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

And now, a brief look at a few of the latest movie trailers to hit the web:AustraliaRelease Date: Nov. 26Director: Baz LuhrmannStarring: Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman, David Wenham On the surface, Australia seems to radiate quality and prestige. Sumptuous costumes? Check. Gorgeous candy-colored hues? Check. Epic war-time romance? Check. Sure-to-be-terrific performances? Well, maybe. Neither Kidman or Jackman look entirely comfortable, and just because the two hail from down under doesn't guarantee they'll have chemistry on screen. Luhrmann's previous films (Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge!) have often leaned a little more toward style than substance. Despite that, the trailer proves... read more
