Nacho Vigalondo‘s debut film, Timecrimes, showed us a filmmaker keen to get into genre right up to his elbows and start swapping the wires around, and so it goes with Extraterrestrial.

Here’s the first of my three interviews with the talent behind The Muppets. We’ll start with the tallest and work our way down – James Bobin, then Miss Piggy, then Kermit the Frog.

Last I heard, Shawn Levy‘s next picture was going to be either Fantastic Voyage or Frankenstein, but it seems that’s old news. As Frankenstein has apparently collapsed under the strain of its $80 million budget, Levy has been left to pick up another comedy picture. And he’s gone for Interns. I get it. I’d really…

In 1997, Orbital contributed to the scores of two feature films, Event Horizon and The Saint, and the music they made was amongst the more powerful and interesting elements in either movie.

This Prank Audition Video For Hollistion Earns Its “Sexual Harrassment” Tag

Adam Green’s sitcom Holliston is the first original commission for FearNet. It is, in some respects, a reworking of a reworking of Green’s first feature, the $400-budgeted Coffee & Donuts. That picture has gone essentially unseen since it was made over a decade ago – though I can’t help but hope it will at least…

Joseph Gordon-Levitt is one charming young man, and a talented actor to boot. Of course, it doesn’t end there. For his next trick, Gordon-Levitt is to star in a film that he is himself directing, and which he has also written. He’s cast himself as a Don Juan figure, and cast Scarlett Johansson as one…
