‘Bad Boys For Life’ Isn’t Dead Yet, According To Producer Jerry Bruckheimer By Jack Giroux/Sept. 4, 2017 11:00 am EST A year or two ago, the future of Bad Boys was looking extra bright with two sequels scheduled for release and writer-director Joe Carnahan (The Grey) at the helm. But he left the director’s chair on Bad Boys For Life, which was once planned to come out this year, then postponed to January 2018, and then scheduled for November of next year before its release date was scrapped altogether....

Anglos and Anglophiles rejoice as every Friday I’ll be bringing you a round up news, links and coverage specific to the motion picture comings and goings here in the UK....

‘Idiocracy’ Returning To Theaters For 10th Anniversary By Ethan Anderton/Sept. 21, 2016 12:30 pm EST This election season has been something else. There has been so much nonsense and stupidity thrown around in this intense political climate that many have pointed to the fact that Mike Judge’s cult favorite comedy Idiocracy predicted that this kind of thing would eventually happen. In fact, there were supposed to be some Idiocracy-themed political ads that would have went after candidate Donald Trump, but they were axed by 20th Century Fox, and you can probably guess why....

‘Lowlife’ Review: A Dirty, Bloody Crime Saga Starring A Luchador [Fantasia Film Festival] By Alex Riviello/July 26, 2017 4:00 pm EST Rarely does a film live up to its title as well as Lowlife. Equal parts absurd comedy and surrealist bloodbath, it’s a shocking and often-hilarious story of a bunch of derelicts told over a few days in Los Angeles. You know you’re in for a rough time when the film starts with an apparent ICE agent bursting into a motel room in the dead of night and grabbing all the undocumented immigrants inside....

‘Star Trek Into Darkness:’ 15 Things We Learned About The Sequel While Visiting Bad Robot By Germain Lussier/Dec. 12, 2012 9:00 am EST The Bad Robot offices are what your film company would look like if you owned one. Old movie posters and cool art decorate the walls. Props are strategically placed in the hallways. Offices are adorned with cool toys and images. There are two gorgeous outdoor spaces to chill in and it even has a secret name on the outside....

‘The Punisher’ Trailer Features Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle Doing His Best John Wick By Jacob Hall/Aug. 18, 2017 7:30 am EST I’m not saying John Wick is the only emotionally fraught vigilante who’s allowed to dramatically smash concrete with a sledgehammer in a scene of violent catharsis, but this particular slice of imagery from the first official The Punisher trailer demands the comparison. The first teaser for the upcoming Netflix series premiered at the tail end of The Defenders, which arrived on the streaming service early this morning....

A Horror Newbie Gives The Genre A Chance With ‘It’ By Hoai-Tran Bui/Sept. 15, 2017 7:00 am EST (Welcome to The Final Girl, a regular feature from someone who has steered clear of horror and is ready to finally embrace the genre that goes bump in the night. First on the list: Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of the Stephen King novel, It.) I walked into the showing of It with a feeling of dread, making my way as slowly to my seat as I could with the hopes that I could miss a few of the inevitable horror movie trailers that would precede the Stephen King adaptation....

Armond White: “I Do Think It Is Fair To Say That Roger Ebert Destroyed Film Criticism” By David Chen/July 20, 2010 11:00 am EST New York Press film critic Armond White is well-known for his contrarian reviews (for example, panning Toy Story 3 for celebrating consumerism while praising Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen for its visual style). In the past, many have despised White for souring the Rotten Tomatoes scores of films that they love....

Details Emerge On Charlie Kaufman’s Hollywood Satire ‘Frank Or Francis’; Kevin Kline Signs On By Angie Han/Oct. 3, 2011 5:00 am EST We already knew a little bit about Frank or Francis, Charlie Kaufman’s second directorial effort after his insanely ambitious, gloriously bizarre Synecdoche, New York. Basically, we were aware that it existed, that Nicolas Cage, Steve Carrell, and Jack Black had signed on, and that the film would revolve primarily around the feud between an Internet blogger and a Hollywood director....

Exclusive Interview: ‘Fear The Walking Dead’ Showrunner Dave Erickson By Fred Topel/Aug. 21, 2015 3:00 pm EST AMC premieres the new Walking Dead spinoff show Fear the Walking Dead this weekend. Set at the beginning of the zombie outbreak in Los Angeles, Fear centers on two families, the Clarks and the Manawas. Travis Manawa (Cliff Curtis) has moved in with Madison Clark (Kim Dickens), and their respective kids don’t get along, so the zombies are seemingly the least of their problems....

Germain’s Most Anticipated Films Of 2014 By Germain Lussier/Dec. 30, 2013 11:00 am EST The movies of 2013 were great and we’re all anxiously anticipating 2015, but let’s not overlook 2014. While the upcoming calendar isn’t packed as full of blockbusters that make film fans salivate, 2014 has some pretty awesome looking movies from several of the best filmmakers in the world. It has its share of massive franchise films too and while maybe they’re not Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Terminator or Batman fighting Superman, I’ll take Christopher Nolan, Paul Thomas Anderson, Cameron Crowe, Wes Anderson, the Wachowksis and David Fincher any day....

Hail To The Chief: Grading The Impossible Choices Of Movie Presidents By Jacob Hall/March 3, 2016 10:00 am EST President of the United States looks like the worst job imaginable. Sure, you get to help shape an entire country for generations to come and play a pivotal role on the world stage, but you’re mostly tip-toeing around nuclear war, fighting off alien invasions, covering up murders, and repelling terrorists when they invade the White House....

Hunter Stephenson’s Movie Review: Wanted By Hunter Stephenson/June 28, 2008 10:33 pm EST The following review contains very minor spoilers. Not unlike applying an exact birth date to new slang, it’s difficult to gauge whether director Timur Bekmambetov (Night Watch) has invented a new language for the modern action film with Wanted. We’ve reached a point where today’s actioners are required to wear moon shoes—films like Wanted and Crank aspire to both hat-tip and one-up the Wachowski brothers’ hyperactive stylings (sans the techno white dreadlocks and Columbine coats), all the while hopping on and off the latest trends in video games, technology and comic book movies like coked-out mosquitoes....

J.J. Abrams Won’t Direct ‘Star Wars: Episode 9,’ Luke Skywalker Drew Him To ‘The Force Awakens’ By Ethan Anderton/Aug. 12, 2015 9:30 am EST A slew of new goodies from Star Wars: The Force Awakens has hit the web today, from new photos of our new heroes and villains, to juicy new details on Adam Driver’s First Order bad guy Kylo Ren. Now some details about the future of the new Star Wars trilogy have surfaced....

Jacob Hall’s Top 10 Movies Of 2015 By Jacob Hall/Jan. 4, 2016 9:00 am EST When I sat down to create my top 10 movies of 2015 list, I decided to jot down a quick list of every single movie that I felt was a contender. You know, just to get the creative juices flowing. Over 30 titles later, I realized I had to start getting picky. 2015 was one hell of a year for cinema and the rare year where major Hollywood productions often seemed to match the independent scene step-for-step....

Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards And Annie Awards Nominations Announced By Chris Evangelista/Dec. 5, 2017 7:30 am EST Every year, the wonderful world of film becomes tantamount to a team sport as critic orgs and more pick and choose winners for the best of the year. As always, it’s important to remember that award winning is subjective – just because a film you may cherish is overlooked come awards season, it doesn’t mean the film is a dud....

Marvel Studios Confirms Development Of An ‘Eternals’ Movie, Says ‘Moon Knight’ Will Happen Eventually By Ben Pearson/April 23, 2018 1:00 pm EST Just a few days ago, we wrote about a rumor that was making the rounds that said Marvel Studios was developing a film based on the Eternals, a genetically enhanced race created by Marvel Comics legend Jack Kirby. Now producer Kevin Feige has given an Eternals movie update and confirmed that a film featuring those characters is in active development – potentially being eyed as a part of the studio’s upcoming Phase 4 slate....

Rumor: Guardians Of The Galaxy Ride Coming To EPCOT? By Peter Sciretta/June 29, 2016 9:30 am EST Last month a rumor began to circulate that Disney was planning to redo Disney California Adventure’s Twilight Zone Tower of Terror as a Guardians of the Galaxy ride. As ridiculous as that sounded, we had heard the rumblings from enough sources to believe that Disney Imagineering was considering it at the very least. A new rumor claims that Disney is trying to bring the Guardians of the Galaxy to Walt Disney World Resort in EPCOT’s Future World....
