REMAKE: ‘Starbuck’ Becomes Vince Vaughn Lead ‘Delivery Man’

May 22nd, 2013 James Shotwell

It’s not too often a director gets to (or even wants to) remake their own film. Aside from Hitchcock, only a few have dared such a feat, but recently Dreamworks gave fast-rising Ken Scott that opportunity.

If you live near an arthouse or a box theater that features indie films, there is a good chance Ken Scott’s film Starbuck recently made an appearance on the local silver screen. Released originally in 2011, the comedy effort about a man who learns he fathered over 500 children as a sperm donor earlier in his life, a portion of whom want to …

Full-Length Trailer For ‘The Wolverine’ Offers Plenty Of Plot

May 21st, 2013 James Shotwell

Is it just me, or is it starting to feel like Man Of Steel and The Wolverine are never going to come out? Their marketing campaigns have lasted months, offered minutes of footage and dozens of images, yet we still have weeks (or more) to go before release. Don’t get me wrong, I love geeking out over comic movies as much as the next person, but cut the tease and get to the meat already.

This morning, a new trailer for The Wolverine found its way online. Unlike previous trailers, this one feels less spoiler-tastic due to its focus on …

MOVIE REVIEW: I Declare War

March 28th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: I Declare War
Directors: Robert Wilson and Jason Lapeyre
Starring: Siam Yu, Gage Munroe

While having an original idea for a film is one thing, bringing that idea to life in a way that is viable to large audiences is a completely different story. I Declare War is one of the few films that succeeds in both these areas, though many may argue it’s not a film for everyone, and hopefully it finds the attention it deserves in the months to come.

When bringing an original idea to life, it’s important to cut to the chase as fast as …

First Trailer For ‘The Wolverine’ Takes Us To Japan

March 27th, 2013 James Shotwell

The return of Iron Man and Superman to the big screen has been the focus of most superhero fandom in recent months, but Tony Stark and Clark Kent are not the only comic book characters appearing on the silver screen this Summer.

Hugh Jackman is once again letting his side burns grow to reprise his most popular role in The Wolverine. Based on the celebrated comic book arc, the movie will take Wolverine to modern-day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world, he will face a host of unexpected and deadly opponents in a life-or-death battle that …

TEASER TRAILER: “The Lone Ranger”

October 3rd, 2012 James Shotwell

Now that Disney has decided to let the Pirates Of The Caribbean series slowly fade into obscurity, it’s time the mouse who knows best recruit Johnny Depp for one more go around in next Summer’s epic, The Lone Ranger. The first teaser for the film was released today, and from the looks of it I have to say that Disney seems to have another megahit on the way.

Official Synopsis: From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski, the filmmaking team behind the blockbuster “Pirates of the Caribbean” franchise, comes Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer Films’ “The Lone Ranger,” a thrilling adventure …

HOLY SH!T: Adam Mackay Teases “Anchorman 2″ Plot

April 11th, 2012 James Shotwell

The announcement of Anchorman 2 being greenlit is still making its way around the globe, but that is not stopping the team behind the film from getting an early start on teasing us with the film’s plot.

In a recent interview with Salon, Anchorman 2 Director (and longtime Will Ferrell collaborator) Adam Mackay was asked to discuss what could be expected of Ron Burgundy’s long-awaited return to the screen. Never one to be direct with such questions, Mackay responded with the following:

“I don’t want to give away too much, but I’ll just give a couple of pieces ideas that …

MOVIE TRAILER: Safety Not Guaranteed

March 28th, 2012 James Shotwell

One of the most talked about films of the Winter festival circuit, Safety not Guaranteed , is finally arriving in theaters later this year. Today, we have the trailer.

Starring Aubrey Plaza as an intern assigned to get close to a man who places an ad claiming to be in possession of a time machine (and in need of an assistant), Safety Not Guaranteed has the kind of funny-yet-heavy vibe one thinks of when titles like Little Miss Sunshine are mentioned. The trailer is more than enough to sell me, so I think you’ll probably feel the same. Decide for …

MOVIE TRAILER: Project X

November 2nd, 2011 James Shotwell

Producer Todd Phillips (The Hangover, Old School) and first-time director Nima Nourizade have unveiled the first trailer for their oft-talked about high school comedy Project X.

The film follows a high school party that goes from tame to wild, wild to insane, and then completely out of control. Not exactly an original plot idea, but one look at the trailer and you’re bound to realize this film is definitely bringing some original ideas to the plate.

Not scheduled to open until 2012, Project X looks relatively promising. Though I will say the found footage bit at …

November 2nd, 2011 James Shotwell

An official synopsis has finally been made public for the recently delayed Piranha 3DD, which is now scheduled to be released in January 2012.

ShockTillYouDrop first posted the synopsis earlier today:

Having awoken from their spring break extravaganza at Lake Victoria, the swarm heads upstream where they look to make a meal out of Big Wet, a local water park where when it comes to fun, nobody does it wetter! Thought they came to get wet, get loaded and get some, the staff and patrons get more than they bargained for when they must face the fiercest, most bloodthirsty …
