Steven Spielberg Reviews, Interviews & More
Earlier this summer, we reported to you that Rise of the Planet of Apes writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver had been hired to pen the script for the long-developing Jurassic Park 4 (the last film in the series, Jurassic Park III, was released 11 years ago, in 2001). It was an interesting development for two...
The highly anticipated first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln hit the internet today, and my oh my, is it ever a compendium of cinematic schmaltz and gooey Spielbergian ponderousness. That said, hey, Daniel Day-Lewis looks perfect as Lincoln, so there’s that.
One of the more annoying trends in movie marketing lately has been the ‘trailer for a trailer,’ in which a film releases a trailer letting you know when the full trailer is coming. So now, Lincoln has a teaser trailer letting us know the full trailer will be out on Thursday, September 13th. Great. Dig the slivers of new Lincoln footage below.
It’s still a bit of a touchy subject for some, but do you remember how you felt about Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace? How about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? The Godfather Part III? Well, you may not be surprised to know these and many more have been ranked in the Top 50 most disappointing movies...
All sorts of news bits are here to sprinkle onto your weekend pop-culture dining: A Thanksgiving-based slasher film is happening courtesy of Grindhouse, even more evidence as to why Chevy Chase is still the biggest ass in Hollywood, more than expected Arrested Development is on the way, Lincoln gets an eerie poster, and more. ...
Though we’ve seen a few leaked and unofficial photos of Daniel Day Lewis as our 16th president in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming biopic, Lincoln, today brings us the first official release of an image of Lewis as Abraham Lincoln. And, well, it’s uncanny.
Every generation must confront its share of horrors, disappointments, and betrayals—but perhaps no greater human sin was ever wrought upon the Earth than that of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (note: that might be a moderate exaggeration), a film which essentially took the collective childhood of an entire generation, and, well, you’ve probably...
Though we've only seen spy photographs, it looks like Steven Spielberg's Lincoln is about to heat up. We knew it was probably coming out this year, but it was unknown when. Now we know. November 9 is when the film will hit limited engagements (read: New York and Los Angeles), and then November 16 it goes wide.
The popularity of our nation's 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, seems to be at an all-time high. Just within the last year and a half we have had movies such as Robert Redford's The Conspirator, the low-budget Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies, and last week's Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. If that isn't enough,...
After spending over a decade toiling in the near-extinction of development hell, it looks like Jurassic Park 4: The Unnecessary Sequel is finally going to happen, if only because it’s still a little too early to remake the first film but Universal still needs to wring some money from the property. Thus, a decade-late sequel to a franchise that was never that great in the first...
Actor Dante Basco is all set to revisit his classic Neverland memories, this time as producer for a Hook prequel, based on the character he once played, Rufio. 36-year-old Basco will not be reprising his role as the young, mohawked rebel - we don't know who will be cast yet - but has already set his sights on the spell-check defying Rpin Suwannath to direct.
Steven Spielberg's Jaws - one of the greatest films of all time - is hitting Blu-ray and DVD on August 14. And as a part of Universal's 100 years restoration program, it's got all the bells and whistles, including all the previous supplements on top of the feature-length fan-made documentary The Shark is Still Working. All...
With tax season upon us, it appears that studios are taking a break on collectors by not offering too much this week. That said, there's a good Steven Spielberg film, and Roman Polanski's Chinatown - which is in the running for the best film of the 1970's. There's also Cameron Crowe's latest, and a Madonna concert film are among the notables, check it out...
Jurassic Park is one of the most important films of all time. Though James Cameron's Terminator 2 suggested that Computer Generated Imagery would be the way of the blockbuster future, it was Steven Spielberg who took it to the next level, and now it's commonplace in every major big budget release. For its twentieth anniversary in 2013,...
It's time to catch up on this week's news. First off, the role of young Carrie Bradshaw has been cast for the upcoming CW series "The Carrie Diaries". It's not Miley Cyrus, as some may have thought, but an up-and-coming young actress famous for a role she played in a Tim Burton movie. Also, Scarlett Johansson has been cast to...
It's true that with every new format, there comes a wait for some catalog favorites. Studios like to dish out their crown jewels during high sales periods so people buy them as holiday presents. For those hoping to spend some quality time with Dr. Indiana Jones in 1080p, the wait is almost over. This fall we will get a box set of all four Indiana Jones films. For...
Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin has made $76 Million in America, which - for a production that cost at least a hundred million - would not seem to be enough to generate a sequel. But that's not the whole story, as globally the film has made nearly $400 Million. And so it appears that a sequel will move forward with Peter Jackson taking over the directorial...
With The Adventures of Tintin, Steven Spielberg has finally decided to play with some of the newest toys of cinema, and in his first motion capture film, he revolutionizes the format. Moreso than Avatar, here Spielberg is let loose to play with the camera as he sees fit, and you can see an invigorated director who's able to stage sequences in...
Curious as to what, exactly, Daniel Day Lewis will look like as our nation’s 16th president in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming Abraham Lincoln biopic (the cleverly-titled Lincoln)? The first picture from the set has been released and, well, perhaps unsurprisingly, the famously method actor looks a lot like Lincoln.
Just a week ago, we told you that Steven Spielberg and George Lucas were once again collaborating to defile our collective childhood dreams by making yet another Indiana Jones film, after already seriously tarnishing the franchise with Indiana Jones and This One Ridiculous Crystal Skull and Some Aliens. We reported that Spielberg is just waiting for Lucas to come up...
