Summit Entertainment has found a director for Eclipse, the third film in The Twilight Saga: David Slade. Slade directed the 2007 vampire flick 30 Days of Night, as well as the mega-disturbing Ellen Page/Patrick Wilson indie Hard Candy. Summit looks to be going with a one-director-per-film rule, which is reasonable given the planned release schedule: New Moon, [...]

The Ninja Turtles have been around for twenty-five years now, and coinciding with the anniversary is the Mirage Group’s official announcement that they’ll be moving forward on a live-action reboot of the franchise. Mirage also produced 2007’s computer-animated TMNT movie. It was a relative success, making more than $50 million, but it left them wondering whether [...]

My Life in Ruins, Nia Vardalos’s comeback movie after My Big Fat Greek Wedding, is premiering at the currently-running Tribeca Film Festival and just came out with a trailer. And you know what? It looks decent. I never jumped on the Greek Wedding train while it was rolling (I saw it, and it was boring), [...]

Robert Rodriguez, like his friend Quentin Tarantino, has a mysterious ailment that compels him to talk nonstop about upcoming projects that never seem to happen. He was at it again this week at a press conference, hyping no less than five upcoming movies. What do you think the chances are that all five happen within the [...]

The Stepfather, like every horror movie of the past few years, is a remake. The original Stepfather — about a new dad who likes to kill his new family when he finds out they’re not perfect — is famous for being an early starring role for Terry O’Quinn, best known now as Locke on Lost. The [...]

USA Today just landed the first still photograph of the so-called Wolf Pack from Summit’s upcoming The Twilight Saga: New Moon. The story finds Bella (Kristen Stewart) growing closer to Jacob (Taylor Lautner) after her beloved Edward (Robert Pattinson) takes off abruptly. (Of course, since Pattinson became an international heartthrob after Twilight came out, his role [...]

What do you know, a movie about Iraq that I might actually want to see. The Hurt Locker, directed by Point Break‘ Kathryn Bigelow, is about an army bomb squad unit that difuses bombs. That makes for a lot of really tense scenarios built-in, and if you add a dash of humor from its two likable [...]

The new poster for (500) Days of Summer that was just released might play like porn to Zooey Deschanel fans. She stars in the flick as Summer (get it?), a girl who the naive young Tom (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) hopelessly falls in love with. Take a look: And nope, I have no idea why “500″ is parenthesized. Share [...]

Columbia Pictures is moving forward on a third film to follow up The Da Vinci Code and this summer’s Angels and Demons — even though the book upon which it will be based has yet to come out. Author Dan Brown announced that the book will be called The Lost Symbol (could that be a blander [...]

Christian Bale has signed onto The Fighter, a period boxing drama that’s set to star Mark Wahlberg as “Irish” Mickey Ward. The project has been in the pipeline for a few years under the direction of Darren Aronofsky, and was originally set to star Brad Pitt in Bale’s role of Ward’s half-brother, Dicky Eklund. After Pitt [...]

Zac Efron, welcome to true moviestardom. Despite featuring a plot that didn’t involve large choreographed dance numbers or anyone breaking into song, 17 Again easily topped the box office with $24 million. (As I predicted last week, that’s just about exactly what another surprise teen hit, Mean Girls, also made.) Coming in at a distant second was [...]

I don’t have a love/hate relationship with Russell Crowe so much as I loved him in Gladiator and hated him in pretty much everything else. So my gut is not helping me as I examine this photo of Crowe in character as Robin Hood in Ridley Scott’s new movie. On the one hand, he’s back to [...]

Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Lovely Bones is ever so slowly creeping up on us — it comes out December of this year — and the first still photos are beginning to pop up online. The eye-catcher features main character Susie Salmon (Atonement’s Saoirse Ronan) in Heaven — or, more accurately as it turns out, somewhere [...]

The lengthy bit of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen that screened at the ShoWest movie convention has found its way online in good quality thanks to Michael Bay’s own site. The weird thing is, as of today, the footage has been pulled from there and most other places online, so perhaps Bay jumped the gun and [...]

Fox Atomic, the comedy/genre arm of Fox’s film divisions, is shutting down after only two years. It’s not too surprising given the box office performance of the films Atomic produced: of Turistas, The Hills Have Eyes 2, 28 Weeks Later, The Comebacks, Miss March, and 12 Rounds, only a few even made back their budget, let [...]
