If it's Tuesday, there's a new Nicolas Cage movie to talk about

8 September 2009 12:55 AM, PDT | Corona's Coming Attractions | See recent Corona's Coming Attractions news »

At the tail end of last month news broke of a new action movie called Drive Angry that Nicolas Cage has committed to star in. He still is going to star in that film which starts rolling in April but now Cage has found another paycheck to earn before Drive Angry gets rolling.

The Hollywood Reporter says that the comic book Coppola will topline The Hungry Rabbit Jumps, a thriller that will shoot in January in New Orleans (the same place where Drive Angry will lens.) Get this: the story will have Mr. Ghost Rider playing a man whose wife is a victim of a brutal crime, so he gets caught up somehow in an underground vigilante group that ferrets out justice on criminals. Sounds like Fight Club meets The Star Chamber meets Death Wish. At this rate it's pretty much a given that if you're playing a son, daughter »

Roger Donaldson Making Umbra

26 May 2009 12:20 AM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Roger Donaldson, the man behind The World's Fastest Indian* and The Bank Job, is in talks to direct Umbra, which is being described as a paranoid thriller.Of course, that's all it's being described as, since further plot details are still under wraps. Steven Karczynski wrote the script, which doesn't give us much to go on. A quick google search, however, reveals that Umbra is either a "worldwide leader in original, casual, contemporary, affordable design for the home" based in Toronto, or a word meaning the darkest part of the shadow. Hmm, we're not sure which would make us more paranoid: darkness, or the prospect of shopping for furniture.Donaldson previously directed paranoid thrillers No Way Out and The Recruit, so this isn't too much of a stretch for him and would, we're guessing, come behind The Day They Stole The Mona Lisa on his To Do list.*Better than »

Mid-Week Movie News Wrap Up - April 30, 2009

30 April 2009 12:07 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Another week means another wrap up.

This week:

We Tell No One about a new remake; Hollywood decides to tell us about The Day They Stole The Mona Lisa; Wolverine’s Danny Huston is beyond the Poseidon adventure; Maria Bello and Craig T. Nelson are Company Men and Amanda Peet Travels with Jack Black.

1. Miramax will produce a remake of hit French thriller Tell No One.

The original film saw a French doctor discover that his dead wife may be alive - don’t get funny -  I know that would mean she’s not really dead but get over it.

The film sounds like a 1990’s Hollywood thriller starring Michael Douglas or Harrison Ford (that’s not a bad thing). Jurassic Park producer and Spielberg protégé Kathleen Kennedy will produce the film.

The original film was based on a novel by Haralan Coben.

Roger Donaldson to Direct 'Thomas Crown Affair' Circa 1911

29 April 2009 12:35 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Roger Donaldson most recently directed The Bank Job and has directed such films as the Tom Cruise starrer Cocktail, No Way Out with Kevin Costner and The Recruit starring Al Pacino and Colin Farrell. Now, Variety reports he is headed back to the director's chair to film an adaptation of the Seymour Reit book "The Day They Stole the Mona Lisa." The book centers on the theft of the world's most famous painting from the Louvre in 1911. It was missing for more than two years before an Italian carpenter named Vincent Perugia showed up with the painting in Florence. The film will center on the conman who masterminded the theft. This is an interesting idea, and I am curious as to where the intrigue lies. Will it play out as a Thomas Crown Affair kind of film only set in 1911? If so that may actually be interesting depending on the approach. »

Mona Lisa heist

28 April 2009 3:57 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

Director Roger Donaldson's filmography is all over the place -- No Way Out, Cocktail, Species, Dante's Peak, Thirteen Days -- but his next project seems to line up with his most recent one, the surprisingly fun Statham flick The Bank Job. Donaldson is adapting Seymour Reit's book "The Day They Stole The Mona Lisa," which rather bluntly describes the plot. The Phoenix Pictures film revolves around a conman and the theft of the famous Leonardo Da Vinci painting, which was... »
