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 ]

If the Beatles and the Rolling Stones spawned their own dueling fanbases, connoisseurs of late 1980s and early ’90s action flicks often have their own disagreements about the merits and appeal of Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude Van Damme. While the former generally smashed heads and cracked skulls with the disposition of a sullen ox, the latter had a more compact frame, and a kind of balletic karate skill set to match a slightly more engaging personality. Known as “The Muscles From Brussels,” the Belgian-born Van Damme would put his stamp on the action genre with a string of increasingly profitable hits like Death Warrant, Double Impact, Universal Soldier and Timecop,  [ Read More ]

We’ve got updates on The Expendables 2, Final Destination 5, The Hunger Games and so much more. Want to know more? You know what to do; check out this week’s Movie News Cheat Sheet! 1. Expendables 2 Poster and Synopsis: Just because The Expendables 2 still lacks a director and cast doesn’t mean it can’t have a poster and synopsis, right? This time last year, Expendables banners decorated the streets of Cannes and  [ Read More ]

The only thing that seemed to be missing from the 2010 summer blockbuster hit, “The Expendables”, was 90s action star, Jean-Claude Van Damme. Why wasn’t “the muscles from Brussels” in a movie full of action superstars from the 80s, 90s and 2000s. It seemed to be a huge glaring mistake in casting. Well, screenwriter Sheldon Lettich (“Bloodsport” and “Rambo III”) and long time friend of Van Damme told JCVD fan site, VanDammeFan.net, that the star of “Timecop” will be indeed cast in the sequel, “The Expendables 2″. But here’s the good news, not only will Jean-Claude Van Damme be in the movie, he will play one of the principle villains.  [ Read More ]

Hoping to continue the success he found last summer with his hit action film ‘The Expendables,’ Sylvester Stallone has signed onto to appear in the cop thriller ‘Headshot,’ Slashfilm.com is reporting. The movie, which is being helmed by ‘The Cooler’ director Wayne Kramer, will begin filming in New Orleans in May before it heads to New York City. ‘Headshot’ will follow Stallone’s character, who “teams with a young NYPD detective in a high-stakes investigation that leads from the dingy alleys of New Orleans all the way to the power corridors of Washington, D.C.”  The two, who meet after two vicious murders, sacrifice everything to get their revenge. There’s no word  [ Read More ]

2010 is over. No more. Done. Finito. Some are more than happy to kiss that year goodbye, while others wish it would have never ended. In the realm of movies, 2010 looked great in terms of box office receipts. However, even with the second highest grossing domestic box office of all-time ($10.5 billion) in the books, let’s just say the quality of the product put out, is far from what the numbers suggest in terms of stellar entertainment all year around. Yet 2010 did have a few exceptional moments. With all that said, here’s 20 topics, accompanied by my candid/stripped-down thoughts, on what caught my critical eyes in cinema for  [ Read More ]

With zero wide release competition in its way, it was obvious Resident Evil: Afterlife would take the top spot at the box office. But not only did Afterlife easily secure the #1 position, it also brought the Resident Evil franchise its biggest opening ever. The opening weekend haul has improved from film to film, the first taking in $17.7 million, Apocalypse earning $23 million, Extinction with $23.7 million and now Afterlife with $27.7 million. Milla Jovovich is likely a very happy lady because not only is this a franchise high, but a personal opening weekend best, too. Afterlife easily surpassed its $60 million budget earning $73.2 million worldwide. Screen Gems  [ Read More ]

The American may have snagged the #1 spot at the box office, but it’s not really a top honor this Labor Day weekend. It looks as though folks didn’t use their extra day off to head to the theater because The American only managed to bank $13.1 million. Tack on the film’s $3.1 million three-day head start and its $3.3 million holiday intake and that brings it to a total of $19.5 million, just short of its $20 million budget. Taking the #2 spot is newcomer Machete with a $14 million four-day opening weekend. Following close behind is last week’s top earner, Takers, which added another $13.5 million to its  [ Read More ]
