John Woo adds Caliber adaptation to his queue

By Sean Gandert at 1:15 PM on July 22, 2008

Some genres seem made for certain directors. Terrence Malick and westerns. Alfred Hitchcock and thrillers. Weirdly, though, the genre that's probably most suited to John Woo is something he's never worked on: comic book adaptations. His worlds of improbable physics and superhuman feats of daring seem like a no-brainer transition for the genre. Even given his at-times-shakey work since coming to America, few will claim the man can't direct action. ...  read more

Last Week on PasteMagazine.com: 7/14-7/18/08

By Austin L. Ray at 10:32 AM on July 21, 2008

I'm going to blame my lateness on this last week's update on The Dark Knight. That's fair, right? I think so, if only because a) it's awesome, b) it's breaking records and c) Heath Ledger's Joker was more terrifying than an Andy Dick mugshot. At any rate, one of this last week's highlights on PasteMagazine.com was our review of the movie (linked above, natch). But oh, there was so much more......  read more

Watchmen trailer released online

By Adam Daniels at 1:10 PM on July 18, 2008

It seems only appropriate that no more than two weeks after Merriam-Webster added "fanboy" to its dictionary ("boy who is an enthusiastic devotee, such as of comics or movies," if you're scoring at home), the trailer for the most celebrated graphic novel in history, Watchmen, debuted online (as well as at showings of some little-known arthouse flick called The Dark Knight). ...  read more

Diablo Cody to collaborate with Steven Spielberg (again)

By Michael Saba at 12:01 PM on July 18, 2008

Diablo Cody has come a long way since the days when she was merely the proprietor of the Pussy Ranch . The woman born Brook Busey—and self-described "unlikely stripper " turned Academy Award laureate—was recently pegged by Steven Spielberg to write a script for  an as-yet-untitled Dreamworks comedy, based on an original concept by Spielberg. That's literally all we know at this point. Apparently the project is under wraps to the point that there's not even a producer attached to the film yet....  read more

Watch the Heroes season three trailer

By Veronica Sepe at 11:33 AM on July 18, 2008

When Bonnie Tyler crooned that she was "holding out for a hero" in 1984, she probably wasn't speaking in literal terms, but more along the lines of "I want a guy that's not a jerk," or, as the video suggests, cowboys with glowing neon bullwhips. ...  read more

By Sean Gandert at 10:43 AM on July 18, 2008

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, basically the largest video game convention in the world, convened earlier this week to give the yearly swath of game announcements. Amidst the big game news of Final Fantasy XIII heading to the Xbox 360 and Nintendo offering motion control+ came some film news that's perhaps more important than anything else announced at the event.  At least, it is if you're as interested in movies as you are in games....  read more

Keanu Reeves pairing with Wachowskis for Plastic Man?

By Rachel Webster at 11:30 AM on July 17, 2008

The Wachowski brothers, of Matrix trilogy fame and, more recently, Speed Racer box-office shame, may have another movie in the works: DC comic superhero flick Plastic Man.
