Welcome to the Film School Rejects Archive

An update on the possibility of a Machete feature film and sequels! Straight from Trejo’s mouth.

This little tidbit comes to us from our most faithful spy, PatientZero, the humanoid who brought us the news about The Blob hitting the big screen in Wolverine. This time, he comes to us with news that will tickle the fancy of any Joss Whedon fan — and we know that there are a lot of you out there.

An exclusive bit of casting for the upcoming Screen Gem’s film Legion!

Today we have another entry into the overflowing category of “unnecessary remake type things.” Now, I can call this 2008 edition of Day of the Dead directed by Steve Miner a “remake,” completely, as a good number of things have been changed. Basically, it’s an origin story of sorts for a zombie outbreak, using the same location and characters as the original Romero version.

Resident Reject Robert goes past his boiling point once again on the over abundance of poorly rendered CGI infesting movies.

Despite Mick Jagger’s lively prancing—his energetic frontmannery—a Rolling Stones concert is above all a sonic affair, rather than a visual event. A concert film, then, would seem pretty straightforward, at best: something to hear, but not much to look at—the sort of thing that goes straight to DVD or PBS. Martin Scorsese, however, through his ever-moving concert cam, manages to make Shine a Light both.

According to MTV’s Movie Blog, Tom Hanks won’t be playing Guy Montag for Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 after all. For a film that has been floating the rocky studio seas since 1994, this is another incredible set back.

I will admit that it is pretty damn hard to keep up with all of this viral marketing for The Dark Knight. There have been bus tours, questions of seriousness and even some cakes with cell phones baked into cakes. Now, we get a Clown Travel Agency.

For those who are, like me, a fan of the Juno soundtrack, you can rejoice in the announcement that Rhino Records will be released “Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs”, a 15-track collection of songs that did not make it onto the original soundtrack.

Today, we got word from the guys at News Askew that the film’s official website received an update. We raced over there to find that Kevin has published a few new images from the film, which can be seen after the jump.

Few directors are more political in their movies than Oliver Stone, but has he crossed the line by putting into production a film about the Bush Administration? Well, the one thing that does impress us is the stellar cast he’s putting together.

If you were one of the un-lucky people to say “Nah, I’ll wait for DVD”, you know that you were dealt the misfortune of two DVD releases and no special treats.

Are you (the die hard fan) able to get over that fact and understand that your favorite characters might never have hit the big screen without a little promotional bump from a third-party? Hopefully you can, as Marvel’s upcoming film Iron Man seems to be another in the long line of car commercials turned action movies.

Henry Bean’s latest film, Noise, about a man who tries to silence New York City by breaking into cars and disconnecting the alarms is based on a true story. It’s partly his own. I don’t just mean he wrote the script. I mean it’s based on his own life.

Derek Mears is confirmed as the new incarnation of Jason Voorhees in the Platinum Dunes remake of Friday the 13th. While final negotiations are still being hammered out (or macheted out, if you prefer), Mears is clearly the final choice for the slasher favorite.
