| Today in Movie Culture: David Lynch's 'The Shining,' the Sounds of 'Jurassic Park' and More Posted: 08 Jun 2015 11:00 PM PDT Here are a bunch of little bites to satisfy your hunger for movie culture: Supercut of the Day: Jacob T. Swinney highlights the sounds of Jurassic Park in his latest video essay: Mash-Up of the Day: What if David Lynch directed The Shining? It'd be even creepier, apparently. Check out "Blue Shining" (via Press Play): Trailer Mix of the Day: Here's what Mad Max: Fury Road looks like as an animated film, where each frame is a painting (via Press Play): Fan Art of the Day: Jared Leto's Joker from Suicide Squad, as if painted by Edvard Munch.

| Why 'The Martian' Could Be One of The Best Movies of 2015 Posted: 08 Jun 2015 09:48 PM PDT Today the trailer hit for Ridley Scott's next big sci-fi epic, The Martian. Almost instantly people began complaining that the trailer was full of spoilers. That's not exactly true. In fact, if the trailer for The Martian spoils anything, it's the experience of reading the fantastic book it's based on. The basic problem is that you can pick up a copy Andy Weir's The Martian knowing the basic set up: an astronaut is stranded on Mars and has to figure out how to survive. You can pitch that to someone and it makes sense, and since Weir writes the book as if they were journal entries from that astronaut, it seems like that's all the story is about. It's a much bigger story, though. The story is so big, in fact, that you can't hide it in the... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Watch: How To Make Your Own Flame-Throwing Guitar From 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Posted: 08 Jun 2015 08:00 PM PDT It's difficult to pick a favorite character in Mad Max: Fury Road, but outside of Furiosa, Nux, Immortan Joe and, of course, Max, one of the major standouts is the Doof Warrior. He doesn't have any lines and he doesn't have much to do in the way of the plot, but the image of a guy playing a flame-shooting guitar on a mobile stage in the middle of a massive chase sequence is not a common sight. So, he's extremely memorable. And quite imitable, if you have the right materials and can keep yourself safe. Become a 'Mad Max: Fury Road' Hipster By Making Your Own Flame-Throwing Ukelele One fan has shared a way to find your inner Doof Warrior with an easily constructed instrument inspired by the fiery headbanger. He didn't go with an electric guitar... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Netflix Lands Brad Pitt's Next Movie, Which Will Be Their Most Expensive Production Yet Posted: 08 Jun 2015 06:30 PM PDT Netflix has been betting huge on original content for a while now, but most of those investments have been in making TV shows. Granted, some of those shows do have movie ties, like Marvel's Daredevil or the upcoming Wet Hot American Summer, but for the most part their commitment to original movie content has been rather small, with their first major deal being for new Adam Sandler comedies. That's changing, though, with Netflix having just made their biggest commitment yet to stealing some studio thunder. They've agreed to pay in excess of $30 million for the exclusive rights to War Machine, Brad Pitt's next movie as a star and producer. No, War Machine isn't yet another solo Marvel movie, but it is a satirical comedy inspired by the book The Operators... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| The Rock Talks 'Big Trouble in Little China' Remake, Plus: James Cameron on 'Terminator: Genisys' Posted: 08 Jun 2015 04:30 PM PDT The Rock Talks About That Big Trouble in Little China Remake If there's anyone who can do justice to a Big Trouble in Little China remake and lend it such much-needed nerd cred, it's Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. The success of his most recent projects has turned the former wrestler into one of today's hottest in-demand stars, and he'll need all of that star power to deliver a Big Trouble remake fans of the classic John Carpenter movie will be proud of. But what else can he bring to the recently-announced movie? How about John Carpenter? While speaking about the project to EW, The Rock says he wants Carpenter involved at some level. “I loved reading the reactions from the fans, that they were so polarized – I’m the same way,&rdquo...

| Posted: 08 Jun 2015 03:00 PM PDT The Stand: Josh Boone (The Fault in Our Stars), who came on board the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King's The Stand more than a year ago, first described it as a "three-hour, R-rated version," then King hinted that it might be made "in an entirely different and innovative way." Now comes word that Warner Bros., CBS Films, and Showtime are talking about making an 8-hour miniseries first, ahead of a big-budget movie that would debut in theaters. Shooting would begin early next year on the project. [The Wrap] Wool: Nicole Perlman, who shared a writing credit for Guardians of the Galaxy, has been hired to write a new draft of the screenplay for Wool. Based on a science-fiction novel by Hugh Howey, the story centers on a community living... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Watch: Matt Damon Is Like MacGyver on Mars in First Trailer for 'The Martian' Posted: 08 Jun 2015 01:30 PM PDT We're liking this trend where Hollywood is delivering a new space epic every fall. Just in the last three years we had Gravity, Interstellar and now Ridley Scott's The Martian, based on the super-nerdy book about an astronaut (Matt Damon) who becomes stranded on Mars after his crew leaves believing he's already dead. The film hits theaters on November 25, and here's the first trailer. At around three minutes in length, this first look at The Martian presents a different kind of space-rescue story, told from two different vantage points: the astronaut stranded on Mars, using science to extend his life long enough to be rescued, and his crew who disregard NASA's instructions in order to pull off one helluva dangerous rescue mission. The film comes stacked... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
