Some films just sneak up on you. You don’t expect much, but then you are pleasantly surprised by the results. THE DETAILS is one such case. I had not heard of this picture before watching it. The cast though was impressive, so it definitely piqued my curiosity. If you are looking for a television show [...]

Baz Luhrmann is a visionary artist that definitely has a unique stamp on his work. STRICTLY BALLROOM was light-hearted fun, ROMEO + JULIET was an unexpected breath of fresh air in a played out genre, and MOULIN ROUGE was an underrated crowning achievement that rejuvenated and reinvented not only musicals but film in general. Unfortunately, [...]

I hadn’t thought of it since I started writing this, but I think this new international trailer for THE GREAT GATSBY must be the 6th or 7th trailer for the film we’ve seen. And once again, we get a lot of hip music, fast editing and plenty of Leonardo DiCaprio looking very intense, Tobey Maguire [...]

Last week, we got individual character posters for Baz Luhrmann’s THE GREAT GATSBY. We also got another trailer for the film, featuring new music from Beyonce and Andre 3000. And today we get a look at the final one-sheet for the film, featuring some PhotoShopped cut-outs of Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and the rest of [...]

When I first learned of the rumor that Jay-Z was going to be scoring the music for Baz Luhrmann’s THE GREAT GATSBY, I was a little shocked. But then I sat and thought about it and realized that it’s not such a stretch for a famous musician to cross over into composing scores for movies. [...]

It was such a bummer when we found out that Baz Luhrmann’s next film THE GREAT GATSBY was being pushed back for six months, but I guess the bright side is that we’ll be seeing images, clips and trailers for a while longer. Today we’re getting a shot of Leonardo DiCaprio who is holding Carey [...]

In November a dark comedy called THE DETAILS will be coming to theaters starring Tobey Maguire and Elizabeth Banks, and I’m sad to admit that this completely missed my radar. THE DETAILS follows a chain reaction that starts with a family of raccoons living underneath the sod in Jeff and Nealy Lang’s (Tobey Maguire and [...]

The title would be much cooler if it read; “Tom Hardy, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey Maguire are teaming up to star in a movie about animal trafficking”, but for now, we’ll have to settle for them producing a movie together. The trio of actors are all pooling their finances together to produce a “TRAFFIC-style” film [...]

Tobey Maguire appears to have come back into the limelight as yesterday it was announced that he would star in and produce the post-apocalyptic film Z FOR ZACHARIAH, and now we’re learning that he has signed on to star in director Ed Zwick’s upcoming film PAWN SACRIFICE. Tobey Maguire’s recent collaboration with Baz Luhrmann for [...]

Ever since he pulled off the Spider-Man outfit, Tobey Maguire has been in very few films the last couple of years. Tobey Maguire did star in BROTHERS and THE DETAILS and we’ll see him in Baz Luhrmann’s film THE GREAT GATSBY next year, but for the most part he’s been flying under the radar picking [...]

Boo hiss!! It was just recently announced that Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming period drama THE GREAT GATSBY was being pushed from Christmas 2012 to Summer 2013. I guess this means I’ll just have to root for Leonardo DiCaprio to win that Best Actor Oscar next year, though the film won’t be as fresh in the Academy’s [...]

Ang Lee has finally released a trailer for his upcoming adaptation of LIFE OF PI and upon first viewing, the trailer looks really impressive. Maybe it’s just because of the concept, but I’d like to think it’s because of that tiger on the boat. Who doesn’t love a big jungle cat in a film? Overall [...]

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 [...]

We’re getting another look at Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY. Although it gives us nothing more than Leonardo DiCaprio looking a little crazy while on the phone, it does give us some more nice shots of those great costumes that we associate with Baz Luhrmann productions. It’s nice to see Leonardo DiCaprio [...]

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 [...]

The internet has been so focused on Leonardo DiCaprio‘s performance in Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED that I’ve almost forgotten he has another high profile movie on the way this year, reteaming with his ROMEO & JULIET director Baz Luhrman in THE GREAT GATSBY. And actually, DJANGO UNCHAINED and THE GREAT GATSBY come out within a [...]

Even though his resume is relatively short, Baz Luhrmann is probably in my top five list of favorite directors. His films are always imaginative, over the top and are just plain fun to watch. Even if you don’t really enjoy the story or actual film (i.e. AUSTRALIA) the experience itself is just breath taking. Oh, [...]

Posted by:Zack Bruce THE GREAT GATSBY was required reading while I was in high school. I had to then re-read it again when I got to college. The first time I read the novel, I wasn’t really fond of it. Then my English professor sophomore year told us that a second reading was required because once you [...]

by Nathan Swank When I was in 8th grade, a girl had her friends ask my friends if I liked her. You can imagine my elated glee upon this news and I swiftly asked her if she would “go with me.” Now this phrase in 8th grade basically means we will talk on the phone [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Since his film PRECIOUS: BASED ON THE NOVEL PUSH BY SAPPHIRE debuted to rave reviews a couple of years ago, Lee Daniels has been a hot commodity in Hollywood. Unfortunately, he can’t seem to get any projects off the ground. His civil rights project SELMA fell through, but THE PAPERBOY is [...]

He was rumored to have the lead in THE BOURNE LEGACY all but locked up, but that eventually went to Jeremy Renner. Then he got the lead in Katherine Bigelow’s KILL BIN LADEN, which [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Lee Daniels received much warranted praise after his debut film PRECIOUS, but has found getting a follow-up off the ground to be rather challenging. It seems the director has been attached to several films since the release of PRECIOUS, but hasn’t managed to get any of them made. But Cannes is [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We haven’t heard much from Tobey Maguire the last few years. After starring in BROTHERS in 2009, the former Peter Parker has been unusually quiet. But he’s just signed on to take a role in Ang Lee’s long gestating and overly ambitious film LIFE OF PI. The film follows an Indian [...]

Posted by:Kristy Sturdivant It’s hard for people to identify with movie stars most of the time, but when we hear that actors and actresses are trying to get roles in films they are not up for, it makes them seem a little more like real people (just a little). Bradley Cooper wants a part in [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One of the big projects that has been simmering on the back burner is Baz Luhrmann’s adaptation of THE GREAT GATSBY. So many great actors and actresses have been attached or interested because they know that Mr. Luhrmann’s visions are grand and beautiful and surely a joy to participate in. However, [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After SPIDER-MAN 4 fell through for Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi, we haven’t heard much from Tobey as far as what he’s going to do next. Aside from Spidey, Maguire tended to gravitate more towards the artsy, dramatic roles and he seems to be keeping with that trend with GOOD PEOPLE, [...]

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 [...]

Steven Knight (EASTERN PROMISES) is already working on the script. Again, these things have to be taken with a grain of salt. It could be announced [...]
