Official Iron Man 2 Poster (Featuring War Machine!)
2 hours ago
There is a new movie coming out next year, a sequel really, that many of you may not have heard of yet. It’s about this dude with a heart condition that builds this suit to help him right wrongs and fight evil. He owns a weapons manufacturing company, is a super-genius and has hot women fawning all over him – basically it’s my biography.
Ok, fine, the movie is Iron Man 2 and it’s one of the most anticipated films of 2010. Long after the effects of New Moon have waned and Avatar has been released on Blu-ray, Iron Man 2 will swoop in and kick the summer movie season off with a big repulsor blast.
Every movie geek was screaming like a teenage girl at a midnight showing of Twilight when War Machine made his first appearance this year at Comic Con. Now, thanks to Yahoo! Movies, we »

What Should Warner Bros. Do About Superman?
4 hours ago
Anne Thompson over at Thompson on Hollywood ran a Superman post the other day that basically reiterates a lot of the things we’ve been reporting here at Screen Rant all throughout the Summer/Fall of 2009:
The rights to the character are still being fought over by DC Comics/Warner Bros. and the heirs of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Dce/WB has No plans to rush a Superman movie into production before a 2013 legal deadline. The franchise is effectively in limbo at the moment. As far as we can tell, ain’t nobody doin’ nuthin’ about it.
Comic book movie fans, right now one of our biggest icons is being benched because of some legal hangups, a loss of purpose and direction and a general sense of greed run amok. So what’s to be done about it? I have some suggestions and I know you do too… »

Paul Greengrass Walks Away From Bourne 4
5 hours ago
For literally months and months now, all we’ve heard regarding a fourth installment in the successful and critically acclaimed Bourne franchise – dubbed Bourne 4 for the time being – are the repeated claims by star Matt Damon and Supremacy/Ultimatum director, Paul Greengrass, that the next installment is being worked on and that they have a story but no script. Every time we heard something new, however, the project always seemed to be getting pushed forward, inch by inch.
Today comes a bit of shocking news that puts a large wrench in the Bourne 4 works, at least for the time being. Apparently, according to The Playlist (who has the exclusive on the story), Greengrass has walked away from the project. “Sources and friends close to the project,” say this actually happened not just in the last day or two, but more than a week ago, and for some reason we’re »

Ghost House Pictures has a Panic Attack
8 hours ago
There is another robot film coming out, but before you groan, it doesn’t have Michael Bay (Transformers), McG (Terminator) or Shawn Levy (Real Steel) attached. This one is called Panic Attack has a director you’ve most likely have never heard of attached, Fede Alvarez. That name might not make your ears perk up (yet) but this one will: Sam Raimi.
Raimi’s production company Ghost House Pictures (Drag Me to Hell, 30 Days of Night: Dark Days) has won a bidding war between a bunch of major studios to sign a seven-figure deal with Alvarez to have him direct a feature-length film based on a 4 minute short he released earlier this year.
Fede Alvarez is a commercial director from Uruguay (small country in South America just below Brazil), and until now no one outside of that country had heard of him. That is, until Kanye West posted a link »

Paramount Picks Up ‘Area 51′
8 hours ago
Some new, quite extensive details have just surfaced for Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli’s followup film, Area 51. No, it’s not a sequel to the mega-hit Paranormal Activity (although that’s also in the works), but rather – and no prizes if you guessed it – a film about aliens. The plot we heard about at the beginning of last month involved three teens whose curiosity leads them to the famous secret-section of the Nellis Air Force Base out in the Nevada Desert, in search of extraterrestrial phenomenon.
The studio which “took the chance” on Paranormal Activity was Paramount Pictures, and now it’s landed the U.S. distribution rights to Area 51.
Variety reports the news, and also reveals that Peli had a significantly increased budget to play with this time around, jumping from $15,000 to about $5 million. That’s still not much compared to some Hollywood movies (both Transformers 2 »

The Hobbit To Start Shooting In Summer 2010?
10 hours ago
One of the most eagerly anticipated and discussed upcoming movies is Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson’s upcoming adaptation of The Hobbit. Little snippets of sometimes true and sometimes false information keep rolling out almost like clockwork, with the last one reported on being just this past weekend when producer Peter Jackson talked about the fact that he’s been scouting shooting locations for The Hobbit, and confirmed the film would Not be coming to us in three-dimensions (thanks God, I say).
However, today we get some more information on The Hobbit, following and related to the news that the script for at least the first part is done and handed into the studio who seem to be happy with it (remember, the film is being split into two parts and released a year apart from one another). A quote from TheOneRing.net, which originated over at a German site called MovieReporter. »

Terminator Salvation (Director’s Cut) Blu-ray Review
20 hours ago
I’m finding that there are some movies that I like more upon a second viewing. It could be that once expectations are set aside (either upheld or smashed upon the first viewing) that it’s easier to accept a movie a bit more… forgivingly. While I certainly still don’t love Terminator Salvation (click link for my initial review), I’ll have to admit I found myself enjoying it more the second time around.
Terminator Salvation is released on DVD and Blu-ray this week, and I’ll be giving you the specs and a review of the Blu-ray director’s cut version right here.
The film wasn’t the huge hit the studio was hoping for in the U.S., bringing in only $125Mm. However it did much better overseas, bringing it’s worldwide total to a respectable $371Mm. As far as reviews go, it earned a 32% positive rating at Rotten Tomatoes, »

Just a few days ago Screen Rant posted some updates regarding Thor discussing another addition to the film’s stellar cast and some confusion of how the movie will follow the comics, or even which version of Marvel’s Thor it will follow.
