1st Iron Man 2 Concept Art

We have our first glimpse at concept art from Adi Granova for "Iron Man 2." The new concept art is absolutely legit and features the front and back of a possible new suit. The design looks to have only made a few modications to the suit from the first film, specifically a sleeker design. For a black and grey hand drawn image it well done and goes to show Marvel and Jon Favreau are definately still going to deliver a quality film. Checkout the concept...

Two More Unfortunate Remakes

Sadly, two more enjoyable films are recieving the remake treatment. It has become all to common for quite some time now, to pick old properties that were remotely popular or made a good chunk of change and reboot or remake them for a new generation to enjoy. Most of these films have been terrible, a couple have been fun or even comparable to the original film. More than not though remakes have simply frustrated us. Today's news is no different....THR...

Four Inglourious Posters

Last week we got our first look at Quentin Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" trailer and this week comes a 4-pack of posters for the WWII film. The first poster leaves something to be desired and is just the logo for the film set to a backdrop of airbrushed clouds. The next three poster however are absolutely perfect. The posters definately capture the tone to the film in a very simple while still conveying a huge amount of impact. "Inglourious...

Jane Austen, Zombies & Aliens

One thing I never dreamed of writing about in the same sentence was Jane Austen, Zombies and Aliens. Aliens and Zombies, no biggie, but throw Jane Austen in the mix and you've officially made me scratch my head and get excited all at the same time. Zombies for some reason seem to brighten everyone's day, sure they want to eat your flesh, but they are so damn interesting. We have seen Zombies injected into comedy and work flawlessly, more recently...

Rebooting War Games?

Yet another lame idea from Hollywood! Production Weekly has published that a reboot of the 1983 film starring Matthew Broderick "War Games" is being developed by Leonardo DiCaprio with MGM.What a waste this project seems to be! Why remake such a classic film? What makes the idea so puzzling, that in today's world War Games could very easily be a disaster. The original film, set in 1983 with computers that were as big as Michael Bay's Transformers,...
