I’ve been telling you lately about the next show on tap from entertainment mogul JJ Abrams, creator of Alias, and co-creator of Fringe and of course, Lost. As well as a few art house movies you may have heard of, called Cloverfield and Star Trek. The new show, which will air on NBC, is described as a lighthearted adventure centering on a madly-in-love husband/wife duo who work together as spies....
It has been reported that Cloverfield producer and Star Trek director J. J. Abrams is in negotiations to take charge of a big screen adaptation of The Micronauts , derived from a 1970s Japanese toy...
Thanks to The ODI for the heads up. With their now expected levels of secrecy and sneakiness, it seems that JJ Abrams and Bad Robot are already deep into bringing a mysterious movie called 500 Rads to the screen. At least that’s if it will be called 500 Rads and this isn’t just some kind of hazy-fantazy codename. The leaked information so far pegs the film at a sweet little $25 million...
The worst thing about Cloverfield was that all the characters were dicks, so you ended up siding with the monster. In Monster Evolution , that problem doesn’t exist. Because, you see, you are the monster. You run around eating people and then, once you’ve eaten enough, you evolve. Depending on the evolutionary path you’ve chosen, you end up as one of several giant, fully-evolved...
Star Trek director/producer JJ Abrams continues to build his portfolio of projects in development. Today its being reported that Abrams is producing a movie based on the Micronauts toy line. There is also a rumor that he has another Cloverfield-like project in development. Micronauts: The Movie Micronauts were a popular toyline in the 70s from Japan, [...]
Yesterday we told you that JJ Abrams was producing another top-secret Cloverfield-sized film titled 500 Rads. In a post-Cloverfield/Star Trek world, JJ Abrams is working on a lot of different projects -- not 24 hours later do we find out that the screenwriter turned filmmaker/producer is in talks to produce a movie adaptation of Micronauts. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Abrams is in discussions...
Looks like the rumour mill is starting up again for another under the radar J.J. Abrams movie that is slowly being developed in secrecy -- just like Cloverfield was a couple of years ago. The folks over at Pajiba recently got word from an inside source that Abrams and his Bad Robot production company are working on a new project called 500 Rads, and while they don't know exactly what it's about, they...

Plenty of people are miffed that Overture Films is even making a new version of Let the Right One In roughly a year after the Swedish film made a big impact on critics and arthouse crowds. Of course, the film didn't really register with mainstream audiences, so Overture picked up the rights to the novel and is giving it an English language once-over in hopes of attracting more than a few hundred thousand...
This is how we do it: Details are sketchy, but numerous witnesses report that veteran feature editor Henry Allen punched out feature writer Manuel Roig-Franzia on Friday. The fracas took place in sight of [ Washington ] Post executive editor Marcus Brauchli’s office. Brauchli rushed to separate the two. It should be noted that Allen is nearly seventy, but he served in the Marines in Vietnam....
The video is more impressive to me than the song, but here’s geek rock band Weezer with their latest “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To” from their new album Ratitude. The video features Cloverfield’s Odette Yustman. Weezer – “(If You’re Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To”
Yup. Wow. Cloverfield director, Matt Reeves' American adap. of the Swedish book/film Let the Right One In just got pretty darn interesting with the addition of Casey Jones himself, Mr. Elias Koteas playing the role of the policeman. Incidentally this was a pretty important character in the book, but not in Tomas Alfredson's film. Production began yesterday on the Overture/Hammer co-production which...
After crushing New York with the unnamed monster of CLOVERFIELD, director Matt Reeves is scaling it down for LET ME IN, an Americanization of the outstanding Swedish vampire movie/novel LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. The remake from Overture and the reincarnated Hammer Films is now underway in Albuquerque, New Mexico (with the setting itself apparently shifted from the originally planned wintry Colorado)....
