In this age of endless remakes, we can’t believe it’s taken someone this long to announce a new take on ‘The Invisible Man.’ (No, we’re not counting Kevin Bacon in ‘The Hollow Man.’)
Writer-director David S. Goyer wants to revive the classic Universal horror character, who thrilled audiences back in the 1930s along with monsters Frankenstein, The Mummy and The Wolf Man.
Goyer, a writer on ‘The Dark… More
In the scary-looking ‘Apollo 18′ (in theaters Friday), astronauts find they’re not alone on the moon, which is just about the last place you’d want to encounter the unknown.
Pity the poor astronaut. Even if you don’t land on a hostile planet, you’re still vulnerable to a great many horrifying things if you just stay inside your fragile little spaceship. As movies have shown us, when you sign up… More
Aptly, moviegoers celebrated Labor Day weekend by watching a film about underappreciated household workers. For the third straight weekend, period dramedy ‘The Help’ was the top movie at the box office, ending the summer season by fending off three more action-packed newcomers: ‘The Debt,’ ‘Apollo 18′ and ‘Shark Night 3D.’
From Friday to Sunday, ‘The Help’ earned an estimated $ 14.2 million, a microscopic… More
So George Lucas is coming in for some heavy criticism for altering several scenes in the Blu-ray edition of ‘Star Wars: The Complete Saga,’ which is scheduled to hit stores on Sept. 16.
At the center of the controversy is the addition of audio to the scene at the end of ‘Return of the Jedi,’ when Darth Vader throws Emperor Palpatine down a shaft; in the original… More
From ComicsAlliance: Inspired by Martin Hanford’s Where’s Waldo books, Richard Sargent of Hopewell Studios has presented robot fans with a similarly awesome challenge: Find Pixar’s WALL-E amid dozens of pop culture’s most famous robots, then identify them all. The amateur robotologist who correctly identifies the largest number of ‘bots by August 31 will even be awarded a print from Hopewell. You don’t have to get competitive to enjoy… More
Jodie Foster played a scientist trying to communicate with aliens in ‘Contact’ — turns out it’s a cause that’s dear to the actress’s heart in real life.
Foster, along with 2,000 other private donors, has helped raise $ 200,000 to keep the nonprofit Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute running after its program to listen for alien signals fell victim to budget cuts.
“Just like Ellie Arroway, the… More
Pop diva Rihanna is totally unrecognizable in her first acting role as a soldier taking on some scary aliens in the upcoming ‘Battleship.’ Gone are the wild wigs and barely-there outfits; instead, she’s in a uniform and wielding some badass looking artillery.
Although she’s in pretty amazing shape (as those skimpy stage costumes clearly show), she had to undergo intensive military training for the… More
On Friday, a ‘Planet of the Apes’ movie will be available at a theater near you. It’s the seventh one, actually, so perhaps you’re excited already? Then again, the last one probably came out before you were born. That is, unless you count the one starring Mark Wahlberg that was released in 2001, but, alas, you don’t count that one because it was awful. This one stars James… More
It’s conventional wisdom that Woody Allen’s American fan base has all but deserted him over the last 20 years. Between his 1990s personal scandals and a series of hit-or-miss movies that seemed like pale xeroxes of his earlier films, viewers in his own country had pretty much abandoned him to the French. So how, then, can one explain the smash success of… More
If there’s any director who can take on a story about a love triangle involving a black hole, it’s just might be David Cronenberg, who’s always had an affinity for out-there sci-fi scenarios with highbrow appeal.
Media Rights Capital has just acquired the Jonathan Lethem novel ‘As She Climbed Across the Table’ for Cronenberg to direct.
The novel is about an academic whose physicist girlfriend accidentally creates a… More
