The 30 Best Fight Scenes in Movie History

Eastern Promises 2 may reunite Mortensen and Cronenberg

If, like most people, you had the feeling that the movie Eastern Promises had a lot of potential, but rushed the ending (spoiler coming up soon), then a resolution to that problematic conclusion may have presented itself. In an unprecedented move, director David Cronenberg announced that he's moving towards a sequel. (Cronenberg has never directed a sequel to any of his movies, although The Fly and Scanners both had sequels.)...  read more

Mortensen, McKellen and Serkis all in talks for Hobbit roles

It's great that Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson are both on board for the upcoming Hobbit  features, but what about everyone else involved with The Lord of the Rings?
