Jemaine Clement Finds Himself in a Predicament
7 hours ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Fans of music comedy Flight of the Conchords rejoice, because while you won’t be seeing the duo from New Zealand in their retired hit show, you will find Jemaine Clement on the silver screen. In fact, you might have already caught Clement in the recently released Gentlemen Broncos. Now, according to Quiet Earth, Clement will star in the upcoming Jason Stutter crime comedy Predicament, based on the late Ronald Hugh Morrieson novel. Here’s the logline for the film: A crime comedy set in 1930s New Zealand in which a naive teenager conspires with two misfits to photograph and blackmail wealthy, adulterous couples.
Anyone that has seen Clement star in Flight of the Conchords knows that his serious-faced hilarity should make this a film to watch for. The storyline itself sounds interesting enough and one can only hope that Stutter will let Clement improvise his scenes. Perhaps Clement will »

49 minutes ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
The last we reported on the Ghost Rider sequel nobody wants, David Goyer had mentioned that the studio was using his 9-year old script as the basis. Our good friend Frosty over at Collider recently got a chance to speak with producer Mike De Luca about the sequel, and came away with a number of updates (which I'm sure the lot of you have been waiting for with bated breath). The film is tentatively titled Ghost Rider: The Spirit of Vengeance, and De Luca confirmed that director Mark Steven Johnson (Daredevil) and Eva Mendes won't be returning. We also learned that they're looking at the film as a reboot for the franchise (a la Louis Leterrier's The Incredible Hulk), it's currently set in Europe, and there's a possibility it may get the 3D treatment. De Luca also mentioned that he's open to Goyer directing the film, it's all »

Sand Serpents (DVD Review)
52 minutes ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
People love monster movies. When I was a little kid legends were made on Saturday afternoon TV when the monster movies were shown. Rhi Entertainment’s Maneater Series harkens back to these fantastic and outrageous TV monster movies. From this series you get your choice from bears, gorillas, wasps, squids, etc. and in this case it’s Sand Serpents.
The special effects are the selling point to this series. Here they are used as accents to the action. So after a gun battle or during a military rescue/ escape these giant snakes jump into the mix. In the meantime there’s small plot to mull and plenty of extra actors for snake bait. Eventually the leftover actors figure out how to avoid and kill the snakes which would have taken a lot less time if somebody said “You know just like in the movie Tremors.” But it’s ok we can live with it. »

Isle Of The Snake People (1971, DVD Review)
56 minutes ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
The premise for this film is the same as White Zombie from 1932, with plantation owner using zombies as cheap labor. The first filmed starred Bela Lugosi and in this version stars Boris Karloff. Both movies are a little slow and rely on the star power of their respective stars. Snake People was one of the last in Karloff’s career and it’s a patch job of scenes shot at different times in different countries. The dialogue tends to meander and the picture gets a bit muddy.
If you are a fan of B movies then you will stick around for the zombie ritual. There is a midget who keeps the zombies in check with a whip and aids in the ritual by beheading a chicken. There is also an exotic snake dancer who purpose is to add to the hypnotic trance of the ritual. The film resolves when the plantation owner, »

James Franco has signed on to star as mountaineer Aron Ralston Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours.” The film would follow the incredible true-life story of Ralston, who spent five days with his right forearm pinned under a boulder during a May 2003 climb in Utah’s Blue John Canyon.

Boyle will be directing “127 Hours,” with filming set to begin in March in Utah. The project has a tentative late 2010 release set. Stay tuned to Shockya.com for more on “127 Hours”.

Ghost Rider 2 Motors Ahead
1 hour ago | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Ghost Rider, motorcycle hero, may be riding through Europe with his head on fire sooner rather than later (ie. sometime this year), according to a Collider interview with producer Mike De Luca. The tentatively titled Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is, as previously reported, an update by David Goyer of his own decade-old treatment, from the days when Stephen Norrington was sniffing around the franchise, and Mark Steven Johnson was still only the director of Grumpy Old Men. De Luca says that, as Gr is "a unique blend of theology and action", the production team are liking Nic Cage's idea to take the Flaming Skull to Europe: "we could avail ourselves of a lot of religious sites and history that aren't available in the Us. We want to be as fresh and new as we can get in terms of getting away from that pseudo-western thing."Elsewhere in the interview, »
The Mask (1961, DVD Review)
1 hour ago | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Every once in a while you get a B-Movie that gets it right. In the case of The Mask get it half right at least. Yes, this is a similar story to the one used for The Mask with Jim Carrey. No, this movie is not a comedy; the mask takes advantage of its host to commit murder. There are no swing dance scenes, catch phrases or cute dogs.
No lie, the 3D effects are pretty neat-o, keen-o for 1961. Imagine crowds of drive-in movie goers oohing and ahhing over the modern technology. The problem is waiting through the story to get to someone to put the mask on! Once the mask goes on the movie goes completely surreal with disembodied body parts, grimacing skulls with snakes coming out the sockets, flaming limbs, and fog covered landscapes with robed people reaching out toward the viewer. The 3D effects only occur during these surreal scenes. »

Rumor Control: No Cruise/Lautner Pairing; Muse Possibly Soundtracking Clash of the Titans
1 hour ago | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
In the past twenty-four hours a few stories have broken that were either debunked, shown to be partially wrong, or are a bit optimistic. Brendon quickly jumped on top of Universal's denial of alternate cuts of The Wolfman, but here are a couple other items to be critical of. Yesterday, there was news that Taylor Lautner would co-star with Tom Cruise in Northern Lights, which sounded sort of like Top Gun, Jr. Now EW reports that Cruise isn't part of the package, and never was. And, in fact, Nikki Finke (who, like it or not, usually has good info) got the logline wrong, too. Hers was out of date. Here's the current one, via Skydance, the production company: Set against the backdrop of extreme flying, Northern Lights follows four young pilots as they compete against the world’s best. A story of teamwork, sacrifice, loss, and victory, these young aviators »

The Road brings fictional ecological disasters into the here and now | Ed Gillespie
1 hour ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Wall-e was endearing and Avatar epic, but The Road is an eco-film we can more humanly relate to
There's an iconic scene in The Road, the brilliant film of Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer prize-winning novel that hits cinemas today, involving a can of Coke. Viggo Mortensen's character, referred to simply as "the man", prises the beverage from a dusty, wrecked vending machine for him and his son, "the boy", to share.
They've been slogging their way across an equally dusty and wrecked landscape in the aftermath of an ambiguous environmental catastrophe. It's the first "food" they've had in days. As the boy takes his first ever sip of the fizzy drink, you can feel the audience tangibly empathising with him.
It's poignant as it's maybe one of the few scenes viewers can directly relate to in a world of bleak despondency turned horribly upside down: perpetually grey skies, the rumble of earthquakes underfoot, »

An Awesome Video Interview with Matthew Goode; Talks A Single Man, Leap Year, Cemetary Junction and Watchmen
1 hour ago | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
Every once in awhile you do an interview that just comes out awesome. Today is one of those days.
I recently got to speak with Matthew Goode and while some actors are guarded and careful with their answers and opinions, what I love about Matthew Goode is his honesty and his willingness to talk about anything and everything. Also, he was willing to light up and smoke on camera and not apologize for it. Trust me when I say most Hollywood actors would never do this.
The reason I got to speak to Goode was for his recent work in Tom Ford’s great debut film A Single Man. But with Goode also in Ricky Gervais upcoming Cemetary Junction and the romantic comedy Leap Year, we also covered those films. And for fans of Watchmen, we discussed that film at length as he played Adrian Veidt/Ozymandias.
