Mortal Kombat Sizzle Reel Breaks New Ground in Fight Choreography, Reptile Babies

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

A mysterious short film making the rounds appears to confirm that a new movie adaptation of Mortal Kombat is en route, stripping away the kitschy gloss of the early ’90s in favor of a bleak, hyperviolent and aggressively tin-eared take on the classic video-game franchise. Dark Knight -era revisionism aside, there is something this sizzle reel has a combo no other action enterprise can claim: Jeri Ryan, Michael Jai White and deformed reptile babies! [Video after the jump NSFW, obviously.]

Voltron Movie Scrapped

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Your Saturday-morning cartoon flashbacks suffered another blow this week as the long-planned Voltron: Defender of the Universe adaptation died in captivity. The animation reboot will instead be sold off to TV for parts — 26 parts, to be exact, airing next year on Nicktoons. This follows the reassignment of ThunderCats and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers projects from the big to small screens as well. Can’t anybody appreciate a sword-wielding robot made out of lion spaceships anymore? Sheesh. [ Variety via JoBlo ]

Tom Arnold Nabs CMT Pilot

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | 1 Comment

Did the Ray Romano series Men of a Certain Age prompt anyone else but me to ask, “Shouldn’t Tom Arnold be in this?” Well, that dream deferred is ostensibly occurring: Arnold is set to star in CMT’ s untitled David Litt comedy about a hardware store owner and family man who is a “salt-of-the-earth kind of guy, good-hearted, eager-to-please, optimistic, but sometimes overwhelmed by the chaos around him.” Sounds dependably Arnoldian from here.

5 Films That Might Clue Us Into Danny Boyle’s Olympic Opening Ceremony

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Word on the street is that Danny Boyle is the front-runner to direct the opening ceremony of London’s 2012 Summer Olympics. Such an endeavor would easily be the most ambitious undertaking of the 53-year-old Oscar-winner’s career — but that’s not to say he’s not qualified. With the help of 2012’s weird little mascots Wenlock and Mandeville, let’s have a look at five Boyle films that might inform his imminent world-class effort.

The Bachelorette Studfinder: Hold Me Closer, Smiley Dancer

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

During last night’s episode of The Bachelorette , several gentlemen stepped up and revealed themselves to be real competitors for Ali’s manufactured affection. Still, just five of them can rank in Movieline’s Bachelorette Studfinder, so get out your gel pens and spiral pads, because it’s time to pass notes about the dreamiest contestants in Ali’s periphery.

Should Michael Fassbender Do X-Men or Spider-Man?

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

You know you’ve made it as a really interesting actor in Hollywood when you’re offered a comic book villain, and so it is that Michael Fassbender must make a choice: according to Fox 411 , he’s been hotly pursued to play both Magneto in X-Men: First Class and the yet-unnamed villain in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot. Of course, Fassbender does have a bad guy role on the books already in Jonah Hex , but let’s just forget about that for now — after all, Warner Bros. has . [ Fox 411 ]

London Mayor Still Pissed Over Losing Harry Potter Park

Posted on June 8, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, hasn’t forgiven Warner Bros. for building its “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” theme park in Orlando, taking to his weekly newspaper column to urge reform in all matters of unholy pagan leisure time. Opening June 18 in Florida, the 20-acre facility is the world’s first dedicated to the boy-wizard institution — and, if Johnson and his angry British constituency have anything to say about it, certainly not the last.

This Week On Cable: What Patrick Wilson and the Beverly Hills Chihuahua Have in Common

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

There are a large number of indies and classics laying siege to the wire-waves this week on cable, and there’s really no better show in town unless you’re planning on putting one on yourself — nude but for a clown nose, beginning a conga line down Main Street and hoping others will join in. Or not.

What’s On: Barenaked Bachelorette

Posted on June 7, 2010 by | Leave a comment

The Bachelorette ventures back to the ’90s this week and features a band you haven’t thought about since VH1′ s Top 20 Video Countdown was an active part of your life. At this rate, half of the vying bachelors will be narrated with Pop-Up Video bubbles, and bachelorette Ali will confess that she’s Shawn Colvin. This is likely all false, but just in case it’s not, be prepared for the best night of your life.
