Move Over Spidey - It's 'Superman: The Musical'!

8 December 2009 1:02 PM, PST | Cinematical | See recent Cinematical news »

Poor Superman. The price for being the most iconic of superheroes is that you end up with far, far more hideous adaptations. You may have thought Batman held that title with Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, but he has nothing on Superman, who not only wound up with Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace on his resume, but a musical, too! True Superman fans have probably heard of It's a Bird ... It's a Plane ...It's Superman, but the youngest among them have never seen it. Until now.

Thanks to the Internet, nothing terrible ever dies. The 1975 ABC special of It's a Bird has made its way to Google Video, and is embedded below for your viewing pleasure. Surprisingly, this actually enjoyed some success on Broadway, and even was revived in Los Angeles in 2007, though I'm not sure why. I realize individual opinion is just that, but this is honestly terrible. »

Producers cut ‘Beverly Hills Cop 2′ & ‘3′ from upcoming sequel

16 October 2009 2:04 PM, PDT | ReelLoop.com | See recent Reel Loop news »

Beverly Hills Cop 4 will be a sequel to the original 1984 Martin Brest film and will toss aside Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3.

Directed by Brett Ratner and written by Derek Haas and Michael Brandt, Beverly Hills Cop 4 will bring back detectives Billy Rosewood (Judge Reinhold) and John Taggart (John Ashton). Reinhold is reportedly on board for the project while Ashton is in final negotiations.

Haas and Brandt, who collaborated on 3:10 to Yuma and Wanted (both were adaptations from previous source material), will adapt their script for Dying Day, a film centered on a two FBI agents who discover that the entire office is on the take. The story will lean towards a dark comedy but provide ample opportunities for Eddie Murphy to provide some laughter.

The news is reminiscent of Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns which nixed the Superman III and Superman IV from super-history in order to bring the »

Sr Pick [Video]: The Dark Knight vs. Blade Trailer

12 October 2009 8:09 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

Bloodthirsty creatures of the night are stalking the streets of Gotham City. They are the undead, and they hunger for the blood of Gotham’s citizens. As one savage killing leads to another, Gotham’s Dark Knight, Batman, takes to the moonlit streets to track down the bloodsucking killers before Gotham is overrun by legions of the undead.

However, Batman is not the only one on the case - for where there are vampires there is Blade, the vampire hunter hellbent on his mission to rid the world of nightstalkers forever. But when The Day Walker clashes with The Dark Knight, can the two heroes put aside their differences to save Gotham from the vampire hordes?

 

That very question is the heart of the new upcoming superhero crossover film, The Dark Knight vs. Blade, and we here at Screen Rant have your very first look at the full theatrical trailer! »

Sitges '09: My Sitges Story - Part 2

5 October 2009 10:05 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

Sunday, October 4

So I do my best to get to bed early the night before my first full day at Spain’s Sitges film festival (see first entry here), but after only five hours, I’m wide awake and unable to sleep another wink. Nonetheless, I will do my darnedest to persevere through at least three movies today.

First film on my line-up is the premiere of director Andrew Monument’s documentary Nightmares In Red, White & Blue: The Evolution Of The American Horror Film, which is screening at one of the festival’s secondary venues, the Prado, located in town. With none of the filmmakers on hand, including writer Joseph Maddrey, whose book served as the basis of the film, I’ve been asked to moderate the screening, as I am one of the interviewees in the production. Although it is 10 a.m. and no one in Sitges seems to hit the sack until 7 a. »

Stephenson Shaken After Samoan Tsunami

5 October 2009 5:17 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Actress Pamela Stephenson has paid tribute to the "extraordinary" people of Samoa after the country was devastated by a tsunami on Tuesday.

The Superman III star, who has been living in the South Pacific country, was terrified after an earthquake shook her hilltop home, and is still struggling to cope with the damage caused by a resulting tidal wave.

And Stephenson, who is married to Scottish funnyman Billy Connolly, is still picking up the pieces of her life after losing a friend in the giant waves.

The star writes in Britain's Guardian newspaper, "Huge piles of debris lay everywhere; it was clear the wave had whacked every structure with incredible might.

"Cars teetered where they had been thrown, on top of rubble from collapsed dwellings. Fridges and air conditioners floated in the sea.

"I looked along the bay and saw that a well-known jetty was missing. So were villages that once lined the shore."

Stephenson has since been amazed by the Samoan people: "Many are homeless, but the extended family system means they will stay with relatives in other villages. Samoans are extraordinary people, and their resilience is evident."

At least 110 people were killed when the tidal wave, triggered by a powerful 8.3-magnitude earthquake, surged onto the remote Pacific island. »

Five Projects for Dce to Jump On, Day 4: New ‘Superman’ Film

17 September 2009 8:51 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

Superman has had both a wonderful and rocky career on the big screen. The film commonly referred to as Superman ‘78 by nerds like myself set the high mark for how good not only a Superman movie could be but a comic book movie in general It’s sequel, while having major problems due to infighting and a switching directors, is loved by a lot of people. Sadly after Superman II the drop of is dramatic. I don’t need to go into the details, but trying to sit through Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, is really difficult to do.

As we all know Superman Returns was supposed to be the return to greatness for the franchise and while the movie isn’t terrible, it’s not the film fans had waited decades to see. To make a boring drawn out story about how Superman is dealing »

The Beatles: Four Fab Performances For Screens Large And Small

9 September 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

I'm not really sure that The Beatles were ever "bigger than Jesus," but they were still kind of a big deal. They made music that will be remembered through the ages and they were the focal point of what we nowadays think of offhandedly as a "pop culture phenomenon," one of the earliest really. Before "Twilight," before Britney Spears, before Michael Jackson... there was Beatlemania.

That said, the Fab Four weren't just musicians. That's what they were known for, sure, but the sort of fame they achieved has a tendency to open doors to other opportunities. Through the years, the four Beatles have all worked in Hollywood to varying degrees. And so, in honor of today's highly anticipated release of "The Beatles: Rock Band" -- not to mention the re-release of their entire catalog, newly remastered -- I give you these four fab screen performances from the Fab Four.

Top Ten Tuesday: Comedians Turned Actors

28 July 2009 7:29 AM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »

They make us laugh.  They make us cry.  Okay, maybe not so much.  But they sure make us laugh.  In honor of Judd Apatow’s latest film about stand-up comedians, we felt it was time to come up with our top 10 list of comedians turned actors.  Some of them have found more success in one area over the other.  Others have done a fine job walking the line between the two.  Regardless of how the success is dispersed, each individual on this list has reached it at some point in their career.

10. Chris Farley

One of the most successful SNL stars to branch out into the film world, Chris Farley is a legend in the comedy world.  Imagine if he had survived longer than his 33 years.  One of the most iconic images in the last 20 years of SNL is Farley dressed as a Chippendale’s dancer along with Patrick Swayze. »

Superman costume to go under the hammer

13 May 2009 4:41 AM, PDT | Boxwish.com | See recent BoxWish news »

Wolverine might be hogging the comic book hero limelight at the moment with X-Men Origins: Wolverine, but will the leather jacket/ vest look as seen on hairy hunk Hugh Jackman be worth a small fortune in the future? Who knows, though it will have to go a long way to compete with that of Logan’s fellow crime-fighter Superman. The Man of Steel has been putting bums on cinema seats since the 70s and now one of the iconic Superman costumes as worn by the late Christopher Reeve is billed to go under the hammer later this month. Its expected price tag? A cool £7,500 to £10,000. Beat that Wolverine!

The costume will be available to the highest bidder at the Bonhams and Goodman Collectables auction on Sunday 24th May at 2pm at the Australian auction house’s Melbourne salerooms. The B&G website describes the costume as comprising “a leotard featuring »
