Hopkins Joins Epic Mob Biopic ‘Gotti’
20 May 2013 2:32 PM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson was previously attached to the fact-based gangster thriller based on the life of John Gotti and his ‘family’. However, Jurassic Park 3 and Captain America’s Joe Johnston’s was recently installed as the new helmer.
Real-life couple John Travolta and Kelly Preston have been attached to the project from pretty much day one, with Al Pacino, Joe Pesci, Lindsay Lohan, Ben Foster and Chazz Palminteri also set to co-star. Whether or not those names are still interested (well, Pesci has a lawsuit pending against to producers so you can rule him out) following Levinson’s departure remains to be seen but we can at least confirm Anthony Hopkins has joined the cast in the murderous story told from the point-of-view of the late mafia Don’s son. The Academy Award-winning actor has previously worked with Johnston on Universal’s remake of The Wolfman.

Joe Johnston To Direct Gotti Biopic With John Travolta
8 May 2013 3:27 AM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Joe Johnston, director of Captain America: The First Avenger, has signed up to direct the long-time-coming mobster biopic, Gotti. For the last two years, the film has been kicking around with everyone bar the Queen attached to star. Gotti once had Barry Levinson confirmed as director, Al Pacino as a crime boss, Joe Pesci as a ruthless gangster, Kelly Preston and…gulp, Lindsay Lohan as Gotti Jr’s wife. There’s no word on whether any of these supporting cast announcements still stand, but we do know that John Travolta will still star.
The film is based on a story by Gotti’s son, John A. Gotti, with a screenplay penned by Leo Rossi. No stranger to the mob, Rossi previously wrote 2004′s Mafioso: The Father, The Son. This will be the first time Johnston grapples with a mafia flick, stepping away from his usual genre fare. Previous efforts of his include Jurassic Park III, »

Joe Johnston Takes On Gotti
7 May 2013 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Proving that you can't keep a good gangster down, after years of struggle Gotti finally has a director. Joe Johnston (The Wolfman, Captain America) has just signed to fill the director's chair vacated first by Nick Cassavetes and subsequently by Barry Levinson. John Travolta, who's been with the project from early on, remains incumbent as the "Dapper Don" John Gotti Sr.Previously known as Gotti: Three Generations, the film revolves around the Gambini Family mobster convicted in 1992 of murder, extortion, racketeering, loan-sharking, illegal gambling and, just like Al Capone, tax evasion. The all-round goodfella died in prison in 2002.Previous reports suggest that his story will be viewed from the point-of-view of his son John Jr (yet to be cast) who himself wasn't unknown to the law. He served a nine-year sentence for racketeering, but is now on the straight-and-narrow. He gets the film's story credit, while the screenplay has been »
Gears Of War Movie Moves Forward with New Producer
29 April 2013 4:25 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Scott Stuber has signed on to produce the big screen adaptation of the hit video game franchise Gears of War. The movie is one step closer to actually becoming a reality. As of right now, there's no writer, director or any other talent attached to the project. However, Stuber will start developing the story with the video game's developer Epic Games. The film isn't set up at any studio yet either, but the producer has a first look deal with Universal Pictures.
The project was previously set up at New Line Cinema with a script written by Stuart Beattie, and Len Wiseman (Total Recall) was set to direct it. Due to creative differences with Epic Games, the movie ended up not going into production.
Epic Games wants to keep an eye on the movie as it goes forward, making sure that the story stays in line with the mythology that »

Gears of War Movie Gets New Producer
29 April 2013 4:07 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »
We’ve heard about the possibility of a Gears of War movie since the first game was released, but previous attempts to get it on the big screen have fallen through. It’s now being reported that a new producer is on board and will be helping move this project forward.
According to Variety, Scott Stuber will not only be involved as a producer, but will also help develop the script with Epic Games. Stuber has been involved in a number of high profile projects at Universal, including The Wolfman, Ted, Safe House, and Battleship. The plan is to begin shopping the project to studios shortly, and Universal will definitely be among them.
Previously, New Line was going to make the movie with Underworld‘s Len Wiseman, but it fell through due to differences over the creative direction of the project. The first Gears of War game was released back »

Child's Play - A Look Back at Long Lost Kid Friendly Horror TV Shows!
4 April 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
A lot of people ask me, "Creepy, how did you first come to love horror movies so much?" Well, growing up in the Seventies, there was plenty to go around. There were TV classics like Gargoyles, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, and any number of TV Movies of the Week, and there was also...
There was also a ton of weird and quirky bits of monster-themed kids programming. Usually "The Munsters" and "The Land of the Lost" get all the love, and rightly so. They're absolute classics. That being said, we're gonna talk about some other things here. Things you may not have known even existed. For instance, were you aware that way before Venkmen, Spengler, Stantz and Zeddmore there was a whole other set of Ghostbusters? How about a different Monster Squad? Got your attention? Good. Sit back, relax, and get ready to soak up some lunacy as we revisit. »

14 February 2013 9:00 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Insurge (the low-budget part of Paramount) have picked up mysterious indie sci-fi project Equinox, and the only thing they’re giving us currently is that it’s Dead Calm…in space. The 1989 movie was a claustrophobic thriller, set on a boat and starred Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill and Billy Zane with every sound, creak and silence building the tension and if you haven’t seen it, do check it out.
Meanwhile, Equinox is being written by Adam Mason and Simon Boyes, who currently have thriller Not Safe For Work out sometime in 2013 and it’s being directed by Joe Johnston who was behind the chair for the likes of Honey I Shrunk The Kids, Captain America: The First Avenger and The Wolfman.

Boba Fett & Young Han Solo Star Wars Spin-Offs Coming 2016?
7 February 2013 12:31 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Entertainment Weekly reports that a Boba Fett movie and a spin-off involving a young Han Solo will be the focus of the two Star Wars stand-alone spin-offs that Walt Disney Pictures confirmed were happening on Tuesday.
The Boba Fett movie will be set between the events of A New Hope and The Empire Strike Back and would follow the intergalactic bounty hunter, probably (and this is speculation on our part) on a mission for Jabba The Hutt.
The Han Solo movie takes place in the time between the prequel trilogy and the original trilogy and will require a brand new actor to step into the shoes of the loveable renegade pilot. It may or may not be based on an early Star Wars novel, 1979′s “Han Solo at Star’s End,” set two years before the events of the 1977 film.

Romanek Leaves ‘Cinderella’ At The Ball
8 January 2013 1:08 PM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director Mark Romanek has departed Disney’s live-action re-imamgining of fairytale Cinderella, citing the ever-familar ‘creative differences’. The family fantasy has Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett attached to play the ‘belle of the ball’s wicked stepmother but it appears Romanek’s vision is little too dark for House of Mouse head-honchos.
Romanek, who’s directed superb foreboding features One Hour Photo and Never Let Me Go, is no stranger to leaving projects if things are not going in his direction or favour. He (in)famously left the Benicio Del Toro-led horror remake, The Wolfman, only days before shooting was due to begin. Joe Johnson was drafted in as a replacement at the eleventh hour.
Thankfully for Disney, the film is still months away from pre-production with no other casting in place leaving them plenty of time to fill the void. No word yet if Blanchett is willing to stay and work with another filmmaker. »

Marcus Crassus Prepares To Battle Spartacus for Starz
8 January 2013 11:53 AM, PST | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
Beware, Spartacus, for blood and danger awa
it you, now more than ever before. There’s a new villain headed to final season of Spartacus, premiering Friday, Jan. 25 at 9/8c on Starz, and our hero won’t be able to avoid him for long.
TV Guide explained that Spartacus, played by Liam McIntyre, “may have amassed 30,000 bloodthirsty followers”, but victory is never guaranteed. They will have to cross an army equal to the task led by newcomer Marcus Crassus, acted by Simon Merrells.
So, what’s so nasty about this particular foe? Well, Crassus isn’t your average bear. sources are calling him creative, sly, and political enough that sme very powerful people have him back. Case in point, Julius Caesar, acted by Todd Lasance, is a comrade with which he’ll pool his resources against Spartacus. This is especially important. Crassus is quite the fighter, as you can see in the cool photo above. »
