Exam, the psychological thriller from British director Stuart Hazeldine, has finally appeared online. I say finally because I actually saw it at the Edinburgh International Film Festival earlier this year, the trailer that is, and it looked really interesting. However it fell fowl of the ...

Well here we are, rapidly approaching the big number of 2010, a number that would have meant someone would have had their space epiphany by now and we were finding that there was something amazing on a moon of Jupiter. The films have got it wrong. However with the passing of the date it's time ...

James Cameron has been talking rather candidly about the latest Terminator film, Terminator Salvation and its director McG. As well as that he's talked about what he thinks Ridley Scott is doing with his career, and it's the wrong thing. You have to admire Cameron for his outspoken views, and ...

There's another trailer online for Toy Story 3, and to be honest it's less than exciting. Once again there's footage from the previous films, and then we leap into the third with plenty of stuff flying past the camera. However when we do get there it just feels there's something missing, the ...

There's a good new trailer arrived for Daybreakers, the vampire horror film (no neutered vampires who drink milkshakes and hang out at the mall during the day here) starring Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, Sam Neill, Isabel Lucas and Claudia Karvan. The film is written and directed by Michael and ...

How ridiculous is this getting, and why do the audience keep going back? Word is out today that there's consideration of another remake of The Amityville Horror. That's after the recent remake, which is the second remake after the four film run, one 3D and a direct to video before its death. ...

Francis Lawrence hasn't done much since his superb outing in I Am Legend (Filmstalker review), since then he's had his name tied in with nine other projects, and we're still waiting to see one of them. Despite these titles there's word of another one that's popped up, In the Small, and it's an ...

Youth in Revolt shows an interesting concept for a film, and yet it features the same sort of performance we see from Michael Cera and young actors of a similar ilk, like Jesse Eisenberg, the mumbling, unsure young character. Let's hope they grow out of it soon. Except with Youth in Revolt ...

The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond is a screenplay from Tennessee Williams which was supposed to be the third film for him and director Elia Kazan after A Streetcar Named Desire and Baby Doll, however it was never to be and the screenplay sat unused. Now, over forty years later, the screenplay has ...

The latest news on the Roger Donaldson thriller The Hungry Rabbit Jumps is that Guy Pearce is joining the production. Already signed up to the thriller are Nicolas Cage and January Jones. That's already an interesting cast list, but it's not the cast that has me interested in this film, nor ...

It's not too often that a project gets everything together before a director, but when there's a big name actor like Ben Kingsley involved in the production as well as taking such an iconic lead, anything is possible. Kingsley is set to play Shah Jahan, the man who built the Taj Mahal after his ...

Stephen King has been talking at another book signing session, and probably surprised at the fact his last one got so much press - I mentioned it regarding a possible Under the Dome mini-series - he's been talking again about a possible sequel to his book The Shining. Now this isn't traditional ...

Beastly caught my eye, despite this very short teaser, the character that he turns into reminds me a little of the character I'm playing in InFamous on the PS3 at the moment, and the moment as he looks over the skyline, looks great. However that has started to fade extremely quickly as soon as ...

I was right earlier today when I talked about a 2D footage onslaught from Avatar, it's really coming out today, and now there's an interactive trailer that allows you to download an Adobe AIR application to run alongside the official trailer. Apparently, because I've not been able to get it to ...

Not really film, but it's damn cool and well worth talking about. It's the new Family Guy film take off of the Star Wars saga, with Family Guy: Something Something Something Darkside. The trailer isn't as great as Family Guy: Blue Harvest was, and I'll include that one for you too, but it's ...

Peter Jackson has revealed that Tintin has finished filming, and yet the film won't be ready for another two years. How so? Well there's all the animation work to be done yet, and that's where the great bulk of work lies. He also talked about The Hobbit, and one of the key elements that is an ...

One of the producers behind The Crow has been talking about the remake, and despite what we've been hearing last year about Stephen Norrington writing and directing the film and all the other associated stories since, it seems that the film is still not actually greenlit. However he did sound ...

I'm a bit concerned that Avatar might just over expose itself before the time comes. I've seen sixteen minutes of it in 3D and I think that I'm well placed to get through the onslaught of non-huge screen, high definition content that is starting to come forth, but I wonder if the less than ...

It's been a long time since I've seen Matthew Broderick in a film that captures my interest, but Wonderful World might just be it. Okay, there's an intense feeling of The Visitor (Filmstalker review) here, and in fact it feels almost too close to that story, but then that was a good film, and ...
