Interview Highlights of 2009: Quentin Tarantino, Jason Reitman, Rachel Weisz, More
8 hours ago | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – The staff at HollywoodChicago.com met with some living legends and some rising stars in 2009. As we prepare to bring you even more in 2010, we thought we’d look back at a few of our favorite quotes from the year. Enjoy.
Highlights of the year in chronological order:
Writer/Director Kyle Newman on the troubled production of “Fanboys” - ““It was very disheartening to watch everything that you’ve done positive be undermined in a week by a bunch of idiots, this team that was brought in to do this. Mainly just the director who they brought in to re-shape it who was opening his mouth online and really offending our core audience. So, I was shocked. I was like, “Oh my God.” It was just getting out of control and here we are on the sidelines and I’m watching the movie fall apart. I’m watching our fanbase dissipate. »

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Seven
29 December 2009 7:16 AM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Naomi Watts, Annette Bening, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington
Director: Rodrigo Garcia
Summary: A tale of a mother and daughter, separated at birth, who struggle with the damage done by the most important person missing in their lives while a young African-Americn woman deals with an unwanted pregnancy and the adoption process.
Analysis: Scoring rave reviews in Toronto, the $7 million latest effort of Rodrigo Garcia ("Nine Lives," "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her") once again shows off his skill at weaving multiple narratives together in clever and unexpected ways. At its heart it's an emotional family drama, but Garcia excels with his female characters which makes the involvement of Naomi Watts, Kerry Washington and especially Annette Benning thrilling.
The few criticisms levelled at the film were toward some pacing and credibility issues in the last act, but otherwise praised it for not »

27 December 2009 10:16 AM, PST | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »
So you’ve unwrapped all of your Christmas presents, received three copies of District 9 from multiple uncommunicative family members, and the year of 2009 is about to be wrapped up. The debate is over: 2009 has been a great year for film. So what do you do now?
Why, start thinking about what’s around the corner, of course!
While there’s less in the way of interesting sci-fi, as 2009 will surely be remembered for, 2010 has plenty of interesting new films in store, as well as some remakes, reboots and sequels. Here’s a list of the 15 most anticipated films of 2010, in order of release, followed by a minefield of movies you might consider avoiding.
The Wolfman (February 12)

Spanish Teaser Poster for 'Predators'?
22 December 2009 8:31 AM, PST | bloody-disgusting.com | See recent Bloody-Disgusting.com news »
Spanish website Aullidos posted the following image that they claim is the forthcoming international teaser poster for Predators, 20th Century Fox's latest entry in the franchise arriving in theaters July 9, 2010. Personally, I think it looks like a hack Photoshop job, so I'd take this with a serious grain of salt until confirmed. Directed by Nimrod Antal and starring Topher Grace, Adrien Brody, Walton Goggins, Laurence Fishburne, Alice Braga, Danny Trejo, Walt Goggins, Oleg Taktarov, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Louiz Ozawa and Derek Mears, in this version, a group of humans will find themselves stranded on a planet home to Predators and must survive the horrors they encounter. »

The man who once played Cowboy Curtis on Pee-wee’s Playhouse will join the cast of Nimrod Antal’s Predators.
Laurence Fishburne (The Matrix) will play a character named Roland. No other details or known.
Fishburne joins Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga, Mahershalalhashbaz Ali, Walt Goggins, Danny Trejo and Oleg Taktarov.
In November, Antal revealed that the new Predators will maintain some parts of the original movies: “…we are trying to stay with the original as far as the monster and the atmosphere and the tone of the film, but we are trying to do something new and contemporary and feels fresh,” he says.

The Notable Films of 2010: Part Four
19 December 2009 11:50 PM, PST | Dark Horizons | See recent Dark Horizons news »
Opens: 2010
Cast: Val Kilmer, Andy Garcia, Rupert Friend, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Johnathon Schaech
Director: Renny Harlin
Summary: An American journalist, his cameraman, and a Georgian native get caught in the crossfire of the five-day Russia-Georgia conflict in August 2008, and then have to deal with their obligation to be impartial.
Analysis: A timely parable on war, or Hollywood propaganda filmmaking at its worst? Wherever it goes, especially in Europe and the former Soviet states, "Georgia" will cause a lot of talk and controversy as the incidents depicted are still so fresh in many's minds. Like all topics of the sort, it'll also have its strong supporters and detractors having opinions on the film long before a frame of footage is screened anywhere.
Shot on-location in Tbilisi, the project also marks a potential return to form for Finnish director Renny Harlin. Given the right material the skilled action director delivered three »

Sci-Fi Wire reports that while visiting the set of the new Nimrod Antal (Armored) directed film, Predators, they discovered another person joining the already amazing cast.

Laurence Fishburne Joins Predators Cast!
18 December 2009 8:21 AM, PST | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
It makes sense that Nimrod Antal would cast one of the stars of his Armored film to be part of the ensemble cast that is Predators. The cast is shaping up as it has 2 Academy Award winning actors in it, never thought I’d say that about a Predators film. Fishbourne joins Adrien Brody in the film. Aliens aren’t new to Fishbourne as he battled the non-corporeal kind in Event Horizon.
Fishburne, has been cast in a pivotal role in the upcoming re-boot. The actor, who is best known for his work in films such as The Matrix series, Apocalypse Now and Deep Cover, and is currently starring in CBS’s mega-hit series, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
He will be playing the role of Noland, details on the character are unknown but he did begin working on the film this week in Austin, Texas at producer Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios. »

Robert Rodriguez’s Predators film is one of the more anticipated 80s rebakes in the Hollywood ether right now, and it just got a touch more awesome.
The chaps from Collider.com spent a day on the set of the film, directed by Nimród Antal, and though a strict embargo prevents them talking too much about the film they could reveal that Laurence Fishburne is among the cast.
He joins Adrien Brody, Danny Trejo and Topher Grace on the film, which is all about a band of warriors being hunted by a group of Predators, and is released next summer.

Laurence Fishburne Joins 'Predators'

Robert Rodriguez's "Predators" hits AMC Theatres in July 2010. Already, we know that Adrien Brody and Topher Grace have been cast in the film, with some fans questioning if either actor has the toughness to take on some nasty aliens.
Well, have no fear: Laurence Fishburne Aka Cowboy Curtis, Aka Morpheus from "The Matrix," Aka professional badass has joined the project!
No details about his character have been revealed, other than that his name is Noland. Frankly, we're happy to see Fishburne take on any role in film -- but we especially love to see him fight monsters!

Laurence Fishburne Joins The 'Predators' Cast
18 December 2009 6:02 AM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
Editor's note: This story ran yesterday, but it had to be pulled for a variety of reasons. It's back now. Fishburne's in the movie. It's gonna be cool.
What could possibly make producer Robert Rodriguez and director Nimrod Antal's "Predators" any cooler? For a start, they could send Morpheus after the four-jawed creatures... and thankfully, that's exactly what they're doing.
Almost exactly, at least, as Bloody Disgusting has learned that Laurence Fishburne is plugging out of "The Matrix" (or stepping out of the "CSI" crime lab, if you'd prefer) to join the fight against the "Predators," the third installment in the much beloved franchise, if you're not counting the significantly less beloved "Aliens vs. Predators" movies.
Fishburne will play a character named Noland, though no other details about the role are available yet. The actor will film his part at Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios in Austin, Texas, where the movie is »

Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.

Laurence Fishburne Joins Predators

Yes, Morpheus himself, well, Laurence Fishburne has signed on the dotted line to join the cast of Anatol Nimrod’s Robert Rodriguez-produced sci-fi bonanza Predators. An already top-rate cast includes Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice Braga and Danny Trejo.
It isn’t the greatest shock in the world, not really. Fishburne worked with Nimrod on the American-Hungarian’s last flick Armoured. So where does Fishburne fit into the story? No quite knows. His character name has been revealed as Roland. No doubt he’ll be playing a significant part before being killed in a terrible way (just guessin’).
Predators will be set on the home planet of the kill-for-sport-and-trophies aliens. So be prepared for lots of laser beams, eviscerations, great acting, special effects and fun! It’s been a steady climb up the Hollywood ladder for Nimrod. Starting out with the excellent Hungarian-language Kontroll before heading back to the »

Laurence Fishburne To Fight Predators
18 December 2009 4:46 AM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Robert Rodriguez’s Predators is currently filming in Austin, Texas and Bloody-Disgusting was on set yesterday and learned of another casting addition that they’re allowed to share: Laurence Fishburne.
Fishburne is most recognizable from his role as Morpheus in The Matrix trilogy and can currently be seen on CSI as well as in the film Armored, which is currently in theaters.
In Predators, we know only that his character is named Noland and that he is a member of the group of humans stranded on the Predator homeworld, fighting for survival.
Predators is directed by Nimród Antal from a Robert Rodriguez script. In addition to Fishburne, the cast includes Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo (also working with Rodriguez on Machete), Derek Mears, Oleg Taktarov (Ufc fighter), Walt Goggins (The Shield), Alice Braga (I am Legend, Redbelt) and Mahershalalhashbaz Ali (The 4400).

Morpheus Plans to Take on Some Predators
18 December 2009 4:39 AM, PST | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
When the initial cast list was presented for the upcoming Predator sequel directed by Nimrod Antal and produced by Robert Rodriguez, it had more than a few people retitling the film Wvp (Wimp Vs. Predator). Evidently, Adrien Brody and Topher Grace didn’t inspire confidence in the film’s ability to present bad-ass action. Hopefully, with today’s news, that sentiment about the film is about to change.
Collider is reporting from a set visit on the Austin-based production, that Laurence Fishburne has joined the cast of elite warriors who are taken to the Predator home planet for some “home field advantage” slaughtering. It doesn’t tell us much about what his character is all about, but the character’s name is Noland.
I would have to say this presents some good news in the Antal/Fishburne relationship that Laurence Fishburne has now been in the last two Nimrod Antal films, »

Laurence Fishburne Signs Up For Predators
18 December 2009 2:37 AM, PST | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »
When first we heard about the franchise reboot that is Predators, we couldn't help but think it was a bad idea (after all, look what happened to Alien vs. Predator!), but there must be something in director Nimrod Antal's return to those intergalactic safari hunters, as the project has clocked up yet another quality name to its cast.
Collider tells us that, in addition to the likes of Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Danny Trejo and Alice Braga, the venerable Laurence Fishburne has signed up for some alien bashing.
That's right folks, Morpheus himself is joining the cast to play a tough guy named Roland in the Robert Rodriguez-produced flick.
This marks the second collaboration between Fishburne and Antal afrer their last flick Armored and is a good sign that the new Predator movie could well be a solid return to form. What do you guys think? Leave your comments below. »
