It pays to be the director who made the second highest grossing film of all-time. Because when you go to make another film — Batman-related or not — you could have your run of the town, should you decide to load up on quality actors.

Part one in our one part series with director Ondi Timenor examines the world of the internet, the proliferation of technology, and the way our lives are being changed as we continue to live more and more in public.

It seems fitting that we just wrote about the trailer for Pandorum this morning, as it appears to be a contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind. Coincidentally, that is the exact same description that Warner Bros. is giving for Christopher Nolan’s next film, Inception.

Kevin Carr struggles with reviews of the movies the studios allowed him to see: Inkheart, Last Chance Harvey and Revolutionary Road.

“Beat the Reaper”, Josh Bazell’s novel about a hit man turned physician has been optioned by Regency Films as a vehicle for Leonardo DiCaprio. Bazell was a medical intern when Little Brown fought with eight other publishers to acquire the book in 2007.

There was a lot of talk this year about whether or not The Dark Knight could overtake Titanic atop the list of highest grossing film of all-time. As a result, the topic of the “Kate and Leo” reunion in Revolutionary Road was not too far beneath that conversation (if you’re in my group of friends, that is).

Kevin and Neil bring on the fruitcake with their big, fat Christmas special. They question the correlation between Nazis and Christmas with the release of Valkyrie and The Spirit.

A stumbling block for myself as a big, fat American who doesn’t understand all the nuances of Middle Eastern politics is that the movie was often hard to follow.

Even though devout Muslims aren’t allowed to drink, you can when you go see Body of Lies.

Kevin and Neil welcome a bevy of guests to the Magical Studio in the Sky for a special edition of Fat Guys at the Movies.

Nicholas Meyer is penning the script for a project on George Washington that will probably focus on his leading America to independence instead of his time-traveling robot past.

Without question, this proves once again that the full trailer is always much better than the teaser. It looks like we could actually have a really good international spy thriller on our hands here, a subgenre that all too often gets mishandled.

Foreign Objects travels the world of international cinema each week to highlight films worth visiting. So renew your passport, get your shots, and brush up on the local age of legal consent, this week we’re heading to… South Korea!

The first trailer for Ridley Scott’s new action and intrigue movie, Body of Lies, has hit the web. Have a look for yourself and tell us what you think.

In the latest rumors to come out of the Marvel rumor mill (which has, by the way, been working overtime this week), we now think we know that Leonardo DiCaprio is very high on the list for the lead role in Captain America. Interesting…

Norton, and this new Hulk film should successfully help eradicate any memory of Bruce Bana, Crazy ole’ Nick Nolte and Ang Lee’s gamma poodles. So I began to think to myself, ‘If not Edward Norton, who else could possibly fill Hulk’s huge purple pants?’ , and thus I came up with this fun list for Hulk couldabeens.

Variety is reporting that DiCaprio has signed on to star in a biopic of Nolan Bushnell, the creator of Atari and Chuck E. Cheese and long considered to be the founding father of the videogame industry.

He was never considered a viable option to play James Bond when Pierce Brosnan stepped down (that part eventually went to Daniel Craig), but Leonardo DiCaprio may be the perfect person to play Bond’s creator.

Markey Mark and Leo find themselves looking for some blow.

We get our first glance at Ridley Scott’s upcoming Iraq War-themed drama.
