Paul W.S. Anderson's 3D disaster movie Pompeii adds cast and gets a February 2014 release date

Paul W.S. Anderson is by no means a great director. In fact, I would put the director of MORTAL KOMBAT and the RESIDENT EVIL franchise closer to the likes of Uwe Boll . But, unlike Boll, Anderson somehow makes movies that do well at the box office. His track record has shown incredible consistency amongst not very good movies. With that in mind, Anderson's upcoming historical...

Jared Harris joins Paul W.S. Anderson's 3-D Pompeii adventure

POMPEII is currently filming in Italy and Deadline is reporting that the 3-D action-adventure movie has added one more person to its cast. Jared Harris has agreed to appear in the film as a rich merchant named Lucretius. His daughter Flavia (played by Emily Browning ) is put in harms way when Mount Vesuvius erupts and it's up to slave-turned-gladiator Milo ( Kit Harington ) to save...

Because you didn't ask for it, Paul W.S. Anderson is set to direct Resident Evil 6

I will always be thankful to Paul W.S. Anderson for bringing MORTAL KOMBAT to the big screen. I remember the first time I saw the trailer for that, and my little heart was filled with so much joy and carnage. It's one of the only video game adaptations that work, in my opinion. That's also a long drawn out conversation that I don't want to bore you with. We are talking about...

What could be the final Resident Evil will be released in 2014

RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION was the first RESIDENT EVIL movie that didn't out-gross its predecessor. That being said, a worldwide total of $221 million is still a pretty good chunk of change on a budget of $65 million. But some of us wondered if it'd be enough for Paul W.S. Anderson and Milla Jovovich to come back for one last go around. Turns out it was because...

Get over here! Check out the trailer for web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy season 2

The MORTAL KOMBAT film series has had an odd journey to be sure.� The first film, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson was a solid hit for the franchise, while the sequel, MORTAL KOMBAT: ANNHILIATION, was less than stellar.� Since then, rumors of a new film bounced around, ultimately leading nowhere until director Kevin Tancharoen took it on with his MORTAL KOMBAT: REBIRTH short film, which...

Casting roundup: Maria Bello joins Prisoners, Kit Harington takes on Pompeii, and Chris Hemsworth for spy thriller Candy Store

First off we have PRISONERS, a spin on the TAKEN formula that relegates the action to a small American town and transforms the lead from a man with special skills to a carpenter desperate for answers. I expect that hacksaw will be put to some good use in the course of the film. Already set to star Hugh Jackman, Jake Gyllenhaal, Melissa Leo, Paul Dano, and Viola Davis, the...

DVD/Blu-ray release dates and details for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Part 2 and Resident Evil: Retribution

So as it turns out, the release details on these two movies are a bit unbalanced in terms of content - for one we have the final DVD/Blu-ray art and a general description of what goodies the discs will contain, while for the other we have no art but plenty of specificity involving what goodies the discs will contain. Hopefully we'll have updates soon enough for you on those elements...

Ruben Fleischer the latest director to attempt a Spy Hunter adaptation

Here we go again...Apparently, the long-gestating adaptation of the popular '80's driving game SPY HUNTER has now fallen in the hands of director Ruben Fleischer (GANGSTER SQUAD, ZOMBIELAND) with an eye towards restarting the development process from scratch.� Most of you will remember the "dream team" of John Woo and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson being affiliated with the project for a long...

This time she has to battle her way out of an underwater facility, while old faces reemerge to either help her or try to end her life once and for all.

Interview: Resident Evil Retribution star Milla Jovovich + a JimmyO cameo in the film!

If there was ever a good reason to be continually excited to see another RESIDENT EVIL flick, it would have to be because of Milla Jovovich. The actress is a stunning beauty with a ton of talent and one of the best female action heroes around. With the release of RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION, Ms. Jovovich once again brings Alice to life and in a nice twist to her character, she adds a...

Interview: Resident Evil Retribution director Paul W.S. Anderson

Love him or hate him, Paul W.S. Anderson has remained faithful to his interpretation of RESIDENT EVIL and he continues to do so in the latest installment, RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION. The newest chapter feels more like the video game than the previous installments for many reasons, this is especially true as to how the �players� in the new film must conquer certain levels to free themselves...

Interview: Resident Evil Retribution star Michelle Rodriguez

I couldn�t be happier to have Michelle Rodriguez back in the RESIDENT EVIL world as she returns for the upcoming RETRIBUTION. The actress always adds a fierce intensity to her tough as nails roles, yet this time around she gets to change things up. In the new film, you get to see a side of Michelle that is pretty unusual considering her past work. There is nothing not to like about...
