Escape from NY remake is moving forward
Let us continue down remake lane, shall we? I’m actually almost too young to have any emotional ties to “The Escape from New York.” I remember seeing it the first time when I was like ten years old but I must admit it didn’t do anything for me. Later on, when I was in my [...]

It looks like Robert Downey Jr. won’t ride into the wild West after all.

Nimród Antal talks Predator reboot
One of our favorite movie monsters of all time, in all categories, is without a doubt the Predator.

The sequel had it’s [...]

A week without news about a reboot or remake wouldn’t be a… well, it hasn’t happened yet. And if we can find news containing the words werewolf or vampire, it’s pretty much a done deal. Moviemind News loves monsters. We’re not so found of Saw-and-Hostel-type-of-horror but we love monsters.

Hold your horses and bring in the cows! I’ve read some strange and surprising casting news over the years but this one is a winner. Mind you, I’m not saying this is a bad choice – it’s just… not what you would expect. Adrien Brody, the Oscar winner, is ready for some serious action in [...]

I was over at The Hollywood Reporter and they had a little piece about director Bryan Singers upcoming projects. A remake. Apparently Singer is unsheathing “Excalibur,” redoing the 1981 John Boorman movie about King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The project is still in the early stages and Singer’s involvement is still [...]
