Straight from Cinema Blend's fiercely independent entertainment reporters. Francis Ford Coppola To Write And Direct Years-Spanning Coming Of Age Drama Francis Ford Coppola has already done a pretty good job capturing the life of an Italian-American family in the mid-20th century, having directed one of the greatest trilogies in cinematic history. But now, 23 years after the release of The Godfather Part III, he's ready to explore the subject once again - only this time it won't be a gangster story. ![]() Vince Vaughn Has 533 Children In First Teaser For Delivery Man As the trailer explains, Vaughn will be playing a guy who donated sperm a long time ago, but due to some mix up at the sperm bank ended up fathering 533 children. Oh, and and some of them are suing to find out who he is. I’m not sure how accurate the legal portion of the plot is, but it seems a bit off. ![]() Star Trek Into Darkness Spoilers, With Damon Lindelof And Bryan Burk Want to know how they chose the film's villain? Want to know just how much they think about Trek fans and what they've been demanding of the sequel ever since the first one came out? (Spoiler: they care a lot). Want to hear about the decision-making that went into one of the film's biggest scenes? ![]() The World's End Trailer Reveals A Pub Crawl Leading To Chaos The world's ending, let's go to a pub! If you think that sounds a bit like Shaun of the Dead, you're not entirely off track. The World's End comes from Shaun of the Dead writer/director Edgar Wright. As the trailer indicates, the story starts out looking like a road-trip/Hangover-style story about a bunch of old friends getting together for a good old-fashioned pub-crawl. And then things go all Doctor Who, as they discover that the town has been taking over by robots. ![]() Sylvester Stallone Seeking 'Young Sigourney Weaver' For Expendables 3 As I see it, the tweet above can be read two ways. First: Sigourney Weaver is a badass action heroine; we need someone like her but younger (read: hotter) for this male-audience-driven franchise. Or two: Sigourney is on board and we need someone who can encapsulate her unique blend of strength and smarts to play a younger version of her character for flashback purposes (or something.) ![]() First Look At Reese Witherspoon In West Memphis Three Drama Devil's Knot While it would have been awesome – if anticipating anything about a film with such ugly subject matter at its core can be awesome – to have seen Echols (James Hamrick), Baldwin (Seth Meriwether) and Misskelley (Kristopher Higgins) in character, what we have is Reese Witherspoon. ![]() Barry Levinson To Direct Loose Adaptation Of Bei La's Romance Novel The Cursed Piano After taking a considerable break from directing feature films, Barry Levinson is getting busy again. Last year he directed the found footage horror film The Bay; he's currently in pre-production on Black Mass, a biopic about notorious Boston gangster Whitey Bulger starring Johnny Depp, and now he's picked up yet another project for the future. ![]() The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones Moves Up A Couple Days When a movie is moved to a Wednesday release date, it typically means one of two things: either it's trying to get a head start on a holiday weekend, or it's trying to catch people's attention during a weekend where there are many competing films vying for the audiences' attention. ![]() These Smurfs 2 Posters Are Awfully Smurfing Generic The two non-Smurfs are Vexy (Christina Ricci) and Hackus (JB Smoove), two Smurf-like Naughties created by Gargamel. Only Smurfette knows the way to turn them into real Smurfs, so they plan to make her as naughty as they are. ![]() Endless Love Remake Sets Perfectly Fitting Release Date Alex Pettyfer and Gabriella Wilde will play the roles made notorious by Martin Hewitt and Brooke Shields in the remake, and they are joined by co-stars Robert Patrick, Bruce Greenwood, Rhys Wakefield, Dayo Okeniyi, Emma Rigy and Joely Richardson. Get ready for a heart-filled advertising campaign complete with Hallmark tie-ins. ![]() Hunger Games' Josh Hutcherson To Star In Psychological Thriller Ape Hutcherson will produce through his JetLag Productions along with Bree Herzog’s Atomic Owl Pictures.The script was written by newcomer Jon Johnston, and will be directed by Miguel Sapochnik, whose only directorial film credit is 2010’s perfectly average Repo Men. ![]() New Man Of Steel Trailer Has General Zod On The Hunt For Superman Thus far just about all of the marketing for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel has focused on its titular hero, played by Henry Cavill, and it's not hard to see why. But for the latest trailer Warner Bros. has changed things up a bit. ![]() |
