Spielberg Uncancels the Robopocalypse
Earlier this week The Hollywood Reporter acted as the bearer of some pretty disappointing news, announcing that Steven Spielberg’s follow-up to Lincoln— an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s science fiction novel Robopocalypse— is being put on ice for an indeterminate period of time. That’s a king bummer of a bulletin if I’ve ever seen one; Spielberg and genre, particularly sci-fi, go together like peanut butter and jelly, the film had him working with Anne Hathaway and Chris Hemsworth in lead roles and Drew Goddard in a screenwriting capacity, and the book (so I’m told) happens to be pretty great. It’s a shame to hear about a project like that grinding…

G-S-T Review…Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln is considered by historians to be one of the best, if not the best, President of the United States of America. It is only fitting that one of the best directors of our time takes the helm on Lincoln. Most audience members that wander into Lincoln will already be aware of the events that transpire throughout the course of the film. We know what the outcome of the movie will be, because it is history. However, the joy is in the journey as you are thrust back into an explosive time rife with turmoil and change. Lincoln is ripped from the pages of history, meticulously reenacted and then…

AMC Theatres' 'Lincoln' Q&A with Steven Spielberg & Daniel Day-Lewis
It’s getting close to the holiday season and that’s when studios unleash some of their most anticipated and sensational films. Among them is the Spielberg period-piece Lincoln. AMC Theaters recently held a Q&A with Steven Spielberg & Daniel Day-Lewis and the two, extremely talented and respected film personalities sat down to a whopping 42 minute session following the screening of their upcoming film. Spielberg always gives entertaining and immensely insightful interviews so have a look if you’re at all interested about the film (which between you and me looks like the duo can just collect their Oscars now). Enjoy! Starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal…

Sweet Trailer…'Lincoln'
I’m asking, in earnest, for someone to explain to me the “trailer for a trailer” phenomenon that’s gaining more and more popularity as days go by. What’s the point? What’s the purpose? Is the intended effect one that truly lives up to the word “tease”? Do studios think that teasing upcoming trailers will ensure that those clips receive more hits than they would otherwise? There are few things that bug me to the point of needing to simply kvetch about them openly when it comes to film, and this trend happens to be one of them. But that’s maybe besides the point. DreamWorks teased out footage from the full trailer…
