After confirmed reports that Ryan Reynolds would not be wearing an actual suit for his lead part in Green lantern and that it would all be created digitally, just about everyone waited anxiously to see how it would look. When they finally rendered some images of the suit on Reynolds the reception was average at best.
To keep us biting at the bit while we wait for a trailer so we can really judge the CGI...

Call Sheet: A weekly run-down of movie casting news and rumours from around the web.
Undoubtedly the biggest casting news of the week was the appointment of Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker in the all-new upcoming Spider-Man franchise reboot, being directed by Marc Webb.
THR revealed the second biggest (potential) casting news of the week: Meryl Streep may be signing on to star in the biopic...

Maybe I spend too much time surfing the net for unsavory things in my spare time and, as a result, have become accustomed to seeing a certain word whenever associated letters are used… When I first read that Warner Brothers were changing the name of the fifth Final Destination film to 5nal Destination, I honestly thought the franchise was finally going all-out adult erotica.
Surely this is a stupid...

I’ve never been a fan of viral marketing. Give me a kickass trailer and a decent poster and I’m convinced. I guess the majority of popular viral campaigns have been aimed at comic book and superhero movies in the past, which I haven’t had enough interest in to bother following an entire viral layout.
Same can be said for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming thriller Inception starring...

These utterly uninspiring Jonah Hex character banners further demonstrate how Warner Brothers are keeping things as close to a proven template as possible. All originality has been thrown out the window and they’re clearly sticking to what has worked in the past on promotion for films like X-Men and Harry Potter, because these look exactly like that… only worse. Add to this the terrible trailer...

I’m not sure there’s much any writer, director, impressive cast or studio marketing could do to increase my enthusiasm about a Three Musketeers movie beyond the very low levels I possess at the moment. Two studios are trying to get two ‘Musketeers’ movies made right now– and they’re both hoping there is still a fan-base out there that will buy into the classic...

Just when I thought anticipation for Inception couldn’t get any bigger, Christopher Nolan and Warner Brothers have delivered a theatrical trailer that almost knocked me off my seat. It reveals more of the film anyone has seen up to this point, yet spoils very little about the world Leonardo DiCaprio exists in. My only regret is that I saw it online first, and not in a a cinema where I could hear gasps...

Forget ‘Boobquake’, fanboys online seem to be getting far more excited over this news than they do over cleavage: Christopher Nolan’s third Batman film has an official release date: 20th July, 2012.
That’s right, we’ve got over two years of hype, speculation, debate and intrigue to soak up before we see a single frame of Batman 3. The official date has been announced as a...

Christopher Nolan’s Inception has a lot going for it: bending reality/time/state-of-mind geekyness with gunfights for the lads, and Leo for the ladies. I’ve written about the anticipation surrounding the film and its original posters, trailers and images here and here recently.
Warner Brothers have released a new, ‘not-as-cool-as-the-others’ poster that is still...

Megan Fox will play a prostitute, wear busty tight dresses and carry small guns (is she compensating for something?) in her new film which also stars Josh Brolin and Jon Malkovich, called Jonah Hex. If you’re like me and don’t read comic books (this is another comic book/graphic novel adaptation) you’re probably also wondering ‘who the fuck is Jonah Hex?’ For both our sakes...
