Jeremy Renner Reviews, Interviews & More
We’ve previously reported to you that Marvel is planning on bringing the African superhero Black Panther into the Marvel Cinematic Universe; elsewhere in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve noted that even Jeremy Renner thought his role in The Avengers sucked. What do these two things have to do with one another? Well, they...
Despite the fact that Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters was, well, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters—a tonally inconsistent and butchered attempt at the dark fantasy genre that Hollywood seems convinced audiences want (see also: Snow White and the Huntsman) that totally fell on its face upon its U.S. release, it managed to do solid business overseas. Filmed for...
It seemed like Snake Plissken was safe for a while there, but not now. For a couple of years, Escape From New York was rumored to be remade, with both Len Wiseman and Breck Eisner attached as a director, and Gerard Butler (who was attached to a great many projects post 300) set to star. None of that happened. But now there's new producers...
Continuing the streak of films that proves that Jeremy Renner will star in absolutely anything offered to him, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is set for a January 25th release. And, despite already receiving one red band trailer, the film is getting yet another slightly Not Safe For Work ad (there’s mild cursing and some CGI witch-killing), just in case the blood and guts crowd...
Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is due out January 25, and it will begin Paramount's festival of films from 2012 that got bumped/dumped into the next year, along with March 29's G.I. Joe Retaliation and June 21's World War Z. Now there's a splattery trailer selling the film as a bit more...
We tend to hate on Hollywood studios because of the movie projects they choose to fund (Transformers 4, anyone?). So much of typical Hollywood product tends to be huge, expensive spectacles with little-to-no story, heavy special effects and poor acting. So, we at ScreenCrave have decided to help jump behind the indie film. Every week we'll be bring you the Indie Fundraiser...
Here’s how you make and market a film in 2012. First, hire Jeremy Renner, because he will apparently star in anything that is a part of, or will launch, a franchise (see also: Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Avengers, The Bourne Something Something). Second, make sure and take a classic or gothic tale and give it grim, modernist, action...
To say that The Bourne Legacy is loosely based on Eric Van Lustbander's novel or even set in the same universe that Robert Ludlum created is a giant overstatement. Screenwriters (and director) Tony and Dan Gilroy have taken Ludlum's Bourne series and expanded into something wholly new. That's what they set out to do, and...
The Bourne series has tapped into new territory with The Bourne Legacy. Matt Damon is out and Jeremy Renner is in as Aaron Cross. It turns out there was never just one. ScreenCrave recently spoke to the new cast, which includes Renner, Rachel Weisz and Edward Norton. They talked about the franchise's future, shooting action scenes and...
One of the disappointments of The Avengers (and there were a few, despite the film’s grosses), was that the character of Hawkeye turned out to be pretty much as absolutely pointless as one could imagine an archer would be next to a radioactive Hulk, a Norse god, a genetically engineered super soldier, and a billionaire genius with a robotic super-suit. And Jeremy Renner, the man...
The Julian Assange/WikiLeaks controversy is no longer the hot news of the day, but studios are still eager to tell the story. There's a number of projects in the works, including DreamWorks' adaptation of two books focusing on what some consider the most dangerous website in the world, and its founder--and Jeremy Renner wants in on it. Word is that the actor...
The Bourne Legacy hasn't even hit theaters yet, but people are already wondering and speculating what the next movie will be about. Some say that the 5th Bourne may team up Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner, but that remains to be seen. For now, producer Frank Marshall has confirmed that the next installment will definitely follow Renner's character Aaron...
Dustin Hoffman's favorite actress Amy Adams just booked her next role. She'll be reuniting with director David O. Russell for his forthcoming untitled project, formerly known as American Bullsh*t. Adams would have actually been reuniting with Fighter co-star Christian Bale, but he dropped out yesterday and was quickly replaced by Jeremy...
The Bourne Legacy hits theaters August 10, and we're curious to see how it will play. Not only because it's a sequel that talks a lot about Jason Bourne without actually featuring Matt Damon, but also because director Tony Gilroy is taking up the helm from Paul Greengrass, whose action sensibilities meant "lots of shakey cam." From this clip we have a better idea...
Per his contract that apparently states he must have a role in every ongoing action franchise in existence (look for him to appear next as James Bond’s little brother Johnny Bond in A Quirkdom of Siblings), Jeremy Renner is the new face of the Bourne franchise. After having already taken remarkably bland supporting roles in Thor, The Avengers,...
Not that it’s any surprise, but in case you were curious, The Avengers took in nearly $20 million from midnight showings on Thursday night, entering a pantheon of memorable blockbuster films that set records for their midnight-premiere screenings: The Dark Knight, The Hunger Games and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1.
After four years, five films, and countless castings, The Avengers have finally assembled. In less than 24 hours, anxious fans will see Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye fight side-by-side on the big screen. The Avengers Hollywood premiere took place last month, and immediately after, the cast participated in a press conference where they...
The Avengers is here, and it’s the film Marvel has been planting the seeds for since Iron Man hits screens in 2008. In that time we’ve had films featuring Hulk, Thor, and Captain America to help get audiences in the mood and in the know about these characters. And knowing the characters is important for Joss Whedon’s film, because...
Though The Hunger Games may have set the event film bar higher with its record-breaking $155 Million opening, the summer movie season is only a few weeks away and it's going to kick off with The Avengers - which is looking to be a monster of a release. It's not a sequel, per se, but it does bring together Robert Downey Jr.'s Iron Man with...
Now that Summer Movie season is almost here (scary, right?), it's fair to say that Joss Whedon's The Avengers came out of the gate swinging, and hasn't stopped. Every week or so there's been a new image or promotional item, and now that we're less than two months away, it's really kicking into gear. Yesterday AMC theaters announced a six film marathon of...
