Not Everyone Was Embarrassed To Have Their Films On Mystery Science Theater 3000 For most filmmakers, a film is a labor of love; the product of countless hours of manpower, painstaking attention to detail, and thorough teamwork. As such, a director might be precious about their work. When it’s mocked or the analysis seems especially off, said director might take to social media and get into spats with critics. It’s happened on occasion....

One Of Shaun Of The Dead’s Most Memorable Moments Wasn’t In The Script “Shaun of the Dead” eliminates the need on movie night to choose between a zom-com (zombie comedy) or rom-com (romantic comedy) by giving audiences a blend of them both with a “rom-zom-com,” as writer/director Edgar Wright and writer/star Simon Pegg once described it toMTV News. In “Shaun of the Dead,” Pegg plays the titular Shaun while Nick Frost plays his best friend, Ed....

Paul Verhoeven Does Not Endorse The ‘Starship Troopers’ Remake, Says It Would Fit In With A “Trump Presidency” I used to think aboutStarship Troopersevery single day because it’sone of my favorite moviesand I quote it often and I find its satiric look at a fascist future society both hilarious and chilling. It put a babyfaced Neil Patrick Harris in a Nazi SS uniform. It’s directorPaul Verhoeven’s scathing masterpiece. But now I think about it every hour or so,not just because it’s being remade as version that will be more faithful toRobert Heinlein’s original novel, but because the current state of American politics has me pondering Verhoeven’s cynical, authoritarian vision of the future (see: his other genre masterpiece,RoboCop)....

Promo Images: Naomi Watts As Marilyn Monroe In Blonde; Spielberg’s New Show Terra Nova Last week we heard thatChopperandThe Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert ForddirectorAndrew Dominikwould directNaomi WattsinBlonde, a biopic ofMarilyn Monroe. Now there’s already what appears to be the first image of Watts as Monroe, snapped at Cannes. Best guess is this is a photoshop comp based on a test photo of Watts in character. I’d still say Watts is too skinny to convincingly play Monroe, but this shows she has the attitude, and she can always do a littleRaging Bulldiet to push herself a little closer to the right build....

Though a couple of stellar versions exist that focus squarely on Dickens' story of redemption during the holidays, focusing on a nasty moneylender, the majority of adaptations are defined by their unique and extra hook. It’sA Christmas Carol— but as a modern comedy starring Bill Murray! It’sA Christmas Carol— but in motion-capture animation with Jim Carrey playing multiple roles!...

Stephen King Calls This Director His Favorite Collaborator Stephen King is the unquestioned king of horror when it comes to the literary world. Part of what gives him that distinction also makes his books incredibly challenging to adapt to film. King’s writing heaps layer upon layer of descriptive narrative and scenery with round, complex characters for our imagination to digest. Several of his novels top 1,000 pages. To say the least, this depth of character, landscape, and narrative is challenging when it comes to adapting his work to film....
