Grisham makes movie deal for The Testament
When I first read about this I was a bit surprised because I thought all Grisham novels went straight to movie adaptation… Not being sarcastic or anything, I like his books and have nothing but good things to say about his work but… How many times have we seen, in the opening credits, “Based on [...]
Tarantino and Pitt to re-team for Stieg Larsson’s trilogy?
Being a bit nationality biased (go Sweden!) this little piece made me look twice. According to Anne Thompson’s column, Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt will re-team (they just finished “Inglorious Basterds“) for a new project – this time based on the ‘Millenium’ trilogy of books by the late Swedish novelist Stieg Larsson. In article talking [...]

Jackman to star in Ghostopolis

Update on The Hobbit
Today I’m gonna give all you Tolkien fans a little update on what is happening with the adaptation we are all waiting for… I think most of us fell in love with Peter Jackson’s mighty adaptation a few years ago and when the word was out that “The Hobbit” was next in line we all [...]
Paul Bettany is going vampire hunting
I have this built in vampire-and-werewolf detector that goes of as soon as I lay my eyes on any form of text/print/image resembling either a bloodsucker or a howler. Today the sensors went off again.
