Admittedly, this picture is awful. But since we have taken an active role in sharing all of director Bryan Singer’s tweets (the guy is clearly very excited), I thought I might as well share this one as well. After all, Wolverine does seem to be the the majority favorite when it comes to X-Men. So [...]

Yesterday, we found out that the great Michael Fassbender agreed to play the title character in Shakespeare’s MACBETH. Today Fassbender gets his Lady MacBeth in Academy Award winner Natalie Portman. Both recently finished shooting together in an untitled Terrence Malick (THE TREE OF LIFE, TO THE WONDER) film. Since it’s Terrence Malick, one or both [...]

I think every talented actor has to do a Shakespeare movie at some point in their career as a sort of right of passage. Given that Michael Fassbender is one of the more talented actors working today, it makes perfect sense that he’d tackle Shakespeare and so he’s looking to sign on to star in [...]

Bryan Singer loves revealing set pictures on his Twitter feed. He just sent out the first look of Halle Berry returning as Storm in X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Obviously, it’s not the best looking picture since it’s coming from his phone. The outfit seems a little different and her hair appears a little different than [...]

I’m not sure how many of you follow Bryan Singer on Twitter, but he likes to keep his fans updated. The director just posted the first look at X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Sure it’s just an onset photo, probably from a camera phone, of Sir Patrick Stewart as old Professor Charles Xavier (opposed to [...]

I have nothing against Jude Law. In fact, I think he’s one of the most underrated actors in Hollywood and he’s one of the few guys that turns in consistently great performances. However, he’s not Michael Fassbender and although Jude Law is a decent replacement, I can’t help but be less excited about JANE GOT [...]

You know that problem superhero movies have when they try and add too many characters to a movie and the whole thing seems like too much? I can’t help but shake that feeling with X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST. Bryan Singer is returning to direct the sequel to X-MEN: FIRST CLASS and basically, he’s combining [...]

Michael Fassbender is one of those actors that can play any type of character, though he seems to lean more towards the dramatic roles. In this new image from the upcoming film (which is actually also a drama) FRANK, Michael Fassbender will play the lead of a pop band who never goes anywhere without his [...]

Maggie Gyllenhaal has been quiet lately. Her feel-good 2012 film, WON’T BACK DOWN came and went with barely a whimper, HYSTERIA was quietly released in 2011 and I don’t think anyone saw it. You have to go back to 2009 to find CRAZY HEART, where she starred opposite Jeff Bridges to find a role she [...]

Since breaking onto the scene with ANIMAL KINGDOM, Joel Edgerton has been putting together quite a resume. He starred in WARRIOR, which was one my favorite films last year. This year, he had the ill-received THE ODD LIFE OF TIMOTHY GREEN, but came back strong with what might be the Oscar favorite in ZERO DARK [...]

Looks like Scoot McNairy will be joining the upcoming cast of director David Michod’s film THE ROVER which already has Robert Pattinson and Guy Pearce on board. THE ROVER is being touted as an “existential western” that takes place in the future in the Australian outback. The story will follow a man (Robert Pattinson) who [...]

Michael Fassbender has no shortage of upcoming projects on his to-do list, but now it looks like one of his films has made some significant casting changes. According to reports, it looks like Colin Firth has replaced Sean Penn in the film GENIUS, which until now I had not really heard too much about so [...]

It’s hard for a director to revisit a franchise after being away from it for over 20 years. George Lucas found that out with Star Wars, Steven Spielberg learned the lesson with Indiana Jones and Ridley Scott learned the lesson with Alien. When you couple that with outrageous fan expectations, the odds were stacked against [...]

I’m kind of getting the feeling that Terrence Malick is only making his latest film so he can hang out with musicians. The eccentric director has been accused of asking actors to appear in his films before, just so he could hang out with them and given how much filming he’s done at the Austin [...]

If you’re getting confused as to what films Terrence Malick is filming and when they’re supposed to be released, don’t feel bad. We went 20 years between DAYS OF HEAVEN and THE THIN RED LINE, but now it seems he wants to release a movie a year and film them all back to back. So [...]

Last week it was rumored that Michael Fassbender might join Natalie Portman in Lynne Ramsay’s upcoming Western film JANE GOT A GUN.

Of the many film genres that have made up Hollywood, the one that has almost consistently produced mediocre to awful films is the video game adaptation genre. Sure some of them are watchable and fun (RESIDENT EVIL series and maybe the first TOMB RAIDER) but most of them are just laughable and shouldn’t have been [...]

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. [...]

I’m always interested in film as art though I rarely find art-house films an entertaining diversion. I have also found as I have aged that dramas, in general, aren’t the movies where I spend my entertainment dollars. Incredible and dynamic as they may be, even at their most authentic, dramatic movies just aren’t as fun [...]

Michael Fassbender is everywhere these days, but it’s hard not to be impressed with what he’s done since starring in Tarantino’s INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. He already had a decent resume before that, appearing in 300 and of course, dominating the screen in HUNGER, but it after Basterds, Michael Fassbender has really taken off. Ignoring the unwatchable [...]

Although there were a few Oscar snubs this year, Michael Fassbender not getting a Best Actor nomination for SHAME was hands down the biggest disappointment of them all.

The difficult thing about the Academy Awards is that it only lists the top five performances in a category. With such a subjective field as acting, it is inevitable people’s favorite performances will be left off the ballot. I actually liked all the nominees this year with only a couple of undeserving exceptions. These are [...]

Even though X-MEN: FIRST CLASS didn’t make as much money as its predecessors, it did something much more valuable; restore fanboy faith in the franchise. So it’s no surprise that Fox is moving full steam ahead on a sequel and an important step in the process was to convince Matthew Vaughn to return to direct, [...]

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 [...]

Approaching a comic book story, especially one with characters as beloved as the X-Men, is an unenviable proposition. Especially if tasked with re-casting characters originally presented on film by the amazing Sir Ian McKellan (LORD OF THE RINGS) and venerable Patrick Stewart (STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION). How do you breathe new life into characters [...]
