The first new Sherlock Holmes movie hasn’t even opened yet but Warner Bros. reportedly is talking sequel. They’re reportedly happy with the movie, directed by Guy Ritchie and have asked the writers of “Justice League: Mortal,” to whip up something. The other big rumor is that they’re talking with Brad Pitt to play Holmes’ nemesis [...]
Only Quentin Tarantino could make a World War II movie like this. “Inglourious Basterds,” is a more of a pastiche of the second World War than a accurate, detailed and correct study of the events of what happened in Nazi-occupied France.
If you’re like me, anything Terrence Malick does is worth seeing. (I once worked on a movie with some of the accountants from “The New World,” and I continually bothered them about stories and facts about him.) And, given the fact that he works is such silence, the release of a new Malick movie is [...]
We’ve been talking about it for some time now. But now it’s here. Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds,” had its first screening ever at the Cannes Film Festival in France. What’d people think? Here’s a sampling of reviews from across the internet: Obsessed With Film: “Absolute F**CKING quality!…. It gets a bit silly for ten minutes [...]
A new teaser poster for Quentin Tarantino’s “Inglorious Basterds” has been released. It’s spare, simple and gets me excited even more excited to see the movie. “Inglorious Basterds” will play at the Cannes Film Festival, and then open nation-wide at the end of August.
Brad Pitt’s Plan B and Paramount Pictures have acquired the rights to John Le Carre’s novel, “The Night Manager.” The story is about a night manager, (shocking, I know,) at a hotel in Europe, who is recruited to try to inflitrate the network of an arms dealer. Some of Le Carre’s other novels have been [...]
Empire magazine has a few updates about Terrence Malick’s latest movie. What it’s about is unclear, but it seems that it might be a combination of “Q,” a project Malick was developing in the late 1970s with a prologue set in pre-historic times. According to Wikipedia, the Malick project “Tree of Life,” is about a [...]
There is a debate going on right now about which is better out of the two front runners for Best Picture this year: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button or Slumdog Millionaire. It could be construed as a very tough debate, but one has to understand that they are both such strikingly different films that [...]
Though it’s set in the 1880’s, Andrew Dominik’s “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford,” could have been set today. The questions it raises, namely, what is celebrity, what makes celebrity, why do people crave celebrity and, perhaps most importantly, what happens after you get celebrity?
Steven Soderbergh apparently never sleeps. Even though, “Cleo,” his Cleopatra rock opera fell apart after Hugh Jackman bailed, (one would assume the performance of “Australia,” didn’t help make the backers sleep easy,) Soderbergh already has his next proejct lined up. Based on Michael Lewis’ book of the same name, “Moneyball,” is about Oakland A’s manager [...]
‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,’ starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett is a special film. It is a tale of a unique life
I didn’t realize HOW in depth the visual effects of ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ were until I saw this video over at io9.com (which in turn had reposted it from a CG blog). Not only did they take Brad Pitt and place his head on an older man’s body, but all his make [...]
