Could A Sequel To M. Night Shyalmalan’s Best Movie Still Happen?

M. Night Shyamalan continues trying to scare us with evil vegetation and travesties of animated classics, while storytelling gold – a continuation of his superhero epic Unbreakable – goes untouched. But now Night says an Unbreakable sequel is still possible. https://gizmodo.com/8-superhero-movies-that-broke-the-mold-please-copy-the-5290442 Shyamalan told reporters he’s still very interested in continuing that story of a superhuman…

Will We Finally Get a Truly Great Robot Epic?

Rumor has it that production has begun on a film version of R.U. R., the Czech play where the word “robot” was invented. It’s about genetic engineering and robot rebellion, and it could be the best robot movie ever. R.U.R. stands for “Rossum’s Universal Robots,” and it’s about a company that figures out how to…

Teen Wolf Remake Rips Out Last Shred Of Were-Dignity

Warner Brothers needs writers for their Teen Wolf remake. They should try the seventh level of Hell, because I can’t imagine what kind of evil-doer would attempt to recreate the original’s brilliant 80s camp. A POX ON THIS. Movie Hole is reporting that WB is hunting for writers to reboot Teen Wolf, and they’re not…

Woody Harrelson’s Zombie Slayer Movie Is More Whimsical Than We Realized

Quirky little flick Zombieland pits Woody Harrelson and his squad against a world of the undead. Check out this week’s “zombie kill of the week.” Sadly there’s no Bill Murray glimpse, yet. It feels a little Hitchhiker’s Guide with the fanciful narrator — or Pushing Daisies — which I’m perfectly all right with. It really…

If Bay Walked, Who Would Make Transformers 3?

Michael Bay has hinted that he might be done with robots after Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. Does this derail Paramount’s already-announced date for the third movie in the series, or is Bay just playing an explosive game of hard-to-get? Promoting Fallen, Bay has been saying that he longs for quieter, less Bayhem-filled projects, entirely…

MovieIQ For BD-Live Displays Online Movie Info In Real Time, Encourages Insufferable Film Geekery

Yes! Star Trek Is Cool Because a Pie Chart Says So!

Sci Fi Wire makes a convincing argument, in both authoritarian pie chart form and debatable exposition, as to why Star Trek is cool (again). But what’s missing from the chart? Two words: Lens flare. https://gizmodo.com/star-trek-review-5226460 Man has long marveled at the bright and shiny. He obsesses over soft metals, like gold, because of their luster.…

When Did Japan Stop Being The Future?

U.S. science fiction used to be fascinated with Japan, from Blade Runner to Neuromancer. Everything Japanese was cooler, sleeker and shinier than our grubby American aesthetic, and Japan was destined to dominate. And then, Japan’s futuristic status waned. What happened? There’s a pervasive urban legend online that William Gibson went to see Blade Runner when…

Roland Emmerich Gives Good Apocalypse Porn In New 2012 Trailer

Some say the world will end in ice, others in fire — but Roland Emmerich says the world will end in pure, delicious melted cheese. At least, his new trailer for 2012 is full of awesomely porntastic destruction. 2012, which comes out in November, is the story of John Cusack’s everyday dad trying to escape…
