Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Lord knows my bullshit detector isn't great when it comes to early photos. I posted some early concepts of Heath Ledger as the Joker that, while accurate to all available information at the time, were fan-made.

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I'm right there with Protozoid (writer below) with a sense of giddy prayer that it is happening. The idea of Malick bringing one of the most legendary (and mysterious) poems of the English language to life... well, that it is a poem and that Malick is nothing if not a cinematic poet... Consider AICN officially on the case now. And we're praying it comes to be.
Hey, fellas

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Okay, first off... consider this rumor... and even consider it an unlikely rumor given that Tarantino recently did an interview in which he said he would never ever have an original score to any of his films... I think he said, to paraphrase, why should he get an original score when he can hand pick the perfect cues from the best composers to have ever lived, a whole history of motion picture music at his disposal?

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
I'm in London, it's just after 8:14 in the morning, and I have to go shower and get ready to head to the set of KICK-ASS for today. All very last minute. But before I run out the door, there's an e-mail from a spy who makes a very persuasive case that there is indeed a director onboard now for the CONAN project that Lionsgate has been developing.

Hey folks, Harry here... What A Bummer! I followed up with Frank Darabont about the below story, and unfortunately it is true. Frank and the production parted ways over a week ago. Oh well, my enthusiasm for the production has now ebbed.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
Okay. Let’s get something straight regarding the occasional BUZZKILL column here on the site. I’ve got nothing against a good rumor. My problem is with bad rumors. I’ve been sifting through them for 12 years online, and I’ve got a decent average. Not perfect. But decent. Either you buy that by now or you don’t.

Hey folks, Harry here... Does anyone here want to see Will Smith play Captain America? I like Will Smith - but I hate stunt casting. Ugh. I just don't have the energy to address this rumor - but let's hope that is all that it is...

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s installment of A Movie A Day.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
I didn’t say rumors are bad as an absolute.
Of course they’re not. Discussion of rumors is a big part of being a movie fan. Has been as long as I’ve been a movie fan. And I would never, under any circumstance, say “never ever listen to a rumor.” That’s just silly, and if that’s what it sounded like I was saying in the last “Buzzkill,” then I’m sorry.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
You know, a good 2/3 of all stupid Internet movie rumors that gain any traction whatsoever could be stopped cold in their tracks if people would just think. I know it's Hollywood, but logic does still apply.
I’m not going to promise BUZZKILL as a regular column, but when the situation presents itself, maybe we should trot this one out from time to time.
First, let’s talk about BATMAN 3.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. After I posted the TRON 2 story earlier in the day, I did a run of 6 interviews, then hit a screening of FANBOYS. I just now got back to the hotel and I found a little info waiting for me in the inbox.
Disney is being incredibly secretive on this. I think they even sent out a statement that said essentially that there is no statement.

Merrick here...
A few weeks back we got a look at the unexpectedly promising looking MAX PAYNE trailer (HERE).
Two posters for the film have now been released, which you can find below. Like the headline says: I think these are pretty awesome myself...raw, inventive, unusual, compelling. And, above all, they're memorable.
What do you think?

It’s in your best interest to drop by the Disney panel at ComicCon, I’ve been warned, and not by Disney. By an anonymous source who claims this is one of three panels where there are going to be big giant unscheduled things a-happenin’.
Of course, that could just be a way of getting us to tell you to drop by the panels for Disney, Fox, and Dark Castle. But what if it’s true? What is this bombshell surprise that is planned?

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Looks like a call sheet from the filming of TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (I'm told there is no "2" in the title) has sneaked onto the net, with some spoilage.
Website Transformerslive.blogspot.com has the scoop and a rundown of some of the transformers included not only in the scene, but the rest of the movie.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Warner Bros loveses them some Guy Ritchie right now.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
Okay. So CHUD.COM is now confirming this as a spoiler and not just a rumor.

Merrick here...
CinemaBlend says Jean-Claude Van Damme (and possibly Dolph Lundgren as well) are poking at the possibility of reprising their role as back-from-the-dead super-soldiers in a new UNIVERSAL SOLDIER film.
In the wake of humongoid projects like STARGATE and INDEPENDENCE DAY, it's easy to forget that the UNIVERSAL SOLDIER franchise was launched by Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here.
His name is Thomas Sangster. I know it takes away my manliness to say this, but LOVE, ACTUALLY is one of my favorite rom-coms. I love that film and everybody (who is a romantic at heart, mind you) that I've shown the film or suggested it to has loved it. And Sangster is part of the reason that film works.

Hey folks, Harry here... First we saw Rocky return, then it was Rambo... now - it looks like the gods are giving us one last Harry Callahan story! Today, it cracked in the trades that there was a new Clint Eastwood movie called GRAN TORINO - nobody seems to know what it is, but we know that Eastwood is going to star. Online - folks like Jeremy Smith were not so quietly hoping it meant... Dirty Harry. Well... here's a note I just received:
Harry.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I can’t tell you what I know.
And I can’t tell you how I know it.
But I can tell you to go check out Steve “Frosty Skywalker” Weintraub’s story on the live-action STAR WARS show over at Collider.com, and I can tell you with absolute conviction that you should pay attention to his rumors on the show in that article because he may just be telling you the truth.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
We’ll see. One of these isn’t so much an “update” just as a way to tie things together. Overall, I just feel like talkin’ a little James Bond on a Sunday afternoon.
First up, we got a little word on when you can expect to see your first QUANTUM OF SOLACE trailer:
Hey Harry,

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
I have no idea what to make of this film. I admire Darren Bousman for making SAW films as a way of getting his own pet project financed, and I’m curious as hell. Passion-driven movies like this can either turn out to be brilliant personal little gems or indulgent bags of shit, but they’re almost always worth seeing on some level, even if it’s just to witness the hubris on display.

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.
This is amazing news, and if it’s old news to other people, so be it. I hadn’t heard it yet, and now I’m excited to see what the heck Donnie Yen’s going to do with this amazing story.
Ip Man was famous for teaching Wing Chun, a particular Chinese martial art, and Bruce Lee was his most famous student. His influence in martial arts in general was tremendous, and many of the people he taught went on to teach martial arts to others.

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I got a tip-off today from someone close to the George Miller camp alerting me to a bit of news.
A small story ran in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday that didn't seem to get much notice, but had some interesting information. The biggest news being that the name of the movie is now JUSTICE LEAGUE MORTAL... I'm thinking there might be a colon missing. JUSTICE LEAGUE: MORTAL maybe?

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here.
This small little film might be the one I've struggled over more than anything else I've seen so far this year. It's a modest work with bold intentions and some of the finest performances I've seen all year, but it's not the kind of movie that's particularly easy to love.
