Is it better to be a good man or a great one? The question at the center of OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL is deceptively simple but the theme is an important one. Sam Raimi (SPIDER-MAN, DRAG ME TO HELL) gets back in the director’s chair after a short hiatus with a return to a [...]

Admittedly, horror films are not my cup of tea, although I did enjoy last year’s CABIN IN THE WOODS (click the link to read our review) immensely, though that wouldn’t have been the case if Joss Whedon hadn’t been involved. With the remake of the 1981 film EVIL DEAD on the horizon, a new trailer [...]

There were three years between the second movie of the trilogy and SPIDER-MAN 3. Apparently, that gave director Sam Raimi enough time to pack everything into his final installment, including the kitchen sink. It was just too much. There was more than one main villain; three if you count Harry’s (James Franco) ongoing pursuit of [...]

SPIDER-MAN 2 has all of the elements that fans would expect from the second installment of a well-known superhero adventure: a girl he can’t love, a villain he can’t defeat, a personal choice he can’t make and the promise of a third installment that the viewing audience can’t ignore. Although the sequel moves at a [...]

In 2002, Marvel finally had the opportunity to challenge the success of DC’s movie adaptations of their caped crusader and the guy who was able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. A most beloved comic book superhero was about to web-sling into Hollywood, leaving a trail of broken box office records in his [...]

After clearly not learning his lesson the first time, Ash heads back into the woods to yet another dusty old cabin where he and his friends wake the dead a second time, this time losing his girl and a hand in the process. Seriously bro, try Vegas next time. When I was a kid just [...]

Bruce Campbell (probably best known for his roles in ARMY OF DARKNESS and on televisions Burn Notice) recently “tweeted” that he will be joining the cast of the upcoming Sam Raimi film OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL. He said, “I. Am. In. Oz. Sam Raimi refuses to tell me what character I will portray. Just [...]

Posted by: Zack Bruce The tales of the EVIL DEAD remake have been spinning for over a year now. Sam Raimi has been itching to make another classic gorefest and Bruce Campbell is always up for talking about the legendary Ash. Ready your boomsticks because it looks like there’s finally some movement on this. Bloody [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Nothing against James Franco, but I was much more excited for OZ, THE GREAT AND THE POWERFUL when Robert Downey Jr. was attached to star. I’m not sure if it’s that I’m a big fan of Downey Jr., or if I’m neutral on Franco, but nothing about this project seems to [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Veteran actress Rachel Weisz appears to have boarded the upcoming prequel OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL which will be directed by Sam Raimi. It’s funny how this worked out as Raimi originally wanted Hillary Swank to portray the role of the older wicked sister witch who tries to bring her younger [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant After her portrayal of bad girl ballerina in last year’s BLACK SWAN, Mila Kunis has been somewhat of a hot commodity in Hollywood. She was recently approached to star in two films, first AKIRA which is an adaptation of an anime classic that Warner Bros. is pulling together with the Hughes [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Sam Raimi’s film OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL has been undergoing some serious casting changes. First Robert Downey, Jr. was attached to star as the young wizard with an over-the-top flair who is swept away on his hot air balloon to the land of Oz. He dropped out and then Johnny [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m still disappointed that Sam Raimi won’t be doing SPIDER-MAN 4. I really thought he’d give us a great film after being frustrated with SPIDER-MAN 3. But he’s moving on to bigger and possibly better things and has just signed on for EARP: SAINTS AND SINNERS. Earp was originally a comic [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant When it was suggested a while back that Robert Downey Jr. was in talks to play the Wizard in the simmering prequel to THE WIZARD OF OZ, titled OZ, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL, a lot of people got really excited. It seems like a project made for Downey. But the question [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Hot off the announcement that they’d be scrapping the planned SPIDER-MAN 4 with Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, Sony today announced that Marc Webb will officially be directing their new Spider-man franchise. Webb, whose only previous work of note at this point is the wonderful 500 DAYS OF SUMMER, will start [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m a little devastated about this news. I’m not completely upset that Sony is getting a new director, but I’m really angry that they’re starting over. It’s too soon and I think there’s still stories that need to be told before we start rebooting the whole thing. And get the kid [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I can’t stand posting rumors, but this one might be too good to ignore. Movieline is reporting that John Malkovich is currently in negotiations to star as The Vulture, while Anne Hathaway is looking to star as Felicia Hardy. Comic fans will note that Felicia Hardy eventually becomes The Black Cat, [...]
