The rumor last week that Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron [CTHER] and British actor Tom Hardy [THARD] have been cast in Mad Max 4: Fury Road [MMAX4] has been confirmed by the trades Mel Gibson will not return after starring in the three previous installments. The new leading man Hardy first came of note as the villain in Star Trek: Nemesis playing a young clone of Captain Picard, but broke through this year with his acclaimed title role in Bronson [BRONS].

Halloween weekend brings the most famous Thriller to the multiplex. As the lone new wide release, Michael Jackson’s This Is It [JACKO] concert documentary should easily finish in first place. The King of Pop was preparing for 50 concert dates in London when he died accidentally. Fortunately for fans (and the promoters), the rehearsals were filmed in HD and the rights were promptly sold to Sony for $60 million. The assembled documentary gives fans a chance to both grieve and celebrate...
The new three and half minutes trailer for the $300 million film Avatar [AVATR] is now online. While the first trailer just teased the state of the art CG effects, the new trailer focused on the story, sorta a Pocahontas in space, that will draw you into the world of James Cameron's [JCAME] Pandora.
It's Matt Damon trailer day as Warner Bros. debuts the trailer to his next film Invictus [INVIC] on Apple. Damon [MDAMO] stars as the Captain of the South African Rugby team who joined forces with newly elected President Nelson Mandela, a role Morgan Freeman [MFREE] was born to play, to rally and unite their country after the end of Apartheid. Hollywood has been trying to craft a biographical drama of Mandela for years, but South Africa's tumultuous socio-political history proved too dense....
Since films about the war in the Middle East haven't done particular well at the box office, I guess it doesn't hurt to try and sell Green Zone [GREZN] as an urban police thriller, especially one that cost upwards of $100 million. Reuniting with his Bourne director Paul Greengrass [PGRREE], Matt Damon [MDAMO] stars as an American soldier trying to nab the bad guys while dealing with the bureaucracy of the provisional government. The book that served as the source material looked at the...
Joel and Ethan Coen are lining up an A-list cast for their remake of the 1969 western True Grit [TGRIT]. Josh Brolin [JBROL], who wore the white hat in the Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men, will reunite with the Coen Brothers [COEN] and wear the dark hat as the villain who killed the father of a teenage girl. Matt Damon [MDAMO] is in talks to play a Texas Ranger on his trails. Jeff Bridges [JBRID] was previously attached to play U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, the role originated by...
In its fifth week of release, Paramount’s Paranormal Activity [PNACT] finally ascended to the top of the weekend box office. In its nationwide expansion to 1945 theaters, the R-rated horror film scared up an estimated $22 million, up 12% from last week. The success has been driven by mainly by word of mouth, as Paramount has spent less than $10 million on marketing. With $62.5 million and counting in the bank, Paranormal Activity is the new King of Halloween.
Capping an abrupt end to a...
A director in Hollywood must have their own ideas and be able to rely on their resourcefulness to see a project through. For Award-winning helmer Mira Nair [MNAIR] working within mainstream Hollywood has dulled her unique niche. Unfortunately, Nair’s latest film Amelia [AMELA], falls short of expectations, but stands as an event in the director’s career.
Nair started out directing documentaries but came onto the scene with 1988’s Salaam Bombay, which received a Foreign Film Oscar...
The first publicity photo of the soldiers of fortune known as The A-Team [ATEAM] is online at /Film. The feature adaptation of the 1980s TV series stars Liam Neeson [LNEES] as John 'Hannibal' Smith, Bradley Cooper [BCOOP] as Templeton 'Faceman' Peck, Sharlto Copely [SCOPL] as H.M. Murdock and Quinton Jackson [QJACK] as B.A. Baracus.
Looks like a pretty good representation of the original cast.
