"I don't want to sound too arrogant about the thing because there's nothing worse than someone saying, "I made the best damn movie of all time!", then you watch it, and you go, "Yeah..." I can say this... not that it means much... but it's definitely the best movie I've ever made. That doesn't mean it's a great film. But, for me, I think I punched above my weig
"Unfortunately, I've found in my video game experience that the big companies are just as conservative as the studios. I was disappointed with the first Hellboy game. I'm very impressed with the sandbox of Grand Theft Auto. You can get lost in that world. But we're using it just to shoot people and run over old ladies. We could be doing so much more.... In the next 10 years, there will be an earthshaking Citizen Kane of games... I'll be trying to make it. But I won't be trying until after The Hobb
Matthew Vaughn ( Layer Cake , Stardust ) recently spoke to Ain't It Cool News about his upcoming adaptation of the ultra-violent teen superhero comic book, Kick-Ass . The first ever footage of the movie will be shown during Comic-Con this year, but Vaughn has let out some details about the movie a few weeks in adva
It really sounds like Vaughn has put his all into Kick-Ass , keeping the source material firmly in mind. I am liking the sound of it - particularly of what he says about giving the movie a glossy Spider-Man feel while having all of the really gritty, really violent stuff happen on-screen. I'd love to get a look of some of those moviegoer's faces that aren't expecting such explicitn
On top of The Hobbit - which is going to be one time-consuming, exhaustive challenge to say the least (just think about the pressure he's under to "get it right") - he also has found the time to plan and start writing a trilogy of vampire novels, has a four-picture deal with Universal to make a Frankenstein movie, an adaptation the classic novel Slaughterhouse-Five , a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde movie, and an adaptation of the vampire novel Drood . After that, Universal hopes to pin him down for his "pet project" At the Mountains of Madness . To put it simply: He's booked solid until at least 2
"KICK-ASS is like nothing else that I've ever done - or a lot of other people have... And I think KICK-ASS is a movie that I can guarantee you will either 100% think is a pile of dog sh**, or you're going to love it. There will be no in-between reaction to the film. It's going to be one or the oth
"Okay. When you watch it... I will bet you any amount of money you want... anything at any odds... I'll give you a million-to-one odds if you want... that you will a) fall in love with her, b) buy her, and c) think, "My god, I just saw the Jodie Foster/Natalie Portman of this generation... I really mean that. If this movie was STAR WARS, she'd be Han So
The Wolverine origins flick recently made the jump into my top three simply because of the trailer that was released two weeks ago . I’m a huge Gambit fan and seeing some amazing scenes with him made me super excited for the film. The caveat to this is that if I find out Gambit does not have his Cajun accent in the film - then this movie will no longer by featured in my l
"I originally wrote a very long outline for a TV series I wanted to do called 'The Strain.' And then the network president at Fox said to me, 'We do want something with vampires-but could you make it a comedy?' Obviously, I responded, 'No thank you' and 'Can I have my outline bac
Now what I find unusual (or maybe not) is that Fox isn't going after Gordon in this lawsuit at all - when it seems that HE is the source of all these problems and the confusion. Of course Warner Bros. has much deeper pockets than Gordon, plus they have the film in the can - so maybe it makes sense after all. What's interesting is that they're not targeting Paramount, which also made an attempt at please click the up coming document film and had gotten the green light from Gordon before it went to
The Ultimate Matrix Collection is the most comprehensive assembly of information and footage of any home video release. Amongst all the awesome features are two commentary tracks on each of the films of the trilogy. One is from a pair of philosophers (Dr. Cornel West and Ken Wilber) and the other from three critics (Todd McCarthy, John Powers, David Thomps
According to Tarantino, this is the most personal script he wrote. There is more of him in it than any other he wrote and he would have sold it for the lowest possible amount just to prove to himself he was a real writer. It's fascinating to listen to one of the most impressive and enjoyable filmmakers gush about himself only moments after bashing his abil
"Aaron Johnson... mark my words, is going to be a huge movie star... He has that charisma where you believe every word he says. He can also stand in front of the camera and say nothing, but you still want to watch him. He's fun. The actor I think he'll become is Robert Downey, Jr. He's very similar to h
