Back in 2009, Zack Snyder achieved what many thought impossible when he brought Alan Moore and Dave Hibbons seminal comic book Watchmen to the screen. However, things could have been different had Joel Silver (Lethal Weapon, Die Hard) had his way, with the producer spending much of the late 80s and the early 90s attempting […]

According to Deadline, Watchmen and The Conjuring star Patrick Wilson is set to join Marvel’s Phase Three-launching Ant-Man, although there’s no word yet as to which character he will be playing. Ant-Man is being directed by Edgar Wright (The World’s End), with Paul Rudd (Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues) playing Scott Lang and Michael Douglas […]

Gavin Logan reviews episode three of Fleming… After watching the third episode I’m getting the distinct feeling that my earlier conclusions on the mini-series are slowly but surely being confirmed. Started off well, promising something familiar yet new but really in the end only delivering a water-downed version of the famous cocktail, neither shaken or […]

Gavin Logan on the Oscar race for Best Original Song… With all the intense, anxious debate surrounding predictions, snubs, and “who are you wearing?” (like any of us really care) people could be forgiven for forgetting that the Oscars is supposed to fun. One of my favourite categories, and one that tends to get overlooked, […]

Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder caused quite a stir when it was announced that Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network, Now You See Me) had secured the role of Lex Luthor in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel Batman vs. Superman. We’ve already heard the thoughts of Clancy Brown, the long-time voice of Lex in […]

We’re still six months away from the release of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, the follow-up to Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s 2005 cult classic, but according to Rodriguez, legendary comic book creator Miller is already turning his attention to the third instalment, having started work on Sin City 3. “I was just […]

Back in October, the long-planned Masters of the Universe live-action reboot was dealt a blow when director Jon M. Chu (G.I. Joe: Retaliation) chose to leave the project to focus his efforts on another 80s toy adaptation with G.I. Joe 3, but now it looks like Sony and Escape Artists are closing in on a […]

With a ten month delay on Batman vs. Superman, we’ve got a bit longer to wait before we see The Dark Knight going up against the Man of Steel, but if you’re desperate for any kind of Bat-crossover right now and ever happened to wonder how Bruce Wayne would fare against Skynet and its army […]

Anghus Houvouras with three reasons why Adam Driver is good for Star Wars: Episode VII…. Like a lot of you, I was a much bigger Star Wars fan before the prequels.  George Lucas’ ugly, garish, and wooden trips to a galaxy far, far away took a lot of luster off the lightsaber.  Since the Disney […]

Gary Collinson reviews Sophie’s Fortune… I first became aware of the work of Northern director Chris Cronin when I had the pleasure of watching his award-winning 2011 short Ante, a tight and suspenseful thriller which clearly demonstrated Chris’ potential as a filmmaker. Since Ante, he’s partnered up with rising producer Phil Meachem on a series […]
