Because The Avengers is kicking things off just a little earlier than scheduled so it can close the Tribeca Film Festival this month.

I’m pretty sure that out of all of the potential sequels to 23-year-old films, no one was expecting a sequel to “Twins.” Well, it’s coming. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito are reteaming via Universal Pictures and Montecito Pictures for the sequel, called “Triplets.” The real selling point here is that Eddie Murphy has been cast to play the duo’s long-lost brother. Something like this could be possible, since the original film’s premise was about two brothers who were conceived in an experimental fashion. But who really cares about the possibility of this happening in real life? What everyone will want to see is great comedy.  [ Read More ]

Sure, it’s fun getting early peeks at upcoming productions, but it’s a different story if those first looks are coming from anywhere else, but the studio in charge. Hearing that John Travolta, Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme may be in The Expendables 2 from the Nu Boyana Studios CEO? Good. Seeing official images of Anne Hathaway, Henry Cavill and Rihanna in full costume for The Dark Knight Rises, Man of Steel and Battleship respectively? Awesome. A parody video by Miles Fisher starring the entire cast of Final Destination 5? Bloody fantastic! Amateur photos and video of folks hanging around the set of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises? Now  [ Read More ]

Its sequel, also from director James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, was a worldwide smash that stood at the forefront of a special effects revolution, but a lot of folks forget the brutal, streamlined efficiency of 1984′s The “Terminator”, which laid all the groundwork for the labyrinthine Skynet conspiracies of a trio of other futuristic-killing-machine flicks as well as assorted media tie-ins and even, eventually, screaming Christian Bale soundboards. The film was part of distributor Sony’s first wave of Blu-ray titles five years ago (and arguably the most preferable, given company like “50 First Dates”, “Hitch” and “xXx”), but gets another pass with this special, limited edition Blu-ray release, in  [ Read More ]

Hollywood is all about mining for old properties to remake and cash-in on an established fan base. This is nothing new and should always be expected.
