Color me surprised. I'd always thought the crystalline Fortress of Solitude was something Richard Donner made up for the Superman movie way back when. Turns out it really exists: It's not in the arctic, though--it's deep under ground in Mexico's southern state of Chihuahua. I guess Kal-El decided to use misdirection to throw Lex Luthor off the scent. Called the "Crystal Cave of the Giants," the cave...

In the wake of The Dark Knight’s record-breaking box office haul, it’s no surprise that Warner Bros. has set ts sights on a complete reboot of the Superman movie franchise — more or less ignoring 2006’s disappointing Superman Returns. My Superman reboot would take the franchise in a completely different direction. First up, I’d set the [...]

Jeff Robinov confirmed to the Wall Street Journal, that Warner Bros will reboot the Superman franchise. “Superman [Returns] didn’t quite work as a film in the way that we wanted it to,” said Robinov. “It didn’t position the character the way he needed to be positioned. Had Superman worked in 2006, we would have had a [...]

The Wolverine situation is something that movie journalists have been talking about since February. You probably didn’t notice because most of us didn’t write about it. And even now, I’m not exactly sure what I could or should say. So I’ll just relay the RUMOR that Jeff Wells is reporting on Hollywood Elsewhere. The basic gist [...]

Long time friend of onliners and all around cool Variety deputy editor Anne Thompson decided on the status of the SUPERMAN RETURNS follow-up, supposedly titled MAN OF STEEL, and found out, interestingly enough, that the project is a priority at Warner Bros. and they're willing to go at it without RETURNS director Bryan Singer. It seems they weren't impressed enough with Singer's homage to the Richard...

All this Batman talk has got me thinking about the other good superhero movies that have been made. I thought I’d share my top 10 with ye here and see how much disagreement there was. A few things to point out first. I’m not familiar enough with the Richard Donner Superman film to accurately remember how good it was, so I’m leaving it out. Yes, I should have watched it before this post but really we’d...

Mel Gibson, who hasn't starred in a movie since 2002's Signs and appeared in one since he had a cameo in 2004's Paparazzi (to focus on making Passion of the Christ, Apocalypto, and hating Jewish people) is turning into quite a busy man lately. In addition to being cast ...

Right now, Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are rolling around in separate beds half-asleep mumbling, “We’re too old for this shit.” Let’s hope their co-stars Chris Rock, Joe Pesci and Jet Li are mumbling the exact same sentence tomorrow when they’re fully awake. It’s being reported by TrackingB that legendary screenwriter, Shane Black, has written [...]

This popular outdoor summer screening series (at dusk) continues with The Goonies (Fri.), the 1985 fantasy-adventure family flick hatched by the powerful cartel of Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus (though directed by Richard Donner). Things take a darker turn on Saturday: first is Christop...

Once I reached lunchtime and realized how long I’d been going on, I realized that it was just going to make good sense to split the first day of PBS into two parts (I’ll do the same for Day 2 as well), so we now rejoin PBS Day 1 immediately post-lunch, as we loosen our [...]

My favorite part of Superman 2: The Fan Cut ––YouTube user ABDirector’s mash-up of the originally released version of the film directed by Richard Lester with original Superman director Richard Donner’s version that came out on DVD a couple of year ago––is the comment threads. People take Superman II very seriously . They also take recuts very seriously, and everyone has their own idea of how they’d...
