Roland Emmerich Unveils Independence Day Sequels
There’s just something about the idea of the world being ripped to pieces that gets the box-office bees buzzing, no matter how exhausted the story arcs may be. Roland Emmerich doesn’t give cinema anything new with his latest disaster flick, 2012, and he plans to keep that trend alive as he looks to make a couple more sequels to his 1996 blockbuster, Independence Day.... read more

Despite its worldwide $624 million cash-in, reactions to the offbeat superhero flick, Hancock, boiled down to a humdrum murmur, and maybe this is why producers have been a little sluggish about its follow-up. It wasn't bad and it wasn't great, which means now is the perfect opportunity for producers Michael Mann and Akiva Goldsman to make a sequel that is better than their original.... read more

Found in: Blogs, List of the DayPaste's Double Life Playlist: The Actor/Musician
Jenny Lewis has recently released her Summer tour schedule, and we're amped about it. Many indie-music enthusiasts know her as the charming chanteuse of Rilo Kiley; however, any child of late '80s television knew the face well before the voice. Before jamming, Lewis appeared in Jell-O commercials. Before Rabbit Fur Coat, she pushed Girl Scout cookies in Troop Beverly Hills. And before romancing Jonathan Rice, she was on Fred Savage's radar in the 1989 film, The Wizard. All of this reminiscing got us thinking about some of our favorite actor-musicians, so we've created a playlist with a few faces you've... read more

Found in: Movies, ReviewsSpielberg's Will Smith collab not a remake of Oldboy
Just when we started to get worked up over Steven Spielberg’s supposed plans to remake the batshit Korean epic Oldboy with Will Smith—will he still eat a live octopus, rip out a dude’s teeth, cut out his own tongue?!?—it turns out the rumors were a little overcooked. The movie Spielberg has in mind for Smith is evidently a new interpretation of the Japanese manga Oldboy, not a remake of the actual movie.... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsInexplicable Karate Kid remake to feature Will Smith's son
Some things date a movie horribly: rear projection, clearly hand-drawn animation for special effects, Shelley Duvall in a starring role, etc. But there are some films that contain none of these elements but are still, in and of themselves, a piece of pop-culture ephemera from another time and place. This is where Karate Kid firmly lands. Its premise is ridiculous, and pretty much everything about the film seems to exist more for the pleasure of lousy VH1 Remember the __s programs than as an actual attempt at making a movie. That being said, it sure is a fun and quotable... read more
Found in: Movies, NewsWill Smith and Steven Spielberg in talks to remake Oldboy
These days Steven Spielberg is up there with David Fincher and Steven Soderbergh in terms of sheer volume of announced-yet-nowhere-near-production projects. Spielberg's seemed a bit anxious about what he wants to film, and whether to repeat the escapism of Indiana Jones or to delve deeper like he did right before that with Munich. Still, about the last thing anyone expected was to hear that he's now looking to to adapt Park Chan-wook's Oldboy.... read more
