First look at Woody Harrelson in Rob Reiner’s LBJ biopic

Posted 10 years ago

I have a soft spot for Rob Reiner. I love SPINAL TAP with all of my being (probably helps having been in a metal band myself), as well as PRINCESS BRIDE, STAND BY ME, and countless others. Hell, even NORTH...

Natalie Dormer joins Mel Gibson’s Professor and the Madman

Alicia Vikander & Emma Stone eyed for dueling Agatha Christie biopics

Posted 10 years ago

Dueling film projects are nothing new in Hollywood. It happened with ARMAGEDDON and DEEP IMPACT, WHITE HOUSE DOWN and OLYMPUS HAS FALLEN, and I've lost count of how many Robin Hood movies are currently in the works. Now THR is...
