  A bunch of fanmade fake posters for the JJ Abrams produced monster movie code-named Cloverfield have been floating around the web. Some blogs are claiming that the posters are real. They aren’t. So you might be wondering why I’ve decided to post them anyway. I thought some of them show some cool conceptual imagery. It just makes you

  Our friends at FilmIck have posted a visual guide to the Watchmen casting. The guide compares the characters to the various actors who were supposed to play them over the years. I’m unable to connect some of these names to the directors, but most of them seem legit. Click on the image to enlarge. Watchmen is a classic graphic novel, and

  I see more films in a month years than most people see in a year, yet I’m still horrible at playing Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. Thankfully Geekza has created a helpful guide for how to win when you’re forced into playing at your next drunken get-together. There seems to be one key hint: The Ensemble Cast Is Your Friend: Murder in the

• Pixar Monopoly? No Way!

  My only question is, where is Remy? If I were a kid living in the 1980’s, I would have loved a Pixar themed monopoly board game (likely due to the super advanced computer generated characters from the future) But in the new millennium, a board game seems retro. Or as Elijah Wood’s character says in Back to the Future 2: “You

• Disney plans to open George Lucas Land Theme Park?

  Okay, so the headline might be just a little bit deceiving. Disney is renaming the Disney-MGM Theme Park in Orlando to Disney’s Hollywood Studio. But the park will not just be renamed, but restructured into different lands (almost like how Universal handles Islands of Adventure). According to Jim Hill, there are plans to increase George

• Star Wars Metal Sculptures

  I want a scrap metal Yoda sculpture, but am unwilling to pay $1,300+. Anyone want to buy it for me? Who knows if these metal sculptures are officially licensed by LucasFilm. I’m guessing not because if they were, they would likely be double the price. I also think the droid below is pretty kick ass. His price-tag is $3,000+. YumiModal also

  While re-watching the trailer for Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales, I was able to spot two instances of a Donnie Darko easter egg. Frank’s Bunny head can be seen on a poster which is in the background of some scenes. Anyone have any idea what the text below the head on the poster says? Click on the image above to enlarge. The trailer

  Earlier this week we told you about the biggest LEGO set ever released, the Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Millennium Falcon, which is now shipping. The set costs $499, has 5,000 pieces and comes with a heavy ring-binded instruction manual.

  When Hollywood isn’t ruining the movies from my childhood with cheap direct-to-DVD sequels (Wargames 2?), they are trying to make a quick buck with a “branded” franchise video game (Did anyone play that Jaws video game a few years back?). Worldwide Biggies has just announced that they are creating a video game based on the 1987

And the site doesn’t ever change, throughout the past few year’s the features have virtually remained the same. Well yesterday they launched a new feature: Character Profile Pages. The main features of a character page

  I know this isn’t exactly movie news, but hey, they are making an Incredible Hulk movie, so it somehow qualifies. Check out this Hulk PC-mod. It has to be one of the best custom PC-creations I’ve ever seen. It took the creator over 14 months to build. Now if only Marvel would license this sucker and sell it. Although, I’m afraid
