/film is reporting that Len Wiseman (director of LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD and UNDERWORLD, husband to Kate Beckinsale) has been tapped by Columbia to helm the TOTAL RECALL remake. I guess this is good or bad news depending on your opinion of the guy. Personally, I dig him and while he’s no Paul Verhoeven, he’ll do a good job. And yes, I really mean that. LIVE FREE and UNDERWORLD were both solid action pics that had problems that existed on the script level, not the film level.

Does a film about middle-aged men getting together during the summer and reminiscing about the “good old days” sound interesting to you? Probably not. How about if I add that three of the guys involved are Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane and Rob Lowe? That might bring up the interest level a bit, eh? And if I were to mention that Mark Pellington, director ARLINGTON ROAD and THE MOTHMAN prophecies was at the helm, that might spark your interest. How about if I told you that Sasha Grey was in this flick?

After a brief scare with the idea of him possibly directing a HAUNTED MANSION remake, Guillermo Del Toro has eased fan fear by confirming that his next directorial effort will the long-in-development AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. According to Deadline, the pic is being geared up as a big tentpole release that will be filmed and released in 3D. The real shocker here (and the possible reason that Universal greenlit a big budget adaptation of a HP Lovecraft work) is that James Cameron has come on-board to produce, oversee the 3D shoot and possibly lend his name to the marketing materials.

LOST fans rejoice! Two of the most annoying actors on the show (Kiele Sanchez [Nikki] and Harold Perrineau [Michael]) have teamed up to bring us a sequel to a horror flick that didn’t really warrant one! Yay for unnecessary sequels!
Okay, I‘ll try to tone down my sarcasm a little when dealing with this. While I may not have dug Sanchez or Perrineau on LOST, both are actually pretty good actors who sometimes get saddled with annoying roles. All these two need is some better material, material that doesn’t have them being completely superfluous to the overall mythos or having them scream “WALT!!!” every five minutes.

And we’re back again to my favorite subject: HARRY POTTER!! Yes yes, I know, I’m absolutely insane, but that’s okay! At the SDCC (San Diego ComicCon) they were kind enough to set out some of the Horcruxes that will appear in the seventh movie. Kinda. This may be a little SPOILER-Y if you haven’t read the books, but here it is and I’ll give you the total and complete truth about these pictures.

SALT is a big summer thriller that really, REALLY wants to be the next BOURNE franchise and nearly succeeds in doing so until a completely brain-dead third act derails the entire film. Fortunately, the movie is entertaining enough to warrant a big screen viewing and star Angelina Jolie does her absolute best with the material at hand, so all is not lost.

The very first trailer for SUCKER PUNCH has popped up online and it is far more insane than I had imagined. Oh sure, I was expecting crazy, what with the teaser posters and early looks featuring bunny mechs, dragons, samurai schoolgirls and tons of hotties bound in leather. But this is far more than that, this trailer looks a bit like INCEPTION on crack by way of THE WIZARD OF OZ. Can’t wait to see more.

IO9 posted a pretty sweet bit of pre-production art from Legendary Pictures reboot of GODZILLA and…well, that’s all I really have to say here. The look of Big G is good, let’s hope they stick with it. And in case you wondering what that funky symbol up in the corner is, it’s supposed to be some augmented reality thingy that allows Gojira to blow fire or something. Thing is, I have no idea how to get those things to work, so it’s just sort-of there.
