Interviews with Viggo Mortensen are a rather rare and wonderful thing — or at least ones that don’t get all coy and snarky over his remarkable intelligence and publishing company. So, when I saw Capone’s interview with Mortensen over […]

The Book of Eli had me halfway when they cast Gary Oldman — but they got a guaranteed ticket sale from me when they cast Ray Stevenson. I’m disappointed that he’s playing another badass assassin type, but hey, at least I’ll believe he […]

Now that we’ve all had a chance to see some of the video footage that has been leaking from the set of Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds (footage that has since disappeared), you might have noticed that the man himself was nowhere to be found […]

Bit by tenuous bit, Todd Solondz’s next film is coming together. It started brewing in June of 2007, then stalled due to money issues, and then got cooking again in August with the help of Werc Werk Works. But now, oh now, the film has got its superstar.

It’s been an interesting ride for Tom Cruise’s Valkyrie. It’s received lots of apprehension, unkind words, a false Photoshop drama and a bit of a jostle with its release date. The film’s mission to get to the screen seems almost as dangerous as von Stauffenberg’s quest to assassinate Hitler. […]

Peter Weir directs movies about as often as I do, these days, which is a damn shame, since he’s one of the best there is. He hasn’t touched a camera since Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World in 2003, and 1998’s The Truman Show before that. He was […]
