I have just added the trailer for Paper Man an upcoming dramedy starring Jeff Daniels, Emma Stone, Ryan Reynolds, Lisa Kudrow and Kieran Culkin in which Daniels plays Richard, a failed middle-aged novelist, and Stone plays Abby, a 17-year-old girl whose role in a family tragedy years earlier has stolen away her youth. The two of them…

I apologize for the headline if you are a RopeofSilicon reader and you actually paid money to go see Meet the Spartans because I cannot for the life of me comprehend why anyone in their right mind would pay hard earned money to see a movie featuring images such as the one above. Somehow, some way, that…

A batch of seven behind the scenes pictures from the set of Alfonso Cuaron‘s Gravity have come online giving you a peek at actors George Clooney and Sandra Bullock before the computers took over. I will warn you, however, some of these pictures can be a little spoilery as they hint at the trajectory of the film’s plot. I don’t think it really matters, though,…

When I first heard Michael Sheen talk about the original TRON I figured he was pulling my leg. I mean, how can it be possible for a Welsh actor best known for his spot on replications of Tony Blair and David Frost to actually claim the original TRON was the film that made him want to become an actor. Ridiculous,…

The movie world was lit on fire yesterday as word Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming epic Australia had its ending changed at the insistence of 20th Century Fox studio execs from sad to happy. You can get all the spoilery details right here. Well, I had a long chat with a Fox rep yesterday about the situation, and what I…

op 10 Great Movie Deaths Movies love to kill people, and actors love to die (preferably slowly and with a great close-up). Yet, more often than not, film fatalities are an accountant’s errand. Just another tally mark in the body count. This isn’t a list celebrating the art of ludicrous squibs and exploding craniums. The…

Based on the weekend box office and considering today is a holiday here in the States, I have to assume a lot of you have now seen X-Men: Days of Future Past and those that have are probably wondering who the guy is in the film’s post credits scene. First off, I didn’t know who it was…

A story started making the rounds yesterday via the Daily Mail quoting The Wolf of Wall Street producers Joey McFarland and Riza Aziz, founders of Red Granite Pictures, saying Martin Scorsese‘s much-talked-about four hour director’s cut of the film would find its way onto the Blu-ray once released. The story sounded a little fishy to me so before posting I reached…

Director Guy Ritchie offers up the first picture of Charlie Hunnam (“Sons of Anarchy”, Pacific Rim) as the title star in Knights of the Roundtable: King Arthur as production has just begun on what Warner Bros. hopes will be their very own medieval franchise. Astrid Berges-Frisbey stars as Guinevere and Jude Law will play the film’s villain, Vortigern. Additionally, Eric Bana will paly Arthur’s father Uther Pendragon, Djimon Hounsou is…

I liked Nic Cage in Kick-Ass, but his upcoming role in Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (7/16) looks a bit… off. I have yet to watch any of the trailer footage, but the pictures alone look a bit weird to me as he plays a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath…
