Angelina Jolie set to direct the WWII film Unbroken

Wednesday, December 19th, 2012

It appears the directing bug has taken hold of A-lister Angelina Jolie as it’s been announced she will direct the upcoming WWII film UNBROKEN. This was a project that was going to be helmed by Francis Lawrence, but he’s going to be a little busy with a little franchise called THE HUNGER GAMES for the [...]

David Fincher won’t be directing Angelina Jolie in Cleopatra

Friday, August 24th, 2012

Looks like David Fincher will officially not be involved with the upcoming film CLEOPATRA which will star Angelina Jolie as the title character.  No confirmed word on why David Fincher won’t be directing the film but there is some speculation as to why he left. One reason could be because his schedule with Netflix’s HOUSE [...]

Angelina Jolie looks a bit elfish in a few new set photos from Maleficent

Wednesday, June 20th, 2012

Yesterday we got an official look of Angelina Jolie as the title character in the upcoming Disney fairytale adaptation MALEFICENT, and what do you know but today we’re getting a couple of set photos. To me she looks a bit like an elf from the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy but with horns, must be [...]

Angelina Jolie looks positively evil in the first image from Maleficent

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

The fairy tale theme continues in Hollywood, but this next film has a bit of a twist that will probably help the success rate. Today we’re getting a first look at Angelina Jolie as the title character in the upcoming film MALEFICENT. The image is dark and you definitely have to look at it for [...]

In the Land of Blood and Honey Blu-ray Review

Monday, April 16th, 2012

IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY explores the various relationships taking place on both sides of the early 90’s Bosnian war. It is a mildly graphic account of two people who had potential for romance before the war began; now finding themselves on conflicting sides of the spectrum. Thoughtfully crafted, this picture gives viewers [...]

Elle Fanning is looking to join Angelina Jolie in Maleficent

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

Disney’s MALEFICENT (based off the Sleeping Beauty fairytale) has been in the works for quite some time, but as directors continued to come and go, Angelina Jolie has remained attached to play the title role for years now.  So the project is always “close” to happening.  And after Jolie hinted it would be her next [...]

Angelina Jolie’s In The Land Of Blood And Honey coming to Blu-ray in March

Monday, February 13th, 2012

The few people that I know that saw IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY had really positive things to say about it.  Unfortunately, not many people got a chance to check out Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut, but hopefully the film will find a second life when it hits Blu-ray on March 27th.  The film [...]

Angelina Jolie in talks to star in a dramatic thriller from director Luc Besson

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce Angelina Jolie is pretty picky about which roles she chooses. Lately all she’s done is serious films. Well, it’s either serious or action oriented. You’ll never see Jolie in something like Big Mammas House 6. One genre I think she should get more into would be thrillers. It looks like she [...]

The first poster for Angelina Jolie’s In the Land of Blood and Honey has some blood splatter on it

Friday, November 25th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce Angelina Jolie is involved in several major causes and as a celebrity uses her powers for good. With as much as she is involved in, she takes some of the subjects that fascinate her to heart. With her directorial debut, IN THE LAND OF BLOOD AND HONEY, Jolie decided to write [...]

Gia (Blu-ray)

Thursday, November 24th, 2011

GIA is the tragic true story of America’s first super model Gia Marie Carangi.  After growing up in a broken home, Gia (Angelina Jolie) is discovered outside of a night club in Philadelphia when she was only 17-years old.  Practically over night, she moved to New York City to pursue a career with top agent [...]

Angelina Jolie to star as Gertrude Bell for Ridley Scott

Thursday, November 17th, 2011

Posted by: Zack Bruce If a role for a strong woman in history comes up in the pipeline, does Angelina Jolie automatically want to take it? Wonder Woman is a part of comic history, maybe she should try that role on for size. There’s really nothing wrong with wanting these sorts of roles but when [...]

Original Sin (Blu-ray)

Thursday, August 4th, 2011

A wealthy Cuban business man with no time for love, seeks to wed a stranger from American who he’s been corresponding with through letters.  They meet, marry and all seems well until he discovers a deception that leads to betrayal and murder. It’s hilarious that I thought for sure I’d seen this film, but as [...]

Sony moving forward with a Salt sequel for Angelina Jolie

Monday, June 6th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I was sitting here trying to come up with something to say about SALT and I was going to speculate how the newly greenlit sequel would pick up with Evelyn Salt after the end of the first one and I can’t actually remember what happened to her.  That’s how forgettable the [...]

Kung Fu Panda 2

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Big-budget sequels to popular original movies are like the children of successful parents – all too often they end up as victims of everyone else’s overbearing expectations.  Studios expect sequels to be bigger, better, and even more successful than their progenitors, even if the original movie didn’t have nearly as much demanded of it; they [...]

Angelina Jolie wants to team up with David Fincher for Cleopatra

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It was rumored a few months ago that David Fincher could board as director for the upcoming film CLEOPATRA starring Angelina Jolie but sadly it was one of those rumors that nobody has heard anything about until now. In a recent interview Ms. Jolie stated about the possibility, “It’s all very [...]

Angleina Jolie and Hailee Steinfeld circling Sleeping Beauty roles

Wednesday, March 30th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The fairy tale craze lives on for at least a few more years as today we find out that there’s not one, but two SLEEPING BEAUTY films on the horizon. The first will be from Disney to be called MALEFICENT with rumors that Tim Burton will direct and Angelina Jolie may [...]

Angelina Jolie and David Fincher most likely to team up for Cleopatra

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Angelina Jolie has been attached to the CLEOPATRA film for several months now but directors have been coming and going until recently. First James Cameron was going to take on a PG-13 version of the film but ended up committing to two more AVATAR movies. Then Paul Greengrass was set to [...]

The Tourist (Blu-ray)

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

It reads like a checklist of all the classic ingredients: a hapless but good-looking hero.  A beautiful girl.  An exotic locale.  Sinister gangsters.  Interpol.  Trains.  Guns.  Five-star hotels.  Chases by car, foot and boat.  THE TOURIST boasts all of these and more, and yet – to my immense disappointment – the classic ingredients don’t add [...]

Tomb Raider reboot in works, minus Angelina Jolie

Tuesday, March 8th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It probably won’t surprise you to hear that yet another reboot is on its way, and this time is for the popular video game Tomb Raider. For those of us who care to remember, you may recall a younger Angelina Jolie taking on the role of Lara Croft in film back [...]

Jack Black, Angelina Jolie and Seth Rogen lend their voices to the new Kung Fu Panda 2 trailer

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I can’t say I was a huge fan of the first KUNG FU PANDA and I’m not sure why it received so much success.  But I’ve always been irritated by Jack Black (even in panda form) and I get even more irritated when an entire movie makes a mockery of martial [...]

Charlize Theron joins Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It’s official that Charlize Theron has joined the cast (which pretty much consists of Michael Fassbender and Noomi Rapace) of the upcoming film PROMETHEUS to be directed by Ridley Scott. We don’t yet know which role Theron will take, either Elisabeth Shaw or Vickers, so there is still a chance that [...]

Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie bringing The Tourist to Blu-ray

Monday, January 31st, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that the thriller THE TOURIST, starring Johnny Depp, Angelina Jolie and Paul Bettany, will be released on Blu-ray in both a single disc and BD/DVD combo pack on March 22, 2011. The film follows Elise Clifford-Ward (Jolie) a woman who is being followed because her [...]

Michael Fassbender joins Noomi Rapace in Ridley Scott’s Prometheus

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Michael Fassbender has apparently been confirmed to join Noomi Rapace in Ridley Scott’s upcoming film PROMETHEUS, which was originally going to be a prequel to ALIEN but turned into something different. Fassbender will star opposite Rapace in a story we really don’t know much about, except that it involves “Alien DNA”. [...]

Somewhere, The Tourist and The Back-Up Plan Lead The Ten Worst Movies of 2010

Saturday, January 1st, 2011

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Making a list of the worst movies in a particular year is much harder than making a list of the best movies of 2010.  This is true mainly because there’s more competition when it comes to bad movies and if you’re lucky, there’s usually about 15 good movies to choose from.  [...]

Phillip Noyce will not direct Angelina Jolie in Salt sequel

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Even though a sequel to SALT is not a certainty, director Phillip Noyce has let it be known that he will not direct another film about Evelyn Salt. He says in a statement: Those 3 [alternate] Blu-ray cuts [of the film] represent just about everything I have to offer on Everlyn [...]

The Tourist and The Chronicles of Narnia disappoint at the box office

Sunday, December 12th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It seems like Hollywood executives are surprised that THE TOURIST and THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE VOYAGE OF THE DAWN TREADER underperformed at the box office, but I think the films performed right on track to most fans expectations.  The first Narnia film was new and exciting, but each subsequent film [...]

The Tourist

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

After leaving THE TOURIST, I had to ask myself if the last 20 minutes of a film can make up for a very lackluster first 80 minutes.  Although I’m engaged in an internal debate in regards to that answer, I can honestly say that in the case of THE TOURIST, the answer is “no”.  I [...]

Harry Potter and Tangled battle it out for box office supremacy

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The weekend after Thanksgiving is traditionally the calm before the Oscar storm so to speak.  Rarely does a big film open up on this weekend and traditionally, whatever wins the Turkey Day weekend ends up winning the next weekend as well.  In this case, the battle is still brewing between HARRY [...]

First image from Angelina Jolie’s directorial debut

Monday, November 22nd, 2010

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Awhile back we posted a story about Angelina Jolie making a romantic film in Bosnia, not starring in the film but actually making her directorial debut.  Today we get a first look at the actors in her film which is not yet titled.  The movie is set during the Bosnia war [...]

Monday, October 18th, 2010

James Cameron possibly directing 3D Cleopatra epic starring Angelina Jolie

Friday, October 15th, 2010

Posted by: Nathan Swank Sony Pictures Entertainment and James Cameron are looking into producing and directing a 3D version of an epic Cleopatra story adapting from the Stacy Schiff book Cleopatra: A Life. As you may know, Elizabeth Taylor starred in the 1963 big budget CLEOPATRA. Amy Pascal of Sony Pictures is eager to get [...]

Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in The Tourist trailer

Wednesday, September 15th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I don’t know if you’ve noticed this or not, but Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are extremely beautiful people.  And much like the much hyped pairing of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in MR. AND MRS. SMITH, THE TOURIST is getting just as much attention.  But this time, we don’t have [...]

Angelina Jolie wants more love in Bosnia

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I don’t really react to all of the atrocities in current events, mainly because I suffer from numbness in hearing about various countries that are experiencing genocide or other horrible events.  It’s sad, but sometimes when we’re so far removed from those things and we hear about it so often in [...]

Andrew O’Hagan thinks George Clooney and Angelina Jolie are going to star as Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Speaking at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, Andrew O’Hagan announced that his book ‘The Life and Opinions of Maf the Dog and of His Friend, Marilyn Monroe’ was going to be adapted into a film and would be starring George Clooney as Frank Sinatra and Angelina Jolie as Marilyn Monroe.  The [...]

Salt (with Angelina Jolie)

Monday, July 26th, 2010

The best way to describe SALT is that it’s nothing you haven’t seen before, but this time a woman is doing it instead of Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Will Smith or any other spy/action movie, male mega-star.  As much as I love watching Angelina Jolie kick, punch and shoot her way through a movie, she [...]

Inception holds back Salt while Twilight: Eclipse drops out of the top five at the box office

Sunday, July 25th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The magnificent INCEPTION made it two weekends in a row by holding off Angelina Jolie and SALT.  I have to admit that I was a little worried that INCEPTION wouldn’t be received well by the masses, but I’m extremely happy I’m wrong.  Let’s hope the success of the film leads to [...]

Inception tops Despicable Me and Twilight: Eclipse at the box office

Sunday, July 18th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant It would have been one of the great tragedies of cinema if INCEPTION wasn’t number one at the box office this weekend.  But thankfully, it easily took the top spot with $60.4 million.  Even though that’s a healthy number, I’m a little disappointed by it.  It was such an incredible movie [...]

First official image of Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in The Tourist

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant A while back, we got our first unofficial look at Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp on the set of their upcoming film, THE TOURIST.  Today, we get the first official look at them from Columbia Pictures.  As far as first pictures go, I find it kind of odd.  This picture is [...]

Michelle Yeoh and Jean-Claude Van Damme join Jack Black and Angelina Jolie in Kung Fu Panda 2

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Michelle Yeoh, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Gary Oldman and Victor Garber have joined the impressive cast list of KUNG FU PANDA: THE KABOOM OF DOOM that already included Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan, Seth Rogen, Lucy Liu, David Cross and James Hong.  Gary Oldman will be voicing a peacock [...]

First pictures of Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie on the set of The Tourist

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After following Johnny Depp’s career for so many years, I almost feel bad for him for doing THE TOURIST.  We knew as soon as he and Angelina Jolie signed on that there would be rumors of an affair from day one.  Even with that, I’ve been surprised at just how fast [...]

Paul Bettany joins Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie in The Tourist

Tuesday, March 16th, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant A couple of weeks ago, there was scuttlebutt around the internet that Johnny Depp’s girlfriend, Vanessa Paradis, (question: what do you call someone you live with and is the mother of your kids, but not your wife?) supposedly demanded that Depp drop out of THE TOURIST because she was afraid Angelina [...]

Angelina Jolie and Darren Aronofsky eyeing Serena

Monday, March 1st, 2010

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We’ve been wondering what Angelina Jolie would be doing next.  She was supposedly set to star in WANTED 2, but pulled out to do the space film GRAVITY with Alphonso Cuaron.  But then we learned that she passed on that and was left without a project, which is unusual for Jolie; [...]

Angelina Jolie’s New Salt Trailer

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The new trailer for the upcoming Angelina Jolie film SALT is out and this one looks pretty cool.  Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent that’s being framed (maybe) for an assassination attempt.  You may recall that this film was originally set to have Tom Cruise in the lead, but after [...]

Johnny Depp to join Angelina Jolie in The Tourist

Wednesday, November 4th, 2009

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Johnny Depp is in talks to star along side Angelina Jolie in the upcoming film THE TOURIST.  The plot will involve Depp playing an American tourist who gets involved with an Interpol agent (Jolie) as she tries to solve a crime.  A director has yet to be named, but with Depp [...]
