a Black Ops squad in a mission against engineered half-human super soldiers, one of whom has escaped. This idea was based on James Byron Huggins' "Hunter" novel that Stallone acquired ten years ago.
But now, it seems that Rambo battling the man/beast idea is being abandoned altogether, but may take shape with another protagonist as the hero.

'Rambo V: The Savage Hunt' Goes on Another Direction
12 November 2009 8:42 PM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
Sylvester Stallone has given an update about his upcoming film "Rambo V: The Savage Hunt". In his email to Craig Zablo's StalloneZone, the actor informs that the film has gone through some changes in the storyline as well as the character.
"I'm letting you know that Rambo has changed course and the story about hunting the man/beast will be done using another character in the lead," Stallone wrote. He then added, "Rambo himself will be heading over the border to a violent city where many young women have vanished."
Previously, Sylvester Stallone has released a plot synopsis for the upcoming "Rambo" film. The story is said to begin when the military desperately needs John Rambo for a mission that he cannot refuse. Teaming up with his 22-year-old hunting partner, Beau Brady, Rambo has to hunt down a beast that is loose somewhere north of the Artic Circle and heads south toward civilization. »

Rambo V Goes Hunting in a New Direction and Leaves His Previous Plotline to Someone Else
12 November 2009 7:10 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
As we reported last September, Sylvester Stallone was ready and able to take his aging Vietnam vet John Rambo out for another mission. The film would have Rambo fighting down some man-beast-abomination-type deal in a snowy terrain of some kind. Now it appears that Rambo will find other ways to pass the time in between playing bridge and trying to ward off osteoporosis. Hit the jump to see which group of people will be having a less-than-pleasant encounter with a man who will rain down their murder.
Explaining in an e-mail he wrote to StalloneZone (it’s like The Twilight Zone except you don’t adjust your channel because they’re having a 24-hour Over the Top marathon and it’s mesmerizing), Stallone said that while the man-beast-hunter thing was still happening, it wouldn’t be Rambo V but a movie with a different character and actor. But fear not! »

Sylvester Stallone Updates on Rambo 5, Saves Monster Plot for Unrelated Film
12 November 2009 5:15 PM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
No more monster, señor. Back in September, /Film connected the dots between the creature feature aspect of Sylvester Stallone's Rambo 5 and his rights to the sci-fi thriller novel, Hunter, by James Huggins. As one might expect, the idea of John Rambo tracking and being tracked by a genetically engineered "abomination" in snow country split fans like a coconut. As a premise, it fell in line with Stallone's previous statements about a new genre direction for the franchise, and the promo art above was even released to tease this aspect. Well, today the action legend confirmed that he's scrapped the idea for the sequel and reserved it for a separate film outside the franchise. So, where will Rambo go next, and more importantly, who as opposed to what will he bludgeon? In his words: "There will be blood." Stallone is rather savvy when it comes to listening to fans online »
