Brooklyn's Finest gets a trailer
6 hours ago | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
The trailer for Antoine Fuqua's new film has hit the web. Brooklyn's Finest appears to cover similar ground to Fuqua's Training Day, which is no bad thing. The film follows three New York cops whose loyalties and morals are tested over the space of seven days. It looks like it could be a return to form for Fuqua after so-so movies Tears of the Sun, King Arthur and Shooter. Cheesy voiceover-man aside, the trailer shows a lot of promise, and looks like Ethan Hawke could deliver another decent performance for Fuqua. It might...

Brooklyn's Finest trailer
20 hours ago | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
For screenwriter Michael C. Martin's first produced script Brooklyn's Finest, he got quite the casting jackpot. The intertwining tale of Brooklyn cops lured in Ethan Hawke, Richard Gere, Don Cheadle and Wesley Snipes (!!), not to mention more familiar faces like Will Patton, Ellen Barkin, Lili Taylor, Vincent D'Onofrio and that guy who's on "FlashForward." The movie comes from Antoine Fuqua, who seems to be evading Director Jail since Training Day (despite King Arthur and Shooter).... »

'Precious' Director Circles 'Selma' & Antoine Fuqua's Life of Crime
18 November 2009 12:15 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »
The men behind Precious and Shooter are going back in time, according to Variety:
Having had wild success with Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire, Lee Daniels is itching to go historical for his next feature. He's in "advanced negotiations" to helm Selma, a big-buzz Civil Rights-era drama penned by Paul Webb (Lincoln). The film, which would team him with Slumdog Millionaire producer Christian Colson, focuses on the marches between Selma and Montgomery in 1965, which were the peak of the Civil Rights movement. This means that while prospects of a Martin Luther King Jr. film might be hazy, he will get some time here, one would assume -- he was one of the leaders drawn to the area where marches quickly turned to "Bloody Sunday" with force from local and state police.
And in a wholly different historic affair, it seems Antoine Fuqua and Spike Lee are getting »

Spike Lee And Antoine Fuqua To Adapt 'Miss: Better Living Through Crime'
18 November 2009 7:01 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Critically acclaimed filmmakers Spike Lee and Antoine Fuqua will adapt Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux’ graphic novel "Miss: Better Living Through Crime" for Vigilante Entertainment.
Originally published by French comic publisher Humanoids, “Miss” is a crime thriller set in the 1920s that follows an unusual partnership between two killers for hire: a poor white girl named Nola who becomes a tough femme fatale and Slim, an African-American pimp from Harlem. “Miss” was also published in the U.S. in 2002.
According to Variety, Fuqua will direct “Miss” while Lee is onboard as an executive producer along with Pierre Spengler, Fabrice Giger and Vigilante Entertainment founder Hicham Benkirane. The project is currently being shopped around to film studios.
Lee is widely known for films like “Do the Right Thing”, “Malcolm X” and “Get on the Bus,” while Fuqua’s best-known film is “Training Day” — which earned Denzel Washington the »

Better Living Through Crime For Fuqua
17 November 2009 10:56 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Antoine Fuqua, the director of Training Day and Shooter, has signed on for another crime thriller, called Miss: Better Living Through Crime.The film, based on a French graphic novel, will be produced by Spike Lee.Written by Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigoroux, Miss: Better Living Through Crime tells the tale of Nola and Slim, a white hooker and black pimp who team up together and embark on a life of crime and murder in New York at the turn of the 20th Century.Sounds very intriguing, and the period setting means this could be right up Fuqua’s street. We'd love to see Lee's take on this material, of course, but it will also be mighty interesting to see how this collaboration between the two pans out. Is this the beginning of a beautiful friendship?John Ridley, who wrote the script for the upcoming George Lucas-produced WWII flick, »

2012
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Cast: John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Amanda Peet, Oliver Platt, Thandie Newton, Danny Glover, Woody Harrelson
Running Time: 2 hrs 38 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: November 13, 2009
Plot: The world is about to end. Turns out the Mayans were right. A select few people are in on the ground work of saving the human race, while others, like Jackson Curtis (Cusack), are trying to desperately save their families from the mass destruction of the entire planet.
Who’S It For? This film doesn’t even allow you to turn off your brain. Just like 10,000 BC and The Day After Tomorrow there are enough head-scratching moments, if you want to laugh at the film. But If all you live for is special effects, I can’t stop you from seeing this.
Expectations: Who doesn’t love John Cusack? Not me. I don’t not love Cusack. Plus, I’m a »

Mark Wahlberg And Wife Expecting A Baby Girl
29 October 2009 11:06 PM, PDT | icelebz.com | See recent iCelebz news »
Mark Wahlberg and his wife are expecting a baby girl. The "Shooter" actor has revealed the sex of his fourth child with Rhea Durham, which is due next year.
The 38-year-old star said: "I'm having another girl. So I'll have two girls and two boys."
Mark and Rhea - who already have three children together, Ella, six, Michael, three and 13-month-old Brendan Joseph - are eagerly awaiting the latest addition to their family, but Mark is hoping it will be their last.
He explained: "I'm the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough. We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn't get the kind of attention I think that we all needed."

Antoine Fuqua Set To Take ‘Prisoners’
30 September 2009 10:27 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Risky Biz Blog is reporting that Training Day director, Antoine Fuqua, is in negotiations to helm Prisoners, (no longer “The Prisoners”) a film taken from a “hot spec script” written by Aaron Guzikowski. The script was said to have created a stir when it first appeared earlier this year, with high-profile actors Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg once attached to star, X-Men helmer Bryan Singer eyeing the director’s chair and a number of different studios looking to pick up the project.
However, soon after the producers of Prisoners sold the film to Alcon, reconfigured the project to have a lower budget (around the $30-40 million mark) and went forward without a cast for the time being, so that they could get things in motion faster. And it appears that the approach is working; the film is on the fast-track, and may go into pre-production shortly, with a “likely” January »

Warner Bros. Apprehends Prisoners
29 September 2009 10:55 PM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »
Warner Bros. has set Prisoners, a film that Antoine Fuqua is in talks to direct, on a fast track. The film is now in preproduction and scheduled for release on October 22, 2010. Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson of Alcon Entertainment will produce the film, which is only sparsely detailed.
What we do know is that Fuqua is a talented director — the man behind Training Day. He’s also had some duds, namely Tears of the Sun and Shooter. Writer Aaron Guzikowski is new on the scene, and the project generated buzz earlier this year as Mark Wahlberg and Christian Bale were attached to star in the film — the latter with previously slotted director Bryan Singer.
Film School Rejects described the plot of the film back in April as “the story of a desperate man trying to find his kidnapped daughter, fighting resistance from law enforcement, seeking a very real revenge against his daughter’s captors. »

Antoine Fuqua Directing Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners Spec
29 September 2009 4:37 PM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
A big change of pace for this project. Aaron Guzikowski's Prisoners started gaining buzz back in March when Mark Wahlberg was first attached. The script has been compared to Silence of the Lambs and Se7en and was one of the hottest scripts in town over the summer. The Risky Biz Blog reports today that Prisoners eventually sold to Alcon Entertainment instead of being setup at a studio. The producers reconfigured the project without a cast or director and a lower budget (around $30 to $40 million) so it could move forward quickly. Now they've brought on Training Day, King Arthur, and Shooter director Antoine Fuqua. Fuqua, who last directed Brooklyn's Finest, is currently in negotiations to direct Prisoners. The project is being fast-tracked, with pre-production set to begin shortly for a January or February shoot. Alcon is planning to release the film through Warner Brothers next October.

Asteroids Headed to the Big Screen
2 July 2009 2:44 AM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »
A big screen adaptation of the classic 80s arcade game Asteroids is in the works. According to the trades, Universal has won a four-studio bidding war to pick up the film rights to the Atari video game with Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers) on board to produce. In Asteroids, initially released as an arcade game in 1979, a player controlled a triangular space ship in an asteroid field. The object was to shoot and destroy the hulking masses of rock and the occasional flying saucer while avoiding smashing into both. As opposed to today's games, there is no story line or fancy world-building mythology, so the studio would be creating a plot from scratch. Universal, however, is used to that development process, as it's in the middle of doing just that for several of the Hasbro board game properties it is translating to the big screen, such as Battleship and Candyland.

The deal will also give Grisham the right to provide creative input, something he hasn’t always had in the past and one of the factors that has pushed »

Foreign Objects: The Sniper (Sun cheung sau)
10 June 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week in search of films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… Hong Kong! There's a brilliant scene in the upcoming Kathryn Bigelow film, The Hurt Locker, that features two snipers duelling from hundreds of yards apart. It's tense and suspenseful, but it's also intentionally slow and grueling. You'll hear more about the scene when the film opens wide this summer, but trust me that it will instantly take a top spot in the pantheon of sniper cinema. For reference, Mark Wahlberg's under-appreciated Shooter is in the top half of the spectrum while Tom Berenger's Sniper 3 is at the far other end. Somewhere in the middle sits the new film from director Dante Lam. The Sniper opens with two young cops who find themselves outnumbered in a »

Kate Mara, Clark Gregg Join Iron Man 2; And is Mad Men’s John Slattery Playing Tony’s Dad?
23 April 2009 9:13 AM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
The folks over at the Hollywood Reporter have announced this morning that Kate Mara (Shooter) and Clark Gregg have officially signed on to the production of Iron Man 2, which is currently shooting at Marvel's Manhattan Beach, California studios. They join the already solid cast of Robert Downey Jr., Mickey Rourke, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sam Rockwell, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson and Don Cheadle. Kate Mara's role is being kept under wraps for the time being, leading this reporter to believe that it is either (a) super insignificant or (b) a very recognizable comic book character that Jon Favreau is going to surprise us with. That is assuming that the beans don't get spilled over the course of the next year. Either way, Kate Mara just adds additional hotness to the project. Clark Gregg will reprise the role as Agent Phil Coulson of S.H.I.E.L.D that he played in the first Iron Man. In »
