Silent Hill 2 has been on the go for a very long time, and with the recent news that Roger Avary, the man tasked with writing the film, has been sent to prison, it would seem that there's little chance of the film happening. Well that might not be true as the producer Don Carmondy has been ...

This could be huge news for the fourth in the Underworld series as word comes out that the a writer of The Shield, John Hlavin, is set to write the script for Underworld 4. Although that spells good news for the series, let's put this in context, there's no director and no lead actress, but ...

It was good news for Stephen King fans when we heard that his latest story, Under the Dome, was coming to the big screen, but news today brings great and not so good news for the film. Great news first? Steven Spielberg is one of the executive producers on the project, so that's got to be good ...

I've been a huge supporter of The Flying Scotsman (Filmstalker review) since it was released, I loved that film, and it really touched me on a very personal level and struck me as a great Scottish film. It's just a shame that a lot of people who held purse strings for the film didn't think so. ...

Let's face facts, the Scottish people have always wanted some form of independence and autonomy from the UK, like Wales and Ireland, there's a strong sense of who we are and a strong place in our hearts for our history. What I can say is that I don't believe that Braveheart made Scotland ...

This is a little bit of nostalgia here, and nothing like a recent release, but it's a film that I think is one of the many that really could benefit from a remake, whereas so many of the Hollywood films that are remakes just now aren't needed or wanted, The Black Hole is one that could work. You ...

While some are suggesting this is a remake of Defending Your Life, the Albert Brooks written , directed and starring film, although to me it sounds like it owes more to A Matter of Life and Death from 1946 starring David Niven. However the story of Ten Best Days of My Life has something a little ...

Wow, I really struggled writing a title for this that could explain what the film was about and wasn't five hundred words long! Cycler is the story of a teenage girl who for four days every month turns into a teenage boy, and I mean completely, even with full male anatomy, and after the four ...

There are some films that just attract casting rumours like flies round something very smelly. They just pour out one after the other. Hey, did you know I've actually auditioned for Spider-Man 4? I can't tell you what part it is yet, and that's nothing to do with the fact it isn't written yet, ...

I missed this trailer when it popped up, it's the trailer for Crazy Heart, a new film starring Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Colin Farrell and the superb Robert Duvall. It tells the story of an aged country music singer whose life has really broken him down and through his many marriages he ...

There are four things that strike me about the new trailer for Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and here they are – more action, product placement, and two gorgeous women, one a goodie and one a baddie. The new trailer for the film looks pretty spectacular, and there's a ...

Girl Number 9 was released at the end of October in the UK but I must admit to not noticing it, mainly because it's a web series and my experience of them aren't great, but there are a number of recognisable British television actors in here, and the writer of Severance writes and co-directs. ...

The Texas Killing Fields is to finally be directed by Ami Mann, the daughter of legendary Michael Mann, who is set to produce the film. Both Michael and Danny Boyle were once set to direct the film, but it seemed that it was going to be too difficult to adapt, until now. The film is based on the ...

The French trailer for The Wolfman has arrived online with some new footage, and also a new cut which seems to deliver more of a linear story development than the previous. I'm really looking forward to The Wolfman now, and it happened long before this trailer. The footage for The Wolfman is ...

While not a specific commentary about the trailer and more an audio interview, there is a trailer of Kick-Ass online that features Matthew Vaughn's words over the top from a telephone interview, and it's rather interesting to hear him talk about the film. The comments are short, just enough to ...
