Even If You Hate Sports, Here’s Why You Should Love The Superbowl

Football may not be your bag, we get that. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be dreading next month’s Superbowl. With NBC’s 3D gimmick and some kick-ass movie trailers, it’s time to tune in. We’ve already told you about the fact that, because of NBC’s plans to transmit the game in 3D, Chuck will…

Ryan Phillippe’s Franklyn Loves Masks, Hates Religion

A new trailer for the parallel-world saga Franklyn is out, giving us further insight into the uber-religious future where everyone is forced to profess some sort of spirituality — even if it’s just worshiping donkeys. Ryan Phillippe and his cast-mates Eva Green, Bernard Hill and Art Malik are featured in two separate storylines in Franklyn.…

Commercials Worth Their Culty Cred And Stanislaw Lem’s 1 Gets A Trailer

Sometimes, we have to stop and applaud the truly innovative directors whose work only shows up for a few brief seconds crammed on the TV. Vesa Manninen’s collection is worth stopping to see the commercials. Commercials have become such a depressing mix of skinny people bounding around to catchy music that it’s been months since…

Who Created Dark Knight’s Joker?

It was the movie of last year, and at the center of The Dark Knight was Heath Ledger’s compelling Joker. But… who really invented the worryingly sane Clown Prince of Crime? Maybe not Chris Nolan. Author F. Paul Wilson had a chance to see The Dark Knight recently, and found Ledger’s Joker rather… familiar: Yeah,…

When Does Historical Revisionism Become Alternate History?

I hadn’t realized how many quasi-revisionist works about the Nazis and the Holocaust had come out recently until I read this Times article. It’s almost like a stealth Man In The High Castle. Except that in this alternate history, the Nazis don’t win — they get softened. They become not quite so bad. There’s the…

Is This How The Spider-Man Movies Will Redeem Themselves?

With the news that Spider-Man 4 could feature Morbius, The Living Vampire, we think we’ve figured out the plot for the next movie, and it’s gotten us excited at the goofy possibilities. Spoilers ahead. MTV’s Splash Page blog caught Sam Raimi’s comments in a recent interview about one of his favorite Spider-villains as a sign…

Will Talking Save The Day For Watchmen?

It’s your daily Watchmen legal battle update – and, as has become customary about this story, forget what we told you yesterday, because the situation has changed… again. https://gizmodo.com/will-we-know-watchmens-fate-by-monday-5126771 After asking Judge Gary Feess to issue an early ruling on Friday about whether or not Fox had the right to block them from releasing Zack…

Are These Really Glimpses Of Ghostbusters 3?

A new blog has appeared online, showing images and video that some think is from the set of Ghostbusters 3, complete with what could be proton packs and giant monsters. So why are we suspicious? Well, for one thing, the blog – called “Ghostspy,” with a logo that certainly resembled the classic movie’s logo –…

An Underground Volcano Symbolizes Our Hobbesian Doom

I kind of love this sequence from 1951’s The Unknown World, where a scientist decides to die by underground volcano, because the human race will just self-destruct anyway. It’s nakedly political, and dementedly awesome.

Is The Joker Really Going To Return In A Dark Knight Sequel?

Add this one to the Dark Knight sequel casting rumors: The Joker may reappear in the next Batman movie, played by a different actor, or so says MTV. But all isn’t as it may seem… MTV’s Splash Page blog ran with a quote from Dark Knight producer Chuck Roven from the red carpet of the…

Will We Know Watchmen’s Fate By Monday?

Just when we’d gotten used to the idea that Judge Gary Feess could rule as early as January 20th on Fox’s delaying Watchmen’s release at the end of this month, a new timeline appears. Literally a day after both Fox and Warner Bros. had apparently agreed to forego a trial and allow Judge Feess to…

Kevin Bacon’s Invisible Man Dos And Don’t’s

Memo to David Goyer: When you finally make your long-awaited Invisible Man movie, you have to top 2000’s Hollow Man in the inventive use of spattered blood to make the guy visible. Come on! Another awesome making-the-invisible-man-visible trick: displaced water in a swimming pool. Rock on. However, you can feel free to avoid having your…

It’s Time for Some Serious Dragon Slayage

The folks at Quiet Earth point out, wisely, that sometimes you want to "veg out and just enjoy some low budget dragon slayage." Looks like the auspiciously-titled Dragon Hunter is going to give some good dragon. Plus, there are swords. Not sure when it’s coming out – supposedly it was going to be released in…

Why Are Vampires So Damn Sexy?

Recent scary-lovely Swedish flick Let the Right One In is proof that Twilight can’t drain all the magnetism out of vampires. And it adheres to a basic vampire principle by breaking sexual taboos beautifully. Vampires are the sexpots of the undead. Zombies are usually too blood-dribbly and rotted to be players. And ghosts are, well,…

Is Tintin A Near-Perfect Storm Of Genre Movie-Making?

With scripts from the new Doctor Who boss, direction from Peter Jackson and a cast that includes Simon Pegg, there’s only one thing stopping Tintin from being perfect: It’s not scifi. We can’t tell you how much we want the upcoming Tintin movies to be sci-fi; what genre wouldn’t want to claim a couple of…

Producer Says Ender’s Game Not Over

After Orson Scott Card claimed he was “not interested” in the Ender’s Game film adaptation, it seemed as if this classic novel would never be made into a film. Not so, the producers tell io9. Last year we broke the news about director Wolfgang Peterson parting ways with the adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s film…
