Deadpool: Lamely Named Wolverine Ancillary Gets a Movie

Apparently, one of the reasons Ryan Reynolds was given the role was to spin it off into its own

Barbarella’s Boobies to Remain a Relic of 1968

Boobies, boobies, boobies, boobies, boobieeeeeeeeeees!! If you were waiting to get your sci-fi boobie fix from Robert Rodriguez’ Barbarella remake, you’ll have to go back to your Heavy Metal magazines and Jason X. Barbarella‘s been canceled. Hallelujah. If you’re unfamiliar with the whole Barbarella mystere, it was a free-lovin’ sci-fi farce starring Jane Fonda back when she was the hawtness in 1968. Out to save the galaxy, the movie’s really an excuse to have Barbarella get it on across the

Everyone’s a Basterd

It’s a new Inglorious Basterds character poster, this time with some feminine mystique… …and by mystique I mean Diane Kruger’s wooden acting (Troy!) and bad English accent (National Treasures!). Luckily, she can stick to her native German in this one as she spies for the allies in her role as Bridget Von Hammersmark– a Nazi fan-favorite actress. Apparently, the Nazis tastes in actresses was as bad as their politics. I have a feeling we’ll be posting a few more of

District 9… Again

So I’m really not trying to double post on upcoming films, but when there’s news, there’s news. And this is at least interesting… right? Right. So a week or so ago we posted the trailer for the Neill Blomkamp directed, Peter Jackson produced District 9. There’s now an updated trailer– the whole thing is is the same, but now you’re be able to see the alien (no privacy pixels) and read a subtitled translation. Apparently, this is part of a

1:31 is the Magic Number for Pixar’s Up

We keep saying it, but that’s only because it’s true: May is unleashing a whirlwind of cinematic fury– intent on booking your Fridays, bank account and eyeballs all month long. Between Wolverine, Star Trek, Angels & Demons, Terminator: Salvation and Up, May has a lineup hard-pressed to be reckoned with. As Up is at the tail-end of the month and the general public doesn’t know much about it beyond a boy scout, an old codger and a sky full of

There’s been leaks galore and a trailer to boot, but how can you really know? Well, you can get a better idea thanks to the GB eye LTC. poster company, who are selling Transformers for a bedroom wall near you. For your viewing pleasure, we’ve

Dwayne Johnson Gets His Own Submarine

So here’s the question. If Disneyland recently ripped out their 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride and replaced it with Finding Nemo, what happens if McG’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea remake is a hit? Ok, so no one cares and the question served no other point than to give me a lead-in to share news that Dwayne “The Rock is no longer cookin'”  Johnson is apparently on board the remake as the Captain Nemo. Dwayne Johnson, he of the

UPDATED: Bruckheimer Nabbed The Lone Ranger– The Lone Ranger’s Nabbed a Director

Update at end of story. Feels like Jerry Bruckheimer’s law-upholding, shiny bullet poppin’, Silver-riding Lone Ranger project has been simmering for a while (it has… it really has!). The last bit of major news was Johnny “Everyone loves him NOW” Depp’s attachment as Native-American BFF Tonto– of course, that makes me wonder where Wes Studi was when the casting call went out. Dear Wes… I miss you*. So talk about curiosity piqued when the latest humdinger about the project just
