Trainspotting 2 and 28 Months Later

Although Danny Boyle has other projects on, he’s long talked of the possibility of a Trainspotting part 2 and another 28 Days Later sequel.
Here’s a mini-interview of him talking Slumdog (very briefly) and mentioning that they have an interesting idea for 28 part 3.

Waterworld and Jaws

When I was on my movie-hunt yesterday searching for stuff about Scream 4 and the next Jurassic Park film (and also watching Air Force One on TV!) I came across a few good blogs, including ABC News Articulate, featuring “Movie Minutiae” posts on movies like Jaws and Waterworld.

I’ve lost count of the number of comic book adaptions that have popped up in the last few years, but barring The Dark Knight, Hellboy 2 is the one I’ve been waiting for.

I loved Ron Perlman as Hellboy and del Toro’s directing, not to mention his take on Mignola’s world of nutcase Nazis and and Lovecraftian monsters. From the trailer it was quite plain to see that Hellboy 2 would be bigger – at least visually and character-wise, but I was a little worried that the CGI-factor would swallow up everything else.

Dark City Director’s Cut

It’s finally here, the edition that fans of the understated cult film Dark City have been waiting years for. I take a look at the film then and now, as I wait impatiently for the new edition, released in the UK August 8th, and July 29th in America. For the benefit of those who have not yet seen the film, I have tried to ensure the following is spoiler-free.
