Favs wants Avengers?

Posted 19 years ago

We’re still a few months away from seeing IRON MAN and THE INCREDIBLE HULK come to cinematic life, but some people are already kicking around the idea of putting them into another movie together, along with a few other familiar...

Carnahan’s new Task

Posted 19 years ago

A while back, SMOKIN’ ACES writer-director Joe Carnahan made a cryptic post at his blog: just a picture of X-MEN comic character Juggernaut. This led to speculation (by me, anyway) that Carnahan might be tackling the character for one of...

Posted 19 years ago

While recently discussing THE DARK KNIGHT’s buzz, generally insightful and reliable Variety columnist Anne Thompson made mention that “it is highly unlikely that Bryan Singer will return to shoot the next Superman movie.” Although that’s hardly a confirmation, it wouldn’t...

Watch: Terminus

Posted 19 years ago

Since there won’t be any substantial movie news until early 2008, I figured I’d dig up a few independent short films to keep you occupied until then. Commuters face all sorts of difficulties — cramped subways, germs, crowded sidewalks, traffic,...
