ON THE ROAD follows the adventures of a young writer named Sal Paradise (Sam Riley, CONTROL) as he follows his free-spirited and wreckless best friend Dean Moriarty (Garrett Hedlund, TRON: LEGACY). Traveling across country during the late 1940′s, Sal encounters numerous experiences and meets a variety of different people who influence his thoughts about religion, [...]
Looks like Rachel Weisz will be joining Robert Pattinson and Viggo Mortensen in the upcoming film MAPS TO THE STARS from director David Cronenberg. This is a project that has been in the works since 2006, and now that there are three relative heavy hitters attached it just might get made. This is how David [...]
You can’t help but be amazed by how fast news travels these days. Production on THE TWO FACES OF JANUARY started today and within hours, we have our first official still from the film. DRIVE writer Hossein Amini is making his directorial debut based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith (who also wrote THE TALENTED [...]
With all the news about Peter Jackson’s upcoming film THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOUREY, it’s almost weird to not be reporting anything about Viggo Mortensen since most people (or maybe it’s just me) associate Viggo Mortensen with Middle Earth. However, Viggo Mortensen is still keeping busy even though he won’t be visiting The Shire this [...]
Another trailer for the Walter Salles film ON THE ROAD, based on the novel by Jack Kerouac, has been released and it really feels like a rehashing of everything we’ve already seen, but this time with some narrative and jazzy music. However, we do get to see a few more clips of Viggo Mortensen and [...]
A new, short international trailer for ON THE ROAD has been released but there is still no release date attached. From director Walter Salles, ON THE ROAD is based on the Jack Kerouac novel of the same name. As with all Kerouac books, the plot is a bit disjointed and free-spirited but this one basically [...]
The upcoming film ON THE ROAD, which is based on the novel by Jack Kerouac, will be rolling into theaters sometime this year (there’s still no release date for the United States). So to keep fans interested, a few more photos have been released. Below you can see some photos of Kristen Stewart, Garrett Hedlund, [...]
Fans have been waiting a long time to see a trailer for the Jack Kerouac big screen adaptation of ON THE ROAD and I’m not sure this trailer is going to excite anyone that’s a fan of the book. But to be fair, adapting a Kerouac novel is just as tough as adapting anything by [...]
Just when I’m starting to like Zoe Saldana for her part in films like STAR TREK, she goes and does something like COLOMBIANA and then I go back to questioning whether or not she’s leading lady material. But with a starring turn opposite Bradley Cooper in THE WORDS and of course, STAR TREK 2, she [...]
The first photos from ON THE ROAD were released over a year ago, but to date, we still haven’t seen a trailer, nor do we have a firm release date. The film’s Facebook page (it’s very existence should be a good laugh for you Jack Kerouac fans) has updated a handful of new pictures, most [...]
When he’s not prancing around the silver screen as the caped crusader in Christopher Nolan’s Batman films, Christian Bale can usually be counted on to do a challenging, smaller character piece. So it’s no surprise that he’s signed on to star in OUT OF THE FURNACE (at one time called THE LOW DWELLER), which will [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant One film that’s burning up the early film festival circuit is David Cronenberg’s A DANGEROUS METHOD. The film has a great cast, including Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender and Viggo Moretensen and focuses on the relationship between Sigmund Freud (Mortensen), Carl Jung (Fassbender) and Jung’s patient Sabina Spielrein (Knightley). I’ve been following [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant For those of you that don’t care much about movie posters, know that for just about any movie poster ever printed, the international version of the poster is almost always better than the US version. I’ve asked various PR firms why this is the case and even a movie poster designer [...]
by Brad Sturdivant I’ve been looking forward to this July 4th weekend for quite some time now. No, it’s not because I’m looking forward to eating hotdogs and potato salad with a group of old friends, it’s because the Extended Edition of the LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy hit Blu-ray this past Tuesday and that [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant David Cronenberg doesn’t always hit home runs, but he makes movies that have a very distinct, sexual tone to them and when it works, it usually works very well. His latest film, A DANGEROUS METHOD looks like he’s managed to capture the sexuality of the story and in the process, bring [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Since everyone who was involved in Peter Jackson’s THE LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy appeared to be coming back to THE HOBBIT (if they were intended to have a role), I still find it surprising when an actor is confirmed because I just assumed that they would be coming back. However, [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Uh-oh, looks like one of the two Snow White films is having a little trouble nailing down a male lead. First Viggo Mortensen left SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN and now it’s been reported that Hugh Jackman has dropped out of negotiations as well leaving our two damsels (Kristen Stewart and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Ever since Viggo Mortensen backed out of the role of The Huntsman in Universal’s upcoming SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, I’m sure the studio has been eager to find a replacement. Looks like they will offer the role to Hugh Jackman (WOLVERINE) which may work out well since THE WOLVERINE is [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Viggo Mortensen has dropped out of yet another high profile Hollywood film and has left the filmmakers behind SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN in a bit of a bind. First time director Rupert Sanders looked like he was going to have quite a cast with Kristen Stewart (still riding the Twilight [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Zack Snyder is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film SUCKER PUNCH, so he has been doing interviews left and right to promote his film. It’s only natural that people would ask about his other project, the reboot of SUPERMAN (which could be called SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF STEEL, [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Warner Home Video has finally confirmed that THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY, starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler, will be released on Blu-ray in a 15-disc set with extended editions, on June 28, 2011. Each movie will be split into two-discs and will [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It has been confirmed that Kevin Costner will play Jonathan Kent, the father of adopted child Clark Kent, in the upcoming Zack Snyder reboot SUPERMAN (which may be called MAN OF STEEL but that’s not confirmed). Snyder stated in the press release that, “Kevin will be able to communicate the quite [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant For awhile we’ve heard that Kristen Stewart would be playing the innocent Snow White in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, but today it appears that she is officially in final negotiations- which basically means it would take something major to get her off the film. The fairy tale adaptation will be [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Diane Lane has been cast in the upcoming reboot of SUPERMAN from director Zack Snyder. She will join the Man of Steel to be played by Henry Cavill and possibly Kevin Costner who is up for Jonathan Kent and Viggo Mortensen who is circling the role of General Zod. Lane and [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant As fast as you could say “Holy Kryptonite!” casting is being put into place for the upcoming SUPERMAN reboot from director Zack Snyder. Earlier this week we found out that Kevin Costner was circling a role that we speculated was of Jonathan Kent, Clark Kent’s father, (we were so right, that [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The battle of the Snow White films rages on, and this time Relativity Media has swooped in with some big news. First, they have officially landed Julia Roberts as their Evil Queen and second, they have set a release date for the film. Oh, and the release date is six months [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Even though all the media has been reporting about Kristen Stewart’s negotiations for the upcoming Universal film SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, her other project ON THE ROAD hasn’t been getting as much attention. The film is based on the book by famous beatnik Jack Kerouac and follows a young man [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Just a couple of days ago we reported that Kristen Stewart was looking to become Snow White in SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and now we can officially report that she is indeed in negotiations. Technically, things could still fall through but both parties want this to happen so its safe [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Universal Studios is working on adapting the famous fairy tale Snow White into a feature film to be called SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN, and they are looking hard at Kristen Stewart to portray the fair maiden who is tracked down by the evil queen. Other actresses including Emily Browning, Riley [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Christian Bale is now in the mix to play the male lead in the upcoming Ron Howard film (well, it’ll be in theaters in 2013) THE DARK TOWER. He joins a couple of other actors in Javier Bardem (who was just nominated for his role in BIUTIFUL) as well as Viggo [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant One of the big Hollywood projects right now is THE DARK TOWER based on the Stephen King series that will be turned into not only three films, but with a television series that link the films together. Ron Howard is set to direct the first film and the first season of [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Paul Giamatti is in talks to star alongside Colin Farrell and Marion Cotillard in the David Cronenberg thriller COSMOPOLIS. The film follows a husband and wife during a 24 hour period where he cheats on his wife, loses all of his money and is stalked by a couple of bad guys. [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Check out the photos below which are from the upcoming film A DANGEROUS METHOD, starring Keira Knightley, Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender and directed by David Cronenberg.

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I feel like I’ve been reading about Kristen Stewart starring in ON THE ROAD for so long that I just assumed filming was underway and the cast had been set. It wasn’t until today that I realized the main role hadn’t been cast yet. But all of that has changed now [...]
Everyone has their own definition of “horror”, with the word manifesting itself into a deranged serial killer or a fierce monster in most Hollywood films. For me, true “horror” is when a film paints a scenario that weighs on you and damages your psyche. In this case, THE ROAD managed to do just that; create [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant After winning the Oscar on Sunday night for Best Supporting Actor, it was only natural that Christoph Waltz would have so many job offers that he couldn’t possibly take them all. In this case, David Cronenberg’s THE TALKING CURE is getting denied as Christoph will move forward with WATER FOR ELEPHANTS [...]
