Battle Angel details?

Posted 18 years ago

Posted 18 years ago

While he’s about to take us to a particularly nasty-looking future in the impending DOOMSDAY, director Neil Marshall plans to go in the opposite direction for his next project. Marshall will commit SACRILEGE, a horror flick set in the Old...

Last year, UNDERWORLD guy Len Wiseman was attached to a remake of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and an adaptation of the videogame GEARS OF WAR. Both those pricey projects were at the now-crumpled New Line and neither will be entering...

Wilson back in school

Posted 18 years ago

Luke Wilson must have enjoyed the college experience of OLD SCHOOL, since he’s heading back to campus. Nope, it’s not the occasionally discussed sequel to that frat blast, but Wilson is taking his substantial jaw back to class for a...

New Spidey toon

Posted 18 years ago

I’ve lost count of how many incarnations there are of SPIDER-MAN. In comics, there’s been versions in the regular Marvel Universe, the Ultimate Universe and 2099 (not to mention variations in Exiles, Marvel Zombies and Spider-Man India), a live-action 70s...

Posted 18 years ago

The countdown to IRON MAN is at just a couple of months, and the final one-sheet is now online. The poster seems to have the appropriate elements: the armor, some jets, a hot chick and the important heads. Not sure...
