Borat director Larry Charles is back in action with Army of One, a satirical comedy from Endgame Entertainment and Conde Nast Entertainment starring Nicolas Cage as a regular guy who goes on a hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

In a coup for the producers, Harvey and Bob Weinstein have struck a preemptive deal for North American rights to the project via their new TWC-Dimension label, designed to be a home for more commercially minded fare that both brothers believe in.

Army of One is loosely based on Chris Heath‘s GQ magazine article recounting the real-life misadventures of Gary Faulkner, a…

It was just confirmed by Deadline that Simon Pegg (JJ Trek’s Scotty) and Doug Jung (creator of the TNT series Dark Blue) will co-write the script for the next Star Trek film. This comes on the heals of the exit of Bob Orci and the announcement that Justin Lin (Fast and Furious 6) will take on the director’s chair for the third film in the new franchise.

So that’s kind of weird. But I like Pegg and I could see it working out well. But, I do think that means we may bet a bit more humor than we really want in a Star Trek film. I could be wrong.

Fox is prepping a Minority Report TV pilot, intended as a sequel to the 2002 film starring Tom Cruise. However, don’t expect to see Cruise or his character John Anderton, as the pilot is set 10 years after the movie and will focus on one of the “precogs” from the film. In fact, Fox hasn’t announced casting at all, but it has signed on a director: Mark Mylod, known for ABC’sOnce Upon a Time and Showtime’s Golden Globe-winning The Affair.

Mylod, who handled the pilots for Once and The Affair, will direct a script byGodzilla writer Max Borenstein, with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment…

Talk of a third X-Files movie has cropped up often in the past few years, but now it seems like a new TV installment might be more likely than anything else. Fox execs have revealed that they are pursuing an X-Files return — ideally with David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their roles as FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

That’s fine and I’d probably watch it — I’ve watched a few episodes and it looked like something I could get in to, but then I got busy and was not able to really get in the groove — but you know what I’d really like to see Fox bring back? Fringe. I miss…

Director James Cameron said Wednesday that writing threeAvatar sequels is such a complex job he’s delaying the first new film a year and it will now be released in late 2017.

Cameron plans to film the highly anticipated sequels at one time and then release the three films over consecutive years.

The first had been due in late 2016, but he said the writing process had proved to be “very involved” and that the initial target date was probably too ambitious.

How can I possibly convey to you how much I don’t care? I’m just happy the foisting of this non-sense upon us has been delayed.

And some people say miracles don’t happen.

Marshall has now switched gears entirely, and it looks like it’s a Bourne-only world after all, at least as far as movies are concerned. He will not be rolling with Aaron Cross. “We don’t have plans for that. You never know. I never say never. But that’s not the plan. They’re on separate tracks,” he said.

I like Jeremy Renner, I like Hawk Eye and all that, but The Bourne Legacy with Aaron Cross was an unmitigated disaster and I’m glad to see them drop that idea like a hot potato. Meanwhile, I’m glad the real Bourne is back.

Faith-based-film fever is sweeping some very specific parts of the nation. Recent years have seen a noticeable spike in films espousing old-school Christian dogma, and the public response has been undeniable. First, zombie-deity Christian horror film God’s Not Dead returned a $62 million box-office gross on a $2 million budget. (That was a joke; there are no zombies in God’s Not Dead, but a woman does develop cancerous tumors as a direct-ish consequence of writing anti-Duck Dynasty blog posts.)

Two things here:

1. This sounds apocalyptic to me. Is this the end of the world? Christians are…

Edward James Olmos has snagged a guest-starring role on the ABC drama, Marvel.comannounced Thursday. The actor will portray Robert Gonzales, whose debut will have massive repercussions for Director Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team. Other details on the role, including how long he’ll be sticking around, are being kept under wraps.

“Edward James Olmos brings an amazing gravitas to any role he inhabits, something we knew we needed for Robert Gonzales,” executive producer Jeph Loeb says. “When Olmos first appears on our series, everyone will have to take notice–including our favorite… Read The Rest

Welcome to 2015, film fans! Marvel is prepared to ring in our new year right with a new trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron. They will officially do so on January 12 — at least, that’s the idea. But we knew that the last time they tried to hold an Avengers trailer for an announced future release date, it got leaked. So we’ll see if they can keep it under lock and key this time.

Maybe they can satiate the people who would leak the trailer with this announcement clip (unlikely). Either way, Age of Ultron is one of the films I’m most looking forward to this year for many reasons — not the least…
