Tobey Maguire Reviews, Interviews & More
The latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby retains most of the story generations have fallen in love with. Unfortunately, Baz Luhrmann's gaudy style and fast cuts are too distracting. There's still some magic from the F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel there, but the director can't decide between being over-the-top or toned down.
We're starting to see a heavy trickle of promotional material for all the big summer event films, with Iron Man 3 and The Wolverine currently leading the charge.

To have such an over-the-top visual director such as Luhrmann behind the...
There is something of a science to release dates. On top of knowing that there are certain times of the year when a big movie will do better or worse than other times, studios often pick dates because of past experiences.

When you think of the Great American Novel set in the roaring 1920s, you think of 3D films with an Auto-Tuned soundtrack, right? Well, if so, you’ll dig the trailer for Baz Luhrman’s over the top take on F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. If not, well… you may wish to look away for the next two minutes and 30 seconds.
After being cast in Baz Luhrman’s adaptation of The Great Gatsby in 3D (sweet, sweet Jesus), it looks like Tobey Maguire is set to star in another cinematic adaptation of great literature—according to Deadline, the former Spider-Man has been cast in Ang Lee’s take on Life of Pi, the adaptation of Yann Martel’s bestselling novel.
We've known for a while that Universal is planning a prequel/spin-off to their highly successful Jason Bourne franchise, but they've yet to find an actor to play the lead.

They include everyone from 20 year old...
Infidelity, charity, blackmail, raccoons, and a bow & arrow. These are a few of the details in Jacob Aaron Estes' The Details, and the devil is in them.

To find...
