DVD Review: ‘North By Northwest’ 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray

26 November 2009 10:00 AM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

One of the most visually stunning, action packed, clever and suspenseful of all Alfred Hitchcock movies, his 1959 masterpiece North By Northwest finally gets the Blu-ray treatment it deserves. Featuring a terrific remastering with lots of great supplemental material and beautiful packaging the movie really shines and Warner Bros. has clearly pulled out all the tops to bring this classic film to a new generation of audiences.

Just in case you’re not familiar with this Hitchcock masterpiece, it stars Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, James Mason and a young Martin Landau in a story featuring one of Hitchcock’s signature conceits: the wrong man. Grant’s Roger Thornhill, mistaken for superspy George Kaplan by a group of sinister agents led by James Mason’s Phillip Vandamm, is taken to a county house, forceably intoxicated and almost murdered. He barely manages to escape with his life, mostly due to his high »

Silver Surfer Movie (Sort of) Happening [Updated]

25 November 2009 4:42 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

[Update: Silver Surfer isn't as dead as first reported. See post for details.]

The last significant update we heard on the proposed Silver Surfer movie was last summer when director Alex Proyas said he’s definitely not working on the project, emphasizing that he’d never work with Fox studios again.

Since then, we have found out that Fox is pushing forward with the Fantastic Four reboot and that it would feature an entirely new cast. What does that mean for the Silver Surfer spin-off many were hoping for? Well, it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Writer J. Michael Straczynski recently spoke with Collider last week and touched on the subject, saying that the not-so-hot reception to Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer made the studio put plans for the Silver Surfer character on hold.

 

Straczynski’s script has been done for a while and is in the hands of Fox, however it’s tied into the last Fantastic Four movie »

J. Michael Straczynski Says 'Silver Surfer' Script Stalled, Reveals Story Details

24 November 2009 8:22 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »

“Babylon 5” creator and noted comic scribe J. Michael Straczynski said his “Silver Surfer” script is in limbo at Fox thanks to the lukewarm response received by “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.”

“What happened was when ‘FF2’ didn’t do as well as they hoped it would do, it caused them to call into question a ‘Silver Surfer’ movie,” noted Straczynski in an interview with Collider during last weekend’s “Ninja Assassin” press junket. “The script that I wrote picked up right where ‘FF2’ left off. So if they do a ‘Silver Surfer’ film down the road, it’ll have to be its own separate things.”

Straczynski added, “It was definitely adult fare. I wanted to tell the origin of the Surfer and get into that whole thing.”

Last month, actor Doug Jones (“Hellboy”) expressed his desire to reprise his role as the Silver Surfer even though the »

New ‘Season of the Witch’ Trailer

21 November 2009 7:14 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

A new full-length trailer has appeared online for the upcoming Nicolas Cage-starring fantasy adventure-thriller, Season of the Witch. If you only come to Screen Rant for your movie news then you might not have heard of or seen much from this movie but there was a short teaser trailer (a sort of Halloween sneak-peek) that surfaced not long ago and we now have the new full-length trailer to make up for it.

Season of the Witch stars Nicolas Cage as, “a 14th century Crusader who returns with his comrade to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.”

 

The film is directed by Dominic Sena, who’s worked with Cage before on the remake of »

Trailer: Season of the Witch

21 November 2009 4:43 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Season of The Witch is scheduled for release in March 2010, and I am completely indifferent about it. Whilst I do not think it looks completely terrible, it definitely does not look very good to me. This doesn’t surprise me though seeing as how director Dominic Sena has a track record of mediocre-to-bad films, such as his Gone in 60 Seconds remake (also starring Nicolas Cage), Swordfish, and most recently the critically panned Whiteout. Joining Nicolas Cage in Season of The Witch are Ron Perlman (Hellboy), little-known British actress Claire Foy, and Stephen Graham (Snatch), with Christopher Lee occupying a smaller role.

Watch the trailer and decide for yourself whether you’ll be anticipating Season of The Witch or not.

Full-Length Trailer for 'Season of the Witch'

20 November 2009 4:21 PM, PST | GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news »

Season of the Witch looks like it could be a pretty effective Dark Ages action movie...were it not for Nic Cage. There are things Cage can do really, really well, and in fact, he's getting his best notices in years thanks to Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, which opens today in some cities.

However, he looks suspiciously out of place here, along with Ron Perlman, as the only Americans in 14th century Europe, who are providing a kind of police escort to a witch believed to be responsible for the Black Plague. Witch though she may be, history will prove that she has nothing to do with the plague. Thanks, science.

But as I said, it looks like it has a lot of pieces in place, and the witch - Claire Foy - might be one of those surprising little breakout performances. But Perlman and Cage should »

The Pull List Comic Reviews: ‘S.W.O.R.D.’, ‘Punishermax’, ‘Strange’ and More

12 November 2009 12:00 PM, PST | The Flickcast | See recent The Flickcast news »

Welcome to another edition of The Pull List Comic Reviews! We’ve got a lot off good issues to get through, so let’s get to it. As always, Warning: Spoilers Ahead.

Pull Of The Week:

S.W.O.R.D. #1 – Marvel Comics – $3.99 Us

Writer: Kieron Gillen

Artists: Steven Sanders, Jamie McKelvie

Score: 9.0

Spinning out of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday’s seminal Astonishing X-Men run, S.W.O.R.D. is the new title focusing on the organization entrusted to ensure that alien invasions are kept to a minimum. The Sentient World Observation and Response Department’s co-commander, Abigail Brand, has enough on her plate as it is, but having Henry Peter Gyrich – yes, That guy – as your co-commander simply can’t be a good thing.

After making a name for himself with the critically acclaimed Phonogram series, Marvel thought that writer Kieron Gillen would be able to handle the launch of a new, »

Martyn’s Top Ten Vampire Films

11 November 2009 7:43 AM, PST | FilmShaft.com | See recent FilmShaft.com news »

The vampire has been a key figure in folklore, literature, television and cinema. Its popularity, at present, has never been so high. It is easy to see the appeal: immortality and sex. Since death is the fate that awaits us all, a creature that we invent and imbue with an indeterminate lifespan, captivates the collective imagination like no other. Due to sexual liberalism and relaxed censorship of the 1960s, the erotic sensibilities inherent in the mythology were allowed to fruition in cinema. What once was implied, could now be shown in all its sexy glory (see the films of Jean Rollin). Gothic horror and romanticism may be the classic home of the vampire, but in cinema, they have found a new place to spread wider-reaching nightmares.

In recent times, the everlasting monster has been tamed. Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight Saga saw them turn into something akin to vegetarians and teen heart-throbs, »

Guillermo del Toro Talks ‘Hobbit’ Monsters [Updated]

9 November 2009 11:09 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

[Update: Word is that del Toro himself will be playing a creature in the film!]

Guillermo del Toro (director of Hellboy and Blade II) dished to Total Film in a 10-page Q&A about his forthcoming movie adapted from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.  For those of you who somehow missed the phenomenon of Peter Jackson’s Lord of The Rings Trilogy, The Hobbit is a prequel to The Fellowship of the Ring (aka the first movie in Lotr), also written by Tolkien.  There’s been some excitement around the question of what del Toro will do with the monsters in The Hobbit and he had this to say about the most anticipated beast in the bunch, Smaug, the dragon who sleeps on the vast treasure sought after by the film’s lead, Bilbo Baggins:

“I think one of the designs I’m the proudest of is Smaug. Obviously he took the longest. Early in production I came up with a very strong idea that »

'The Hobbit' Director Guillermo Del Toro Talks Smaug The Dragon, Story Concerns

6 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Yesterday, we posted some of Eric Ditzian's interview with Sir Ian McKellen, who plays the wizard Gandalf in the "Lord of the Rings" and upcoming "Hobbit" movies. In one of the more compelling bits, the actor revealed that the scripts for the two films with feature plotlines culled from other J.R.R. Tolkien sources.

McKellen wouldn't elaborate any further than that, but a recent interview Guillermo del Toro gave to TotalFilm may shed some additional light on what the Gandalf actor was referring to. "We are respecting the structure established by Professor Tolkien because the order of the adventures in 'The Hobbit' is well known to generations and generations of kids," the director said. "You don’t want to be moving stuff like that." So what's new?

"We will be integrating Gandalf’s comings and goings [into the script] because he does disappear in the book quite often," he continued. "So, as opposed to the book, »

Guillermo del Toro Talks Creatures of 'The Hobbit'

6 November 2009 1:06 AM, PST | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »

Director Guillermo del Toro has recently discussed the visions he has for the creatures to be seen in "The Hobbit". To Total Film, he opened up about the work he did for the dragon Smaug, the spiders of Mirkwood, the Wargs and others, saying "The way I phrased it to Weta, I said we would keep the DNA in the same gene pool as the Rings trilogy, but that we would generate a different type of character."

"For example, in the trilogy most of the creatures are brutish or inarticulate. In The Hobbit, the creatures speak: Smaug has beautiful lines of dialog; the Great Goblin has beautiful lines of dialog; many creatures do," the 45-year-old went on explaining. "So we had to design them with a different approach because you are not just designing things that are scary."

The Academy Award-nominated filmmaker added further, "I also wanted some of the »

Pull Of The Week:

Lobo: Highway to Hell #1 (of 2) – DC Comics – $6.99 Us

Writer: Scott Ian Artist: Sam Keith

Score: 8.5

You’re sitting there, asking yourself “How in all that is holy is Lobo: Highway to Hell the Pull of the Week?” Believe me, I’m asking myself that very same question. You see I’ve never dug Lobo. I’ve read a good chunk of his various issues over the years and I’ve never seen the attraction to the character, but seeing as variety is the spice of life, I figured I’d give this a shot. »

'The Crow' Remake Starts Casting

2 November 2009 9:25 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »

The following seems like a non-story, but things have been quiet around the planned reboot of The Crow lately, so I figured, why not remind people it’s actually happening?

According to The Geek Files over at Coventry Telegraph, executives at Relativity Media are excited about the script turned in by director Stephen Norrington, and the project has entered the casting stages. The Crow, for those unfamiliar with the property, revolves around a rock musician murdered with his girlfriend; he returns from the dead one year later, seeking revenge on those responsible.

Originally a graphic novel, Alex Proyas directed the 1994 movie version starring Brandon Lee as the titular character. Three movie sequels and a TV show followed, but by 2005’s The Crow: Wicked Prayer, the series was going direct-to-video.

When interviewed, Norrington hinted his version of The Crow would be realistic and almost documentary-like. This would be a significant contrast from the gothic, »
