Dwayne Johnson Reviews, Interviews & More
Warner Bros. released the final poster for this summer's Man of Steel, and it's quite different from all of the others we've seen. In the last and latest one sheet, Henry Cavill gets his closeup as his superman is seen flying fast over Metropolis. You check out the poster below. Also, the first trailer for Kristen Wiig's comedy Girl Most Likely hit the web...
Thanks to surprising success of Fast Five in 2011, it will likely be a long time before Hollywood stops churning out films in the Fast and Furious franchise, in which two big bald guys (Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson) play games of cat and mouse while driving shiny cars really fast so man-children in the audience can feel cool when driving...
It's the end of April, which means that the summer season starts next week with Iron Man 3 (which is really good). Until then, we get a Michael Bay movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, which would normally be a big summer event, but since this is Bay's small art film, it's being released with the hope of having little competition and a quick payday.
Action fans both rejoice and take heed. It appears that Sylvester Stallone has cast Wesley Snipes in the next Expendables movie, and that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson may not be able to appear in Fast and Furious 7. So they give and they take.
Welcome to the gunshow. G.I. Joe Retaliation is where firepower, meets muscle and tanning oil. The sequel to 2009's Rise of Cobra is a livelier adaptation of the Hasbro property. That's not saying much considering the original film left much room for improvement. But director Jon M. Chu tries to right some of the wrongs plagued by its...
After years of making big, dumb, and almost sociopathically stupid CGI-heavy films like The Transformers franchise and The Island, Michael Bay is finally going back to the genre that he began in—big, dumb, and almost sociopathically stupid comedic action films that are well aware how utterly ridiculous they are (see also: Bad Boys, The...
Dwayne Johnson was born to play Roadblock. The actor's connection to G.I. Joe goes back to his childhood. Believe it or not, Johnson was an action figure nerd, who loved everything about the franchise. Therefore, when he got the call for Retaliation, he jumped at the chance. ScreenCrave recently spoke to Johnson about G.I. Joe's wrestling connection, and how he went...
When The Fast and the Furious was released in 2001, it was a harmless (and brainless) rip-off of Point Break featuring cars being driven really fast. Somehow, that film’s success has been parlayed into several sequels, with Fast & Furious 6 being released on May 24th this year. That six movies, gang, about muscle-y mid-level actors driving cars a lot...
When G.I. Joe: Retaliation got pushed from June of last year to March of this year, one of the elements that people thought might be changed was the role of Channing Tatum. When he did G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Hollywood was attempting to make him the next big thing but it hadn't taken yet. And so when Retaliation...
G.I. Joe: Retaliation, the sequel no one wanted to the original film no one liked, is almost upon us. And seeing as how it was set for a June 29, 2012 release date before being held back to March 28th of this year so Paramount could slather it with 3D effects and add a massive amount of reshoots, it should be really, really great! And now that the release date is looming, here are...
Dwayne Johnson is a superstar. His movies aren't very popular with critics, but his charisma – that smile – keeps him in the game. He can take a good franchise and make it better. He can take an unlikable character and make you root for him because he's just a pleasant guy and his fans love him. His success can be traced way back to his days as a WWE wrestler, when his motto was...
After that great Super Bowl spot and recent trailer we're revved up for Fast and Furious 6, which can't get here soon enough. Universal knows they've got a powerhouse franchise so they're already plotting a sixth sequel, and word around the campfire is that they've already shot the set up for the next movie. But first, check out the film's official theatrical...
After some middling entries, it was a pleasant surprise that Fast Five was one of the most entertaining summer movies in forever. In its way it was a minor miracle. It had a director who hadn't done anything that good before, and assembled all the players from the other film in a way that made it feel like a real team was brought together. Can they top themselves?...
Hollywood loves competition, and they don't call it high school with money for no reason. Each time one studio buys the rights to some New York Times best seller, another studio does the same. And when someone decides to do a movie about an iconic character, like say Snow White, another studio executive decides to seize the opportunity. MGM and Paramount are currently...
Well, people, today is that day we’ve all been waiting for—yes, that’s right, the sixth film in the Fast and Furious franchise now has an official plot synopsis! Isn’t that exciting? How else are we to know what to expect from this film? After all, given the creative zig-zags and thrilling plot twists of the five previous films, there was truly no way to...
We might be skeptical about the eventual release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, but it's only because Paramount delayed the film at the last minute, and claimed it was to post-convert the film to 3D, not to do extensive reshoots. From all word they didn't touch it much, so maybe it's not that bad? The latest footage looks fun, so there's that.
Michael Bay has spent most of the last decade making Transformers movies, and will continue to for at least one more film. But for those who ever suggested the director had something going on besides being one of the most talented directors with visual effects and scale, it's been hard to defend Bay considering he's made three big-budget toy adverts. Now comes...
Originally scheduled to be a June 2012 release, G.I. Joe: Retaliation was bumped from this summer and moved to March 2013 to be retooled and converted to 3D. Now there's a new trailer to help sell its Spring launch, and it features a little more Channing Tatum, about the same amount of Dwayne Johnson, and a touch more Bruce Willis. Check it out.
So Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Last Stand, Tower Heist) directing a Hercules film based not upon Grecian myth but instead the graphic novel Hercules: The Thracian Wars sounds like just about the worst thing ever (well, not really, but the name Ratner should bring shudders of revulsion to any film fan); so brace...
G.I. Joe: Retaliation was originally set to hit theaters this past summer, where it was on track to be one of the mega-blockbusters of 2012. Instead, Paramount pulled the film just one month before release—after already shelling out a ton on the film’s advertising campaign—to convert the film to 3D (translation: the film is terrible and would no way have stayed afloat in...
