Leonardo DiCaprio leads the ensemble cast; Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Rob Reiner and Kyle Chandler also star.

Matthew McConaughey has joined the cast of Red Granite Pictures’ The Wolf of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The film, which begins shooting this month in New York, is based on former broker Jordan Belfort’s best-selling memoir. Red Granite is fully financing and producing the movie. Continue reading

I thoroughly enjoyed Hugo, which was a far cry from Martin Scorsese’s normal flair. Even so, it is one of the most renknown movies of…

Paramount’s Jack Ryan reboot has had its share of false starts, but the fact that it’s finally begun casting in earnest can only be a positive sign. Chris Pine‘s been attached to play the beloved Tom Clancy creation for years, but he’s been all alone in the spotlight.

That changed a few weeks ago when director Kenneth Branagh (who got the helming gig back in March) cast himself as the villain, and now he’s narrowing down the possibilities for the female lead role as well. On that short list are Keira Knightley, Felicity Jones, and Evangeline Lilly.

Somehow, I was unaware of this film…

The LA Times says that Orders to Kill will follow “William Pepper (Jackman), a controversial attorney and activist who for decades has argued that convicted killer James Earl Ray, who recanted his confession and died arguing his innocence, didn’t shoot MLK.” Millennium Films is producing and financing, but a distributor isn’t lined up yet.

The LAT further explains that this movie will span years as it follows Pepper’s “one-man campaign” to explain that the United States government was really behind MLK’s assassination. Hanna Weg wrote the script, based on Pepper’s book Orders to Kill:…

Though talk of Indiana Jones 5 has continued in the years since Crystal Skull, there’s really been no actual forward movement on the pic.  Steve asked Marshall if he thought that it was realistic to expect a fifth film or if Crystal Skull was the “last hurrah,” to which Marshall replied:

“I say, for me, [Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is] the last hurrah.  I know that yes, we talk about it, but there’s no idea, there’s no MacGuffin.”

Oh man I hope there’s not a 5th film given how bad the 4th film was. The only way I would be interested at all is if they said something like, “yeah,…

As for the plot, director Tony Gilroy has revealed that The Bourne Ultimatum would be the jumping off point for his film, with the climax of the original trilogy setting in motion the events of Legacy. Not quite a sequel, not quite a prequel. Think X-Men Origins: Wolverine’s relationship to the X-Men trilogy in reverse. But you know… good (hopefully)

I wasn’t all that excited for this film at first. If really felt like the powers in charge were just trying to find a way to squeeze some more money out of the franchise. But I’m starting to get a little more excited for it. I plan on seeing…

“Cloud Atlas” explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave dramatically through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future.

In many ways this film looks like it could be interesting, and it is from the creators of The Matrix which I greatly enjoyed. It looks like it has some very interesting elements. The trailer was very long, and at first it was a bit…

Apparently, when it comes to Middle-earth, director Peter Jackson thinks three is the magic number. Last month at Comic-Con, Jackson teased fans with the idea that he was interested in pushing beyond his planned two-film adaptation of The Hobbit. Today, after weeks of intensive talks with Warner Bros. over how exactly that might be achieved, Jackson announced on his Facebook page that he is, in fact, going to turn The Hobbit into a trilogy.

I have not been a big proponent of some of Jackson’s decisions. Particularly his decision to shoot The Hobbit at 48 frames per second. But I will…
