Now this news came out of nowhere. THR's Live Feed blog is reporting that Fox is developing a U.S. version of the British series Torchwood, which was a spinoff of the recent Dr. Who series. Russell T. Davies, who launched Torchwood and the revamped Dr. Who, is on-board to write the script. The rest of…

Director D.J. Caruso has come a long way since his days of directing television shows like VR 5, Martial Law, and most notably, The Shield. His latest feature, Eagle Eye, was such a complete mess of a film (reviewed here on the /Filmcast) that it made me dread any potential project that he was attached…

More than a year ago, we ran a story explaining why Cloverfield director Matt Reeves wanted to remake the beloved Swedish horror film, Let the Right One In. His personal take on the material led me to believe that perhaps Let Me In could actually end up being a worthwhile American take on the material.…

A few weeks ago, we reported on Netflix's plan to delay Warner Brothers new releases for twenty-eight days. While not exactly convenient for Netflix subscribers, the move was thought to put Netflix in a better position with the studio to receive more physical copies of films, and potentially get more streaming rights as well. Hacking…

Last we heard about a 3-D version of the Star Wars saga, George Lucas mentioned back in August 2008 that he had put LucasFilm to work on developing the technology to make it happen. At that point, he said that the technology worked great, but it wasn't very practical. Now we have word that Lucas…

Given the explosive response the trailer for The A-Team has gotten, I think director Joe Carnahan will become quite the hot commodity after this summer. And according to Cinematical, we now know what he'd like to do after his first big blockbuster --- a survival drama entitled The Grey. The project comes from his own…

CTU is now located in New York, Jack Bauer is a grandpa, and once again someone is plotting to assassinate an inspiring political figure. Tonight saw the launch of 24's eighth season, which continues several months after the events of the previous season. These first two episodes were mainly about setting up the new conflict…

Fox has posted James Cameron's script for Avatar online to be read/studied/mocked as you please. The script is dated 2007, and from what I've read includes some Earth-based opening scenes that never made it to the film. It's a shame too, because those scenes actually serve to set up Jake Sully as a character fairly…

Hollywood Video owner Movie Gallery has struck another blow against the continued viability of brick and mortar video rental stores. The struggling chain could be closing as many as 1,000 stores (out of the 2,700 stores in the U.S.) to help pay off $600 million in debt. That many of these large video rental chains…

Hot off of Quantum of Solace, Marc Forster is now set to direct The Chancellor Manuscript --- an adaptation of the Robert Ludlum thriller of the same name. The film is a potential starring vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio (who's also producing), and Peter O'Brien has been tasked with adapting the screenplay. The story concerns an…

We've got word on two upcoming documentaries that will reflect on past U.S. tragedies: First up, we've learned that Steven Spielberg will be executive producing an upcoming television documentary about the construction of the One World Trade Center building in New York. The six-part documentary series will be created for the Science Channel, and will…

I remember getting chills after watching the trailer for Rian Johnson's Brick back in 2005, and watching this newly unearthed pre-Sundance trailer for the film is giving me similar vibes. Maybe it's the brilliant use of Ennio Morricone's "Paying off Scores", or the way the trailer is cut to a conversation between Brendan and Brain…

The third (and presumably last) trailer for Breck Eisner's The Crazies has hit, and this one is all about being short and sweet. We covered the first trailer back in October (which featured the Gary Jules cover of "Mad World"), and the second in December, which went a bit more in depth with the setup.…

I guess Mark Wahlberg really enjoyed making 2005's Four Brothers, because THR is reporting that he has gotten the ball rolling on a sequel entitled Five Brothers. Wahlberg apparently developed the sequel idea with the first film's writers, David Elliot and Paul Lovett (who both also worked on G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra). He's…

Back in November, we reported that Jake Gyllenhaal will star in Duncan Jones' post-Moon feature, Source Code. Now THR's Heat Vision Blog is reporting that Vera Farmiga is in negotiations and Michelle Monaghan is set to to star in the film as well. THR describes the film as one which "centers on a soldier (Gyllenhaal)…

The ongoing drama between Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno, and their NBC overlords reached near-soap operatic levels today when Conan issued a public statement that he won't continue with the Tonight Show if NBC moved it to a 12:05am time slot. We've covered the background of this whole fiasco previously, and I consider that required reading…

A simple --- yet very effective --- teaser for David Simon's (The Wire, Generation Kill) new HBO series Treme has just popped online. Even at a mere fourty-seven seconds, it's already giving me goosebumps. Hunter has covered some statements from Simon about the series last month. Here's a primer: Treme is about a group of…

It's been some time since Tom Hanks has been in the feature film director's chair, but according to Mike Fleming over at Deadline Hollywood (are they on a roll today, or what?), Hanks is set to direct and star in Larry Crowne --- alongside Charlie Wilson's War co-star Julia Roberts. Hanks wrote the screenplay, and…

I love me some James Gunn, so it warms my geek heart to see that he's assembling quite the cast for his post-Slither feature film follow-up Super. The film stars Rainn Wilson as Frank, a man who transforms himself into a superhero named Crimson Bolt --- despite having no real powers --- after his addict…

For years now, we've been reporting on the potential film adaptation of the Konami game series Metal Gear Solid. Last year, we reported that Equilibrium director Kurt Wimmer was talking with the studio about adapting the game, and there were also rumors about Paul Thomas Anderson directing as well (we think they really meant Paul…

The big news today involves some last minute casting changes for Kenneth Branagh's Thor. Stuart Townsend, who was cast as Fandral, has left the film over "creative differences". In his stead will be Joshua Dallas, a young actor with not much of a profile. Dallas has previously been cast in the sequel to the UK…

Earlier this week, we reported on possible production delays for Spider-Man 4 which pushed the film off of its May 5th, 2011 release date, and to a potential July date instead. That Thor was also scheduled for that May 5th weekend probably also made that date less than ideal. Now we have some details from…

We covered the first three-minute long trailer for the Chow Yun Fat-starring Confucius back in September, and now we have yet another glimpse at the historical epic. There have been several small trailers released since then, so I'm just going to go ahead and call this trailer number two. This trailer has the benefit of…

ComingSoon is reporting that J.J. Abrams' still untitled Star Trek sequel is now tentatively set for a June 29, 2012 release. The news comes directly from Paramount, and will likely disappoint those hoping for a quick turnaround 2011 date. As the Friday right before July 4th weekend, it's a very strong date, and possibly a…

Now that we're gearing up for the premiere of the final season of Lost on February 2nd, you can bet that we're going to see an increase in Lost news. Take for example the many Losties who are now petitioning Disney for the show to become an attraction at Disneyland by replacing Tom Sawyer Island.…

I'm sure at some point in your life, you've desperately tried to recall the fried chicken restaurant in Rocko's Modern Life ("Chokey Chicken"), or the bizarro version of the Seinfeld coffee shop ("Reggie's"), to no avail. Now you have a resource to turn to in those moments of desperation. The statistical database site StateMaster has…

The last we reported on the Ghost Rider sequel nobody wants, David Goyer had mentioned that the studio was using his 9-year old script as the basis. Our good friend Frosty over at Collider recently got a chance to speak with producer Mike De Luca about the sequel, and came away with a number of…
