ToyQuest Nabs Monsters Vs. Aliens License

Either Dreamworks has a lot of confindence in ToyQuest or they’re not too thrilled about their first 3-D animated film, Monsters Vs. Aliens.

Downey Playing Cowboys & Aliens?

With Iron Man raking in money hand over fist, still, I’m sure one of the big questions in Hollywood is something we’ve not heard in a long time; what is Robert Downey, Jr. doing next? Other than the inevitable sequel(s), it looks like it might be the long-gestating adaptation of Cowboys & Aliens.

Dreamworks Remaking Yomigaeri

Sometimes it’s hard to tell if something will really be fitting into our genre or not, so it’s just easier to throw it against a wall and see if it sticks. Much like spaghetti. So I’m throwing the announcement from this morning's Variety that Dreamworks is remaking the Japanese film Yomigaeri and seeing if it slides down or not...

Dreamworks Fights Back Atlantis

Imagine if one day, for no discernable reason, Atlantis finally decided to make its way back to the surface and kick our land-dwelling asses. Such is the premise (well, sort of) for Platinum Studios' Atlantis Rising, which The Hollywood Reporter learned has been bought up by Dreamworks for a live-action adaptation.

DiGilio to be Damned

Wow, it’s all about literary adaptations this morning, eh? Which I have to say is a welcome change from story after story about remakes... Variety reports that David DiGilio has been tapped by Dreamworks to pen the screenplay for The Damned, which started life as a graphic novel from Oni Press written by Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt.

Voices, New Pic for Monsters Vs. Aliens

Aside from some initial early rumblings about what the film will be about, it’s been a while since we heard a peep from Dreamworks Animation regarding Monsters Vs. Aliens. Today their vow of silence was broken to USA Today and a new pic has been revealed.

Moving Monsters

While I’m just as excited as the next guy to see how James Cameron follows up the untouchable success of Titanic with his 3-D live action/CG hybrid Aavatar, luckily I won’t have to miss it opening weekend because it’s competition just moved out of the way.

Anderson, Joe (The Ruins)

Interview by: Uncle Creepy As you would imagine, anyone who's been dropped into the dark abyss of an ancient Mayan Temple and thereafter has his legs broken is bound to have some tales to tell. Especially when he then also becomes the victim of man-eating plants. Joe Anderson plays just that man in The Ruins (review here), and we've given him a place to talk up all that is squishy.
