Geeks — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 06:15:57 +0000

When the film adaptation of the greatest action-comedy show of the 80’s is directed by a wild talent like Carnahan, you KNOW the A-Team will have some of the most off-the-hook action possible. But the A-Team was more than just guns and bombs, it was a group of four men who looked out for each other like brothers, and if we’re going to see Hannibal, Face, Murdock and B.A. come to life all over again on the big screen, Carnahan has his work cut out for him making that classic 4-way bromance sing.

Geeks — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 19:41:27 +0000

With with Liam Neeson, Ralph Fiennes, the Incredible Hulk’s pulse-pounder of a director, Louis Leterrier has managed to round up some of finest thespians to play the Gods of Mount Olympus and added to that the heir-apparent to the action-superstar mantle in Sam Worthington, all to be able to tell one of the oldest stories in Greek Mythology, and to remake the 1981 Clash of the Titans. This one already seems like a winner just from the names involved and from what we’ve seen in trailers, so take a look at six exclusive scenes from the movie as well as interviews with the cast and crew to judge for yourself!

Nearly 70 years after Lon Chaney Jr. first howled at the moon, Benicio Del Toro is slipping into his signature hair, ears and underbite to bring the classic Universal monster to life in Joe Johnston’s remake of The Wolf Man. With Anthony Hopkins, Hugo Weaving and Emily Blunt along for the ride, and the visual effects make-up artist behind The Howling and An American Werewolf in London, it looks like this remake has got some serious teeth.

Geeks — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:51:25 +0000

SO sit back, relax, and get freaked out by these clips from the film and see Ryan & Rodrigo the night of the Sundance premiere!

SHERLOCK HOLMES PREVIEW: Victorian Street Elementary, My Dear Watson

Geeks — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 23:49:57 +0000

If you’re looking for a director who can completely erase stuffy, old British boredom, you don’t have to go any further than Guy Ritchie. And so giving him the reigns to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous Victorian detective seems like something of an inspired gamble. With Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law taking the roles of Holmes and Watson, and Canadian starlet Rachel McAdams playing a deliciously villainous love interest, the cast is as strong as the source material, but we’ll have to wait until Christmas to see what’s inside the packaging.

2012 PREVIEW: Mayhem and Carnage, Straight Up!

Geeks — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 00:04:53 +0000

When Roland Emmerich destroys the world, he does it with a certain panache. Independence Day, Godzilla, Day After Tomorrow are some of his previous epic disaster movies and 2012 looks to be kicking it up yet again. With an off-beat cast including genre favourites like John Cusack, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Woody Harrelson, the Mayan doomsday is compounded by a government conspiracy and some of the biggest scale earth-ending images we’ve ever seen!

WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE PREVIEW: Sendak + Jonze = Awesome?

Geeks — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:08:20 +0000

Watch scenes from the movie and interviews with the cast and crew! It’s taken decades to finally happen, but Maurice Sendak’s beloved children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are has finally been adapted to the silver screen. The only thing less predictable is that the director who would accomplish this feat is Spike Jonze! With a history of wild music videos and MTV’s Jackass under his belt, he’d seem an unlikely choice, but he’s been friends with Sendak for years and after plenty of buzz about re-fanging the controversial 60’s book for a modern audience, this creature effect driven story about childhood is finally ready!
