'Medieval Times' Restaurant to Become Movie Because Hollywood Has Stopped Trying

Britt Hayes — Mon, 13 May 2013 18:10:17 +0000

There’s just something off about movie news today, as highlighted by this little morsel: Medieval Times — as in the restaurant, not the time period — is being developed into a movie. We are turning restaurant concepts into movies now. Can ‘Olive Garden: The Movie’ be far behind? It’s bad enough that Hollywood is turning [...]

'The Croods 2′ Is Happening Because…It Made Money

Damon Houx — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 23:30:12 +0000

Though DreamWorks Animation has had some hits ('Shrek 2,' believe it or not, is one of the top ten highest grossing films of all time), their last film at Paramount ,'Rise of the Guardians,' was such a flop that it caused the studio to reduce ranks. Fortunately that may have just been some bad luck as their most recent film 'The Croods' is so successful that the studio has just announced a sequel.

Richard Linklater Taking Robert Redford and Nick Nolte for 'A Walk in the Woods'

Britt Hayes — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:00:33 +0000

No, Richard Linklater isn't really taking a peaceful stroll in the woods with Robert Redford and Nick Nolte to wax existentially about the environmental crisis and how it pertains to the human experience (we wish) -- 'A Walk in the Woods' is the name of Linklater's latest project, with Redford and Nolte attached.

'Monsters University' Website Gets Hijacked For April Fool's Day

Jacob Hall — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 12:04:00 +0000

April Fool's Day on the internet is generally a headache -- site post fake stories, communities pull pranks and everyone is generally miserable because most of the posts aren't done by professional comedians and sometimes those fake posts get taken seriously. However, some people know how to make their April Fool's shenanigans fun and clever instead of irritating and we can now include the marketing people behind 'Monsters University' in that number, who gave one of the upcoming film's sites an amusing facelift for the day.

New 'Evil Dead' Clip: Stabbing, Slashing and Smashing

Mike Sampson — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:09:00 +0000

Having seen 'Evil Dead' (you can read our review here), we expected this new clip to cut away before the real nasty stuff starts. It doesn't. This new 'Evil Dead' clip is probably your best indication of the film so far. The tensions escalate to the point where things get bad and then they get worse and then they get even worse after that until you're literally sitting on the edge of your seat, half-cringing. Don't worry, it's OK to watch through your fingers.

Sean Penn is the New Liam Neeson for 'Taken' Director's Latest

Britt Hayes — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 12:01:51 +0000

No, it’s not another sequel to ‘Taken,’ but director Pierre Morel is in talks to direct Sean Penn in ‘Prone Gunman.’ We just hope Sean Penn likes to run. Pierre Morel is at it again, and by “at it” we mean taking an older actor and making him run all over Europe like he’s a [...]
