“Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.” That’s the mantra of Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas), a Wall Street power player with money on his mind and spilling all over. He has the best suits. He has the newest (and biggest) cell phone. He has the nicest art in his office. He has the [...]

We’ve heard a lot about Oliver Stone’s SAVAGES with studio-killer Taylor Kitsch, but mostly just casting announcements and who’s in and who’s out of the film. Well, today, we finally get a peek at the finished product and I’ll just say I’m cautiously optimistic. Oliver Stone is one of the most inconsistent directors around, but [...]

It has been a while since Oliver Stone did anything that I was excited about, but with his latest film, SAVAGES, the director seems to be getting back to his edgy roots. The story of a trio of free-spirited, drug dealing firends that get recruited by a powerful drug cartel and then find themselves stealing [...]

Watching PLATOON again, over 25 years since its initial release, I’m reminded at how different war movies are in 2011 than they were in 1986. Today’s war movies are filled with hope and overcoming extreme circumstances. Even when things are bad, most of today’s war films focus on something positive and show the power of [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant SAVAGES in one of those ensemble, highly publicized films that has so many characters and so many parts to cast that it becomes tiring keeping up with all the announcements. Just yesterday, we told you that John Travolta, Uma Thurman and Blake Lively had joined the cast and today we learn [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I feel almost guilty for saying this, but I’ve completely lost faith in Oliver Stone. He’s just had too many bad movies lately and PLATOON seems like ages ago. So it’s with cautious optimism that I discuss his upcoming project SAVAGES. He’s doing what he can by lining up one heck [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant ‘Gossip Girl’s’ Blake Lively is slowly finding her foothold in Hollywood. With roles in last year’s critically acclamied THE TOWN and in this summer’s GREEN LANTERN, she’s sure to be an actress that will have at least a little longevity. We are now learning that Oliver Stone wants her to play [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Three young actresses are up for the role in Oliver Stone’s upcoming flick SAVAGES. Blake Lively, Teresa Palmer and Abbie Cornish are all reading for the part of O (which was originally going to go to Jennifer Lawrence before she boarded THE HUNGER GAMES). Whichever of these three young ladies wins [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Director Oliver Stone is looking at Taylor Kitsch to star with Aaron Johnson in his upcoming film SAVAGES. After X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE, Taylor Kitsch has been relatively quiet, so this would be a nice return for the young actor. The sometimes-great, but usually not-so-great Stone is also said to want Olivia [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant After Jennifer Lawrence‘s break-out performance in WINTER’S BONE (which was pretty amazing), she has been getting offers for really good films ever since. Right now, the Academy Award nominated actress is in early negotiations to star in Oliver Stone’s upcoming film SAVAGES. The film is an adaptation of the novel by [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Baz Luhrmann, one of the great directors of this generation (and on my personal top five directors of all time) is debating whether or not to bring THE GREAT GATSBY to audiences in 3D. Mr. Luhrmann is a fan of the 3D technology but has been warned by another great director, [...]

When it was announced that WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS would be a follow-up to the 1987 original, there were definitely some skeptics. People were wondering if the movie would still have any relevance now, the need for greed in one of the worst economic crises. However, this film doesn’t follow the same exact path [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant With the star power behind it and a familiar name to piggy back on, it’s no surprise that WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS took the top spot at the box office this weekend. But only pulling in $19 million isn’t anything to brag about, but it is the best opening of [...]

In 2008, the financial crisis in America unraveled, leaving dozens of companies bankrupt and millions of families without jobs or financial security. That serves as the backdrop to the sequel, WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS. Leading the charge this time is Jake Moore (Shia LaBeouf), a young, hungry stock broker that’s looking for revenge on [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Looks like the Broadway musical ‘Memphis’ is becoming a bit of a hot commodity in Hollywood these days. The Tony award-winning film has attracted the attention of both Zac Efron and Justin Timberlake, along with director Oliver Stone. Although everything is pure speculation at this point, all three stars have been [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The full length trailer for Oliver Stone’s WALL STREET 2: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is out and this time, we get more of an idea about the plot. It looks like Gekko is out for some kind of revenge and he’s taking his daughter’s fiancee down with him. Aside from a horrible [...]

Posted by: Sturdy Above is the first picture of Douglas and LaBeouf from the upcoming sequel: WALL STREET 2. In it, Shia LaBeouf plays a Charlie Sheen-like character from the first one and Michael Douglas reprises his role as Gekko. When the sequel was first announced, I was under the impression that LaBeouf and Gekko [...]

W is a film that will elicit a lot of opinions and thoughts before people even see it, mainly because of the topical subject matter it covers. Even now, with Obama in office and America heading in a different direction, people can’t stop talking about our 43rd President. Knowing Oliver Stone’s distaste for Mr. Bush [...]
