Merrick here...
Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.
When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a real hang-loose type interview I did with Gil Kenan, director of CITY OF EMBER, which opens today, as well MONSTER HOUSE.
Kenan came through Austin to show the flick at Fantastic Fest, bringing Bill Murray in tow. I didn’t get a chance to interview Mr. Murray, but I did get a chance to shake his hand get in some small talk, which rocked my socks off. I can’t believe I spoke with Peter Venkman…

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here, with my second report about my recent QUANTUM OF SOLACE adventures in London. I've already filled you in on the centerpiece of my four-day, three-night journey--interviews with QUANTUM director Marc Forster and James Bond himself, Daniel Craig--but the good folks at Columbia/Sony Pictures had many an activity planned for myself and small group of online journalists.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
At 58%, Rotten Tomatoes is being generous with this film.
Look, I love Ridley Scott as a visual filmmaker. I think he’s got an exceptional eye, and his sense of how to stage a sequence has gotten more and more impressive over time.

It wasn’t that long ago that I had very little interest in seeing a movie called ROLE MODELS. It seemed from the first trailer to be a saccharine sweet buddy film about grown children that learn to become MEN. And that stuff, like saccharine… gives ya cancer. I’m serious. If you just watch films about juvenile young men putting their childish sides aside… you will develop EYE CANCER.

A post-apocalyptic children’s film about the Morlock existence of humanity after… the big… whatever happened. That’s CITY OF EMBER. At no point do we know what year the world came to an end. Nor do we know what year the City of Ember was constructed or inhabited. We know from the pre-credit sequence that it seemed to have been made years before the end. The concept was that the people of Ember knew nothing of the outside world, so that when the outside world came to an end, they would not feel the loss for what was lost.

When AICN hosted its screening for SEX DRIVE last month, I was a little nervous. Though I was secure in my assessment of the film as a quality throwback to the best teen sex comedies of the 1980s, I was worried that I'd oversold it. After all, my first viewing was ideal; aside from a "Hey, I know you!" interview with Clark Duke at Comic Con and a fairly amusing red-band trailer, I walked in knowing next to nothing about the movie. At best, I was hoping for a quick, painless, intermittently amusing ninety minutes.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. We just got a tipoff from someone in the know at Disney that Glen Keane is stepping down as director of the upcoming Disney animation film RAPUNZEL.
Keane is most known as a great animator having worked on Disney's animated films starting with THE RESCUERS. He's had his hand in everything from PETE'S DRAGON (one of my favorites), THE GREAT MOUSE DETECTIVE, THE LITTLE MERMAID, BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALADDIN, POCAHONTAS and TARZAN (the latter two he also helped write).

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a nice little chat I had with Kevin Smith when he came through town to premiere ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO at this year’s Fantastic Fest.
I had briefly met Smith twice before, but oddly this was the first conversation I’ve had with the man. I’m a fan of his stuff. He always goes for the laugh and to the people of my generation, and the generation immediately before mine, he represents an important voice. He’s one of us that made it, which has given rise to as much jealousy as adoration.

Over at Latino Review, El Mayimbe (which is Spanish for The Mayimbe) has some Warner informants telling him who the studio wants to play Hal Jordan/Green Lantern in the theoretical feature film.
Movement on the project seemed to escalate when George Miller's JUSTICE LEAGUE project (temporarily?) bellied-up a while back.
And the Lantern du jour is? Ryan Gosling ("gosling" means young goose).

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
I was enormously fond of Paul Malmont’s debut novel, THE CHINATOWN DEATH CLOUD PERIL,a tribute to pulp heroes and pulp conventions and pulp writers a la THE ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER AND CLAY or CARTER BEAT THE DEVIL, so when he contacted me to ask if I was interested in reading an early copy of his new book, I made room for it at the top of the stack when it arrived.
