If you like Keanu Reeves, boy are you going to be happy with this. I’ve got two trailers here for you: Man of Tai Chi, and 47 Ronin.

Man of Tai Chi is Keanu Reeves directorial debut, and trust me when I say it looks absolutely terrible. I’d like to give the guy a chance as a directory, but honestly this just looks plain awful.

And I don’t know what it is with Reeves and these oriental marital arts things, but this second trailer is for 47 Ronin, which is very Japanese. I’m not sure what to think of this one. I have a little bit of a bad feeling about it but I like to keep a positive spirit…

Cumberbatch’s people told the New York Daily News in no uncertain terms that the Brit star would not appear in Episode VII. “There is no truth to the rumour Benedict has been cast in Star Wars,” said a spokesperson. “I think the rumours are circling because JJ and Benedict have just recently had a wonderful time working together on Star Trek.”

Well, I mean of course they do. And you know, we’ve never been lied to about these sorts of things, and certianly not where JJ Abrams and Bad Robot are concerened… (/sarcasm).

There is a glut of public-domain adaptations in the Hollywood pipelines, but The Fugitive directorAndrew Davis has one that might be worth keeping an eye on.  While doing press for The Fugitive‘s 20th anniversary Blu-ray release, Davis told CraveOnline, “I’m currently putting together a modern version of Treasure Island set in post Katrina Louisiana called Thieves Fortune.”  For those unfamiliar with the plot of Robert Louis Stevenson‘s 1883 novel, it centers on Jim Hawkins and a collection of odd characters, and their search for buried treasure on the eponymous island.  It’s perhaps the…

As we previously reported, rumors have been making their way around the web that Benedict Cumberbatch, the star of BBC’s Sherlock, may join the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. Now, Badass Digest claims to have heard that Cumberbatch is up for the major role of a Sith villain, who will menace the series’ new protagonists throughout the trilogy.

Considering that Star Trek helmer J.J. Abrams is the man behind the new Star Wars installment, it’s not totally shocking that Cumberbatch might be at the top of the director’s shortlist for the part of a villain. After all, the British thesp knocked…

I haven’t posted about this film yet because I’m not really interested in it. I’m just not into race cars and the like and despite the fact that it looks like there may be a story here I can’t get into it. Still, I run a film site so I should publishing something about it, right?

I’ve been seeing the trailer for this film for a while both online and in theaters and I have to say, none of these are doing a lot for me to get me interested. But, I expect some of you will be interested in this film, so here you go.

What do you guys think? Should I get more interested in this film?

You’ll want to be sure to join Chad and myself tonight on The MovieByte Podcast where, among other things, we’ll talk about Closed Circuit.

Of course I don’t know what other news there is to talk ab… OH WAIT! Benedict Cumberbatch as the possible villain in Star Wars VII. We should probably talk about that. Of course, there’s plenty of other things to talk about too and as always, it should be fun to chat with you guys about all the goings on.

Be sure to join us at 7:30 PM CDT!

The search is over: Dakota Johnson (Ben and Kate, The Social Network) will play Anastasia Steele and Charlie Hunnam (Sons of Anarchy) will take over the high-profile role of Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades Of Grey.

Author E.L. James tweeted the news this morning. The movie will be released on Aug. 1, 2014.

No clear candidates for the high-profile roles had emerged since Focus Features and Universal paid $5 million in March 2012 for movie rights to the best-selling trilogy — but there were lots of rumors. Earlier this year, Emma Watson’s name hit the mill for…

Last week, some unfounded rumors began to circulate the internet that Bryan Cranston had signed on to play Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s upcoming Man of Steel sequel. Many of you wondered why we never posted this story and it was because we thought it was inaccurate and a fabrication. Now, Cranston himself says the rumor that he’s signed a six-picture deal to play the bald antagonist are not true.

“Six? This is all news to me,” he said to Boston.com. “I think that maybe my name is bandied about because I’m known to be bald. ‘What bald guy can we get?’ The reality is they can take any actor…

Here’s a great interview with the cast of the upcoming TV show Agents of SHIELD: Clark Gregg, Ming-Na Wen, Iain De Caestecker, Elizabeth Henstridge, Brett Dalton, and Chloe Bennet.

The show will air on September 24^th, and I for one can hardly wait! But while we are barely containing our excitement, we might as well watch this interview with the cast.
