Kevin Costner Will Direct And Star In A Little War Of Our Own I can see why people grimace when the phrase “Kevin Costnerdirects” appears. There’sWaterworldandThe Postmanand, yeah, those movies are trials. (Waterworld, Costner’s uncredited/contested effort, is actually a really entertaining trial when approached in the right light, but still.) They’re also notable for being not at all the sort of vanity actor-turned-director project that you might expect. So they failed, but not for lack of ambition....

Peter Hedges To Adapt His Novel The Heights Into A Movie One of my favourite screenwriters at work today isPeter Hedges. He’s a master of light-touch characterisation and sweetly woven plotline, and in the two films he’s directed as well as scripted, he’s shown that his eye for acutely telling detail and clear storytelling can be manifest visually as well as on the page. His first novel,What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, was adapted into a feature film, with Hedges himself behind the typewriter and Lasse Halstrom behind the camera, though as yet his second novel,An Ocean in Iowa, has not made it to the silver screen....

Robert Downey Jr Thinks This Is His Best Role – And He’s Right After pulling off the 2008 double whammy of starring in the blockbuster “Iron Man” and getting nominated for an Oscar for the hit comedy “Tropic Thunder,” it was official: Robert Downey Jr. became a superstar. This was a particularly crazy development because by that point the son of famed underground filmmaker Robert Downey Sr. had been appearing onscreen for decades, and had only a few years before been considered a drug burnout, box office poison, and an all-around lost cause....

Ron Perlman, Legend, Still Wants To Make Hellboy 3 There are always a few movies that inevitably get left out of the mainstream “Best superhero movies ever” conversation, merely because they existed before the Marvel Cinematic Universe ever arrived on the scene. M. Night Shyamalan’s “Unbreakable” still holds up as one of the best depictions of a “realistic” superhero — it’s as ahead of its time as movies can get. The other major example of this phenomenon would be Guillermo del Toro’s “Hellboy” duology, which would’ve rounded out its story with a crowd-pleasing third film if only we lived in an ideal world....
