Igor! It's alive! Could Javier Bardem be Frankenstein's new monster for Universal's fledgeling shared movie universe

Russell Crowe is fantastic actor, but he has developed a bit of a reputation for snapping and losing his cool to monstrous results. Well, monstrous if you’re a hotel concierge in his line of fire and there’s a telephone at hand. And it looks like Universal may want him to channel all that flip-switch rage into something constructive for them, …

The Dark Tower is an epic work of fiction that took decades to realize. For a while there, it looked like that second part was also going to apply to its feature film adaptation. Stephen King’s fantasy book series is a daunting sprawling meta-story that incorporates characters and events from several of his other literary works, so it’s no wonder …

At first I was completely dismissive over The Gunman thinking it to be a different version of Taken only this time with Sean Penn instead of Liam Neeson.

But now thanks to Liam Neeson, a new “Badass Old Man” stage has been slotted into that cycle, and based on this trailer for The Gunman, the latest actor to reach this …

I had mixed feelings about Alex Proyas’ I, Robot. It looked great but gave us a rather simple look into what happens when a robot becomes sentient. I thought it focused too much on the pew pew of a super computer trying to cleanse the virus called humans when it could have been so much more. However, after watching this trailer …

As he’s helped Indiana Jones to raid a few tombs in his day, Steven Spielberg undoubtedly knows all about unearthing old treasures, and it looks like that’s exactly what he’s thinking of doing again. The Oscar winning director is reportedly circling a script written by blacklisted writer Dalton Trumbo 50 years ago, about “the kinship and ultimately the bloody collision between …
