Dark City Directors Cut


Dark City is a masterpiece of science fiction cinema, which was unjustly ignored on it's cinema release yet gained a cult following on DVD. The original edition came out in the early days of DVD and whilst it features some great extras (especially the Roger Ebert commentary), an updated edition is long overdue.

Well, the wait is almost over as a special edition of the DVD hits region one on July 29th. More excitingly, the DVD is the often discussed directors cut of the movie, which runs some 25 minutes longer. Director Alex Proyas has discussed his problems with the theatrical cut in the past (particularly the somewhat unnecessary voice over) so it will be interesting to see his completed vision.

Jonah Hill, star of Superbad and Forgetting Sarah Marshall is in talks to play the 'comedy sidekick' in Michael Bay's forthcoming Transformers sequel. Oddly enough, super bad is also a good description of the first Transformers film.

The Hobbit


Tolkien film fansite theonering.net has a detailed interview with Guillermo Del Toro in which he confirms that Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) are both on board to revisit their Lord of the Rings roles in the forthcoming Hobbit prequels. Del Toro also indicates that he will be faithful to the tone of the original films, with the only major differences being a slightly different colour palette and wherever possible the use of animatronics rather than CGI effects.

Del Toro is apparently a big fan of the one ring website and has already been seen posting on the message boards, suggesting that the site may be the one to watch for news on the film.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull



This new TV spot doesn't give a lot away, but does have some new footage. The film hits cinemas in a little over three weeks, so mainstream advertising should be hitting in a big way shortly.

Site Update

We have amended the site layout to show only the last seven days news on the main page. This will hopefully quicken up the loading times for those on slower connections and sort out one or two other problems.

Older news can of course still be reached by selecting the links on the right hand side of the screen.

The Dark Knight

New Dark Knight poster. Not as exciting as the previous poster, however this is the first to prominently feature Harvey 'two face Dent.

Rumours currently have this film pushing the three hour mark. It will be interesting to see whether audiences have an appetite for a film this long which is, essentially, a comic book movie.

Austin Powers 4

Seth Green has played down recent reports that a fourth Austin Powers film is in active development, telling MTV that the film is currently nothing more substantial than off-hand comments made by Mike Myers during promotion for the recent Shrek film.
