Spider-Man 4 a done deal for Tobey and Sam?


spider-manAccording to the illustrious Nikki Finke over at Deadline Hollywood Daily, Columbia Pictures has closed a deal that would see Spider-Man director Sam Raimi and star Tobey Maguire come back to make Spider-Man 4. I have no idea how many dumptrucks of money the studio must have used to entice the twosome back for a fourth round of superheroics but it has to be a lot. Let's hope that the script for number 4 (written by Zodiac screenwriter James Vanderbilt) is a lot better than the fragmentary mess that was Spider-Man 3.


Look at this Body of Lies

MPAA bans Zack and Miri Make a Porno Poster


Oh no! Did I read that title correctly? Kevin Smith must have really made a boo boo with his poster for the upcoming Zack and Miri Make a Porno. Goodness gracious what the heck can be so bad? Kevin Smith has already had issues with the MPAA around the rating for this film and won an appeal to reduce the rating from NC-17 to Restricted. This must really be horrific.

The offending poster after the jump (believe me I'm protecting you):

Gremlins vs. The Exorcist, Batman, The Goonies and everyone else


Check this awesome fan-made video out. Sacha Feiner is a filmmaker living in Brussels who really dug Gremlins 2 and wanted to see a sequel. Since Warner Bros. didn't make a third movie, he made his own using a hand-crafted Gremlins model, a bluescreen and a lot of free time. The result is a short film that you've gotta see for yourself to believe:
