X-Men: First Class new trailer online

At first I thought this new trailer for X-Men: First Class was the same as the foreign one that we saw release a few weeks ago, however it quickly changes and delivers a pretty powerful trailer for the film that should put to the side any doubts you might have...

Will Arnie return to the Terminator franchise?

It's almost too fantastic to believe, but the news is that Arnold Schwarzenegger's agency are what's called "shopping a package" to studios that includes Arnie as part of a new Terminator film. That sounds great, but the rights are still held by the hedge fund who shut down Halcyon, the...

World War Z still getting made?

Just a few months ago the story was that World War Z was looking too expensive for the studios and it might not get made. That concerned me because apart from the obvious reason, the film shouldn't be such a high cost unless they were filming huge zombie sequences that...

Another Ghostbusters star unsure of Ghostbusters III

We know that Bill Murray has been rather outspoken about Ghostbusters III and where it really is for him, and it stands as quite the contrast to the media courting that the production has been doing through Dan Aykroyd, a courting that sounds like someone talking about a production in...
