Continue readingHansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters sequel in the works
Despite being met with a collective shrug by American cinemagoers (and almost all critics), Paramount has given the green light to a Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters sequel.

Continue readingInterview: Tommy Wirkola (Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters)
By Simon Miraudo February 5, 2013 Norwegian writer-director Tommy Wirkola made a name for himself with the undead Nazi horror flick Dead Snow, but pitched the premise of his first English-language feature Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters years earlier (while studying in Australia, no less). His teacher worryingly advised him to not “ever speak of […]
Continue readingOh brother – Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters review
By Simon Miraudo February 4, 2013 Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters is a silly, silly movie; a critique built into its very title. But don’t be fooled into thinking it delivers what’s printed on the tin! The name promises stupid fun, but only provides the former. This thing is supposedly meant to be funny, yet […]

The first trailer for Hansel and Gretel – Witch Hunters has arrived, flaunting creepy witches and gun-toting siblings Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton fifteen years after they emerged victorious from the candy covered house.

Continue readingThe spy who replaced me – The Bourne Legacy review
The Bourne Legacy – Starring Jeremy Renner, Rachel Weisz, and Edward Norton. Directed by Tony Gilroy. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. “There was never just one,” the posters for The Bourne Legacy tease.

The feature trailer for the Bourne movie without Bourne – The Bourne Legacy – has arrived online.

Continue readingTeaser and Poster Debut: The Bourne Legacy
Bourne is back! Kinda! Although Matt Damon is nowhere to be seen in the brand new teaser for The Bourne Legacy, we have a bruised and battered Jeremy Renner signing up for the same super-spy program that turned Jason Bourne into a killing machine. There isn’t much in the trailer that isn’t obscured by black […]
Continue readingSuperbowl Trailer Debut: The Avengers
A brand new trailer for Joss Whedon‘s Marvel team-up flick The Avengers debuted during the Superbowl.

The clip features brand new footage of The Avengers in action, including a […]
Continue readingChoose to accept – Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol review
Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol – Starring Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg. Directed by Brad Bird. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. The Mission: Impossible franchise is one of the most uneven in cinematic history, with the quality wildly fluctuating from one instalment to the next. The Brian De Palma-directed opener was promising, if deeply […]

Although we don’t yet know who the winner of the great Snow White showdown of 2012 will be, there’s a good chance neither will be the reigning fairytale-reboot champ of the year. Entertainment Weekly has posted the first official image from Hansel & Gretel Witch Hunters, starring Gemma Arterton and the suddenly-ubiquitous Jeremy Renner as the […]

Brand new high-resolution photos from Joss Whedon’s Marvel team-up flick The Avengers have landed online (courtesy of Superhero Hype). They feature our heroes doing all sorts of heroic things (and, in one not-so-heroic instance, staring at the sky with a look of puzzlement).

Continue readingEdward Norton might play villain in The Bourne Legacy
Edward Norton‘s already bright star was set to shoot into the stratosphere following Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk. Instead, the famously-difficult actor saw the opposite take place: his last three films performed dismally at the U.S. box office (and headed direct-to-DVD here in Australia) and Mark Ruffalo took his place as Hulk in The Avengers. Well, let […]
Continue readingTrailer Debut: Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol
The first teaser trailer for Mission Impossible – Ghost Protocol has debuted online, featuring Tom Cruise once again doing the impossible. The question is: does ‘the impossible’ include resurrecting the M:I franchise?

The very first teaser poster for the Marvel team-up flick The Avengers debuted at the Licensing International Expo this past weekend, and is now online for you to salivate over (courtesy of Slashfilm).

Continue readingJoaquin Phoenix in talks for P.T. Anderson’s religious drama
Joaquin Phoenix almost torpedoed his career with a faux-flameout in the celebrity mockumentary I’m Still Here (totally worth it, in my opinion). According to Variety, he’s getting back on track in the most exciting of ways. Phoenix is in talks to star in Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Untitled Religious Drama (formerly known as The Master) as […]
