There has been talk about a remake of the hit Spanish horror film The Orphanage for some time. And despite threats of actually making the thing, it appears as if the production has stalled.

It’s no secret around my neck of the woods that I’m a rabidly-obsessive Middle Earth fanatic. So what’s the newest casting rumor to hit the interwebz? It seems Brian Cox just may be joining Bilbo Baggins on the quest to evict Smaug from the Lonely Mountain.

Since we’re talking about movies that involve creepy kids, its time to take a trip to Spain, where director Juan Antonio Bayona wants to take you to an orphanage with a creepy history, and an even creepier present.

The veteran actor is deciding to call it quits…for now. What does that mean for The Hobbit? Nobody knows, so there aren’t any answers inside or anything.

3D Hobbit? Not so according to director Guillermo del Toro. Rumors have been flying that del Toro was planning to take Tolkien’s classic and turn it into a 3D Hobbit Experience.

For some reason I have to write the word ‘Bilbo’ a ton in this post, and it feels slightly gross. Luckily, I don’t have to write “Ryan Reynolds Cast as Bilbo Baggins,” so that’s a relief.

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

All three actors are signed up to reprise their original trilogy roles for the upcoming The Hobbit, so feel free to wet your geek pants. After all, you can’t get any uncooler.

Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark is a made-for-TV movie from the early seventies, and is notable for being one of the only two terrifying TV movies ever made. Now its getting a redo with Katie Holmes and director Troy Nixey.

Guillermo del Toro presents a story of two scientists who have used genetic splicing to create what looks like The Chupacabra. Science!

Guillermo del Toro (Pan’s Labyrinth) might just be the energizer bunny of film directors. He’s got projects lined up through 2010 and now is ready to direct The Witches based on Roald Dahl’s childrens book.

To be honest, I had only heard of fan auteur director Sandy Collora once before today — but that is likely to change, as his film Hunter Prey looks pretty damn cool.

No, the Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth director isn’t making gay porn. Yes, he is set to create a darker version of the classic tale, Pinocchio.

While She Was Out stars Basinger as a troubled housewife and mother who makes a fateful decision to go shopping at the mall.

Does anyone actually want to see a Dr. Strange movie? Kevin Feige apparently does. And he’s the President of Production at Marvel Studios, so that might actually mean something.

Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, who made a major splash last year with the Guillermo Del Toro-produced film The Orphanage, has signed on with Universal to make his English-language debut with Hater.

We already knew del Toro was going to take on Frankenstein. We didn’t realize he’d be keeping his clothes on for it.

Some drama has been stirring between Paramount Pictures and David Fincher, and “Heavy Metal” editor Kevin Eastman knows why. Props to The Playlist, who report that Paramount and Fincher, director of Se7en and Fight Club, have been butting heads over the running time of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. As the bout went on, [...]

I literally have no idea where I’ll be or what I’ll be doing nine hours from now… but Guillermo Del Toro is already planning ahead nine years into the future. He makes the rest of us look so lazy and unmotivated.
