Because she's a big star now and romantic comedies have to be a little bit quirky to get noticed amongst all the trash that gets made, Anna Kendrick is set to appear in the upcoming film adaptation of "timeline-swapping relationship musical" The Last Five Years.
Because Marvel have taken over cinema as we know it and the world is no longer capable of waiting for a trailer without watching a trailer for that trailer, yesterday saw less than twenty seconds of Iron Man 3 footage emerging in a kind of pre-trailer. Which the world went crazy for, as expected.
Do The Right Thing writer and director Spike Lee is currently working on his remake of the Korean thriller Oldboy, although it's the subject of much debate as to whether or not he's doing the right thing (see what we did there?) in messing with an established classic.
Although Mike Hammer isn't exactly the world's best-known fictional detective, somebody over at Warner Bros. is obviously a big fan: it's been reported that the studio have purchased the rights to the character for an upcoming cinematic adaptation.
Robert Rodriguez's Machete was a hilarious tribute to grindhouse cinema that offered up all the violence and sex you might expect from a movie starring Danny Trejo as a character named after a weapon.
It feels like an age has passed since we were last in control of Master Chief, but the wait for the fourth Halo game is almost over. And as usual, those marketing geniuses over at Microsoft have prepared another brilliant live-action trailer to get everyone excited and willing to part with their wallets. Considering that these things never actually contain any actual game footage, they've always done an amazing job of summing up the mood of the games and getting fans pumped.
Although the process has apparently left him utterly exhausted and eager for a break, Skyfall director Sam Mendes still remembers that he's just directed a freakin' James Bond movie and wouldn't exactly turn down the chance to direct another one. Speaking to Time Out, Mendes said:
Skyfall, the latest entry in the James Bond franchise, has received near enough universal acclaim since the reviews started flooding in last week. Sam Mendes, who was originally cited as a somewhat strange choice for a Bond director, can sit back and relax, then, knowing that he's produced an excellent Bond adventure (an outing that some critics have called "the best Bond ever").
Those incessant PS3 Trophies have been up to no good again, and this time they've managed to out some future DLC for Borderlands 2. Take a look at the image above, which was sent over to Joystiq via a tipster, and seems to point to a new slice of content titled "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage."
After the critical and financial success associated with David Fincher's last two films (The Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo), it would seem that he might finally have a chance in getting passion project 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea off the ground (or, uh, into the water).
