Marshall takes Drive

Posted 18 years ago

His DOOMSDAY may not have connected with audiences during its opening weekend, but that isn’t slowing Neil Marshall down. Quite the opposite, in fact — he’s stomping on the accelerator. Marshall is set to direct DRIVE, Universal’s adaptation of the...

Will the JUSTICE LEAGUE be the JUSTICE LEAF? Australia has reportedly hosed the superhero gathering that so few fans even seem to want. The project, which for some reason is being referred to by the idiotic title JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL,...

Speed Racer posters

Posted 18 years ago

Robocop reboot?

Posted 18 years ago

A recent announcement about MGM’s new honcho shuffle seems to have caused some kerfuffle — because waaaaayyyy down at the bottom it mentions that the studio is developing, among other things, a remake of Paul Verhoeven’s classic sci-fi satire ROBOCOP....

While this year has an impressive superhero lineup hitting theaters, 2009 is frontloaded with comic characters, beginning in January with Frank Miller’s adaptation of Will Eisner’s iconic hero THE SPIRIT. Miller recently posted a production blog update at the official...

Posted 18 years ago

We’re still a year from seeing her as slinky superhero Silk Spectre in WATCHMEN, but sexy Carla Gugino is keeping plenty busy in the meantime. Once she finishes the thriller UNBORN, she’ll be joining Disney’s new RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN....
