Now that all other possible subjects for television drama have been done in one way or another, Bravo are looking in other, less-ploughed areas for subjects to make entertainment out of. And after a long, hard think about what the American public might want to spend an hour a week watching, they've settled on a series about the 80s Cola Wars, which, on our reckoning, were almost as intense as both the Falklands conflict and the second Gulf War (respectively).
For those who saw Judd Apatow's Funny People as a kind of Adam Sandler apology vehicle - you know, "sorry about all the shitty work I've made you pay to see these past ten years or so, maybe I'll do better" - his latest project, titled Ridiculous 6, appears to be shoving just how wrong you were right in your stupid face.
Be careful who you quote. That's the message the William Faulkner estate are sending out anyway, given that they've decided to sue Sony over a line of dialogue in Woody Allen's Midnight In Paris.
When something is unveiled in Hollywood and the public respond with cries of disgust and faeces throwing, somebody gets fired and then Hollywood tries again. That's the system that seems to have resulted in a whole bunch of new Killing Them Softly posters, anyway, after the initial prints were met with a shrug-like reception from people who were shrug-like about watching the movie in the first place.
Stephen King has to be one of the most adapted authors of all-time (at least it feels that way), given that almost every one of his novels has found its way on the big screen in some shape or form. Most of the results have been horrifying enough to scare the likes of Edgar Allen Poe (including some that King scripted himself), though a good few have emerged as absolute classics (thanks to people like Rob Reiner and Frank Darabont).
Given that, hey, Sam Mendes was directly inspired by The Dark Knight when he went ahead and made Skyfall, Christopher Nolan seems like a serious contender to helm James Bond's next outing. Fans have been suggesting the idea for a good while now, anyway, and even Nolan has mentioned before that he's a big Bond fan and would be interested in taking on a Bond movie.
Although the ending of Mass Effect 3 left loyal fans feeling betrayed, disillusioned and ready to charge the BioWare H.Q. with flaming torches and razor-sharp pitchforks, yelling things like "Change it! Change it!", they can still look forward to the upcoming Mass Effect movie (well, if the ending is good, that is) since they've hired a new writer.
If you like both Halo and one-line critical reviews flying at you very fast, then you're going to love the latest Halo 4 trailer, which offers a better glimpse of some of the in-game graphics and actual gameplay.
It's been well-assumed that upcoming Marvel movie (and X-Men spinoff) The Wolverine would be a prequel. Well, that's not true, apparently, and that's coming from the mouth of somebody who should know: director James Mangold.
Although critics have drawn their own opinions on the quality of the film itself, none of them are doubting that there's something bold, different, and spectacular about Cloud Atlas, the latest blockbuster from Tom Tykwer and Lana and Andy Wachowski (The Matrix, Speed Racer).
