The casts are so fantastic, the projects so good and yet it’s virtually impossible to go because they sell out so quickly.

Living Review: Bill Nighy Leads A Quietly Affecting Remake Of Akira Kurosawa’s Ikiru [Sundance 2022] Remaking the work of Akira Kurosawa (“Seven Samurai,” “Rashomon”) is almost sacrilegious. How can any filmmaker possibly hope to measure up to the masterful storytelling of such a cinematic legend? Well, in the case of Kurosawa’s classic masterpiece “Ikiru,” it’s almost imperative that the film be remade. For a story that hones in on the fleeting nature of human life and how everything we do is destined to be forgotten, we must be reminded to live as much as we can in the short time that we have on this orbiting rock....

Lucasfilm Lost Children Of Blood And Bone When It Let The Rights Lapse For most moviegoers, Lucasfilm is synonymous with “Star Wars” and “Indiana Jones,” but over the years, the studio has also branched out and produced other projects not related to those two giant IPs. One such project that it had in development was an adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s YA fantasy novel, “Children of Blood and Bone,” but according toThe Hollywood Reporter, Lucasfilm let the movie rights lapse and that is what enabled Paramount to pick them up....

Movie Trailer: The Complete, Restored Metropolis One of the big movie events of this year was the premiere of a restored version of Metropolis at the Berlin Film Festival. The outdoor screening drew large crowds despite cold and snow, and was watched via webcast by many film fans who couldn’t make the fest. (Despite the fact that you could barely see the film in the webcast.) Now there’s a trailer for the restoration, which is being released in US theaters via roadshow started in May by Kino International....

Peter Jackson Talks Tintin 2; Script Is Still A Year Away The slowly-gestatingTintinsaga may be one of the more interesting mainstream film collaborations in years —Peter JacksonandSteven Spielbergworking together is fairly remarkable — but it’s taking a long time to really develop. Peter Jackson has recently been talking about his half of the project, the second film that will theoretically happen after Spielberg’s first is released. But he tellsMTVthat he won’t even begin to hammer the script into shape for another year, as work onThe Hobbitis taking precedence....

Rumor: First Plot Details From ‘The Mummy’ Remake Revealed The upcoming Universal Monsters reboots are by far some of the most controversial reboots. Not just because Hollywood is reusing these characters again – they’ve been doing that for decades – it’s the way it’s happening. Upcoming movies featuring (we assume) the Wolf Man, Frankenstein, the Invisible Man and otherswill all share a universe, leading into a massive team up movie of some sort....
