Normally we are not the kind of site who brings you every little detail about every little DVD release, or for that matter re-release, but this one is just too good to pass up.

It is very rare that fans get a chance to get very close to a big prop from a big summer movie such as The Dark Knight, but then again life does often lend itself to surprises.

“Lost” star Matthew Fox has been contacted to play the lead character in the new Warner Bros. comic book adaptation Billy Smoke.

In a recent interview with MTV, Kate Beckinsale stated that she has a new found respect for journalists due to her upcoming role in Nothing But The Truth, where she portrays a journalist who is sentenced for not revealing her source after exposing a CIA operative.

Despite getting his feet dirty with the first two Hobbit movies in the series, Guillermo del Toro still has his mind on Frankenstein.

Legendary Pictures wants more 300. And no surprise since the film made its own history as the third highest grossing R rating movie ever.

I ran into this report of an Annual Ninja Parade that takes place in Modesto, California. Apparently thousands of people gather every year to “not see the ninjas”.

When Executives mess with movies, Robert Fure aims to mess back by hitting them where it hurts – the internet.

The action in the following trailer is oddly reminiscent of the fast-paced, high flying energy of the Bourne franchise. Combine that with the flashy, colorful shots that are almost direct descendants of the flamboyant Bond films of the 70s and we’ve got ourselves a damn impressive trailer.

We got a note from FSR faithful super-ninja Tom K. late this evening of a possible picture of a possible Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen poster that has possibly begun circulating around the web. It looks like it could be pretty cool, if it were (a) real and (b) in focus.

This new Terminator film is getting another boost today though, as Helena Bonham Carter is reportedly in talks to join the production, which has already gotten underway in New Mexico.

Take a trip to Wizard World in Chicago, where FSR’s Josh Radde was among a few other press people who got to sit down and talk with some of the masters behind Batman: Gotham Knight.

Modern film geeks seem to complain a lot about remakes. Whether they are needless, obvious commercialism for commercialism’s sake, or flat out assaulting childhoods, it’s a safe bet to rail on any film that’s been done before. Would we have felt the same way in 1956 when Alfred Hitchcock redid his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much?

The story at the top is that WALL-E did exactly the kind of business it was expected to do: it made $62 million for the third-best opening of the entire year so far. But it wasn’t the runaway victory that everyone expected.

An early whispering campaign has already begun in Hollywood for a posthumous Oscar to be awarded to Heath Ledger for his brilliant performance of the villainous Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight.

Talk about a surreal 24-hour stretch — I awoke this morning still trying to process the unbelievably epic nature of The Dark Knight, which I had a chance to see last evening. As well, I also found that Kevin Smith was blogging — about Zack and Miri and The Dark Knight, to be specific.

Every once in a while we head out into the world, seeking a little escapism from our everyday grind. Thankfully, Hollywood pumps out wicked, energy-infused flicks like Wanted. Escapism, ho!

It came as no surprise to hear from First Showing that The Incredible Hulk director, Louis Leterrier, is moving on to his next project, a remake of the classic Clash of the Titans.

I’m sure you remember my older officially cool sneaker submissions that included the Freddy Krueger and the Jason Voorhees sneakers. Well now I found something a little more up my alley.

Assembled by the fine folks over at Black20’s Trailer Park, this is one of those cool little offbeat pieces of the Batman universe that you won’t want to have missed.

Actress Sienna Miller had to wear fake breasts for her role in writer-director Stephen Sommers’ upcoming action flick G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra.

It isn’t even July 1 yet and all the web can seem to talk about is The Dark Knight. And now, thanks to some statistics from the world of online movie ticket sales, it is time to start questioning whether that interest might just turn into box office records.

Get out your light sabers! Get ready for the latest sequel to Star Wars! Alright, it’s not long ago in a galaxy far far away, but in Hollywood where the Stars are choosing sides, lining up to go toe to toe with each other and the two performers unions that govern their lives.

If you missed our conversation from yesterday, that trailer description went over your head. But what we’re talking about is corporations making movies. Not just being sponsors, no, we’re talking about big wigs writing, directing, and producing movies.

Take a look at the recently released poster for “Death Race” and behold giant floating heads!

Robert Rodriguez and his one-legged gal pal Rose McGowan have wised up in regards to remaking Barbarella as their next project together. They decided they just weren’t interested in McGowan as a scantily clad sexpot, and decided to go in a classier direction.

I’m sure anyone can remember the classic ACME products that the Coyote tried using to capture the Roadrunner. A giant rubberband, lead bird seed, whatever.

Sarah Jessica Parker is continuing to milk that cash-cow known as New York fashion, by starring in a new movie entitled The Ivy Chronicles about the life of a fashionable woman with an exciting career living on the Upper East Side.

There’s a scene in The Dark Knight where star Christian Bale stands on a ledge on top of the Sears Tower. Is it real or is it CGI? It’s real; the way director Christopher Nolan likes it and the way he believes an audience should see it.

Anyone who has a Kiefer Sutherland fetish or an affinity for vampires is sure to love the 1987 cult classic, The Lost Boys. In the same respect, anyone who does love the original is surely terrified by the announcement of a sequel.
