During the upfronts and unveils, Fox unleashed the trailer to the upcoming Human Target series, based on the DC Comics series. Looks like a lot of action and a fairly well known cast of characters. Let’s just hope Fox keeps it around instead of giving it the heave-ho after three episodes.

Even though X-Men Origins: Wolverine has moderate success in the box office, 20th Century Fox already has plans to make a second Wolverine movie, and today announced it was in development for a Deadpool spin-off movie. It is understood that Reynolds would regain the ability to mouth off, with the movie going back to the roots of the character known for his slapstick tone and propensity to break the fourth wall. The character also was disfigured in “Wolverine,” though it’s unclear at this time how much the studio would want to mess with Reynolds’ handsome mug. Currently the project is…
Is it any surprise that H’wood is already working on a sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine? The movie more than paid for itself over the weekend, prompting 20th Century Fox to begin development on the story that will be set in Japan focusing on the samurai/Yakuza storyline. I think the biggest problem with this idea, is it’s a 20th Century Fox idea.  The best Marvel Comics movies that have come out in the last decade have been the movies produced and distributed through Marvel. I don’t know how much money 20th Century Fox would want in the deal, but Marvel…
So the movie officially opened this past weekend, and brought in an estimated $87 million in the United States. For those who saw it in the theater, now it’s time for you to tell us what you thought? Better or worse than expected? Would you see another Wolverine feature film? And for those that illegally downloaded the film (and the FBI knows who you are), did you also go and see it in the theater? Was it radically different than what you downloaded? It’s your turn to chat it up! And if you want, give us a call at the…
20th Century Fox is already cranking up the PR machine, citing the recent swine flu outbreak as a potential reason for the movie not performing well this weekend. The movie studio postponed the premiere of the X-Men Origins: Wolverine in Mexico, but still plans to move ahead with the rest of the openings. At least one school in New York shut down after students were diagnosed with the malady, and with the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control amping up the fear factor over this outbreak, it wouldn’t surprise me if more people stay away from the…
If you believe it. Sounds like a hoax, especially when he starts to complain that the special effects community doesn’t get a share of profits of the film. Almost like someone someone doesn’t know the difference between an Above the Line and Below the Line position.
Variety is reporting Robert Rodriguez is taking the Machete trailer from his Grindhouse film, and turning it into a feature length movie. Danny Trejo will play the lead character, with Rodriguez expected to start filming in June. Machete is a Mexican ex-Federale with a gift for wielding a blade, who hides out as a day laborer, who is double-crossed by a corrupt state senator. In addition to that bit of news, Variety also reports that the producer/director/editor/graphic artist/musician/grip/gaffer/catterer/fill in any other job Rodriguez does himself here has written the script for the relaunch of the Predator series for 20th Century…
Variety floats out a report that has been circulating around H’wood since Friday – 20th Century Fox has closed down Fox Atomic, the production company responsible for 28 Weeks Later, The Hills Have Eyes II, and many other films in the genre. Atomic was hoping to make its biggest mark later this year with two potentially commercial films: the July 10 opener “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” directed by Chris Columbus and starring Hayden Panettiere, and “Jennifer’s Body,” the Diablo Cody-scripted, Karyn Kusama-directed horror film that stars Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried. That film will be released Sept. 18. It’s…
You’ve already seen young Cyclops in the trailer to May’s Wolverine movie, and you may be seeing more of him in the near future (providing he doesn’t agree to appear in a DC Comics movie). In an interview with Fox Movie Channel, franchise producer Lauren Shuler did say the X-Men: First Class movie was on the way and would be a flashback flick featuring the young versions of the mutants we’ve all come to love. It is the first class of Xavier’s school, way back when, so it’s young Scott, young Jean, young Beast and that’ll be really fun… I…
Hoping to cut costs and keep the company afloat, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. not only announced it may cut 800 jobs, it is also canceling orders for The Simpsons and The Martha Stewart Show. Martha I can understand, as that seems to be more of a method of torture than entertainment, but to deny our America’s Hat brethren the antics of those silly yellow people, is simply no way to run a television network. The pubcaster also said it will lower license fees and order fewer episodes of such popular Canadian TV series as “The Border,” “Being Erica,” and “Little…
If Boom! Studios was the company to watch in 2008, then the company is the one to cause the bigger companies to quake in 2009 as the company continues to make major announcements left and right. The latest has Fox Atomic, a division of 20th Century Fox, teaming up with Boom! for a Fox Atomic Comics imprint under the Boom! banner. Check out the entire press release for the full details.
Last month, Disney announced it wouldn’t continue the Narnia series, leaving audiences wondering what would happen the magical land. 20th Century Fox has negotiated and will partner with Walden film to bring Voyage of the Dawn Treader to theaters during the 2010 holiday season. From what the Hollywood Reporter is stating, the director and producer of the first films are returning, and at least one of the actors will reprise his role as well. via THR
H’wood is once again throwing originality out the window and diving into your childhood to bring the A-Team television show to the big screen. Ridley Scott, Jules Daly, and Stephen J. Cannell are all on board to produce the film with Joe Carnahan set to direct. Carnahan and the Scott brothers say they will use the original premise of the series as the template for an action film. In the original, four Vietnam vets convicted of armed robbery escape from military prison and became do-gooder mercenaries. The Middle East will replace Vietnam as the place the four did their tour…
Who’s missing in this picture? Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool; Taylor Kitsch as Gambit; Hugh Jackman as Wolverine; Liev Schreiber as Sabretooth and Lynn Collins as Silver Fox.  Where is the love for the Blob? A fat guy that rips your guts out and eats them on panel can’t get a little love?
