Writing about Amanda Seyfried and Charlize Theron starring in what will presumably be a raunchy comedy is almost as weird as writing about Seth MacFarlane hosting the Oscars. But both are really happening as Amanda Seyfried is the latest to sign on to MacFarlane’s comedy Western, A MILLION WAYS TO DIE IN THE WEST. The [...]
After last summer’s successful raunchy comedy TED, it’s no wonder that upcoming Oscar host Seth Macfarlane would be handed the reigns in delivering another feature film. His next project is so very close to snagging Oscar winner Charlize Theron, who is said to be in final negotiations to star in A MILLION WAYS TO DIE [...]
The upcoming MAD MAX: FURY ROAD starring Tom Hardy has itself had a hard, rocky road. There were delays due to scheduling conflicts, severe flooding in Australia that ruined the landscape that was to be used, as well as some casting changes, etc. So it is with great joy that I can report that filming [...]
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the fairytale adaptation SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (click the link to read the review) will be available on Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Digital Copy combo in two versions, the theatrical cut as well as an all-new 132-minute extended cut, on September 11th, 2012. Directed by Rupert Sanders, SNOW WHITE AND [...]
In a movie full of laughable scenes, the one I’ll always remember from TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON came during the final end battle where the camera stopped on a frozen Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (with her mouth open, no less) while cars and buildings exploded in the background. It was all the proof I needed that [...]
In 1979, Ridley Scott created one of the most horrifying movies by utilizing strong characters, a uniquely monstrous villain and the quietness of space in ALIEN. The film brought on numerous sequels, some good some bad, but all had an element of wonder and fear because of the rich depth of fear the original ALIEN provided. [...]
Many of us were surprised that SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN managed to open to $56 million and I’m sure the executives at Universal were among the most surprised. Which might be why they’re so eager to move forward with a sequel to a film that doesn’t really call for it. After suffering an embarrassing [...]
Mirror Mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all? Kristen Stewart as the innocent and inspiring Snow White? Not so much. Charlize Theron as the Bewitching Evil Queen? Getting hotter. The Seven or Eight Dwarves? Funny but not quite. Chris Hemsworth as the axe wielding, surly Huntsman? Ding Ding Ding! My wife and I [...]
There were a few tidbits of news surrounding SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN this past week. Talks of a sequel started to heat up with the idea being to focus on Chris Hemsworth’s Huntsman character. And in an interview with an Australian news magazine Film Ink, Kristen Stewart got all the Twilight fans riled up [...]
This is actually the second time I’ve written this article because the first time, I couldn’t stop complaining about how Kristen Stewart can’t close her mouth. Seriously, is something wrong with her? I want to know why she never closes her mouth. But the point of the article is not to draw attention to Kristen [...]
You know who would be a great Oscar host? Jimmy Kimmel. He seems to be in touch with what’s going on in the world and has the respect of most of Hollywood (judging by the laundry list of talent he got for this spoof). After the Oscars last night, he premiered this spoof trailer, basically [...]
The Facebook page for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has been lit up the last couple of days with new images from the film. We saw the pics below in the trailer, but now we get a better look at a strange creature that will apparently pop up at some point. At this stage in [...]
We haven’t gotten many images of Kristen Stewart in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, which I still find odd since she’ll probably be the one person that will sell the most tickets. But today we get another look at Stewart as Snow White (courtesy of the film’s FaceBook page), although I don’t remember Snow White [...]
The battling between the Snow White films rages on as one can’t seem to make the news without the other swooping in behind it. Today we got news that MIRROR MIRROR (the lighthearted one with Lily Collins, Armie Hammer and Julia Roberts) was changing its release date to March 30th, two weeks later than originally [...]
The second trailer (really, it’s more like a “sneak peak”) for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has debuted over at the film’s Facebook page and although most of this appeared in the first trailer, there’s something about this version that’s better. I still find it incredibly odd/funny that after two trailers, they refuse to let [...]
By Nathan Swank I firmly believe we have already seen a few of the Oscar contenders this year in TREE OF LIFE, MONEYBALL and THE HELP. However, there are at least ten Oscar picture potentials still to be released. And no matter how much I’m excited for MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL or even SHERLOCK HOLMES: [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Most people seem excited about Ridley Scott revisiting his science fiction roots with the ALIEN prequel (kind of) film PROMETHEUS. We don’t know much about it at this point, only that it takes place before the events in the original ALIEN film, but won’t actually be a true prequel. But today [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I was brainstorming a list of Oscar movies I’m looking forward to this awards season and one movie that I had completely forgotten about is the Jason Reitman directed and Diablo Cody scripted YOUNG ADULT. I guess it’s because the film has been absent from the festival circuits, but it feels [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Filming continued on SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN in London last week and below you can see several images of stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth going through some scenes. I think even the most die-hard K-Stew fans have to admit that the movie’s trailer didn’t look very good, but hopefully [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Traditionally, whenever you get an official banner, one-sheet or stills from a film, a movie trailer is not that far off. Such is the case with SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, where we got an official banner the other day and today we get the first trailer from the film. I [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce I’m still wondering if a million different Snow White adaptations are completely necessary. Won’t people get worn out by the same story told a million different ways? I mean, it’s still Snow White, you aren’t breaking any ground there. I’m sure that one of them will stand out of the pack [...]
THE CIDER HOUSE RULES is a beautifully shot coming of age story about an orphan boy growing into a man and experiencing life beyond the protected walls of the orphanage for the first time in his life. Dr. Wilbur Larch (Michael Caine) runs a somewhat…unique…hospital that caters to both women who want to deliver their [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Here’s another case of the movie recently came out and someone has already decided to do a remake of it. Now these aren’t exactly remakes. They are Americanized versions. Nevertheless, I’d still like to see the originals and show them appreciation. I don’t get why filmmakers/studios won’t just let the one [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant One of the “Oscar-y” films this year that is still flying under the radar is Jason Reitman’s YOUNG ADULT. I say “Oscar-y” because Reitman received Academy recognition with both JUNO and UP IN THE AIR, star Charlize Theron won an Oscar for MONSTER and writer Diablo Cody won for writing JUNO. [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant With her next soon-to-be blockbuster (TWILIGHT: BREAKING DAWN PART 1) opening in less than 100 days, Kristen Stewart looks to be back at work on her next film SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN. Spies have been busy capturing KStew in full on battle gear while she is shooting scenes for the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Jason Reitman’s last two directorial efforts, JUNO and UP IN THE AIR, have done very well around awards season, the first of which put screenwriter Diablo Cody on the map. He’s gone back to the well and reteamed with Cody on the film YOUNG ADULT. The film stars Charlize Theron as [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce Charlize Theron is a wonderful actress. In fact, she may be in my top ten as far as favorite actresses go. After looking at this still from YOUNG ADULT, I’m wondering how this is all going to play out. Not because of Theron but because the film was scripted by Diablo [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Some new banners and promotional photos have been released for the upcoming Rupert Sanders directed film SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN which stars Kristen Stewart, Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Sam Claflin, Lily Cole and Sam Spruell. You may recall that this is the second Snow White film that will be released [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The race is still on to see who can make a better (and faster) Snow White film first. Will it be Universal’s SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, which stars Kristen Stewart and Chris Hemsworth? Or will it be Relativit’s THE BROTHER’S GRIMM: SNOW WHITE, which will star Lily Collins and Armie [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Casting for SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has been a roller coaster lately. It doesn’t seem like the filmmakers can convince an actor to take on the titular male lead, with everyone from Viggo Mortensen to Hugh Jackman having turned it down. They’re hoping Thor himself and future superstar Chris Hemsworth [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN has had one heck of a time casting a male lead as both Viggo Mortensen and Hugh Jackman have passed on the project. So Universal and director Rupert Sanders are going down the Hollywood list of leading men who could help Kristen Stewart‘s Snow White escape [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Uh-oh, looks like one of the two Snow White films is having a little trouble nailing down a male lead. First Viggo Mortensen left SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN and now it’s been reported that Hugh Jackman has dropped out of negotiations as well leaving our two damsels (Kristen Stewart and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Ever since Viggo Mortensen backed out of the role of The Huntsman in Universal’s upcoming SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, I’m sure the studio has been eager to find a replacement. Looks like they will offer the role to Hugh Jackman (WOLVERINE) which may work out well since THE WOLVERINE is [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Viggo Mortensen has dropped out of yet another high profile Hollywood film and has left the filmmakers behind SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN in a bit of a bind. First time director Rupert Sanders looked like he was going to have quite a cast with Kristen Stewart (still riding the Twilight [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Ridley Scott’s upcoming sci-fi film PROMETHEUS (which was formerly known as the ALIEN prequel, but has nothing really to do with the ALIEN franchise except for a “thread of DNA” that will connect it) has landed another cast member in Logan Marshall-Green (DEVIL). Marshall-Green is set to play a character named [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant For awhile we’ve heard that Kristen Stewart would be playing the innocent Snow White in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, but today it appears that she is officially in final negotiations- which basically means it would take something major to get her off the film. The fairy tale adaptation will be [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant I think it’s safe to say we all knew that MAD MAX, the franchise that made Mel Gibson famous, was one of those things that was just never fully going to die off. In fact, there are two more films in the works called MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and MAD MAX: [...]
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 [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The battle of the Snow White films rages on, and this time Relativity Media has swooped in with some big news. First, they have officially landed Julia Roberts as their Evil Queen and second, they have set a release date for the film. Oh, and the release date is six months [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Just a couple of days ago we reported that Kristen Stewart was looking to become Snow White in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and now we can officially report that she is indeed in negotiations. Technically, things could still fall through but both parties want this to happen so its safe [...]
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”. [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Universal Studios is working on adapting the famous fairy tale Snow White into a feature film to be called SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and they are looking hard at Kristen Stewart to portray the fair maiden who is tracked down by the evil queen. Other actresses including Emily Browning, Riley [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The idea of a prequel to the 1970′s film ALIEN has been tossed around a lot recently and today we have confirmation that it is dead (in a sense) and has been transformed into a film entitled PROMETHEUS. The film will still be directed by Ridley Scott and he has described [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Their first collaboration (JUNO) was so successful that it’s no wonder director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody would choose to work together on a new film. This time, Reitman will be taking the reigns of YOUNG ADULT, the new script from Cody about a young adult novel ghost writer that [...]
by: Brad Sturdivant and Kristy Sturdivant He Said/She Said is a bi-weekly column where a male and female reviewer from the site team up to debate the merits of a particular film. HE SAID I feel that THE LEGEND OF BAGGER VANCE is one of the most misunderstood films of the 90’s. Maybe it’s the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant George Miller is moving right along with MAD MAX: FURY ROAD and just announced the casting of Nicholas Hoult, who most recently appeared in A SINGLE MAN. Other than his character’s name being “Nux”, we don’t know what part he will be playing in the film. Hoult joins a cast that [...]
THE ROAD is based on the popular best selling novel by the same name written by Cormac McCarthy. Film is a different medium and should never be compared to the book but after seeing THE ROAD I’m curious to read the novel and hopefully capture the greatness that was just missed. THE ROAD is so [...]
Posted by: Sturdy Word out of Australia is that the long rumored fourth installment in the Mad Max franchise, titled FURY ROAD is set to begin production early next year. Franchise creator George Miller is aiming to bring major studios back to Australia after recent high-profile projects abandoned the once popular location. Of course, this [...]
