Fox ordered Ridley Scott to extract about 40 minutes of footage from his original cut of the film, making the theatrical cut borderline incomprehensible, puny, meaningless, and a box-office bomb. With the additional footage added back in for The Director’s Cut the film transforms into something grand, gorgeous, and significant.

If Ridley Scott is doing one thing with his upcoming period action film Robin Hood, it is historical accuracy.

Universal Pictures has released the Superbowl TV spot for their upcoming action tentpole Robin Hood, from director Ridley Scott.

I admit that I, too, scoffed at the idea of a Monopoly movie. I still do. It’s not just the cold I’ve been trying to beat for a few days.

Since Peter Berg might possibly, maybe, could not be directing Dune, we’ve decided to throw a few hats into the ring. Who do you think could helm one of the hardest science fiction adaptations of all time?

On a very special episode of Reject Radio, mistake guest host Landon Palmer for Bill O’Reilly, get pissed at movie marketing, and Neil has one more margarita than is advisable.

It’s been rumored for a little while, but now it’s official… Ridley Scott is attached to direct a prequel to his classic franchise-starter, Alien. Am I the only one who doesn’t see the upside here?

Right now it’s just wishful thinking on the part of Tom Rothman, but if Ridley Scott’s schedule clears up, he might be coaxed into going back into space.

Earlier today we were talking about how fat Russell Crowe was in State of Play. This evening we get a first look at Crowe as Robin Hood, in which he doesn’t look fat at all. Curious.

Universal Pictures has announced a planned big screen adaptation of the board game Candyland. Seriously.
