Tom Hanks Jumps Out of the Fires of Fahrenheit 451

By  

According to MTV’s Movie Blog, Tom Hanks won’t be playing Guy Montag for Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 after all. For a film that has been floating the rocky studio seas since 1994, this is another incredible set back.

Justice League: Hayden Christensen is Superman?

By  

Earlier this month, we reported that the film was expelled from Australia based on not being able to get a tax break from the Australian government, and was forced to move to Canada to complete principal photography. Today, our friends at Cinema Blend got a great casting scoop from a reader in British Columbia.

By  

Like a hirsute, yet delightfully overweight, male burlesque dancer, director Kevin Smith raised our temperatures about Zack and Miri Make a Porno without revealing too much in his latest interview with News Askew fans.

Probably, but the folks over at ComicMix have paid your bail by creating a really cool list of the ‘Batman’ comics you’ll need to brush up on before heading to the box office.

Jason Reitman to Tackle Corporations in Novel Adaptation

By  

I wish I had one more rhyme for the title of this post to mirror the genius that looms on horizon for Jason Reitman fans. The Juno director told MTV Movies Blog that he’ll be writing a new film to helm at the end of the year – after his duties on Jennifer’s Body.

Jennifer’s Body: Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried to Fight in their Undies

By  

To balance out the severity of his new dramatic subject matter of his next film, Jason Reitman evoked the image of “Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried getting into a fight in their underwear” that will be featured once Body starts filming in three weeks.
