The 1959 film Ben-Hur is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time, with the original classic being the first film to ever win 11 Oscars (Titanic and Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King being the others) and was also a monumental financial success, despite its long run time of over 3 hours. It …
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. It’s a silly little title that most people can’t even say without smirking. The first teaser trailer for this adaptation of another Seth Grahame-Smith’s mashup historical parody novels, certainly seemed to realize this silliness with a very tongue-in-cheek tone that looked like a whole heap of fun. Certainly a lot more fun than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire …
It’s been a while since we first showed you some images from the upcoming classic English literature slash (pun intended) zombie slaying mash-up. As we said then it’s “based on the 2009 Seth Grahame-Smith parody novel of the same name which combines the renowned Jane Austen novel with modern zombie fiction leading to a rather unique take on the original” – and, …

When it comes to the planned new remake of The Crow, that development has been anything but straight, as it went through all sorts of production issues from script changes to playing director musical chairs. The latest being proposed star Luke Evans walking away …
Last week I posted about the new Ben-Hur movie and that taking up the lead role of Judah Ben-Hur would be Jack Huston of Boardwalk Empire fame. Some more information has come out of an interview from ComingSoon.net who spoke to Academy award winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) about his treatment of the 1959 movie. Of course …
At first I was rather dubious about the remake of William Wyler’s classic 1959 Ben Hur, a movie that setup the modern archetype of what a manly hero is and paved the way for plenty of epic Hollywood movies. The last thing I wanted was a Micheal Bay remake with Baysplosions everywhere and a lead that was as deep as the …
