The First 'Iron Man 2' Poster Appears!
3 hours ago | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
Marvel Studios, Paramount and Jon Favreau have given you an early Christmas present. Yahoo! Movies has debuted the first poster for Iron Man 2, and as cheesy as it is to go nuts over marketing, it's an awfully cool poster. It's their exclusive, so you'll have to click the picture to see the entire thing, but I've given you a tiny preview above.
The best part? Those of us who didn't get to see the pants-wetting footage at Comic-Con finally get a glimpse at War Machine! There's something deliciously geeky about the buddy cop stylings of this poster. I could live quite comfortably in a world where Iron Man 2 was something akin to a super-suited Lethal Weapon, couldn't you?
Of course, as nice as the poster is, it's no substitute for seeing these guys actually take flight. Faverau has hinted via Twitter that we might see the first Iron Man 2 trailer this Christmas, »

Kevin Smith's Latest Film Is "Average...in a Good Way"
28 November 2009 12:55 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
When filmmakers self-promote as much as Kevin Smith does, they typically get the reputation for being a snob. However, when Smith does it, it's often so candid and humorous that he ends up coming off as self-deprecating rather than arrogant. In a recent interview with AICN, Smith described himself as " a big f--in' loser from Jersey" and said that his success has forced him to rethink the films that he makes.
It was devastating the day I realized that, like, I can't do this anymore, 'cause it's too easy at this point. Like, I could do this in my sleep, but it's disingenuous. Like, I love Zack and Miri. I mean, I think it turned out well, but I look at Zack and Miri, and I look at Chasing Amy, and I go, Okay, two movies cut from similar cloth. What's the difference? One is made with the passion and »

Ninja Assassin (review)
24 November 2009 9:35 AM, PST | www.flickfilosopher.com | See recent FlickFilosopher news »
“Ninja assassin.” You just know that producers Joel Silver -- he helped create the modern action movie with Die Hard and Lethal Weapon, but he’s also responsible for modern schlock such as Gothika and Orphan -- and the Wachowski Brothers (of Matrix fame), professional fanboys all, were peeing in their pants with glee when they came up with that concept. It’s like “monster trucks” and “automatic weapons” and “zombie Nazis”: you take two great things that are awesome separately, and then you put ’em together and it becomes like totally mindblowing, dude. For certain dudes, at least. While some -- male and female alike, of course -- might prefer the mashed-up awesomeness of, say, “cupcake pony” or “chocolate orgasm” or, heaven help us, “sparkly vampire boyfriend,” the preview crowd with whom I saw Ninja Assassin was absolutely in ecstasy over this bloody concoction of slasher movie blended »

This Week in Blu-ray: Wolfman’s Got Nards
23 November 2009 10:37 PM, PST | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Another week, another round of dollars to be spent here on This Week in Blu-ray. And just like last week, there are a few movies worth buying. Well alright, maybe only a few -- which is a welcome sign for anyone who lives by this particular column, as I recommended an unprecedented seven titles as 'buys,' including two television sets (one complete series) and the Gone with the Wind gift set. This week, I've got a much lighter selection of big purchases and a few movies that I think you should probably rent. We begin though, with another must-have title. Check out my picks below, and remember to support your local movie blog (us) by clicking the links and buying from Amazon. The Monster Squad: 20th Anniversary Edition Yeah, it isn't the best movie in the world. I am well aware of the campiness and the cheesiness of Monster Squad, the »

22 November 2009 8:00 PM, PST | MoviesOnline.ca | See recent MoviesOnline news »
Joel Silver, one of the most prolific and successful producers in the history of motion pictures, has produced over 50 films, including the groundbreaking “The Matrix” trilogy, the blockbuster four-part “Lethal Weapon” franchise, and the seminal action films “Die Hard” and “Predator.” To date, Silver’s catalog of films have earned more than $10 billion in worldwide revenue from all sources.
Under his Silver Pictures banner, Silver is currently producing “Sherlock Holmes,” directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams, and set for a Christmas release; and the action thriller “The Book of Eli,” starring Denzel Washington under the direction of Albert and Allen Hughes, and due out January 2010.

Joel Silver Updates Lobo and Other Movies in Development
22 November 2009 12:10 PM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Producer Joel Silver has an incredible resume, including many of Hollywood's top properties — the Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, Predator, and Matrix franchises. His latest film, Ninja Assassin, opens this week and Silver is in various stages of production on eight other movies, with another dozen or more in development.
With so many different projects, it's hard to keep track of the status of all of them. Thankfully, Latino Review caught up with Silver and probed him about several of the fan-favorite films he is working on. While Silver didn't mention anything about the 3-D adaptation of DC Comics' Swamp Thing that he teased back in August, he did say that he is working on Lobo, another DC adaptation. We're working really close on that. It's close, yeah. There is a good shot we can make that happen.

Mel Gibson Busts Pap for Stealing

Mel Gibson caught our photographer red-handed yesterday at a restaurant in Brentwood ... after our guy stole a joke Mel dropped six months ago and tried to pawn it off as his own.The blatant thievery occurred after Mel finished dining with "Lethal Weapon" director Richard Donner ... when our guy not-so-cleverly decided to call Mel -- who recently had his eighth kid -- "octodad." Too bad Mel dropped his "Octo-Mel" line on "Leno" back in May »
Glover To Wed Brazilian Girlfriend - Reports
19 November 2009 8:12 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Hollywood actor Danny Glover is set to wed his longtime Brazilian girlfriend next month, according to Brazilian media reports.
The Lethal Weapon star has dated teacher Eliane Cavalleiro for six years and will finally make their relationship official before the end of 2009, reports the O Globo newspaper.
Glover told a spokesperson for the Rio de Janeiro film festival this week (begs16Nov09) the couple have yet to determine if they will reside in Glover's native U.S. after the union. He says, "(Living together in the U.S.) that's not definitive. We can live here (in Brazil) and there. All I know is that I want to be with her. We'll see how the logistics work out."
Glover, 63, and 43-year-old Cavalleiro met in 2003 when he attended the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, Brazil. »

Interview: Eric Lichtenfeld Part 2 of 2
This is the second half of my talk with Eric Lichtenfeld, author of Action Speaks Louder: Violence, Spectacle, and the American Action Movie. Please don’t forget to check out the first half of this interview or my original review of his book.
Bob Rose: Do you enjoy action film satires such as True Lies, Shoot ’Em Up, or Hot Fuzz?
Eric Lichtenfeld: I like True Lies a lot.
Br: It’s definitely a satire, at least to some degree.
El: Yes, a loving one. It’s one of those films that works both ways. I think Robocop is an even better example than True Lies, but both of them illustrate this well: it’s a satire that works as a movie even if you don’t get the satire. You don’t watch them and think that there is something you’re missing. »

Mel Gibson Talks Mad Max 4
17 November 2009 12:13 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Up until now the only people discussing Mad Max: Fury Road have been director George Miller and online film writers (like myself) who have been following the development of the sci-fi sequel.
It looks like original star Mel Gibson won’t be returning to portray Max for a fourth time (he’ll apparently hand over the reins to British actor Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron) but that doesn’t seem to worry the outspoken star. Having said that, Gibson is less than forthcoming with details about his (lack of?) involvement in the film.
Gibson was interviewed by Australia’s Herald Sun about the recently released Blu-ray of his Oscar-winning epic Braveheart and talk turned to his participation in Mad Max 4.
Gibson said:
”I was just talking with George (Miller, Mad Max director) the other day, he dropped me a line, so you kind of keep in touch with »

Mel Gibson and girfriend have a baby daughter

Mel Gibson has become a father for the eighth time.
The 'Lethal Weapon' actor's girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva gave birth to a baby girl on Friday (30.10.09) and both mother and daughter are said to be doing well.
The baby - whose name is yet to be revealed - was due in December.
Mel already has seven children with his estranged wife Robyn, while Oksana has a son, Alexander, with former boyfriend Timothy Dalton.
In September, Oksana spoke of her excitement at becoming a mother again.
She said: "I have a 12-year-old, so I've been a mother for 12 years - and of course, there is no first time mother's trepidation as such. So naturally it's more relaxed, and I'm very dynamic so the pregnancy falls into my work schedule."
Mel, 53, confirmed the rumours of Oksana's pregnancy in May on a Us talk show, saying: "This is true. We're going to have a child. »

Confirmed: Tom Hardy & Charlize Theron in Mad Max 4 Negotiations
30 October 2009 3:57 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Just a few days ago, we talked about a report E! Online had put out which stated that RocknRolla star Tom “Handsome Bob” Hardy and Charlize Theron were on the short list to star in George Miller’s 4th installment of the Mad Max series, Fury Road. E! Online didn’t have any solid confirmation regarding the rumors so the information was to be taken with a grain of salt.
Today we learn (thanks to a heads up from First Showing), that The Hollywood Reporter is confirming both Hardy and Theron have entered into negotiations to star in Fury Road, with Hardy filling in for Mel Gibson as the titular role of Max Rockatansky and Theron as the female lead (does that mean she’s the new Tina Turner?). At this point, unless something wonky happens, Hardy and Theron will be the ones we see come release time.

Star Trek Writers Are Not Producing Doc Savage
28 October 2009 4:45 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Contrary to our previous report that Star Trek screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman would be producing an adaptation of Doc Savage written by Lethal Weapon and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang's Shane Black, it looks like Neil Moritz and Ori Marmur (The Green Hornet) are producing it instead.
AICN originally named Orci and Kurtzman as the producers, while Collider pointed out the error, maintaining that the rest of the original report is true. Doc Savage will be penned by Black, who may direct, and the movie will take place in the 1930s instead of being updated for modern times.
Whoever produces Doc Savage, we can't wait to see the pulp world's first physician/surgeon/scientist/adventurer/inventor/explorer/researcher/musician in a better movie than 1975's camp classic Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze.

Shane Black to Helm ‘Doc Savage’ Movie
27 October 2009 8:00 AM, PDT | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »
Not many people outside of the world of film know Shane Black by name, but most certainly do by reputation. Black is best known for being the driving creative writing force behind such films as Monster Squad, Last Boy Scout, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, and all of the good Lethal Weapon films.
Black has been bouncing around for the past few years, with rumors that he would be working on a revamped Doc Savage property, with Schwarzenegger as a strong contender back in the 90s. Well, Arnie may be out, but Black is most definitely in, definitely writing and possibly directing, according to Collider.
“[the film] will be set in the 30s and not modernize the story….The producers of “Doc Savage” are Neil Moritz and Ori Marmur. They’re the guys who are also producing “The Green Hornet”, “Battle: Los Angeles”, and “Jack the Giant Killer.” Furthermore, they have a deal »
