Reel Short: BEING CARL WILLIAMS

Australians know who Carl Williams is because he was portrayed in a successful mini series which aired in 2007 called Underbelly. It had guns, money, tits and painted a colourful picture of the Australian underground crime world lead by Carl and his stooges… Actually, I have no idea– the show was complete shit, but Aussie audiences lapped it up because it was based on true stories. If only that...

AVATAR being re-released to 3D cinemas worldwide in August. No, really.

Did you see Avatar in the cinema? You know, with the silly 3D glasses on and hundreds of sheep people looking on in awe? Chances are you did… we all did. And if you didn’t see it in cinemas you most likely got the DVD or Blu-ray the day it came out or soon thereafter. Numbers indicate we all saw Avatar at some point. The big question is: would you pay money to go see it in the cinemas again, if...

14 new MACHETE images featuring Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Danny Trejo and Steven Segal

Robert Rodriguez’s much anticipated production of Predators hit cinemas today, and with it came the awesome bonus of a trailer for Machete, his upcoming return to the director’s chair. To coincide with the trailer playing in cinemas, Fox have also splashed a bunch of deliciously grungy new Machete images, posters and lobby cards across the web, delivering just a handful to some leading movie...

Sometimes the truth really does suck: Trailer for TWILIGHT spoof movie VAMPIRES SUCK

Here we go again. Another one of those horrid, ridiculous, waste-of-time spoof movies that takes advantage of latest pop culture references and crams them into a plotless, pointless 90-minutes and aims to sell lots of tickets… and they do. What’s really gritting my shit about Vampires Suck (geddit?), is that it’s catering, somewhat successfully, to both fans of the Twilight saga as well...

If you’re gonna do something wrong, do it right: MAD MAX 4 shooting ‘real’ 3D

The upcoming July issues of Australia’s Inside Film magazine will feature extensive coverage of George Miller’s third Mad Max sequel Fury Road which is currently in pre-production Down Under. As an appetizer, they have posted a short article and interview with the director online. Miller has revealed that he’ll be shooting Mad Max: Fury Road using 3D technology (not just converting 2D...

New SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD poster

Empire has given us a look at another superb poster for Edgar Wright’s upcoming action-comedy-fantasy comic book adaptation Scott Pilgrim vs The World. This one is being used to promote the film in the UK. I was sceptical about Scott Pilgrim at first– even with Edgar Wright directing. I wasn’t convinced until that first trailer blew me away. Even though it seems to be the same kind...

Would you pay to see TITANIC again, in 3D this time?

The LA Times confirms James Cameron is taking on the long task of converting Titanic into a 3D film for Fox, ready to be re-released in April 2012. That date marks 100 years since Titanic’s tragic sinking, and they seem to think re-releasing the film in 3D and selling even more tickets to see it would be a fitting way to capitalize on the occasion. I mean, why not? The majority of the 3D films you...

New LET ME IN poster takes advantage of how awesome blood looks on ice

Empire has an exclusive first look of the UK’s poster for the upcoming Let The Right One In remake Let Me In. It continues with the mysterious vampire theme and takes advantage of that whole blood-on-ice effect which, admittedly, is pretty neat. I always enjoy simple, engaging posters and this certainly is that. I felt like the first trailer for Let Me In was off the mark, looking like just...

New GET LOW trailer proves Bill Murray has still got it

The first trailer for Aaron Schneider’s Get Low had me convinced already. This new feature trailer (and the new poster, below) has cemented my desire to see this film as soon as possible. Alas, there are still no Australian dates announced. Something tells me I’ll be seeing this at the local independent cinema instead of the megaplex– and that’s just fine by me! I’ve always...

Christina Aguilera acting her ass off in new BURLESQUE photos

Who would you cast in the role of “a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to Los Angeles”…? An actor who can hardly sing, or a singer who can hardly act? We’ll know sooner enough when Christina (or is that Xtina?) Aguilera makes her feature film debut in Burlesque, starring alongside Cher and directed by Steve...
