By Jess Lomas June 11, 2013 The dynamic teaming of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson helps The Internship scrape by as an enjoyable comedy, although we’d be reluctant to offer it a full time job.

Here’s an odd one. General Motors may put up the cash for Warner Bros.’ reboot of Cannonball Run, which the studio wants Guy Ritchie to helm. It gets crazier. According to Vulture, Ritchie would like to recruit Brad Pitt, George Clooney and some of their Ocean’s Eleven co-stars to appear in the flick. The original Cannonball Run films – […]

Real Steel – Starring Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo and Evangeline Lilly. Directed by Shawn Levy. Rated M. By Simon Miraudo. At the end of this decade, everything will be pretty much the same as it is now, with two gargantuan exceptions: 12-foot-tall boxing robots will become our primary source of entertainment, and, if Hugh Jackman’s […]

Real Steel director Shawn Levy has revealed he and star Hugh Jackman will return for a sequel to their robot-boxing opus, despite the fact the first film is yet to even be released.

July 6, 2011 7 Comments
It doesn’t take a genius to guess why Disney would want a fifth Pirates of the Caribbean movie, what with the fourth instalment collecting over a billion dollars at the worldwide box office and becoming the seventh highest grossing film of all time. Of course, any sequel – and its success – would hinge on […]

Critical consensus surmises that, upon taking over from Gore Verbinski, director Rob Marshall gave Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides a bland handling. Our own Simon Miraudo wasn’t exactly blown away, and Margaret Pomeranz commented that the franchise had reached its use by date. So it makes sense that measured star Johnny Depp is […]

It’s probably also fairly safe to assume that no one’s had the opportunity to see that story from fair Rosalind’s point of view … yet. According […]

USA Today have the first image from the set of Shawn Levy‘s futuristic robot-boxing movie Real Steel starring Hugh Jackman. Look, there it is! OK, so it’s a “futuristic robot-boxing movie”, which depending on the execution could be a really cool action film, or seem like the incomprehensible fever dream of an eight-year-old boy (not […]
