| Watch Jake Gyllenhaal Describe His Disastrous Audition for 'The Lord of the Rings' Posted: 22 Mar 2016 10:00 PM PDT Can you imagine Jake Gyllenhaal as a hobbit? The actor auditioned for the part of Frodo for the Lord of the Rings trilogy back in the early years of his career, and of course he didn't get the part. But it wasn't just a matter of Elijah Wood being better for the role. As Gyllenhaal tells it, he specifically wasn't cast because he was, according to Peter Jackson, "the worst actor I have ever seen." That sounds a bit harsh, but apparently the now Oscar-nominated Gyllenhaal had some very excited but also very bad agents at the time, and they failed to properly prepare their young star -- at the time best known for October Sky, if anything -- by forgetting to tell him he needed to do an English accent.

| Is 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' Any Good? Here's Your Answer Posted: 22 Mar 2016 09:00 PM PDT If you're any kind of comics or superhero fan, you've probably been waiting your entire life for this movie. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman all sharing the big screen in live action form. Dreams do come true, fellow nerds... but sometimes you may have a bit of a hangover when you wake up. So after waiting years for this particular superhero crossover to happen on screen, is the end result any good? We try our best to answer that below, and please note there will be minor spoilers included regarding story, but we'll leave you to discover the film's biggest surprises. So before you tell me anything, how's the big fight between Superman and Batman? The film wisely makes us wait awhile before these two titans throw down, and so when it actually happens...

| The Geek Beat: How 'Batman v Superman' Can Win Over 'Man of Steel' Haters Posted: 22 Mar 2016 07:30 PM PDT Let's get this out of the way right at the start: I wasn't a fan of Man of Steel. From the film's dark, nihilistic tone, to that climactic snap heard 'round the world, the complaints I share with so many others about Zack Snyder's polarizing, 2013 reboot of the Superman franchise have been well-documented in countless columns and think-pieces, so there shouldn't be any reason to wade through all of them again. And yet, the superhero movie landscape is littered with sequels that improved upon their predecessors, so there's reason to believe that people who reacted negatively to Man of Steel might be pleasantly surprised with its sequel, the upcoming Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Sure, it's not very likely, but the possibility is... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |

| 'Evil Dead' Director Explains Why He Made 'Don't Breathe' Instead of Chasing Huge Studio Movies Posted: 22 Mar 2016 04:30 PM PDT Hollywood careers tend to follow a pretty simple equation. Success begets success. If someone has a hit, their value in the industry goes up and they use it to get a bigger project, with the presumed end game being the big, huge projects that you see on billboards and during Superbowl commercial breaks. When a filmmaker has success there's an assumption that they should use it to scramble as high up the Hollywood ladder as possible. Evil Dead director Fede Alvarez doesn't necessarily believe that. His debut feature was a huge hit, and so naturally you'd think his next step would be trying to land a bigger budget tent pole movie. That's not what Alvarez did, though. Instead the man from Uruguay set out to make another modestly budgeted horror movie about three... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Margot Robbie to Star as Disgraced Ice Skater Tonya Harding Posted: 22 Mar 2016 03:00 PM PDT Australian actress Margot Robbie broke out big in The Wolf of Wall Street, giving a memorable performance as a young woman who falls for Leonardo DiCaprio. Since then, she's bounced between lead and supporting roles in Z for Zechariah, Focus and Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, lending her characters distinctive edges that make them stand out from the ordinary. Robbie will appear in two blockbuster productions that are due out this summer, first as love interest Jane in The Legend of Tarzan and then as the eye-catching Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. In February, she signed up to star in a thriller titled Terminal and now she's ready to take the reins on a new independent drama. She is attached to star in I, Tonya, according to Deadline, based on the real-life story of ice... Read More This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
| Zack Snyder Wants More '300' Movies Depicting Other Famous Historical Battles Posted: 22 Mar 2016 01:30 PM PDT Zack Snyder has a lot on his plate right now with the DC Extended Universe movies, including this week's new release, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. But he's interested in maintaining another franchise, one that also originated with a comic book. In an interview with Collider, Snyder noted that he's been thinking of doing more 300 sequels, but they'd be more like independent installments in a kind of anthology series rather than straight follow-ups like 300: Rise of an Empire. "We’ve been talking a lot about sort of different incarnations," he told the site. "We talked about the Revolutionary War version, and we talked about the Alamo, and we’ve talked about, there’s a battle in China, a “Lost...
