Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced that the action drama and remake RED DAWN, from director Dan Bradley and starring Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, will be available in a Blu-ray combo pack on March 5th, 2013. RED DAWN follows a group of [...]
In Hany Abu-Assad’s (PARADISE NOW) THE COURIER, Morgan is, well, The Courier, a messenger man known by only that moniker. That’s supposed to make him mysterious. So, too, is his self-description of his profession, “I deliver things.” So does Skip, the 17-year-old driver at Pizza Hut, but that doesn’t make him any more cryptic or [...]
Another short trailer for the upcoming remake of RED DAWN has been released, and this one is a bit more serious than the previous trailers we’ve seen. With the “Star Spangled Banner” blasting in the background, the audience is given the impression that things are a little more dire than we might have thought in [...]
Another new photo for the RED DAWN remake has been released and this time it looks like Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Connor Cruise (yes, that is Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s son) and Josh Peck are doing some reconnaissance on the enemies that have taken over their hometown. Again, not a great photo but the [...]
Finally a trailer for RED DAWN has been released and it doesn’t look that bad. Admittedly I never saw the original, but I can kind of see why this film was remade only because it’s a much fresher version that will get some of the younger generation in the audience. Plus it’s coming out during [...]
The new RED DAWN poster has arrived and hopefully not too far behind will be a nice juicy trailer featuring Chris Hemsworth and company. Shockingly the poster is a little dull, but quite honestly I don’t know how you could make it better. You have your band of renegades (presumably led by Chris Hemsworth) carrying [...]
Remember way back when it was announced that the 1984 film RED DAWN was being remade with Chris Hemsworth (THE AVENGERS) and Josh Hutcherson (THE HUNGER GAMES) and then we heard nothing? Well, looks like the studio is finally gearing up for the release of the film with a couple of new images. Why was [...]
Perhaps it’s because we have so many crime shows on television, but I feel a lack of great homicide stories in film today. Therefore, I was fairly curious about a serial killer mystery starring a handful of great up and coming actors who have been popping up everywhere – Sam Worthington (AVATAR, CLASH OF THE [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A new trailer for TEXAS KILLING FIELDS from director Ami Canaan Mann has just been released and it looks very dark. The film takes place in Texas and follows a local homicide detective named Jake Souder (Sam Worthington) who teams up with a cop from New York named Heigh (Jeffrey Dean [...]
As movie and horror aficionados know, the name Hammer before a movie used to mean something. From the 1950s through the 70s, “Hammer horror” became its own genre unto itself, a lurid and exciting stew of classic monster movies (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc.), surprisingly high-octane casts (often featuring great British thespians Peter Cushing or Christopher Lee), [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Is it possible that the upcoming DIBBUK BOX may turn into more than just a run of the mill horror film? Last week Jeffrey Dean Morgan boarded the film and now we learn that Kyra Sedgwick has come on board as well. Not that these two are necessarily in the tip-top [...]
Posted by:Kristy Sturdivant Jeffrey Dean Morgan is slowly picking up steam in Hollywood since his role in 2009′s WATCHMEN. His next project will be a horror film called DIBBUK BOX and is set for a release this coming Halloween season (October 28th to be exact). According to Jewish lore, The Dibbuk Box (or Haunted Jewish [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant So back in 1984 there was a little film called RED DAWN. It followed a group of teenagers in a town who team up to stop an invasion from Soviet soldiers. Apparently this is some kind of cult classic that I wasn’t really aware of (I think I missed a lot [...]
Posted by: Nathan Swank Mickey Rourke will add yet another film for an upcoming project as he has been cast in the action thriller THE COURIER. Also cast in the film is Til Schweiger, better known as Sgt Hugo Stiglitz in INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. I found him to be quite charismatic as the brutal German-killer, so [...]
Posted by: Nathan Swank After years of struggling as bit parts in television, Jeffrey Dean Morgan has really exploded into film. Last year, he had a breakout role as The Comedian in WATCHMEN. This year, he had the lead in THE LOSERS. In the next year, he will be staring in RED DAWN, THE RESIDENT, [...]
I really wanted to like THE LOSERS. Maybe it’s my affinity for the lesser known comic books or maybe the A-Team-like storyline connected with me, but I really, really wanted to like THE LOSERS. Unfortunately, the whole film felt like that friend you used to have, but now you avoid because you’ve grown up and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has announced that THE LOSERS, starring Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans and Jeffrey Dean Morgan, will be coming to Blu-ray July 20, 2010. Although it has a somewhat similar plot to the upcoming summer films THE A-TEAM and THE EXPENDABLES, THE LOSERS held its own and had a [...]
THE LOSERS has an unfortunate lead in. The previews leading up to the showing included THE A-TEAM flick and THE EXPENDABLES, two films that share the plot line of a team of wisecracking military professionals encountering seemingly insurmountable odds to blah blah blah. We’ve heard the plot before. However, the uphill battle for THE LOSERS [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I have to say I’m a little taken aback at this week’s box office numbers. I think there are three surprises. First, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON grabbing the top spot after losing it a couple of times is surprising only because you don’t usually see a film lose the top [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant You should probably learn Jessica Chastain’s name now, because by this time next year, she will be a household name and you’ll be able to look back and say you remembered her before she was famous. The actress has just signed on to star in the thriller THE FIELDS as another [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Jeffrey Dean Morgan seems to be everywhere these days and now, he’ll be starring in the upcoming thriller UNBLINKING EYE. The thriller, to be directed by Michael Bassett, is about a detective that retired after a run-in with a serial killer and then gets confronted by an ambitious journalist. When they [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant You don’t know how many times I want to call Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Javier Bardem. Don’t they look like twins? I guess that’s not exclusive news, but the resemblance is uncanny. Anyway, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is taking a shot at leading man status in the upcoming film THE LOSERS. I’m not [...]
The WATCHMEN movie was actually famous for a long time before it became a reality for being an idea that couldn’t ever be made into a film. Too complicated, too many special effects, too convoluted of a plot, were just some of the reasons. But when Zack Snyder announced he was going to give it [...]
