The San Diego Comic-Con 2009 in Review

You’ve read the reports, you’ve seen the pictures, and some lucky few of you were actually there to witness it, but we here at the site missed out on Comic-Con this year. Due to forces beyond our control we were unable to continue our annual tradition of sending writers from our site to the big [...]

Pirates 4 Under The Deft Hands of Broadway Afficionado

Will Jack Sparrow break into a perfectly choreographed musical number set on a dramatically lit stage somewhere in the heart of Broadway? Probably not, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be able to do it in style. Rumblings have done their best to confirm that Rob Marshall, director of the Academy Award Winning Chicago and [...]

Optimus Prime Obliderates the Box Office July 1st-5th

It took Transformers Revenge of the Fallen two weeks to become the highest grossing movie of the year. Despite generally negative reviews and reports that the film was rushed in its writing and post-production (Michael Bay left the Japan premiere early to finalize the last of the effect shots) it has since moved beyond the [...]

Marty Directs Frank… Sinatra That Is

Johnny Depp’s ‘The Rum Diary’ Finally Gets Rolling

The Rum Diary seems like one of those projects that’s been brewing in Hollywood forever.  It’s an adaptation of a novel by Hunter S. Thompson that Johnny Depp has long wanted to star in, but nothing ever seemed to happen on it — for a while, Benicio Del Toro was supposed to direct, and Josh [...]

See Johnny Depp and Christian Bale in Official Public Enemies Photos

I guess print media isn’t dead after all, if all the exclusive photos that Empire magazine lands is any indication. They got a bunch of Star Trek photos, today’s look at Gambit, and now the first official stills from Public Enemies.
The Michael Mann (Collateral) movie, set in the 1930s, stars Depp as gangster John [...]

First Look at Johnny Depp as Tim Burton’s Mad Hatter!

Yep.  That sure is Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.
Picture comes courtesy of Johnny-Depp.org via Bad & Ugly.  Looks like a screen/make-up test of some sort, but I like the bunny.  I also like the look better than his Willy Wonka.  Better hair, and I doubt this one will be an obvious Michael Jackson impression.
If [...]

More Cast for Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland

Tim Burton directing a live-action/CGI adaptation of Alice in Wonderland is cool news, but it’s not exactly surprising.  Neither was the news that — shocker — he landed Johnny Depp to play the Mad Hatter.
But Burton has good instincts, and I’m pumped that he found In Treatment’s terrific Mia Wasikowska to play his Alice.  The supporting [...]
