Seth Rogen’s “The Apocalypse” set up at Sony
Seth Rogen has had a productive working relationship with Sony (“The Green Hornet” and “Pineapple Express” both crossed $100M worldwide), so it’s easy to see why the studio would take a chance on a Rogen pitch that will end up being his directorial debut. “The Apocalypse” extends a short film Rogen wrote with his regular...
Sylvester Stallone carries Expendables 2
“Expendables 2,” out next summer, has a bevy of action-hero names in its ensemble, but the new poster released by Lionsgate reminds us that one muscular star sits at the center of this macho universe. Sylvester Stallone. Sly deserves to carry this poster on his own. He’s the creative force behind the franchise (even though...
The Hunger Games poster hits
Ironically, I just hung up the phone with Woody Harrelson, and while we focused mainly on his ferocious turn in “Rampart,” I had to ask a few questions about “The Hunger Games.” And now, a poster! Clearly, Gary Ross’s adaptation of the best-selling futuristic novel is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012 (which...

Snow White isn’t the only fairy tale character getting a serious makeover for 2012.

Paramount Pictures announced that Brad Bird’s “Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol,” the fourth installment in the action-packed spy franchise, will open this year’s Dubai International Film Festival on Dec. 7.

Steven Spielberg “War Horse”
Finally, the last few Oscar contenders (or, at least, perceived Oscar contenders) are starting to show face, giving a little more clarity to the ever-developing awards race.

Tintin chosen as Closing Night for AFI Fest
Now that Steven Spielberg’s “The Adventures of Tintin” has opened overseas (to exceptional box office), it was only a matter of time before the anticipated animated adventure started to sneak peek in the States.

Taylor Swift may sure over alleged nude photos
Country music superstar Taylor Swift’s the last celebrity most of us think would get caught up in a nude photos scandal, so I tend to believe the singer when she says a recent batch of racy candids that showed up on a tabloid Web site. TMZ says Swift threatens to sue Celebrity Jihad over topless...
Expendables 2 stuntman dies in explosion
It has been an extremely unfortunate week for Sylvester Stallone’s “Expendables” franchise. Earlier, the property was sued for copyright infringement after a screenwriter claimed Stallone and his team lifted key concepts for their premise. Today, we’re learning of something much worse. A stuntman has been killed in a sequence for “The Expendables 2,” while another...

Peter and Bobby Farrelly have been in the headlines this week for two projects we’re eagerly anticipating.

Transformers sequel coming together
While promoting the latest “Transformers” movie, “Dark of the Moon,” franchise star Shia LaBeouf and director Michael Bay hinted that they were finished with the series after three, believing that they were exiting on a high note. Yet once the sequel surpassed $1 billion at the international box office, you had to know that more...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas for Leonardo DiCaprio fans, as they’ll have two (very different) DiCaprio films to choose from on Christmas Day in 2012. Providing release dates hold up – which is rare these days – Baz Luhrmann’s “The Great Gatsby” will open up against Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” next Christmas....
