Wahlberg, Bale, and Leo are on board – now it looks like Amy Adams might also be ready to step into David O. Russell’s ring with The Fighter.

Comedian Jim Norton and “Pete and Pete” star Michelle Trachtenberg join forces with Kevin Smith to bring his Dicks to life.

Apparently, the guy who directed Cloverfield thinks that Colorado is just as scary as the desolate waste of rural Sweden. Probably just as cold, too.

Have a few spare hours during the day? Like, say, 20? Excellent. Get ready to lose your job and your loved ones as you quickly becoming addicted to using Flickchart.

John Landis has sold remake rights for An American Werewolf In London to the Weinsteins. The worst decision he’s ever made (that didn’t involve helicopters).

Rob Hunter loves movies. He also loved investing large sums into IMAX and Paramount (via Viacom) mere weeks before the release of Transformers 2. These two joys come together in the form of cash money payments that he receives every week and immediately uses to buy more DVDs.

Just like you might expect, the authors of the original manga are upset that the production of the 2003 version of Oldboy felt they could sell the rights to anyone they pleased.

Guy Pearce is spending time with Katie Holmes in the dark. Hopefully neither of them will trip over Tom Cruise…

When J.J. Abrams stepped onto the red carpet at this year’s Saturn Awards, he had to know that Star Trek questions were coming. Luckily, he has all the answers about a possible sequel.

Our special guest Dan Trachtenberg from The Totally Rad Show adds some totally unneeded legitimacy to the show this week as we talk about messages of racial harmony, punching large cats, and give the final word on the movie explosions that hit theaters this weekend.

Jason Lee will be joining the cast of A Couple of Dicks, working yet again with frequent collaborator Kevin “Lunchbox” Smith.

Yoostar put’s you in your favorite scenes from your favorite movies. And Employee of the Month.

The little blue buggers no bigger than three apples tall are going to be hitting the big screen in all three dimensions in December of next year. You only have a year and a half to gird your loins.

Check out the new pictures of Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried zombiefied within.

Paradoxically, Robert Fure, movie critic, wants to remind you that the things critics say don’t mean shit in this town.

While it may seem a little nonsensical at first for a movie site of all places to participate in giving the late King of Pop his due regard, it seems to me that on closer examination, the music and celebrity persona of Michael Jackson has played a significant but largely unexamined role in influencing cinematic expression.

I am speechless at The Reject Report. I really don’t know what to say, or even where to begin with this Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen movie, which has set the five-day record for a Wednesday release with a total gross of $201,246,000.

The Ox-Bow Incident is the story of a lynching that went right, but in the wrong way. Simple as an old man’s morality tale and painfully to the point, it covers a timeless debate concerning law, justice and the misconceptions they suffer in our hands and minds.

Now that everyone on the planet has had a chance to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, to make hilarious YouTube videos calling out Rob Hunter’s review of it, and to send us emails about us covering the film too much – we’re covering it EVEN MORE. What happens when two Rejects disagree this strongly? Get angry and find out.

Paramount Pictures has provided Film School Rejects with an exclusive look at the next character poster from G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, featuring Rachel Nichols as Shana ‘Scarlett’ O’Hara.

It is finally June 24th, and that means that Michael Bay’s latest film, the much-anticipated and much talked about Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is in theaters and ready to have public eyes all over it. And we’re ready to hear what you have to say. **Note: This post will be stuck to the top of the homepage all weekend. Please find newer content below.**

Like Vanilla Ice, I’m back again with new smooth sounds for This Week in Blu-ray. Only a few days late this week, so it would appear as if things are improving.

Superbad Director Greg Mottola and company have set up a production blog for his forthcoming flick,Paul, so that fans can keep up-to-date on the filming, download shirtless pics of Seth Rogen and send ice cream cones for Simon Pegg to autograph and send back.

With Transformers 2, Michael Bay doesn’t pretend he’s making anything but a silly blow’em-up kids movie overflowing with eye candy, and we’re all better off for it.

Does it matter that Transformers 2 is probably this summer’s worst movie? Sadly, no. It’s little more than crassly commercialized cinematic excess, but still some viewers and reviewers have latched blindly on to Bay’s teats as if they expect awesome-flavored milk to start splashing against their tongue. And yes, I am talking about all of FSR’s head honchos…

It’s Friday, which means that the weekend is coming. And while we wish that everyone has a fun and relaxing weekend, we would also like to remind you that the best way to finish such a weekend is with Reject Radio — this week with special guest Dan Trachtenberg of The Totally Rad Show.

I’m writing this Reject Report in the aftermath of the absolute slaughter laid by Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen at the box office on Wednesday, to the tune of $60.6 million. That’s the all time Wednesday record, and the $16 million from midnight screenings in 3,000 theaters is also a Wednesday record.

Ricky Gervais and Matt Robinson’s tale about a world where no one has ever lied, until now.

The sudden death of pop star Michael Jackson on Thursday has caused some discussion in the halls of Universal Pictures, which resulted in the studio cutting a Jackson-centric bit from the upcoming comedy Brüno mere hours before its Los Angeles premiere.

Focus Features has taken over domestic distribution of Richard Curtis’ pirate radio yarn The Boat That Rocked. Universal was planning a release for August 28th, but Focus has pushed it back until sometime in November. They also appear to want to make some cuts.
