Scope the international release dates for The Wolverine!

I don't know if this is the start of a greater trend or merely a intriguing cohesion of timing, but hot on the heels of Warner Bros.' release of their international dates for MAN OF STEEL comes the listing of dates for Fox's THE WOLVERINE.  Of course, we've always known international release dates for movies as big as these two well in advance, but to have them publicized so...

The first Jack Reacher reviews are in - and the verdict is...

JACK REACHER is coming to a movie theatre near you in just a few short weeks, and if the advance reviews collected below are any indication? There is every chance that JACK REACHER will be more than a one shot and expand into a brand new franchise for star Tom Cruise despite the initial controversy surrounding writer/director Christopher McQuarrie's decision to pick him to play the...

Watch Tom Cruise kick all forms of ass in new clip, TV spots, and international trailer for Jack Reacher

You know, there's something about Tom Cruise 's ferocity that I really dig.  In the fight scenes he's done thus far in his career, mostly from the MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE franchise, he's got an air of intensity that comes off as more genuine than choreographed.  Perhaps he's channeling the anger from the constant tabloid bullshit and attacks on his personal life or maybe he's making up for his...

New featurette for Tom Cruise's Jack Reacher provides insight from author Lee Child

Ol' JACK REACHER is comin' to town next month, based on the novel One Shot by author Lee Child, who gives some insight into the character in this new featurette for the upcoming film.  Childs has written 17 JACK REACHER novels, focusing on the elusive former military policeman who seems to get entangled in conspiracies and violent throwdowns regularly.  Directed by...

The latest trailer for Bryan Singer's Jack the Giant Slayer has a tremendous amount of footage

This is another film I kind of forgot about since it was pushed back. A new trailer for JACK THE GIANT SLAYER is here to remind us that it still exists. The first peek we got wasn't too terribly impressive, or maybe it just caught me on a bad day. I enjoy Bryan Singer as a director, though I can't say I was originally intrigued by this. However, this trailer does do...

Two new TV spots for Jack Reacher, starring Tom Cruise, Rosamund Pike, and Robert Duvall

So, the big Holiday push of Oscar contenders, scenery-chewing performances, and epic fantasy tales is upon us with movies like LINCOLN, DJANGO UNCHAINED, LES MISERABLES, and THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY.  And, surely, I'm excited to see all of those films.  However, the one that looks to be the most unabashed fun is Tom Cruise's JACK REACHER.  After seeing SKYFALL last...

Christopher McQuarrie is now the frontrunner to direct Mission: Impossible 5

It looks like the next installment of the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise is gaining some steam, as Paramount, J.J. Abrams, and Tom Cruise are keen on bringing in writer/director Christopher McQuarrie, who just wrapped JACK REACHER with Cruise.  It's not the first time the two have collaborated, with McQuarrie writing VALKYRIE and developing the now dead TOP GUN 2 for Cruise. ...

Bryan Singer shows off the first fuzzy look at a giant from Jack the Giant Slayer

We haven't heard much about at all about JACK THE GIANT SLAYER in what I believe is technically referred to as "a long-ass time."  That's all about to change though, as director Bryan Singer has confirmed that he is in the process of putting together a trailer that will appear in front of both RISE OF THE GUARDIANS and THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY .  In order to promote...

What's going on with Logan and these ninjas? Check out these set photos from The Wolverine

Whatcha doin' on that snow plow, Wolvie? Some intriguing and easily captionable set photos from THE WOLVERINE have landed online. The movie is currently filming in Australia at Sydney Olympic Park. The Daily Telegraph also had some rather funny descriptions of what Hugh Jackman and some ninjas were up to: "Jackman hung off its side, jumped in the air and even dangled his legs...

The Wolverine will be released in 3D and focus on a grittier, less CGI enhanced hero. Plus a new teaser poster!

As promised, James Mangold and Hugh Jackman held a live Q&A today and discussed THE WOLVERINE. While it was a brief session, there were some interesting reveals made. Mangold revealed that THE WOLVERINE will take place after the events of X3: THE LAST STAND. He wanted to have Logan in a place where he has lost everything and everyone who mattered to him. It was also mentioned that...
