With the cameras cranking and the blue/green screens up, casting announcements for Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame To Kill For are coming thick and fast. Yesterday brought word that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has been cast in a new character role. Now that has been followed with the news that Josh Brolin and Christopher Meloni are aboard. Brolin , it seems, will be bringing his recent, MIB III-showcased expertise at playing characters in their younger days for the film, as he’s signed on to take over Dwight from Clive Owen . Dwight’s story in Dame is a prequel tale that sees him hunted down by Ava Lord, the only woman he ever loved. His life goes into the gutter and he ends up with a completely different face later in life (hence the actor swap). “Dwight is a constant character throughout the Sin City world and A Dame To Kill For is a defining episode in his life,” Rodriguez and Miller said in a statement picked up by Collider . “We’re looking forward to Josh’s

The director says that his upcoming schedule is "busy enough" without adding the space opera sequel to his slate. Scratch another high-profile director off the list of potential Star Wars: Episode VII helmers. Biggest Challenge to New 'Star Wars' Is Time, Screenwriter Says Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo Del Toro said in a interview with Indiewire that his agent took a phone call gauging interest in directing the Star Wars film, but his schedule was already "busy enough." "We got one phone call to my agent saying, 'Is Guillermo interested?' And basically I have so much stuff already of my own, and I'm pursuing stuff that I'm generating already...," the director told Indiewire. He later added: "It was just a phone call, it didn't go past that, it was very nice to be asked, but believe it or not, I'm busy enough." Del Toro is the latest wish list director to shoot down speculation. J

The world may have given up on David E. Kelley's Wonder Woman series, but that doesn't mean he's done with it. He still thinks a Wonder Woman show could work—and he's figured out what went wrong with his first try. Yeah, The CW might be developing its own Wonder Woman-esque series with Amazon, but Kelley (The Practice, Boston Legal) technically tried it first. The TV legend filmed a pilot starring Adrianne Palicki (Red Dawn, Friday Night Lights) in the title role, but it was universally panned and never even made it to air. Leaked photos showing the pretty ridiculous costume didn't help, so NBC axed the show after checking out the pilot. Therein lies the rub. Kelley blames a condensed schedule for all the problems, as he didn't have enough time to develop his concept in the pilot stage. If they'd been able to make a few more episodes, he believes the project would have eventually found its footing. He told The Hollywood Reporter : "I still

One of the biggest gambles of 2013 is the latest attempt to introduce Superman back to our screens. Though we’ve already gotten a good look at the Man of Steel in, er, Man Of Steel , there’s always room for another picture of Henry Cavill giving us his best Kryptonian orphan in a cape look. The latest image is online courtesy of USA Today and can be seen above. Wonder what he's looking at? Man Of Steel , written by David Goyer and featuring Zack Snyder in the director’s chair, finds a new iteration on Superman’s origin as he struggles to define himself on Earth and tackles old threats, including Michael Shannon’s General Zod. MAN OF STEEL Trailer #2  So far, the trailers have made this new effort look decidedly moody and thoughtful, which might not seem the approach you’d expect from Snyder. But the most recent promo also hinted at plenty of super-powered action, so we’re hopeful that the director is taking counsel from producer/co-story scribe Christopher Nolan and holdin

Deep in the heart of the unforgiving Australian desert lies Pine Gap, a top-secret government facility operated by the United States military. When the base comes under attack from unknown forces, an elite team is sent in to extract the military scientists. They encounter a beautiful young woman with no memory of how she came to be in the base, and find it overrun by disturbed patients from the base’s medical sector. But as the squad delves deeper it becomes clear that there is something far more sinister – and far more dangerous – going on at Pine Gap. A taut thriller that recalls the best classic sci-fi action films, Crawlspace is the feature debut of Justin Dix – an award w

Promised Land Review By: MattInRC Our 2013 movie reviews kick off with the the superficial and long-winded Promised Land . A central topic in the 2012 Presidential election focused on energy independence. Both candidates spoke about its necessity, tossing buzz words into the air like clay pigeons. Yet, the one word both treaded lightly upon was 'fracking,' the process of mining natural gas from shale deep underground. The process is potentially dangerous, having been linked to earthquakes in New York state and poisoning water supplies elsewhere. The movie Promised Land seeks to plant its flag decidedly against fracking by pitting the people of a small town against the powers of a multi-national corporation called Global. Written by stars Matt Damon (Dogma) and John Krasinski (Leatherheads), the film features a thoroughly unlikable team of gas company pitchpeople in Steve Butler (Damon) and the roughly-hewn Sue Thomason ( Frances McDormand , Fargo) as they att
