'Captain America: The Winter Soldier': Anthony Mackie eager for the Falcon to take wing

18 June 2013 6:00 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Anthony Mackie has covered a lot of ground during a 12-year Hollywood adventure, but now he’s ready for a new type of stardom — one that comes with an aerial view.

“Trust me, it’s a lot of fun to be a superhero,” the New Orleans native said of his ongoing work on Captain America: The Winter Soldier and his role as the high-flying Falcon. “All of it, everything that’s come together, it feels like a special moment.”

New Writer for Blade Runner Sequel

31 May 2013 2:32 PM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

When a Blade Runner sequel was announced, fans were happy to hear that Ridley Scott was returning to direct. Later, it was revealed that Blade Runner screenwriter Hampton Fancher would be writing the new script, but it has been announced that a new writer is being brought in to work on a rewrite.

“Los Angeles, CA, May 31, 2013—Writer Michael Green is in negotiations to do a rewrite of Alcon Entertainment’s “Blade Runner” sequel penned by Hampton Fancher (“Blade Runner,” “The Minus Man,” “The Mighty Quinn”) and to be directed by Ridley Scott. Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set some years after the first film concluded.

Alcon co-founders and co-Chief Executive Officers Broderick Johnson and Andrew Kosove will produce with Bud Yorkin and Cynthia Sikes Yorkin, along with Ridley Scott. Frank Giustra and Tim Gamble, CEO’s of Thunderbird Films, will serve as executive producers.

‘Blade Runner’ Sequel Moving Forward with Writer

31 May 2013 1:07 PM, PDT | Variety - Film News | See recent Variety - Film News news »

A sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner” is gaining momentum, with Michael Green in talks to rewrite the script from Hampton Fancher, who wrote the screenplay for the 1982 original.

Alcon Entertainment has been working on the project for over two years, since announcing in early 2011 that it had secured film, TV and ancillary franchise rights to produce prequels and sequels to the iconic thriller. In August 2011, Scott committed to direct.

Watch the New Trailer For ‘Ender’s Game’

Alcon has noted that Scott and his “Blade Runner” collaborator Fancher originally conceived of “Blade Runner” as the first in a series of films incorporating the themes and characters featured in Philip K. Dick’s novel “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?,” from which “Blade Runner” was adapted.

Fancher’s original story/screenplay is set several years after the first film concluded in a dystopian version of Los Angeles.

Box office preview: 'After Earth' ready to race 'Fast & Furious 6' for the top spot

30 May 2013 4:28 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

Hey box office nerds, I’m back! What have I missed? Oh, just the highest grossing Memorial Day weekend in history? Well, it’s not like I was irrationally excited about the Fast & Furious 6 vs. The Hangover Part III showdown or anything…

But the box office waits for no one. It’s a new weekend with new releases — namely, the Will/Jaden Smith adventure After Earth and the magician thriller Now You See Me — and the former has a shot at taking out Fast & Furious 6 as the number one movie in America. (Meanwhile, The Hangover Part III seems likely to »

5 Sci-Fi Books That Should Be Adapted: Any Philip K. Dick Novel

24 May 2013 4:36 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The Book: Any Philip K. Dick novel

Why it should be adapted:

This is the final installment of the “5 Sci-Fi books that should be adapted” column and I was a little bit stuck on what the last book should be. Call it an editorial writer’s block, if you will. Now, some of you might consider this to be lazy or uncreative, but I stand by this choice. If you were to list some of the best Science Fiction that’s ever been written, some of Philip K.Dick’s novels would likely show up a time or two, at the very least.

It isn’t unprecedented for a Dick novel to be adapted for a movie. Some of the more popular movies that have been a Philip K. Dick novel are  Total RecallMinority ReportBlade Runner, and The Adjustment Bureau. These are just a small handful of movies »

16 April 2013 7:18 PM, PDT | FlicksNews.net | See recent FlicksNews.net news »

9 April 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Warner Bros. has released the first TV spot for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel. Unfortunately, there's not really any new footage, just a couple of very quick shots. Just a shorter version of the trailer we've already seen. But one day we will get a new trailer that does show some new footage, and hopefully it will blow us away! They need to stop holding back and unleash the Superman fury! The studio also released a new synopsis which you can read below the trailer.

Man of Steel will be released in theaters on June 14th, 2013. I really hope it lives up to the hype that we've been hearing.

Matt Damon: man of the people

Nobody does the everyman better than Matt Damon. His common touch has made him one of the world's most bankable stars. He tells Tim Lewis about offending Barack Obama, his love for Ben Affleck and marrying outside the Hollywood elite

I got all the bonds baby

'Ain't Got You' – Bruce Springsteen

In 1987, when Bruce Springsteen wrote the song "Ain't Got You", he was the biggest rock star in the world. He had vast estates in New Jersey and Beverly Hills, and he had not long returned from a honeymoon at Gianni Versace's villa in Lake Como. "Ain't Got You" was Springsteen's attempt to make a self-aware nod to his outrageous fortune, the Rembrandts on his walls, and how he had come a long way from his working-class upbringing.

Mad Men's John Slattery: 'Roger is looking for something. He isn't ready to give up yet'

8 April 2013 1:52 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

The actor reveals the secrets of that notorious vomit scene, why he's fascinated by Pete Campbell – and his love of surfing

The sun is shining on a spring afternoon in Venice Beach. Salty Pacific air sharpens the breeze. Roger Sterling, senior partner of Madison Avenue's top advertising agency Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, rolls up to the cafe on his push bike, silver hair gleaming, posture ramrod straight. For once, he is not wearing a three-piece suit.

That is because he is not actually account executive Roger Sterling, rascally quipster and LSD enthusiast. He is John Slattery, the actor who has made dapper, unflappable Roger the most beloved character of Mad Men's five seasons, with his droll zingers and talent for saying the perfectly wrong things at the perfectly right times. Even in his civvies (windbreaker, plaid shirt, Ray-Bans), Slattery passes as preppy, weekend Roger. Nantucket Roger. It's that distinctive silver hair, »

In Trance, The Crime (And Confusion) Are In The Mind

2 April 2013 9:00 PM, PDT | Village Voice | See recent Village Voice news »

The payoff for solving puzzle films is a collaborative rush—in working out the filmmakers' jigsaws, viewers are invited into the moviemaking process. Look at the uber-combative message boards about Primer, or brave the theorizing of Room 237, the docu-analysis of The Shining. One sub-genre of puzzle films—the studio-backed head-scratcher—doesn't see additions all that frequently, as bottom-line minded execs surely view the multiplex as a respite from intellectual workouts, not another forum for them.

Nevertheless, the mounds of cash Inception raked in have mattered—recently we've had The Adjustment Bureau, Looper, and now Danny Boyle's Trance cooking our noodles al dente. Trance, which belongs alo »

The Sixth Gun pilot cast comes together

21 March 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

After the hugely successful television adaptation of The Walking Dead, studios are now on the lookout for the next big comic book that they can bring to the small screen. The latest one making the leap is The Sixth Gun created by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt and released through Oni Press. First released on “Free Comic Book” day in 2010, it has, over the years gathered a following due to its supernatural and western themed storyline.

The story revolves around six magical guns that cannot be taken from their owner until death, and the problems that arise from this and what happens if someone were to possess all six of them.

After a fruitless attempt by the SyFy Channel to adapt the comic in 2011, NBC has now acquired the rights and is in the process of creating a pilot for the show, with Carlton Cuse, the producer of Lost, attached »

10 Awful Movie Couples Who Have No Chemistry

18 March 2013 7:13 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Even more so than a good script and firm direction, chemistry is the most important thing in a movie romance; without it, audiences will be left unconvinced that they should even care about the love story unfolding on screen, and it can result in some extremely awkward cinematic moments.

Plenty of sub-standard rom-coms have survived on the basis of their chemistry, and in many cases – see: The Adjustment Bureau – the sizzling frisson between the two stars has elevated an otherwise pretty flat film.

However, sometimes Hollywood, so unwaveringly confident in the box office bankability of its leads, forgets to screen-test them together or even begins to entertain the thought that, you know, they might not be all that well suited.

Whether it’s down to the casting department or the simple fact that these actors simply weren’t attracted to each other in real life, the result is the same – a stale, »

Box Office: 'Jack the Giant Slayer' Bombs; Is Fairy-Tale Movie Boom Over?

3 March 2013 11:21 AM, PST | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

"Jack the Giant Slayer" may have easily won this weekend's box-office race with an estimated $28 million, but its victory over a weak field of new releases and moldy holdovers may not be worth a hill of magic beans. For one thing, the movie cost nearly $200 million to make, so $28 million is a pretty weak opening. (Many pundits are comparing it to "John Carter," the expensive sci-fi fantasy flop that opened a year ago at this time, eked out a $30.2 million debut, and petered out at $73.1 million.) Plus, "Jack" faces the opening of the similar "Oz the Great and Powerful" next weekend, which will probably cut short the possibility that "Jack" can earn its keep over the long haul. Industry observers seemed to have their knives sharpened for "Jack," which was initially due in theaters last summer but was held back, ostensibly to tweak its special effects and 3D visuals. That »

5 Things We Learned About the Unconventional Assembling of 'House of Cards' From Media Rights Capital's Modi Wiczyk

14 February 2013 1:31 PM, PST | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »

"House of Cards," the Netflix original political drama from David Fincher, Kevin Spacey and Beau Willimon that launched exclusively on the site on February 1st, has been an fascinating experiment both in terms of storytelling and as a business venture. It's a show that, in accordance with our DVRing/streaming habits, was released all at once and seems like it was made with that mode of consumption in mind, its episodes feeling more part of a 13-hour whole than single serve installments. And it's one that, like the cable series to which it is intended to be compared, feels very much defined by the vision of its creators, particularly the chilly, beautiful visual style set in the first two episodes, which were directed by Fincher himself.
