Greg Berlanti, a veteran TV writer and producer for Dawson’S Creek, Everwood, Brothers & Sisters, Eli Stone, No Ordinary Family, Political Animals and Arrow, is moving into film. While he’s written for the big screen before (see, or don’t see Wrath Of The Titans and Green Lantern), he’s getting a chance to direct this time around with Epsilon.
Epsilon is a sci-fi film from the creators of Zombieland, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, that has been picked up by Sony and will be produced by Michael DeLuca. Here’s the synopsis:
“Epsilon is set after a failed robot rebellion on an Earth almost entirely devoid of electronic devices. The remaining robots seek refuge on a space station and begin to raise their own human lab rats, which they train to act as their agents. The main character is a man who discovers he is more human than he thought. »

The robots won’t stop trying to destroy us! Dreamworks and Steven Spielberg’s robot uprising flick “Robopocalypse” has been indeterminately stalled, so Sony is trying to pick up the slack. The studio has assigned Greg Berlanti to direct their own robot uprising movie “Epsilon”. Written by “Zombieland” guys Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, plot for “Epsilon” goes thusly: Story is set after a failed robot rebellion sends Earth back to the analog age. Seeking refuge on a space station, a few robots escape to raise their own human lab rats as obedient warriors to pave the way for retaliation. Epsilon stands amongst them until he begins to question all he was led to believe. Berlanti is mostly a TV guy, but previously wrote “Green Lantern” and “The Flash” movies, and also had a hand in the script for “Wrath of the Titans”. Okay, so nothing extraordinary about his work so far, »

Though the work of Greg Berlanti has mostly been isolated to executive producing and writing TV series like "No Ordinary Family," "Everwood," "Brothers & Sisters" and the comic book adaptation "Arrow," he also had a hand in the script for Green Lantern. While that might not necessarily inspire a lot of confidence, Berlanti is sticking in the realm of science fiction for his sophomore directing effort. The project is called Epsilon, and the Sony Pictures production is quite the departure from Berlanti's feature film directorial debut, the subpar romantic comedy Life as We Know It with Katherine Heigl and Josh Duhamel. Read on! The film from Zombieland writers Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick is set after a failed robot rebellion on an Earth almost entirely devoid of electronic devices. But rather than focusing on the humans, the story follows the remaining robots as they seek refuge on a space station and »

Sony Pictures is developing a sci-fi robot film called Epsilon, and they've hired Green Lantern and Arrow writer Greg Berlanti to direct it. The movie is currently being scripted by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, who wrote Zombieland, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and the unproduced Deadpool movie.
The story for the film "is set after a failed robot rebellion sends Earth back to the analog age. Seeking refuge on a space station, a few robots escape to raise their own human lab rats as obedient warriors to pave the way for retaliation. Epsilon stands amongst them until he begins to question all he was led to believe."
It sounds like an interesting concept, hopefully they can pull it off and turn it into a great movie. Robot movies are about to blow up after Guillermo del Toro's Pacific Rim hits theaters. We've already got a few other robot movies in »

One of the staples of the Los Angeles Film Festival is the festival’s Coffee Talk series which bring together top names in the industry to discuss their craft and offer inside insights on what it is like to be a working director, screenwriter, actor, or composer. This year’s “Coffee Talks: Composers” panel featured The Social Network and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo composer, Atticus Ross, John Dies at the End and Iron Man 3 composer, Brian Tyler, and Zombieland and End of Watch composer, David Sardy. It was an interesting panel with Tyler and Sardy sharing the experience of composing for big budget films while Ross had avoided some of those studio pressures to pave his own way through the industry. All three have different backgrounds with Ross coming from a band member’s perspective, Sardy a music producer’s perspective, and Tyler from an indie film into big blockbuster perspective, making »

"Deadpool" has been in development hell for a while now. After years of work, only three minutes of test footage have been shot. But they're three awesome minutes, according to screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick. While that sequence has yet to be revealed, Deadpool creator and comic book artist Rob Liefeld acted out the sequence during a panel at the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Convention. The artist went into great detail, describing the sequence's action bits and joke moments with his trademark enthusiasm.
Liefeld seems to be pleased with the test footage, as he reassured the audience that, "this is not 'Wolverine: Origins.' This is Deadpool." He's of course referencing the barely recognizable version of Wade Wilson portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," a film that will most likely be ignored should "Deadpool" ever get off the ground.

We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
While turning the apocalypse into a party, the new comedy from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg This Is the End is a celebrity-filled powwow that embraces the value of a cameo, giving its extensive guest list a chance to appear as goofier versions of themselves. With some of the movie’s best jokes coming from its surprise impressions (Michael Cera and his windbreaker are doomsday stealers), it’s time to celebrate the wall-breaking comedy that is a self cameo.
The rules for this specific list are that the comedic cameo must feature the star playing themselves. Such appearances are not considered for being the funniest, but the best overall. These are the appearances that go beyond simply making a film experience feel more like it’s in our reality (as opposed to Movie World), instead providing something special to the film and/or »

E! calls it reality TV, but recently the meta aspect of visual storytelling, which is seen perhaps most often in the likes of Extras, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and pretty much any show named after the protagonist, are becoming especially prominent on the big screen. When you have James Franco, Seth Rogan and Emma Watson playing (supposedly) exaggerated versions of themselves, it’s meta, even more so if you throw in an apocalypse, as has been done in This Is The End. Here’s our rundown of our favourite films to have blurred the line between reality and fiction.
Atonement
Atonement is based on a novel, which revolves around a story, in which a story is being written. Of course, although the foolish protagonist is seen inventing and writing stories from from the very beginning of the film, the greatest meta moment is when the true meaning of the atonement is revealed. »

From Being John Malkovich to Curb Your Enthusiasm and The Trip, actors increasingly find it liberating, even therapeutic, to play a version of themselves. This is the End is the latest film to mess around with movie star personas
The new comedy This is the End is less notable for its vision of Hollywood hit by the apocalypse than for the conceit of having its entire cast play themselves. It turns out that Jonah Hill is a prissy buffoon given to harping on about his Oscar nomination. Sweet, gentle Michael Cera is in fact a leering, cocaine-snorting lout who has toilet-stall threesomes with anyone who will oblige. Seth Rogen likes weed. And who on earth would have suspected that James Franco is gay?
Only the most credulous audience members will believe that the cast of This is the End are doing anything except performing, but there is still the tantalising »

We're all aware that many people in Hollywood share an uncanny resemblance. We're not about to rattle off some tired list of celebrity twins. Instead, we take things up a notch with Hollywood Doppelgänger Math, a new series from GeekTyrant that is sure to change the way you look at actors and the roles they play. To make the cut, a person has to look like the sum of at least two other people. For this first collection, we focused on equations that resulted in young and/or up-and-coming actors. We have also included a list of other connections the actors share.
All three have played secondary love interests in popular sitcoms; Amy Adams in The Office, Alison Brie in Community, and Alexandra Daddario in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Both Adams and Brie have played sisters to characters portrayed by Emily Blunt; Adams in Sunshine Cleaners and Brie in The Five-Year Engagement. »

'Stoker' star Mia Wasikowska -below is currently in negotiations to replace cutie Emma Stone ('Zombieland') in Guillermo del Toro's new haunted house project 'Crimson Peak'. The new 'traditional' ghost story from the 'Pacific Rim' filmmaker was co-penned by Matthew Robbins and Lucinda Coxon and is set to star Charlie Hunnam ('Sons of Anarchy'), Benedict Cumberbatch ('Star Trek into Darkness') and the gorgeous Jessica Chastain -below ('Zero Dark Thirty', 'Mama'). As sad as it was to see Stone drop out of the project due to scheduling conflicts we think Wasikowska is still a superb replacement. Although she too has a number of upcoming projects lined up so the details still have ot be ironed out to ensure she can make herself available. »
