Dear Oliver Stone, what the hell was that?

We sat down (over the phone) with Tomas Alfredson, the director of the vampire coming-of-age film that’s getting incredible buzz and a limited release on October 24th.

Depp isn’t getting $50 million. Russell Brand isn’t co-starring. The Earth is still round.

A little company called Pixar has a new poster Up on the web. Get it? It’s a pun because that’s also the name of the movie. Clever, we know.

It’s been almost 25 years since Joe Haldeman’s novel’s debut, but Ridley Scott may finally bring it to a theater near you.

Thanks to our intrepid friend EGamb from NYC and our very own addiction to watching the Alternate Scenes feature on all of our DVDs, we caught this awesome, nanosecond glimpse of Captain America in Louis Leterrier’s The Incredible Hulk.

To those who don’t spend several hours a day debating whether Godfather was better than Godfather II (it is), and an entire day watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy as a personal challenge, the idea of film as literature probably seems radical.
