J.J. Abrams Says ‘Star Trek 4’ Has The Best Story Of The Kelvin Timeline By Jacob Hall/July 22, 2016 11:30 am EST It’s something of a ritual by now. The latest entry in a major franchise arrives, but the people behind the film aren’t talking about it. Instead, they’ve already moved on to the next movie, the hypothetical sequel that only exists in a few conversations and on a cocktail napkin or two....

Krzysztof Kieslowski S The Decalogue To Be Remade For Nbc

Krzysztof Kieslowski’s ‘The Decalogue’ To Be Remade For NBC By Russ Fischer/Feb. 17, 2015 10:30 am EST The way things are going now, it was only a matter of time before one of the masterworks by the late Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski was remade in the US. But I never expected the project to be his ten-part opus The Decalogue; furthermore, I never expected the home to be NBC. The Decalogue, from 1989, is a truly wonderful ten-hour Polish TV series based on the Ten Commandments, with the stories all set in a large housing block, featuring characters who occasionally cross paths from one episode to the next....

Original story follows. Last year, we got the very fortunate news that Netflix was fast-tracking a series based on Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events.

Rumor Disney Working On New Tron Video Game

Rumor: Disney Working On New ‘Tron’ Video Game By Germain Lussier/Feb. 18, 2015 4:00 am EST The words “Tron” and “video game” are about as synonymous as “Marvel” and “comic book.” Tron, of course, is the 1982 Disney film, by Steven Lisberger, which was directly influenced by video games. It’s basically about a man who goes into a game, and the first film spawned several games and then, a few decades later, a sequel that took the idea even further....

Mechanic Resurrection Trailer Jason Statham Is Back And More Jason Statham Y Than Ever

‘Mechanic: Resurrection’ Trailer: Jason Statham Is Back And More Jason Statham-Y Than Ever By Jacob Hall/June 23, 2016 12:30 pm EST Jason Statham is nothing if not consistent. Although he’s taken detours into blockbuster territory with Furious 7, showcased some strong comedy chops in Spy, and made the (love ’em or hate ’em) wholly singular Crank movies, Statham’s bread and butter has always been the modestly budgeted action movie. The continuously expanding Jason Statham library isn’t full of too many great movies, but it is full of movies that make simple promises and then deliver exactly what you need them to deliver....

Rogue One Star Diego Luna Joins That Flatliners Remake

‘Rogue One’ Star Diego Luna Joins That ‘Flatliners’ Remake By Jacob Hall/March 2, 2016 6:00 am EST Is there anyone out there demanding a Flatliners remake? Probably not. The original 1990 film is fine, a perfectly adequate supernatural thriller that goes down easy enough and then vanishes from the brain without leaving a last impression. In a weird way, this actually makes it the ideal movie for the remake treatment – there is no reason to film new versions of beloved, classic movies when there are plenty of great concepts attached to forgettable movies floating around, awaiting resurrection....
