Peter Jackson, as you can imagine, has been rather busy lately, but recently good news has come by way of the writer-director’s Facebook page -- Yes, that’s right; that moment Lord of the Rings fans have been waiting so long for has just come another step closer - after 266 days of production that kicked off in March of 2011, both The Hobbit films have...

And this...
Last night the AFI festival hosted the first public screening of director Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin. Or, that is to say, the first public screening in America - the film has been open outside of the U.S. for more than a month, and has already made over $100 Million internationally. Spielberg's first animated/motion-captured film, it stars Jamie...
One of the most exciting-looking movies of the summer is Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Though 20th Century Fox hasn't always treated the franchise with respect - either in the original run or in it's re-imagined Tim Burton fiasco - but the story is durable because man's relationship to nature and meddling scientists are an evergreen subject. Now there's a new teaser...
Though he'd been acting before, Andy Serkis made a name for himself with the motion capture performance in the Lord of the Rings films. Since then he's become one of the leading motion-capture actors, and has been constantly working.

A couple new photos have surfaced from two established film franchises. The first one is from the set Scream 4 and it features the masked killer, Ghostface.

Whenever a CGI creature is one of the central characters in a film there's only man capable of bringing them to life -- Andy Serkis! The actor who played Gollum in The Lord of the Rings has landed a new gig as the "main ape" in the Planet of the Apes prequel, Rise of the Apes. According to 20th Century Fox, he's...
We're really looking forward to John Landis' adaptation of Burke and Hare. Not just because of Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis but because it marks Landis' return to feature films. He's been away for too long and it's time for him to get back to his roots, horror and comedy! Over at /Film, they've gotten a hold of an early poster for the film that features the title...
We should have known that it was too good to be true. Our favorite "Dr. Who," David Tennant will no longer star in the upcoming dark comedy, Burke & Hare. It's the first film that director John Landis has helmed in what seems like forever and it originally had Tennant starring opposite Simon Pegg. If that wasn't a recipe for greatness I don't know what is....
Busy director, producer, and writer Guillermo del Toro recently opened up about a few of his most high profile projects.

Remember after school reading programs? The annual book fair, or dare I say the “Bookmobile?” After watching Lain Softley’s adaptation of Cornelia Funke’s novel Inkheart, that’s all I could think of.
