Fincher’s Black Hole

Posted 19 years ago

If director David Fincher actually makes half the projects he attaches himself to, he’ll be working well into his Clint Eastwood years. Fincher is now set to adapt Charles Burns’ subversive and f*cked-up graphic novel BLACK HOLE, taking over the...

Next for Wright?

Posted 19 years ago

I’ve heaped mounds of praise on filmmaker Edgar Wright, and for damn good reason: aside from the genuinely brilliant UK series SPACED, he’s delivered two modern genre classics with SHAUN OF THE DEAD and HOT FUZZ (and a tiny slice...

Posted 19 years ago

UPDATE: Cameron dropped a note to AICN (apparently his only conduit for communicating with the outside world) to say that the below artwork didn’t come from them. Also, he’s ecstatic with the movie so far, and his animators are currently...

Batmanime footage

Posted 19 years ago

Bat-fans should be excited to know that they’ll get more than just THE DARK KNIGHT this summer — an anime-themed project called BATMAN: GOTHAM KNIGHT (more details HERE) will descend upon DVD players at the same time. A 10-minute behind-the-scenes...

People vs Lucas poster

Posted 19 years ago

A documentary called THE PEOPLE vs. GEORGE LUCAS is currently in the works, and will feature interviews with various STAR WARS fans (including our renowned honcho JoBlo himself!) as they elucidate their relationships with the franchise from a galaxy far,...

JLA: Dead heroes?

Posted 19 years ago

As we already learned last month, the live-action JUSTICE LEAGUE movie was officially put in a holding pattern until after the (now-resolved) writers strike so the script could revised or completely rewritten. Oddly, Blockbuster Down Under recently got the following...
