Tom Ford’s ‘A Single Man’ Gets A Beautiful Trailer

46 minutes ago | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Tom Ford is a stylish man who's been around a lot more naked women than I have. I'd cry foul, but he's also been around a lot more naked men so instead I'll just call it even. He's been near the top of the fashion world for years, but now he looks to be expanding his resume by directing and co-writing a film. A Single Man has already received quite a bit of acclaim from showings at various festivals and has finally had it's first trailer released. The film stars Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, Matthew Goode (Watchmen, The Lookout), Ginnifer Goodwin ("Big Love", "Ed"), and Nicholas Hoult (About a Boy, "Skins"). Check it out below. The trailer doesn't give away much (or anything really) about the plot, but it looks absolutely stunning doesn't it? It shouldn't come as a surprise since Ford's other career involves his keen eye for fashion and beauty, but »

Daniel Craig joins cast for psychological thriller ‘Dream House’

5 hours ago | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Daniel Craig, best known as the reigning James Bond, will join the cast of the upcoming psychological thriller Dream House.

The 41-year-old Craig will play a father who moves his family into a quaint new house in a small town, only to find out that the place is haunted by the former inhabitants that were murdered there.

Producers will have their work cut out for them since this seems to be the plot of every haunted house thriller.

Dream House will be directed by Jim Sheridan (In the Name of the Father) with a script from Daniel Bobker (The Brothers Grimm).

Filming will begin in January and will run through April in Toronto.

Craig’s next project is The Adventures of Tintin set for a release in 2011.

Watchmen: The Ultimate Cut DVD Review

7 November 2009 9:57 AM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

This Tuesday, Warner Bros. is releasing the “ultimate cut” of “Watchmen,” a 5-disc box set intended to do the graphic novel justice–something that writer Alan Moore would be (but still isn’t) proud of.  The feature included is an hour longer than the theatrical release, and there are plenty of bonuses to be seen.  Go through it all with me, one disc at a time, after the jump.

Disc One: The “Ultimate” Cut

I’m among the select group of people who loved both the graphic novel and Zack Snyder’s film “Watchmen” when it released in March.  And though I agree the book trumps the film, I am a tremendous fan of both for different reasons.

Thus as expected, this “ultimate cut” of the film is pretty special for a fanboy like myself. It’s the director’s cut of the film with all the side stories thrown »

Terry Gilliam on Zack Snyder's Watchmen: 'It Needed a Kick in the Ass'

4 November 2009 8:20 AM, PST | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

I spoke to director Terry Gilliam yesterday, and while our interview will run much closer to the Christmas Day release date of his newest film, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, I couldn't help but ask him about Watchmen. Gilliam twice attempted to mount Watchmen for the screen (even going so far as to pitch it as a television miniseries) but could never make it work, so I was curious what he thought of Zack Snyder's theatrical adaptation of the graphic novel, which came out earlier this year. »

Post Halloween Special Part 3: Freddy Krueger vs Me

3 November 2009 12:29 PM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

It’s a bit late but to finally end my Halloween champion Slasher report on who is the king out of Jason Voorhees, Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger,  I have watched the entire back catalogue of their films and given a run down on each characters franchise story and best kills.

Part 1 was on Jason, Part 2 was Michael Myers and finally Part 3 is on the killing Dream Demon Freddy Krueger.

Set on Elm Street, Freddy is the reason I struggled to sleep through the late 80’s due to being terrified of him visiting me in my dreams.

Beware pictures of blood, a lot of gushing blood and other violent deaths.

And so a little rhyme to begin this story:

One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.

Three, Four, Better Lock your door.

Five, Six, grab your Crucifix.

Seven, Eight, Gonna stay up late.

Nine, Ten, Never sleep again.

Warren Ellis' 'Black Summer' Optioned By Vigilante

2 November 2009 6:03 AM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Comics legend Warren Ellis is all over Hollywood these days. He has Red in development at Summit, Gravel was just recently optioned by the top-notch crew at Legendary Pictures, and Ocean is in the works with Hollywood Gang, for whom Ellis is also penning a King Arthur script. Now Variety reports that Ellis' miniseries Black Summer has been optioned by the fledgling banner Vigilante Entertainment. Ryne Pearson is set to adapt it for the big screen.

Black Summer kicked off in 2007, and walks some familiar Watchmen ground as it examines the darker implications of vigilante heroes. It centers around a superhero team called the Seven Guns, a group of ordinary humans who have willingly undergone severe surgery to become superhuman vigilantes. They take to the streets of a West Coast city to battle a corrupt city government, its equally sleazy police force, and greedy private security forces. But by the time we meet them, »

Haley promises "deeper" 'Elm Street'

31 October 2009 10:50 AM, PDT | Digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Jackie Earle Haley has promised a "deeper" version of the reboot of A Nightmare On Elm Street. The Watchmen star, who has signed up to play iconic villain Freddy Krueger in the remake to Wes Craven's 1984 classic, has said that the forthcoming movie will pay homage to the horror franchise. Haley told MTV: "I think the glove is pretty familiar. It's really important for us, I think, as we're re-imagining this, that there is a good, strong sense of new and fresh - yet there's some recognisability, you know? "A lot of what was in that first movie is also in this movie, as far as the structure of it and how it (more) »

Moon Bloodgood's Topless 'Terminator: Salvation' Scene: Worth the 'R' Rating?

30 October 2009 10:02 AM, PDT | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

What's happened to all the great movie nudity lately? Billy Crudup started the year off with a bang, so to speak, with his big blue penis in Watchmen, and Marcus Nispel's Friday the 13th reboot featured sweaty sex and generous amounts of naked female flesh, but the summer and fall seasons have been curiosly bereft of talked-about sex scenes or body parts. Jessica Biel's bravely-bared breasts and backside in Powder Blue went direct to video, Hayden Panetierre nonchalantly limited her exposure to 'side boobage' in I Love You, Beth Cooper, and Megan Fox decided to keep her nipples to herself in the proudly feminist relationship drama ('cause it sure wasn't horror) Jennifer's Body.

In my youth, movies educated me about the wonderful diversity of naked bodies. Today, television and the Internet have stolen much of the thunder once claimed exclusively by the theatrical experience. (Case in point: Susan Sarandon's daughter, »

Anthony Hopkins Cast As Thor's Father

30 October 2009 3:17 AM, PDT | Screenrush | See recent Screenrush news »

The Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision blog have it on good authority that grand-old-thespian (Sir) Anthony Hopkins has been cast as Chris Hemsworth's father in Thor. The role will be the latest in a long-line of bearded old men that this one-time actor has played in recent years.

Other British-thespian Kenneth Branagh's film will start shooting in the new year and will tell the story of the god of thunder as a 'powerful but arrogant warrior whose reckless actions re-ignite an ancient war'... as punishmlent for his careless actions Thor is bannished from the heavenly realm to Earth where he must live amongst humans and learn how to become a true hero by facing down the dark invasion force of his nemesis Asgard.

Tell us what you reckon of Hopkins playing Odin, and if you have an opinion on whether Branagh's got the directorial chops to better the bar »

Excl: 2 Photos from Hammer Films' The Resident

28 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

Jeffrey Dean Morgan ( Watchmen , Supernatural ) taps into his sinister side in The Resident , a new thriller from England's renown Hammer Films. Directed and co-written by Antti J. Jokinen - who rolled cameras on the film earlier this year in New York - The Resident finds Hilary Swank playing a doctor who moves into a new tenement only to be stalked by her landlord (Morgan). Inevitably, his creep factor rises and a game of cat and mouse begins. What's worth noting about the project is this is the first time co-star Christopher Lee and Hammer Films have worked together since To the Devil a Daughter in '76. Jokinen, who hails from Finland, makes his English language feature debut. The Resident was rumored to be re-titled to Invasion of Privacy , however, we can confirm... »

'Nightmare On Elm Street' Reboot Goes 'A Bit Deeper,' Jackie Earle Haley Says

28 October 2009 3:52 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »

Oscar-nominated actor tells MTV News his Freddy Krueger is 'not much of a comedian.'

By Larry Carroll, with reporting by Vanessa White Wolf

Don't believe that Freddy Krueger is one of the greatest icons of modern pop culture? Or that Wes Craven's 1984 horror film "A Nightmare on Elm Street" will be remembered far longer than many of that decade's Oscar winners? For proof, look no further than your own doorstep Saturday night — and all the scarred, razor-clawed, striped-sweater-wearing baddies you'll see begging for your Butterfingers.

Now, "Watchmen" star Jackie Earle Haley is stepping into the dreams of "Nightmare" fans worldwide, answering their call to succeed Robert Englund as the new Freddy. And the questions surrounding his April 2010 unveiling are as obvious as Freddy's hatred for teenagers: What will be different, and what will he keep the same?

Catching Up With Christopher Lee

27 October 2009 | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »

It's nearly Halloween. And naturally, many of the big news outlets are turning to some of the genre's biggest stars to reflect on horror, their careers, etc. CNN? They went to Christopher Lee. Classy. In a recent feature article on the actor, they lead off with his take on the genre today. Speaking frankly, Lee doesn't care for it. "I find it quite nauseating what they do," Lee told CNN. "The blood is all over the screen like an avalanche - the mutilation - dreadful things, and I just don't enjoy that." Lee next stars in Invasion of Privacy - formerly called The Resident (and still called that titled in CNN's article) - which reunites him with Hammer Films. Director Antti J. Jokinen and co-star Jeffrey Dean Morgan ( Watchmen ) both comment on... »

Zoe Saldana Talks Avatar, The Losers, and Star Trek 2

27 October 2009 4:44 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Zoe Saldana is certainly getting her fanboy credits in order. There's James Cameron's upcoming Avatar later this year, the comic book adaptation The Losers next year, and a Star Trek sequel likely arriving in 2012. Saldana spoke with E!Online and revealed she has watched some scenes from Cameron's much-anticipated Avatar.

Just last Friday, I went to Fox and Jim was able to show me scenes along with [composer] James Horner's music incorporated in it. O-m-g is all I'm going to say.

Saldana was a little more forthcoming about The Losers, which follows a CIA black ops team seeking revenge after being left for dead, that co-stars Watchmen's Jeffrey Dean Morgan.

I play a toughass broad — sort of like a viper, snaky girl. Guys find it really sexy when they see a girl hanging from wires with guns. They even like it more when there's a girl-on-guy fight and »

‘The A-Team’ movie cast looks exactly like the TV cast

25 October 2009 7:24 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

We’ve already seen some candid shots of the cast of The A-Team and finally we have our first HQ promo pic from the big-screen adaptation of the hit ’80s TV show.

Starring Liam Neeson, Bradley Cooper, Quinton Jackson and Sharlto Copley, we can easily see the cast of the film hard-core representin’ the TV show because…they look exactly like their boob tube counterparts. Not that this is bad…I’m sure we’d be complaining if they looked completely different. My biggest beef is that Jessica Biel isn’t in the shot and spare me the whole “she’s not even part of the main cast so why would she be in the picture?” routine. I want Biel. In fact, I’ll toss in a pic of her.

The A-Team is directed by Joe Carnahan and lands in theaters on June 11, 2010.
