9 Milestones in the Evolution of Antonio Banderas

In this weekend’s Puss in Boots , Antonio Banderas voices the swashbuckling title cat — a peripheral Shrek character who became so popular that he earned his own $130 million DreamWorks prequel. So just how did Antonio Banderas transform himself from Madonna’s sexual prey in Truth or Dare to a sword-wielding predator in both live-action and animated formats?

ParaNorman Trailer: Norman of the Living Dead!

It doesn’t hit theaters until August 2012, but the first trailer for ParaNorman , Focus’s animated followup to 9 and Coraline , is a playful stop-motion glimpse into the mind of a boy (Kodi Smit-McPhee) who can speak to the dead. He’s called upon when his town comes under zombie siege. Thus far, it looks about as droll and fun as James and the Giant Peach , which is about the best compliment I can give.

IFC is SUPER

As predicted after its raucous, well-received Toronto premiere, James Gunn’s SUPER emerged from a bidding war this weekend with a new distributor. Not quite as predicted, that buyer was IFC Films, which will release the twisted, Rainn Wilson-starring, hero-with-a-wrench splatter-comedy via its new IFC Midnight banner. It’s the first sale of a film this year during the festival proper, with more expected to follow in the days ahead. Stay tuned here for details as events warrant… [ IFC Films ]

Let Me In and the Hows and Whys of the Remake

When it was announced a few years back that a U.S. remake of the Swedish preteen-vampire film (and indie hit) Let the Right One In was in the works, fans of the original let out a collective groan. Leave it to stupid Americans to refuse to read subtitles! The remake — to be made by Matt Reeves, director of the 2008 Cloverfield, as well as several episodes of Felicity — would certainly trample on the delicacy of this small Swedish gem.

The Let Me In Trailer: Chloe Moretz Sucks… Blood

Fans of the original Let the Right One In — of which there are many around the Internet — were justifiably upset when they heard that Tomas Alfredson’s beloved and moody adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s novel was being remade for American audiences with Matt Reeves (a.k.a. the guy who did Cloverfield ) as the director. But the international trailer for Let Me In — America likes short titles! — has arrived and it confirms two things: Reeves was very, very faithful to Alfredson’s original, and Kick-Ass star Chloe Moretz does, in fact, kick ass.
