There’s no way that director and producer Guillermo Del Toro can be classified as a normal human. The man seems to have unlimited supplies of energy, as evidenced by his current, heavy workload, and he’s adding even more Strain (Haw!) to it, with an upcoming gig on a new vampire show for TV.

Well, that certainly escalated quickly. Just a month ago we brought you word that the new samurai epic directed by relative newcomer Carl Rinsch, 47 Ronin, was going to have its release date pushed back from November 2012 to December 2013 to allow for some reshoots and work on its 3D effects. That on its own, already didn’t bode well. …
This week at South African cinemas, new entries in hit movie franchises are evenly matched with art house fare. Take your pick… The Bourne Legacy: Matt Damon is out and Jeremy Renner is in for this fourth film in the action-espionage Bourne film series, stemming from Robert Ludlum’s spy thriller books. A rogue black ops agent – who isn’t Jason …

Marvel really set the cat (girl) among the pigeons (geeks) this year, when with a single smile from his purple face, it was revealed that Thanos was the big bad behind everything in The Avengers. (Cueing all the non-comic geeks to ask “Is that Hulk? Why is he purple?”) While it definitely implied that the Mad Titan would be soon be …
So with the recent announcement that Sony would be turning an 80’s TV show as obscure as Manimal into a movie, I came to realize that it’s pointless to rail against this current barrage of remakes. It just wastes too much energy and emotion (somewhere out there, all 17 Manimal fans are crying themselves to sleep tonight). So there’s nothing left …
