Mark Johnson won an Oscar twenty years ago for producing Rain Man, but his latest project was a challenge even for such an experienced producer. After all, how often are you faced wrangling a human and non-human cast on a daily basis? And how do you pick a favorite character in the film when you’re stuck between a gallant mouse and a wise beaver? As the producer of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Johnson worked hand in hand with director Andrew Adamson to bring the fantastical world to life yet again. ... read more |

The Incredible Hulk will get the award for the most confounding silver screen appearance when it bursts onto screens on June 13. Though 2003's Hulk had its fans, it was generally seen as a failure. Usually movies (*cough*The Dark Knight) keep buzz building by introducing new elements in subsequent trailers, but The Incredible Hulk's latest trailer has done nothing but re-hash the last trailer. ... read more |

OK, I know there’s been lots of chatter bemoaning the fact that Judd Apatow’s takeover of comedy has meant replacing the hunks of yesterday with the schlubs of tomorrow. But are we really so far gone that we actually replace Johnny Depp with Jonah Hill? Well, maybe. Hill is developing an adaptation of 21 Jump Street, the late-80s TV show... read more |

Whether it’s just a cameo or some major part in the film is unknown. Magneto takes place pretty far in the past, and it is a younger version of the Beast character that they saw, so whether it’s a big role or a small one it seems highly unlikely Beast aka Hank McCoy will be played by Kelsey Grammer again. Still, it’s exciting to know that even though they’re dead as the team... read more |

If you thought Optimus Prime looked good before, just wait till you see him in 3D. Transformers 2 hits theaters, it’ll show up in 3D. Whether that means the entire thing will be in 3D or if we’ll just get select scenes the way we have with most 3D blockbusters, remains to be seen... read more |

It should come as no surprise that Moore is returning to the same tired old tricks which earned him his notoriety in the first place. Paramount Vantage and Overture Films announced today that they will co-finance Moore’s next film, a sequel to Fahrenheit 9/11... read more |

Without the box office success of Lord of the Rings, it’s quite likely that Disney never would have dipped its toe into the world of Narnia movie making. Ironically, without LOTR author J.R.R Tolkien, it’s quite likely C.S. Lewis never would have written The Chronicles of Narnia... read more |

Steve Martin and Diane Keaton kind of defined on-screen couples for me when I was about 8, and the Father of the Bride movies were popular repeat rentals in my house. And they do so well together! In the intervening 15 years or so, neither has done too well for themselves—Keaton is stuck in bland comedies ... read more |

National Lampoon announced a little while ago that they would start distributing their own films, and stop diluting their brand with straight-to-DVD crap and the occasional straight-to-theaters crap. Now they’ll be releasing Homo Erectus come June, and it seems that promise about no longer releasing crap was, well, a load of crap... read more |

The first trailer for Woody Allen’s Vicky Christina Barcelona is here. In it, Scarlett Johansson makes out with just about everything, especially Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz. The former is extremely hairy, the latter is, admittedly, extremely enjoyable viewing... read more |
