Bullet to the Head is the latest film to star ass-kicking pensioner Sylvester Stallone. He plays Jimmy Bobo (really), a hitman with morals – don’t they all – who gets himself in a right old tiswas after his partner is killed by Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian’s Jason Momoa after a routine job. Tech-savvy (ie, smartphone-owning cop) Taylor Kwon looks into the murder Bobo committed and decides to team up with the crim in order to find out who’s really behind all the killing and intrigue and why. Kwon is played by Sung Kang who has starred in a number of Fast and Furious films and was cast as Thomas Jane was not ‘ethnic’ enough.

'Seduced and Abandoned' (2013) Movie Review - Cannes Film Festival
19 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »
You don't get points for the good movie no one went to see. Pretend for a moment you have an endless amount of money to make any movie you want. What would it be? An action film? Romance? Comedy? Who would direct? Who would star? Pretend I came to you with a film directed by James Toback (Tyson) starring Alec Baldwin and Neve Campbell in something of a politically-inspired erotic Middle Eastern adventure inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris in which there's the promise of exploratory sex. How much would you be willing to pay to help fund that film? Better yet, what would it take to get you to fund that film? While navigating the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Toback and Baldwin took such an idea to a variety of investors, both foreign and domestic to get the proposed film off the ground, while also taking a »

Who’s Joining Marvel’s Phase Three? Ant-Man, Inhumans, Doctor Strange And More
18 May 2013 1:48 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
You can’t say that Marvel doesn’t like to plan. Their mission to dominate our cinema screens and break box office records is showing no signs of stopping. The world which started back in 2008 with Iron Man, has gone on to make billions of dollars and ensure that Robert Downey Jr. has six yachts. With Ant-Man leading the charge for the third stage of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, it turns out there’s more tricks up the studio’s sleeve.
With Iron Man 3 kicking off Phase Two of their cinematic universe with a resounding wallop and ka-ching! – the remaining projects have got some big clanky boots to fill. Next up is Thor: The Dark World, followed by Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Guardians Of The Galaxy and closing out the middle chapter is the glue that binds them together: The Avengers 2.
That brings us to Summer 2015. Where next, »

Phase Three: Will Doctor Strange & Hulk Get Solo Movies Before ‘Avengers 3′?
6 May 2013 11:10 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
It was nearly three years ago when we learned that Thomas Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer (Conan the Barbarian) had been hired to draft a screenplay for a live-action Doctor Strange feature film. The following summer they had reportedly turned in a draft for Marvel Studios to begin searching for a director to oversee the project’s development.
With the focus at the time being on Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor, both setting up for The Avengers the year after, Doctor Strange fell off the radar until recently when Marvel Studios President of Production Kevin Feige namedropped the neurosurgeon alongside Ant-Man as Phase Three films coming after The Avengers 2.
The untitled Avengers sequel marks the end of Phase Two in May 2015 but later that year, Edgar Wright’s Ant-Man launches Phase Three. Ant-Man is the only Phase Three movie (so far) with an official release date though ...

The 9 Most Jacked Dudes in Hollywood
24 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Most of us understand that as we age, it's important to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Go for a jog (or a "yog" if you're Ron Burgundy) once in a while. Maybe opt for a salad sometimes instead of a few slices of pizza. If you work at a desk, perhaps you make sure you walk around your office for five minutes every hour. Feel that burn.
Then there are others who take that notion to extreme lengths, who hear "maintain a healthy and active lifestyle" and think "lift enough weights every day of my life to tear a horse in half with my bare hands and have a laughing fit in its blood."
That last part may have been an exaggeration (though for some reason I can especially see Vin Diesel laughing maniacally in horse blood), but the following nine Hollywood actors would probably tell you that, yes, »

Liam McIntyre Joins Harlin's Hercules
22 April 2013 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Levelling up from slave to soldier, Spartacus: War Of The Damned star Liam McIntyre has just joined the cast of Renny Harlin's Hercules. By all accounts he'll be playing an important sidekick of Kellan Lutz's demigod. Harlin's is the Nu Image / Millennium version of the story, not to be confused with Brett Ratner's Paramount / MGM take that's also on its way to production, starring Dwayne Johnson ("I'm Hercules." "I'm Hercules."). Harlin has previously said that his is a more historically grounded story, as opposed to Ratner's comic book shenanigans.McIntyre, Harlin says, is playing "military commander Soltiris, Hercules' best friend. Their relationship begins antagonistic but develops into a close bond forged in battle. Liam is infinitely entertaining to watch. We're lucky to have him."Les Welden and Danny Lerner are producing, with Avi Lerner among the executive producers. The screenplay is by Steve Giulio and Sean Hood »
Rumor: Marvel Eyes Justin Theroux To Play 'Doctor Strange'
17 April 2013 7:45 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
So, what do we know about the long-rumored, long-developing "Doctor Strange" movie. Well, it has been confirmed as part of Marvel's Phase Three plans along with "Ant-Man," but that's about it. But if these latest rumors are to be believed (and as always take with a bit of a grain of salt), the comic studio may be starting to feel out leading men. According to sources speaking to Chud, actor/screenwriter Justin Theroux is being eyed for the part, though he could be one of a handful (or this could be completely erroneous). While it might seem mega early to cast the part, one wonders if they are looking to tease the character in an upcoming post-credits Marvel movie sequence or perhaps in the forthcoming "Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D." At any rate, Theroux does have some history with the comics giant, having penned "Iron Man 2." Marvel »

Blu-ray & DVD Release Date: May 14, 2013
Price: DVD $19.98, Blu-ray $26.98
Studio: Universal Studios Home Entertainment
Comedy movie Frankie Go Boom proves one thing: Ron Perlman (Conan the Barbarian) does not make an attractive woman.
Written and directed by Jordan Roberts (Around the Bend), the film tells the story of Frankie (Charlie Hunnam, TV’s Sons of Anarchy), who has been tortured and humiliated by his brother Bruce (Chris O’Dowd, This is 40) his entire life by posting videos of Frankie online. Finally Bruce goes too far, uploading a video of a disastrous one-night stand with the inebriated daughter (Lizzy Caplan, Bachelorette) of a loose-cannon ex-movie star. To try to undo the damage, the brothers enlist the help of Bruce’s transsexual computer hacking friend (Perlman).
Chris Noth (Sex and the City 2) also stars in Frankie Go Boom, which got so-so reviews from critics. MSN Movies critic Kathleen Murphy said, “Though deliciously rude and crude, »

The Ten Best – Mma fighters turned actors
8 April 2013 4:17 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
The blokes who flex their muscles in Ultimate Fighting Championship and mixed martial arts events are mostly a larger-than-life blend of showmanship and brawn – which explains why they’re increasingly being snapped up by Hollywood. With more and more Mma fighters moving into the movies, I thought I’d take a look at some of the biggest names to have made the crossover.
Winner of numerous Mma trophies around the globe, Schiena flexed his acting chops in Locked Down as a framed cop who winds up in jail and is forced into cage fighting by none other than Brit hardman turned thesp Vinnie Jones. Schiena retired from sport after breaking both his ankles (ouch!) but has since found his feet on the big screen working with everyone from Pacino to Van Damme.

Hercules 3D Will Star Twilight Actor Kellan Lutz
6 April 2013 4:27 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Currently, Hollywood has two Hercules projects in the works. The first is simply titled Hercules and will be directed by Brett Ratner. Dwayne Johnson will headline the film and he will be supported by Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes and John Hurt. Then there’s Hercules 3D, coming to us from Renny Harlin.
Up until now, there hadn’t been any news on casting for the film but this week, Heat Vision is reporting that Kellan Lutz of Twilight fame (he played Emmett Cullen), has been cast in the titular role.
“It takes more than a good physique to portray the most legendary, mythological personality in history — and Kellan has exactly that, personality. He’s not afraid to explore the strengths and vulnerabilities of the character, and he impressed me with his passion and heart,” said Harlin.
The film, which is being scripted by Harlin, Sean Hood (Conan The Barbarian (2011)) and Giulio Steve, »

Geek Gossip: Jurassic Park 4 gets surprising director, Dave Bautista wrestles role of Drax in Marvel's Guardians
20 March 2013 9:23 AM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
There has been surprise and something of a mixed reaction online at the news that Colin Trevorrow is to direct Jurassic Park 4.
Frank Marshall, who will produce the movie alongside Steven Spielberg, announced on Twitter that he was "thrilled to have...an exciting young filmmaker who understands and respects the world that is Jurassic Park."
Trevorrow (above) made his feature film debut in 2012 with comedy drama Safety Not Guaranteed, which has won five awards.
It might seem a monster leap to Jurassic Park's prehistoric carnage but Safety Not Guaranteed did have sci-fi elements of time travel as a plot device.
While some think Trevorrow will bring something new and different to re-energise the dinosaur franchise, others feel it's an odd choice and a big risk not to go for someone with sci-fi blockbuster experience.
But with Spielberg still on board as an executive producer, there shouldn't be too much cause for concern. »

WWE Wrestler Dave Bautista Cast in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
14 March 2013 6:39 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
WWE wrestler Dave Bautista (The Man With the Iron Fists, Riddick) has signed on to play Drax the Destroyer in Marvel's upcoming "Guardians of the Galaxy" film, which will be directed by James Gunn (Super, Slither). Bautista was one of many actors who tested for the role, including Isaiah Mustafa, Patrick Wade and Jason Momoa (Conan the Barbarian). Last month, Latino-Review said that Momoa was offered the role, making it yet another story that site got wrong. "Guardians of the Galaxy" centers on Peter Quill/Star-Lord (Chris Pratt), a Us pilot who ends up in space in the middle of a universal conflict and goes on the run with futuristic ex-cons who have something everyone want. Drax is a human resurrected as a green warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos (the villain in the final-scene of "The Avengers"). His powers include flight, super-strength and energy blasts. »
Former Wrestler Dave Bautista is Drax in 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
14 March 2013 4:52 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Since The Avengers decimated the box office last summer, Marvel Studios has been busy putting together plans for Phase II of their film adaptations. By far the most intriguing title on their upcoming slate is Guardians of the Galaxy, directed by Super and Slither helmer James Gunn, and though that movie is already set for an August 1st, 2014 release date, we haven't heard too many details about it yet. Chris Pratt ("Parks and Recreation, Zero Dark Thirty) landed the lead role of Peter Quill (aka Star-Lord), and now THR confirms former WWE wrestler Dave Bautista has made a deal to play Drax the Destroyer. More below! Pratt's casting was totally out of left field since he hadn't been mentioned in any of the previous reports leading up to the final decision, but the same can't be said for Bautista.

Jason Momoa Out, Dave Bautista In For 'Guardians of the Galaxy'
14 March 2013 4:43 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Update: Mixed martial artist and former WWE star Dave Bautista has signed on to play the role of Drax the Destroyer in "Guardians of the Galaxy," according to Heat Vision.
The part was reported in February to have gone to "Game of Thrones" alum and "Conan the Barbarian" star Jason Momoa, who was apparently only one of several contenders for the role, including Isaiah Mustafa and Patrick Wade.
Dave Bautista is best known for his time with World Wrestling Entertainment, during which he battled under the ring name "Batista." He recently appeared in "The Scorpion King 3: Battle For Redemption" and RZA's "The Man with the Iron Fists" and will be seen later this year in "Riddick," opening Sept. 6.

Former WWE Wrestler Dave Bautista Is Drax In Marvel's 'Guardians Of The Galaxy'
14 March 2013 4:12 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
You need a big man to play a big superhuman character. And while Marvel Studios reportedly flirted with "Conan The Barbarian"/"Game Of Thrones" star Jason Momoa, the role has gone to someone else. THR reports that WWE wrestler Dave Bautista has closed his deal to play Drax The Destroyer in their upcoming adaptation of "Guardians Of The Galaxy." Other actors up for the role apparently included Isaiah Mustafa and Patrick Wade. According to the comics, Drax started out as Arthur Douglas, a regular old human whose family was attacked and killed by the supervillain Thanos (the big guy at the end of "The Avengers," which leads many to believe "Guardians Of The Galaxy" will lead into the Joss Whedon's 2015 sequel). Needing a champion to combat Thanos, the being known as Kronos took Arthur's spirit and placed it in a powerful new body, and Drax the Destroyer was born. »
