Steven Spielberg Announces ‘Obama’

April 28th, 2013 James Shotwell

Every year the White House Correspondents’ Association (WHCA) hosts a dinner on the last Saturday in April at the Washington Hilton. The event, which is usually attended by the President and Vice President, celebrates the prior year and offers the journalists who spend all their time covering the White House a chance to relax and enjoy a night out. Last night was no different, and this morning, clips from some of the more memorable moments have begun making their way online.

At one point last night, director Steven Spielberg unveiled a video announcement outlining plans for his next film. It …

UTG LIST: 10 Essential Arnold Schwarzenegger Films

January 20th, 2013 Dane Sager

We strive to bring you the best featured content in the timeliest manner possible, but sometimes we lock horns and cannot stop debating a particular list until after our scheduled release. If we had a time machine this would have gone out on Friday, but sometimes the best things in life require a little bit of patience.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is without a doubt one of the most legendary action heroes to ever walk the Earth. He has battled foes with everything from swords to robotics, saved women and children of over a dozen ethnicities, and blown up pretty much every …

MOVIE TRAILER: Jack The Giant Slayer

November 22nd, 2012 James Shotwell

Thanksgiving usually means sports and food, but more and more recently it has also become a highpoint for Fall movies. This morning, Brian Singer and the execs that tell him what to do decided to release the official trailer for the visionary director’s next feature, Jack The Giant Slayer. If you think this is the story about the boy and beanstalk, you’re right, but as the trailer claims, “you don’t know Jack.” This is not a fairy tale brought to life, rather a children’s story made epic (and war-like). You can view the first full trailer or the feature …

Let that settle in for a second, yes, RZA is making a movie with Quentin Tarantino and Eli Roth.

HOLY SH!T: Evan Glodell (Bellflower) Is Making A Film With Zombies!

June 26th, 2012 Justin Proper

Even Glodell (the genius behind Bellflower) is making a new movie, and it involves zombies!

For those scratching their heads, Bellflower is a critically acclaimed indie movie released last year, and if you have yet to see it make sure it is the next film on your watch list. Glodell is known for his creation of a unique camera used to shoot the film and the use of real working homemade flamethrowers that appear in the movie.

Not much is known about his new film, but the filmmaker recently posted this casting call on his Facebook page:

HOLY SH!T: “Curse Of Chucky” Shoots This Fall

June 23rd, 2012 James Shotwell

Remember Chucky? Child’s toy possessed by an evil spirit who kills people and utters darkly hilarious things? Well he remembers you (or so my evil cousins used to tell me), and he’s aiming to make a BIG comeback over the next few years. Not only is MGM is (still) reportedly working on a remake of Chucky’s original romp, Child’s Play, but Moviehole is now reporting that Universal is keeping their piece of the character alive this Fall by beginning production on Curse Of Chucky.

Headed for the direct-to-dvd market, Curse Of Chucky finds our beloved stuffed friend arriving …

DAMMIT: Rihanna Being Considered For Whitney Houston Biopic

February 27th, 2012 James Shotwell

Today’s hyper-connected society has given us all the ability to not only discover, but grow tired of things fast than ever. If something big happens, you need to capitalize on it right away, which begins to explain the madness currently happening in Hollywood.

Though her corpse has only recently met the Earth, Popdust reports music executive Clive Davis is already trying to get a biopic on Whitney Houston’s career underway. There is no studio yet, nor a script, but a list of actresses being considered for the lead is making the rounds and Ms. Umbrella-ella-ella herself made the cut, along …

MAKE IT STOP: Cube Vision Confirms “Friday 4″ In The Works

December 9th, 2011 James Shotwell

TMZ is reporting that Cube Vision, a production company owned by Ice Cube (once famous for being a badass, now famous for Are We There Yet?), has confirmed that efforts are underway to create fourth entry in the popular Friday franchise.

Few details are available yet, but the studio did confirm they are working on getting the entire cast back together. This follows news from only a few weeks ago that Tom Lister Jr. (Debo) had confirmed he and Chris Tucker had been asked to join the cast.

No words on title or plot, but multiple sites are reporting…

Forget “The Twilight Saga,” We Want “The Muppet Saga”

November 16th, 2011 James Shotwell

There’s a lot of hype surrounding the return of emotionally crippled teenagers in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One this week, but we’ve found something we think would be much, much better.

First spotted on AICN, The Muppets have given us their take on the world of supernatural teen romance with a series of promotional posters known as The Muppet Saga. You can view this hilarious series after the jump.

If you must surround yourself with love-starved teens this weekend (or if you are one), remember that The Muppets opens in theaters November 23 and deserves at …

SCENE & HEARD: The Twilight Saga – Breaking Dawn Part One

November 14th, 2011 James Shotwell

Written by UTG critic Grace Duffy, Scene & Heard takes a look at the music that makes our favorite films so memorable. Whether it’s the 400-piece orchestra Christopher Nolan used for The Dark Knight, or the dozen or so bands that contributed to the soundtrack of Top Gun, there is no denying the impact music has on movies and this column hopes to highlight the best of the best.

If you have a suggestion for a film we should cover on Scene & Heard, please contact us by emailing utgjames@gmail.com.

Here’s an unpopular opinion for you: I love Twilight.…

MOVIE TRAILER: Danielle Harris’ “Among Friends”

September 22nd, 2011 James Shotwell

We love indie films here at UTG and even more, we love indie horror films. Danielle Harris just wrapped shooting her latest, Among Friends, in August and today we have the official trailer.

Among Friends tells the tale of a dinner party gone horribly awry. A group of friends gather, as they always, for a night of fun, but one takes the opportunity to “help” some fellow friends with what they think is wrongdoing in their lives.

You can view the trailer, which leaves plenty to the imagination after the jump. If you like what you see, “like” the …

FINAL TRAILER: Apollo 18

August 29th, 2011 James Shotwell

“Found footage” is a genre even those fiercely devoted to horror have begun to think of as a joke, but not everyone is laughing just yet. Of the two big horror films opening this weekend, the “discovered” footage of Apollo 18 could very likely come out on top of the weekend box office.

What’s that? You’ve been sleeping on Apollo 18? No worries, the studio just released the final preview of the film, which still refuses to give us any idea what is exactly is hunting down our astronaut stars.

The film opens Friday. Click below and view the …
