Secret Alien Secrets

Apparently, and I don’t know how much weight to put on this, the Alien prequel script has leaked. I actually haven’t read the synopsis or followed the link to the more detailed article, but I’ve linked to both below. I Read more…


Apparently, Bryan DOES Know Jack.

So Bryan Singer is going to get all dark with Jack and the Beanstalk. Sign me up. I’m on board. And Christopher McQuarrie has done a draft of the script. I told you, I’m sold. The synopsis reads: A princess Read more…


Rally for Hope! or Bilbo! or Something . . .

Oh, wait, maybe the Hobbit will be filmed in New Zealand! Somebody, please, make a decision. Frankly, it sounded a lot like sour grapes when Peter Jackson said he was moving production out of New Zealand. Sure, there are contract Read more…


Flaming Heads Don’t Come Cheap

Y’know, I still haven’t seen the movie Ghost Rider with Nicholas Cage. It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching Mr. Cage chew the scenery, because that can be downright fun sometimes. It’s not that I didn’t want to watch Eva Read more…

Motivations and Dimensionalizations

So it seems things may be on track for the Hobbit to get back on . . . track. Erm, anyway, financing seems to have been sorted—at the moment—and Peter Jackson may have figured out a way to not piss Read more…


Dismissing First Class?

I haven’t really mentioned anything about X-Men: First Class. The thing is in filming right now with Matthew Vaughan (he of Layer Cake and Stardust—and Kick-Ass, though I have not seen that) directing. It’s about the beginnings of the X-Men, Read more…


He Moosed My Childhood!

You must have all heard by now: George Lucas is going back to the well yet again. This time, he intends to re-release all six Star Wars movies . . . in 3-D! Dimensionalize those mothers! I can’t say that Read more…
