James McTeigue, director of V FOR VENDETTA (whoo hoo), the currently-in-production NINJA ASSASSIN (Wachowskis + martial arts? Who would've thunk it?), and the good parts of THE INVASION (there were a few), is now attached to REVELATION.

Senator Entertainment is moving into production on UNTHINKABLE (not to be confused with UNBREAKABLE or UNTRACEABLE). Samuel L. Jackson will star in the film, to be directed by Gregor Jordan (BUFFALO SOLDIERS and the forthcoming adaptation of Brett Easton Ellis' THE INFORMERS).
UNTHINKABLE...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. If you own or have been in the immediate vicinity of an XBOX 360 in the last year you've probably played BIOSHOCK. If you haven't, BIOSHOCK was one of the coolest releases on any platform last year.
The game opens with an ocean plane crash. You control the one survivor as he's adrift. As the wreckage of his plane sinks he sees a small, rocky island... weirdly, there's an art deco style building.

The first seven minutes of SPEED RACER are online via relatively crappy streaming video, and multiple forms of particularly Glorious QuickTime.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm doing my best not to let these reviews bring me down. I was shopping last night and picked up some Indiana Jones toys (Belloq and Crystal Skull Indy) as well as some Dark Knight toys (damn ebayers fleecing all the Jokers out of the stores!). I was sent the new DVD box set of all three INDIANA JONES movies and have been watching the special features... RAIDERS is on right now, just finished with one of my favorite scenes, when Marion accidentally hits Indy in the face with the mirror.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I love that above image, created by Gabe Koerner, who you may remember as being one of the central figures of the Star Trek fan doc TREKKIES. It's a beautiful image, something that would be impressive to see on the big screen.

Merrick here...
A few weeks back, a ton of character images from Stephen Sommers' bigscreen plundering of G.I. JOE leaked across The Nets. They were quickly banished, but a number of character shots have now surfaced in officialer forms.
Click the character names below to jump to the sites hosting the images!

A week or two ago, we got word that SUPERBAD's Jonah Hill was in talks to play Shia's sidekick in TRANSFORMERS 2. You can find an article about it HERE.

Greetings! ScoreKeeper here gunning the car around the track in order bring you a glimpse of the musical kaleidoscope that is SPEED RACER (2008).
Being a die hard SPEED RACER fan since I was boy, I had been looking forward to seeing this film since the moment I learned Andy and Larry Wachowski entered pre-production.

...with a shot from this weekend's episode of STAR TREK REMASTERED. It's "Court Martial". This is the one in which Kirk, through a variety of machinations, is put on trial for jettisoning an Ion Pod from the ship...Lt. Commander Ben Finney (Richard Webb) still in it. 'Cept...if Finney's dead...

Breck Eisner, who brought us the troubled Clive Cussler adaptation SAHARA not too long ago (and is also heading-up a CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON remake) has set his sights on George A. Romero's 1973 film THE CRAZIES.

Some folks over at JWfan have translated (into English) a KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL score review that appeared in French last week.
The newly-translated review is available HERE.

Hey folks, Harry here… Sorry this was a day late, but I pulled a muscle in my back and really didn’t feel right writing. Sucks – I know… but it’s feeling much better now. This week isn’t the most amazing – but next week is the shit - especially if you love vintage films like me. As always the box art and titles are linked to the titles’ Amazon pages where you can learn more about the title – or you can purchase, thus supporting this column. I hope you dig it. I’m working on next weeks already!

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't usually do this. I rarely endorse a petition effort going on online, because frankly... it takes a lot to motivate me. However, when I got an email from Scott Essman asking for my help in attempting to secure a Star on Hollywood's Walk of Fame for Movie Make-up legend Jack Pierce... I clicked, signed the petition - then came back here to pitch all of you... and all you good folks at Universal Studios.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here. By sheer coincidence, I wrote reviews of two documentaries in the same day, the subjects of which I saw at two separate Pearl Jam concerts. One film, BODY OF WAR, is opening slowly across the country right now; the subject is a young Iraq veteran who appeared on stage with Pearl Jam at last year's Lollapalooza, which I attended. The subjects of the other film, SONG SUNG BLUE, are of an entirely different variety. In the summer of 1995, I saw one of my first Pearl Jam shows at Milwaukee Summerfest.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I'm not shy about my adoration of the Fleischer-esque SKY CAPTAIN AND THE WORLD OF TOMORROW. It's trendy to crap on that movie now and I can see how it wouldn't work for some sensibilities, but it totally plays to me.
Much like how this short film plays to me. It has nothing to do with SKY CAPTAIN or that film's team, but it feels like a kindred spirit. It's called IRON SKY and goddamn does it look fun.

Describing SPEED RACER is kinda like trying to describe an acid trip. A really fun, colorful, shiny acid trip. While some of you may cry foul at the comparison of what's purported to be a kids' film to LSD, I'm surely not the first person in the world to suggest some kids' entertainment was also designed for those experimentally inclined. I mean, I know kids keep all kinds of kooky hours, but Teletubbies at 4am was always a crack up to me. Fortunately, this should be (I hope) completely lost on the young 'uns while being blatantly obvious to the grown ups.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like the AMPTP have pulled out of negotiations with SAG. It actually reads like a replay of what they did to the Writers. SAG has taken DVD off the table in order to avoid a strike and the producers have just dropped them.
