BY James White Jul 2nd 2009 // 5:05AM FILED UNDER: Movie News

It’s only just started to gear up properly, but the rumours about Thor casting are still rolling – with Jessica Biel reportedly in talks.

BY James White Jul 1st 2009 // 6:06AM FILED UNDER: Movie News

The trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s new pic, The Informant! is now online and you can see it below.

What was initially thought might be a deep stare into corporate culture and whistle blowing looks like more of a black comedy, with Soderbergh bringing both Matt Damon and a little of the Ocean’s style to the film.

Not only does it look like a lot of fu

BY James White Jun 30th 2009 // 23:23PM FILED UNDER: Movie News

The first teaser trailer for Alvin And The Chipmunks: The Squeakuel has arrived.

Let’s face it, you knew it was coming the minute the first movie made ten bazillion dollars at the box office.

Much as many of us might hate the idea of the CG singing ‘toon beasties, the kids love ‘em and they’re here to stay.

So grab an ankle biter and make them watch it a thousand times in punishment for what they did.

Duncan Jones’ follow-up to Moon

BY James White Jun 30th 2009 // 8:08AM FILED UNDER: Movie News

In between plugging sci-fi pic Moon, Duncan Jones has been talking more about the next one – futuristic thriller Mute.

“Moon (below) is about alienation and isolation,” he told Screen Daily. “The next one will have a different vibe. It’s not about one actor on their own, it’s an ensemble piece.”

So what is it about, exactly? Jones wouldn’t spill much, but fortunately, producer Stuart Fenegan was on hand to fill in a little more info.
