Yesterday afternoon Sony Pictures held a forty-five minute press conference for its upcoming ensemble drama Cadillac Records. Adrien Brody, Columbus Short, Gabrielle Union, Jeffrey Wright, and Eamonn Walker answered questions about the project in a noticeably strained atmosphere. Conspicuously absent was writer-director Darnell Martin, a TV veteran who’s previous feature credit was the 2005 adaptation of Their Eyes Were Watching God, starring Halle Berry.

Almost 30+ years after Harvey Milks fight, when the issue has again risen to the forefront of state and national politics, Gus Van Sant offers a stunning portrayal of the history of gay rights. In fact it’s timing is almost a little too perfect for Milk. I think Gus Van Sant intentionally threw the vote to make a point. Well maybe not.

Detailing the inspiring story of Harvey Milk, writer Dustin Lance Black and director Gus Van Sant illustrates broader implications of social and political change. The path to change is never an easy one and is filled with far more failures to overcome than successes to celebrate. For Harvey, like many others who fight for something they believe in, they only reach their greatest accomplishments through much devastation. But it’s worth it.

Kick ass! Nothing like some good devastation to get you excited about a film. I love the artwork in this poster. Turning the burning ruined town into the face of it’s destroyer. Really nicely done. Check out the other poster below. It’s more of a head shot.

If the first two The Incredible Hulk movies were a letdown to you, don’t fret, you likely will have a chance to give the series one more chance. As far as who the Hulk will have to battle in the next installment, CinemaBlend.com is reporting that role may very well go to Tim Blake Nelson – playing the role of Dr.Samuel Sterns.

Nelson is currently working with Norton on another film, Leaves of Grass, and says he has no idea if Norton will be returning to the franchise or not, but says he’s signed on for the second and third film, whether Norton comes on or not:

“Well, I’m signed on to do Hulk 2 and 3 whether Edward’s there or not, so it’s not even up to me. When I agreed to do Hulk, I signed off for two sequels, so it’s a moot question. I certainly hope Edward is on the sequel — but that’s up to Marvel and Edward.”

Seems like we’re losing a lot of the greats. All of them are at different stages in their careers, with different reasons behind their decisions, but they all agree on one thing, they want out of the biz. A few weeks ago Joaquin Phoenix announced that he would be leaving acting for a music career. Then Nicole Kidman said that after her next film she would be quitting the business in order to devote more time to her family. And now Clint Eastwood, a Hollywood Giant, decides it’s better to throw in the towel at the top of his game, than let the game beat him.

So what do you think?

Sometimes studios can really take logic out of movie making for the sake of making a buck. We heard rumors earlier this year of a prequel being made to the Will Smith blockbuster I Am Legend. It sounded pretty decent, and according to Cinematical, Smith himself had come up with a plausible story for the film.

“Smith is actually the one who developed the initial story. It took place several years before the original film and there were still pockets of survivors and the story centered around Smith interacting, bonding, and ultimately failing to save them.”

More on the sequel after the jump.

They say things come in threes. First it was Joaquin Phoenix. Then Nicole Kidman. Now, sadly, it’s a Hollywood icon. Yesterday during promotional efforts for his new film Gran Torino, Clint let the news out.

“You always want to quit while you are ahead,” he said to the Telegraph. “You don’t want to be like a fighter who stays too long in the ring until you’re not performing at your best.”  Read the full article here.
