Nicolas Cage no longer part of 'Green Hornet'

DateWednesday, September 9, 2009 at 4:19PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Back in July, Nicolas Cage entered negotiations to play the villain in Michel Gondry's "The Green Hornet," but as we learn from Heat Vision, he's now no longer involved with the film, which has already started shooting.

Not many details have been released, but apparently, Columbia and Cage failed to seal a proper deal. That means they're now looking for a new guy to play the baddie.

New images & poster from 'Astro Boy' land online

DateTuesday, September 1, 2009 at 8:44PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Astro Boy

I simply can't get very excited about David Bowers' upcoming animated adventure "Astro Boy." Maybe it's because the trailer kind of failed to win me over, or maybe it's because the whole robot boy story just doesn't catch my interest.

Anyway, some new stills (via SuperHeroHype) and a new poster (via Joblo) for the film popped up online today, and you can check them out above and below. The pic above is a shot from a battle scene during which Astro is forced to fight some of his robot enemies.

Seth Rogen talks 'Green Hornet' release delay

DateMonday, August 31, 2009 at 4:13PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Seth Rogen

Seth Rogen's upcoming action film "The Green Hornet" encountered several casting troubles during the past couple of months, but those problems are now a thing of the past. On the other hand, the Michel Gondry-directed project has recently been delayed five months.

"Hornet" was set to open in July 2010, but the film's release date has now been changed to Dec. 17, 2010. No reason for panic though, because this shift doesn't mean the project is in trouble again. In fact, Seth Rogen, who co-wrote the film and will play the lead character, welcomed the switch.

'Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans' photos

DateMonday, August 17, 2009 at 7:32PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Nicholas Cage and Eva Mendes

Werner Herzog shot a film titled "Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans," and it's playing at this year's Venice Film Festival. Other than that, we haven't heard much about it recently. Until now, maybe? From Ecranlarge (via Joblo) come a bunch of stills from the film, and you can check out some above and below.

"Port of Call New Orleans" is a remake of Abel Ferrara’s 1992 film "Bad Lieutenant" with Harvey Keitel. The new version stars Nicholas Cage as a cop who investigates the murder of a group of illegal immigrants. Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer and Jennifer Coolidge co-star.

First 'The Sorcerer’s Apprentice' set photos debut

DateSaturday, March 28, 2009 at 8:44AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Nicholas Cage's upcoming adventure "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice" is currently shooting in New York City, and Just Jared recently posted a bunch of set photos from the film.

As you can see in these pics, Cage looks like someone trying to copy WWE's the Undertaker. As for co-star Jay Baruchel, I guess he looks just like he always does.

Anyway, directed by Jon Turteltaub, the dude behind the "National Treasure" flicks, "Apprentice" centers on an apprentice (Baruchel) who is supposed to take care of a magic workshop when a sorcerer (Cage) gives it to him.

The release date for "Apprentice" is currently set for July 16, 2010. Teresa Palmer and Alfred Molina are also part of the cast. Enjoy some of the set pics below and click here for more.

Movie Review: “Knowing”

DateSunday, March 22, 2009 at 9:58PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Seen on: March 22, 2009

The players: Director: Alex Proyas, Writers: Ryne Douglas Pearson, Stiles White, Juliet Snowden, Cast: Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne, Chandler Canterbury, Ben Mendelsohn

Facts of interest: Proyas also helmed "I, Robot" and "Dark City."

The plot: Cage stars as a professor who thinks he's connected to a series of events leading to a global disaster that could be detrimental to the world.

Our thoughts: Science and religion collide again on the big screen in Alex Proyas’ latest sci-fi thriller “Knowing,” in which Nicholas Cage makes a shocking discovery and tries everything in his power to prevent the end of humanity. It’s definitely not a terrible flick, but I did come across several aspects I simply couldn’t appreciate.

DateSaturday, March 21, 2009 at 10:35PM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Alex Proyas' apocalyptic thriller "Knowing" took the No. 1 spot Friday at the North American box office with an estimated $8.9 million in ticket sales. The film follows Nicholas Cage as he tries to prevent a series of global disasters.

Debuting in second place was new entry "I Love You, Man," which collected $6.3 million. Starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, the comedy centers on a man who has no male friends and heads out to find a best man for his wedding.

Meanwhile, Tony Gilroy's "Duplicity" finished in third place with $4.7 million. In the comedy, Julia Roberts and Clive Owen star as two spies teaming up to pull off the perfect corporate con.

At No. 4, last week's box office champion "Race to Witch Mountain" collected another $3.8 million, lifting its domestic gross to $35.5 million after two weeks in release.

Following in fifth place with $2 million was Zack Snyder's "Watchmen," which brought its total haul to $93.3 million. "The Last House on the Left" reached a cumulative gross of $20 million at No. 6.

Three more 'Knowing' clips debut on web

DateSaturday, February 28, 2009 at 11:11AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Nicholas Cage will be tracking down global disasters in Alex Proyas' upcoming mystery thriller "Knowing," and here are the latest clips from the film.

The first one is actually more a teaser than a clip. It focuses on Cage's character as he tries to explain his friend how a set of numbers point to major disasters.

The second clip is an extended version of the subway clip we got to see earlier this month. Here, Cage tries his best to protect himself and others during a massive subway crash.

Finally, the third clip shows Cage as he witnesses the crash of a plane and tries to track down any survivors.

In "Knowing," Cage plays a father who discovers a mysterious letter with numbers inside a time capsule at an elementary school. After solving the puzzle, he realizes the letter predicts different kinds of catastrophes.

The film opens March 20, 2009. Enjoy the explosive new clips right after the jump.
