Will Paul Ws Anderson Helm 'Castlevania'?
13 November 2009 9:10 PM, PST | CinemaSpy | See recent CinemaSpy news »
The Castlevania film, based upon the Konami game, seems to be going through a difficult birthing process. After an announced start date passed and original director Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard) moved on to other things, James Wan (Saw) signed on to co-write and direct the project, with Paul Ws Anderson producing. "I'm very fresh on this project, so its early stages and I'm still trying to work things out, but the producers love my vision for it," Wan told the media.
Then news about the project all but dried up. Until today. On the Toronto set of Resident Evil: Afterlife, producer Jeremy Bolt told Styd that Anderson is once again circling Castlevania and is currently waiting for the script.
No word, however, as to what role Anderson will play in the film: producer, director...or perhaps both.
Bolt added that Anderson is also looking to adapt Konami's 'Metal Gear Solid' for the big screen. »
Milla Jovovich is Just One of the Faces in the Crowd
1 November 2009 3:45 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Variety reports that Milla Jovovich is set to join Faces in the Crowd after she finishes work on Resident Evil: Afterlife. Jovovich will play the survivor of a serial killer attack who ends up "face blind," i.e. unable to remember faces. Despite her condition, the killer is hunting her down to finish the job.
Faces in the Crowd marks the English-language debut of French writer/director Julien Magnat, who will have help from producers Sylvain White (Stomp the Yard and the upcoming The Losers) and Scott Mednick (Where the Wild Things Are), who in particular was very impressed with the Magnat's script. "Julien has written a breathtaking thriller that is truly original, and I was hooked from the first read," said Mednick.
Faces in the Crowd begins shooting next March. An early promotional poster can be seen here and will be used to sell the movie internationally at the American Film Market. »

Frank Miller's Sin City 2 and Hard Boiled in the Works
29 October 2009 3:38 AM, PDT | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »
Film adaptations of comic book visionary Frank Miller's 300 and Sin City graphic novels have generated more than $280 million at the box office, so it's not surprising that more of Miller's ideas will be coming to the big screen soon.
Back in June, director Zack Snyder announced his interest in making a sequel or prequel to 300, and in September actor Clive Owen, who played Dwight in Sin City, announced that a sequel to Sin City might be in the works. Also in September, it was announced that Sylvain White might be directing a 3-D adaptation of Miller's Ronin graphic novel.
Now, there's confirmation from producer Stephen L'Heureux of Solipsist Films that production on Sin City 2 will begin in late 2010 from an original script by Miller, who will co-direct with Robert Rodriguez. In a recent interview with Mania, L'Heureux also announced that another of Miller's graphic novels, Hard Boiled, is being developed for the screen. »

Five Cool Movies For Spring 2010
23 October 2009 3:12 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
It’s a slow week for movie releases, with Fantastic Mr. Fox the only release of note in the UK, along with Cirque Du Freak. Most of the remaining big films this year are due out in November and December.
So, with the big winter films already hyped to the max, and with Iron Man 2, Clash of the Titans and Robin Hood being the highly anticipated movies this Spring, I thought i’d take a look at some Spring movies that maybe aren’t getting the attention they deserve – The Losers, Green Zone, A Couple of Dicks, Machete and Kick-Ass. Note, this is a list of the films i’m personally looking forward to, so you won’t necessarily agree with me…
When is it? – 9th April.
Where is it? – Currently filming in Puerto Rico
Who is it? – Directed by Sylvain White, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, »

'Stomp the Yard 2' finds director
23 October 2009 1:32 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
I know this is absolutely no news to you, but I like to repeat it every now and then: there is absolutely no hope left for Hollywood. The sloppy sequels and remakes are winning, and it gets worse every day.
As you may have heard, Sylvain White's "Stomp the Yard" is getting a sequel too, and the film now officially has a director: Rob Hardy, who helmed 2005's "The Gospel" and produced the first "Yard."
The follow-up to the mediocre drama is titled "Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming," and as The Hollywood Reporter points out, Columbus Short ("Armored") may return as a talented street dancer.
No need to explain what happened in the first film, because you can guess it already from these few words: street dancer, college, and zzzzzzzzz.... The first film bagged more then $74 million, by the way. »

Speaking about the casting of Saldana for the part, writer Andy Diggle who wrote the series opened up, "Aisha has to be deadly and desirable in equal measure, and Zoe embodies both qualities in spades." He furthermore added by promising, "Trust me, you've never seen her kick ass the way she does in The Losers!"

New Set Pic from ‘The Losers’

We shared the first images of the Warner Brothers’ film The Losers a little over a month ago. Now, thanks to the power of Twitter, we have a new image from the set of the film. Actor Idris Elba (The Wire) tweeted the picture, which features himself, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, Óscar Jaenada and Jeffrey Dean Morgan looking appropriately bad-ass as they wait on the film’s Puerto Rican set.
The Losers, which also features Star Trek’s Zoe Saldana, revolves around an ex-cia Black Ops team who seek revenge against the mysterious Max (played by Jason Patric), their former handler and the man who betrayed them. The film is based on the Eisner-nominated DC/Vertigo comic book series of the same name, which ran from 2003 to 2006.

Sylvain White's big comic book adaptation of The Losers has been shooting in Puerto Rico for the last few months. It's one of a few comic book adaptations coming up next year that I'm looking forward to quite a bit, namely because the cast is so awesome. Thanks to Idris Elba's Twitter (via Collider), we now have our very first unofficial look at five of the Losers in costume on the set in Puerto Rico. From left to right, you'll see: Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Chris Evans, Oscar Jaenada, and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Sure it's not much, but I think this looks cool, and I'm already getting excited for this just seeing basic shots like this. Take a look! Originally a Special Forces team seconded to the CIA in the 90s, the Losers were betrayed by their handler, Max, and left for dead following the conclusion of their operation. »

Geek gossip: X-Men: First Class, Priest, Spider-Man 4 in IMAX, Ronin in 3D?
18 September 2009 6:09 PM, PDT | The Geek Files | See recent The Geek Files news »
Australian actor Tim Pocock says a message on his Twitter account hinting X-Men First: Class would go into production next year was bogus.
Pocock, 23, who played young Cyclops in X-Men Origins: Wolverine and is set to reprise the role in First Class, put a later note on his Twitter page claiming he was the victim of a cruel prank. He added there was no official word on First Class.
The general view in geekdom is that either his account was hacked or that he was reprimanded by studio executives and forced to backtrack.
Either way, the revelation that First Class might get under way next year didn't exactly spill all the secrets on the film or compromise national security; if anything, the speed with which it flew across the internet only served to show the interest in seeing further X-Men material. Bring it on!
Meanwhile, three new cast members have »
