LITERAL REMAINS

So Joel Schumacher’s latest film Blood Creek has been dumped into a handful second-run and two-dollar theatres by Lionsgate without so much as a peep of notice. It’s a wonder then how it got itself such a badass poster art.
Blood Creek (as it is now known) stars Dominic Purcell, Henry Cavill, and Michael Fassbender. The [...]

HarperCollins is proud to announce the global publication of two posthumous Michael Crichton novels. The first, Pirate Latitudes, will be published on November 24, 2009; the second, as yet untitled, will be published in Fall 2010.
Pirate Latitudes is an adventure story about piracy in the New World. Set in 1665, when Jamaica was a British [...]

Universal’s big budget remake, The Wolfman, starring Benicio del Toro has been pushed back again.  Originally to have been released February 13th, 2009, it was moved to April 3rd, 2009, then again to November 6th of this year.  It has been moved, hopefully for the last time, to February 12th, 2010.  The wait had better be worth [...]

Dark Country – Trailer
The DVD streets on October 6th.

Jackie Earle Haley, who was the stand-out Rorschach in Watchmen, will be gracing the screen on April 16th, 2010, as the new Freddy Krueger.  I know, it’s going to be a challenge to accept anyone other than Robert Englund as Freddy.  At least it will be for me.  There’s not a lot to see in [...]

My problem with the first, and still only, Ghost Rider movie was that it was too jokey.  Correct if I’m wrong, it’s been years since I read the Ghost Rider comics, but wasn’t Ghost Rider a little bit darker than as portrayed by the film?  It’s that Ghost Rider I want to see.  I went [...]

I think there’s been a rumored feature film adaptation of Stephen King’s novel Cell ever since the book came out a few years ago.  The last that I had read was that Eli Roth, of Cabin Fever fame (I didn’t like the movie), was set to adapt and direct.  But that seemed to be pretty [...]

It’s official.  Ryan Reynolds, who most recently portrayed Deadpool in the Wolverine movie, is set to play Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern.  I hope they don’t screw this up.  I’ve always loved the Green Lantern, and I’ve always thought Hal Jordan was the best Green Lantern.  If Warner Bros. can keep this more like Batman Begins [...]

On July 30th Wolfenstein hits store shelves.  Are you ready?  If you haven’t played any of the Wolfenstein games, you don’t know what you’re missing.  There’s nothing like shooting Nazi zombies and all other manners of creatures of the night.  Come on, mad scientists?  Who doesn’t like evil mad scientists?

Of all the Russell Mulcahy-directed films I’ve seen, I think his best are The Shadow and Resident Evil:  Extinction.  Argue amongst yourselves.
Sadly, I don’t think good old Russell will be back for Resident Evil:  Afterlife.  Yes, I know, it upsets me too since Extinction was the best of the trilogy.  And I’m not being sarcastic; I [...]

And the job goes to…Nimrod Antal.  He directed the Kate Beckinsale/Luke Wilson winner Vacancy.  Yeah, this, uh, oh man God help us all. 
You know, Vacancy was okay up until the ending which completely sucked, but surely that doesn’t qualify Nimrod for the job of the new Predator.  You know, Freddy Got Fingered had a couple [...]
