Ron Howard Reviews, Interviews & More

When it comes to filmmakers collaborating with musicians, you'd be hard pressed to find a less likely combination that Ron Howard and Jay-Z. Howard is known for his likeable persona, and his prestige (read: Oscar Bait) pictures. Hova is known for his 99 problems. But Ron Howard is now scheduled to direct a film covering Jay-Z's 'Budweiser Made in America' Music Festival, because why not?

New doubts have risen over The Dark Tower, Imagine Entertainment partners Ron Howard and Brian Grazer’s very ambitious three-film and dual-TV series cycle of adaptations of Stephen King‘s epic novel series, after Warner Bros. “decided not to move forward” with the project. Which begs the...

Just in case you were wondering, Ron Howard’s massively ambitious three-film, two-TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s eight-book series The Dark Tower is still possibly happening—after Universal dropped the project, Warner Bros. will decide in the next two weeks whether or not to save it.

Sad news from the entertainment world today—Andy Griffith, an icon of American television thanks to his starring roles in The Andy Griffith Show and Matlock, died Tuesday Morning.  He was 86 years old.

The loss of Gary Ross as a director of The Hunger Games sequels has been absolutely devastating for devoted fans of burgeoning franchise. As a rabid fan myself (and as a friend of many other rabid fans), I can’t even begin to tell you how crestfallen we are. Ross was truly one of us – an ardent admirer of the series who happened to also don a director’s cap. His respect...

Because, who knows, maybe he got tired of directing really mediocre adventure thrillers that are based upon really mediocre adventure-thriller novels, Ron Howard has announced that he will not be directing The Last Symbol,  the third film in a series of adaptations of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code series.

The future of Ron Howard’s massive three-film, two-season TV show adaptation of Stephen King’s multi-volume The Dark Tower series is beginning to look, well, dark.  Despite having a hotshot director like Howard attached, and Javier Bardem in talks to play the lead, Universal has passed on the ungainly production.

With the news that Javier Bardem is essentially locked down for the main character of The Dark Tower, the three-film, two-TV series adaptation of Stephen King’s mammoth seven volume tale of gunslingers, alternate realities, an entire universe within a rose in New York, and a gigantic tower that acts as a lynchpin holding all of reality together, maybe it’s time...

Remember back in March when we reported that Javier Bardem was “psychologically” attached to the role of Roland the gunslinger, the lead role in Ron Howard’s three-films-and-a-TV-series adaptation of Stephen King’s seven book series The Dark Tower?  Well, it looks like he’s now a little more than “psychologically” attached to the role.

Back in January, we learned that Javier Bardem was in the running to play the lead character in Ron Howard's adaptation of The Dark Tower. Now producer Brian Grazer has come forward, on the record, to say that he wants Bardem in the role, they're preparing a negotiation package for him, and he's "psychologically" already attached. If that statement confuses you,...

Ron Howard has his hands full with the upcoming film and television adaptations of The Dark Tower. The novels have been described as Stephen King’s answer to JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. For such an epic story, we need an epic actor in the lead, and who better than Oscar nominee Christian Bale?

Alert your fraternity! My man Vince Vaughn is back to charm/offend/entertain audiences in Ron Howard's latest flick, The Dilemma, which also stars Kevin James, Jennifer Connolly, Winona Ryder, and Channing Tatum. "Bro-codes" and other gender-related policies are tested under the highest of stakes in...

Ever since it was announced that Ron Howard would direct the big screen adaptation of The Dark Tower, fans of the books have been voicing their opinions about who should play the lead character. If you're one of them, don't worry because Howard has heard your cries and he's taking them into consideration. According to the LA Times, a few names have come to his attention, one...

It seems as if The Dilemma is living up to its name! Though Universal agreed to pull Vince Vaughn’s character's line “Electric cars are… gay" from the trailer (watch now) for the upcoming comedy, Director Ron Howard refuses to have the line be pulled from the film saying that he feels his freedom of speech is being attacked. A few weeks ago the first trailer...

According to Deadline, Ron Howard plans on doing the semi-impossible by adaptating Stephen King's fantasy series, The Dark Tower. The director along with his producing partner Brian Grazer, Akiva Goldsman, and Universal Pictures are in the middle of a deal that will turn the 7 books into a theatrical trilogy and a possible TV series.

It's hard to remember back to that time in the 80's time when actress Winona Ryder starred in everything under the sun. From Beetlejuice and Heathers to Little Women, Ryder played diverse roles and even won a Golden Globe Award for her role in The Age of Innocence. Recently, however, she...

The Wrap is reporting that Greenberg director Noah Baumbach has signed on to replace Ron Howard as the director of The Emperor’s Children, an adaptation of Claire Messud's 2006 novel. Howard has opted instead to produce the film with his frequent collaborator, Brian Grazer.

Ron Howard has decided to step away from his mystery driven, religious epics to tackle some lighter fare. According to Variety, the award winning director will join forces with funny man Vince Vaughn for his latest feature. The film is currently untitled, but will be produced by Imagine Entertainment and Universal Pictures.

It takes a lot to get a director like Ron Howard excited. Howard is no stranger to making iconic films such as Frost/Nixon, Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind, but out of all his developing projects this will be his scariest challenge yet. Howard is set to take on the adaptation of Image Comics' The Strange...

Gus van Sant is in negotiations to develop and direct Restless, an original screenplay by first-time screenwriter Jason Lew that will be produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Bryce Dallas Howard (THR). It does seem like a rather "friendly" film, with the two Howards involved, and is only furthered when you realize that the screenwriter, Lew,...
