X-Files 2 talk

Posted 19 years ago

For some reason I thought David Duchovny would make a successful transition from TV to feature films, but aside from a wry turn in ZOOLANDER, it’s basically been snake eyes thus far. So it’s both depressing and amusing that he’s...

28 Months Later??

Posted 19 years ago

England hasn’t even been re-infected with rage yet, but 28 DAYS LATER director and 28 WEEKS LATER exec producer Danny Boyle is already giving consideration to where those speedy homicidal freaks could travel next. Boyle was apparently out promoting his...

Posted 19 years ago

I actually reported on this a few weeks ago, but nothing is truly “official” until it hits the trades, so here it is again: Dougray Scott will be chasing rogue assassin Timothy Olyphant in the big-screen adaptation of the HITMAN...

Posted 19 years ago

Many fans of ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK weren’t exactly ecstatic about the recent news that notorious antihero Snake Plissken is returning with a different actor (300’s abdominable king Gerard Butler) in the role. Guess what? Kurt Russell ain’t either. The...

Supergirl returns?

Posted 19 years ago

While Marvel characters make it to theaters on a regular basis, most of the DC Comics superheroes haven’t quite been faster than a speeding bullet to film production — aside from Bats and Supes, most of them have been fitted...

The Devil Dared them

Posted 19 years ago

I love getting “ambushed” by movies I didn’t know about that look like a metric ton of fun. I try to support independent filmmakers out there (particularly when they pour free booze down my throat), and it certainly helps if...

Grindhouse get an R

Posted 19 years ago

It’s just a couple of weeks before the hordes of old-school horror fans finally get to sink their teeth into the massively anticipated Tarantino/Rodriguez double feature GRINDHOUSE. And it seems safe to say we’ll get our money’s worth. For starters,...
